Man-hater with no sense of humour. Inability to explain relatively simple concepts, more apt to confuse than not. She expects you to have 100% grammar, and gets REALLY upset when you correct her own horrible mistakes. Frustrating teacher.

Janne Holmgren is easy to get ahold of BUT quite rude when speaking to about questions or concerns. unfortunately, its her way or the highway so dont expect this class to be easy. Buy her textbook, and be ready to read the whole thing - she will put you on the spot in class about it.

Didn't let me hand in my midterm via email after D2L had a glitch that wouldn't let me hand it in, was very rude when I asked her about it and has ghosted me for 5 hours now. Tests are ridiculously hard, goes over about 5% of the study guide in the midterm, expects you to know every single detail. TESTS ARE A TIME CRUNCH. i wish we could avoid her

Vague paper expectations, boring lectures, unclear guidelines, papers were HARD (writing only one theory for 6 pages explaining a certain case). BEST TIP: DO NOT HAVE HER AS YOUR PROF!!!

Gives useless feedback. Purposely makes midterm test unable to be finished by students (set up so you get 70%). Boring lectures. Says "uh" and "you know" alot to the point that it's the things I remember from her lectures. Tip is to just avoid her at all cost. Makes you suffer in her tests. 1 paper, 1 midtrm, a big HW (presentation and paper).

Janne is not a good professor. She seems like the prof that does not care about her students. If you want to be put into a panic attack, then write her midterm. The time crunch is impossible for students; 2 hours for a 120-point midterm with multiple choice and SA worth 3-6 marks each is psychotic.

Janne Holmgren is an extremely hard marker. I was forced to take her class online and forced you to read her own textbook which is VERY poorly written. Her tests are borderline impossible and didn't set her students up for any kind of success. Poor demonstrator of favoritism and all around, avoid her like the bubonic plague. 0/10

Unfortunately, this online course is required for the criminal justice program. Her exam was ridiculously difficult to finish and she blamed the students who didn't do very well. She is not a helpful grader for papers, when you go to her for feedback she'll make passive-aggressive comments which makes you feel uncomfortable to reach out to her.

marks assignments unfairly possibly without the prof even reading them. unfortunately one class is mandatory with her or I would say avoid this prof at all costs!

if you dont want to rethink your whole life, do not take this professor. unfortunately, she's mandatory for at least 1 class of CRJS but after her midterm, I have never wanted to die more and DURING IT!

Unfortunately this class is only taught by her. But if you can avoid her for any other class AVOID HER! The midterm for this class makes you think your whole life choices and regret them so bad. Like the midterm is all written with only 2 hours to write it. The test is open book but, you genuinely can't finish the exam because its all written.

Terrible Prof do not take if you don't need too. Midterm was almost impossible, many people did not finish. She does not give the whole class to do it as well. You are forced to buy a textbook that SHE wrote for the class, it is filled with spelling errors and technically deemed not an academic source by her peers.

For being the only prof available for Forensic Interviewing, she is the WORST!! Textbook is essentially a scheme to get money by forcing students to pay over $100 for the most unacademic piece of literature. Exam is extremely unfair and impossible to complete within the allotted time. Save yourself the headache and the villain arc this causes.

speechless....

Midterm was difficult and many people did not finish it as we were not given the full class time. Many individuals asked for the full class time, instead she kept the two hours. Avoid her if you can!! Taking the midterm personally caused me stressed to the point I was hitting my head to think.

If possible, avoid Janne. Her textbook, written by her, isn't the slightest bit academic, but she claims it's amazing since she wrote it. Her midterm is awful, given 2 hours for an exam that would be hard to finish in 3. Also, an interviewing class being online? Interesting. Overall Janne is a hard marker that gives horrible feedback. AVOID HER.

This class is crazy hard. For the midterm you are given a short amount of time for way to many questions. The questions are very hard as well. Janne is not a kind and respectful proessor, she seems to not care about her students whatsoever. Someone needs to seriously reconsider her job as a professor for this course.

You will FAIL the midterm it's all written with only 2 hours to complete it which most students didn't even finish as she was so much detail and explanation for each question but not enough time is given.

She used her own book which costs $200 and there are lots of errors. The class duration is 3 hours but the duration for exam which consists of 17 short answers and 8MC was 2 hours which was not enough time to complete. We asked her to extend time to the regular class hours but she refused.

AVOID. AVOID. AVOID. She made me question my sanity. Her class is online and she teaches the class terribly. She takes marks off of papers for little errors, her midterm made the whole class hate her, didn't allow the whole class time, loaded it with questions, even added chapters that we didn't go over. Run for your life. I pray for you.

Her midterm is heavily written without the proper time to complete, and she's not willing to accommodate. She expects nearly 3000 words for discussion posts without properly communicating guidelines before it's due. The fact that a forensic interviewing class is ONLINE is wild, avoid her if you can!!

I'm convinced she only teaches so she can monetize off of the textbook she wrote despite it contradicting her own lectures. Clear up your schedule whenever her discussion posts rolls around as they are truly just 10 page essays. Midterm will leave you with trauma, 2 hours given to answer 17 written questions. My advice? Run.

If you want to be in a class with a prof that accommodates, understands and values the principles of learning then i suggest you to listen carefully and run before you're stuck here writing a review like we all did.

You'd think a prof would learn after multiple years of seeing students complain about little time on the midterm and seeing students do poorly as a result. Unfortunately, she simply cannot be bothered enough to care and that's all you should know. If you think you're here to learn, think again. If you think she cares about you, you're deeply wrong

As a mandatory class, I'm incredibly disappointed in her teaching style and the class structure. She lacks giving supportive feedback and doesn't provide her expectations clearly. She expects a heavy amount of writing and content in her extensive discussion posts and her midterm is the heaviest exam I've written. Avoid taking her to save your GPA!!

The lectures are unorganized as she jumps from one thing to another. Most of the time she cant get through her powerpoint slides, even though each class is 3 hours long. The textbook is written by her and it contradicts her lectures. The midterm was literally impossible to finish. She has unfair expectations and doesn't care about students :(

TERRIBLE TERRIBLE PROF she doesn't even know what she's teaching half of the time. She contradicts her own textbook and doesn't even explain things properly she jumps back and forth and never finishes the lecture before time she takes the whole 3 hours and still doesn't finish teaching the lecture

Just a downright traumatic experience with this teacher. If I were to go back in time to my younger self, and only say one thing, it would be to never take Janne. A two hour midterm that would still be incredibly hard with the full lecture time is just really mean :(

Midterm is the worst test I've taken in uni yet. She doesn't actually teach and consistently goes over the class time. Her class is mandatory but if you ever have an option DONT TAKE HER CLASS

I am appalled by how unorganized she is, from her lectures to the textbook she wrote herself. I was excited to learn the content, but it became disheartening because of how unclear and messy she is. Her expectation for discussion boards is AWFUL and the midterm was abysmal, not giving us the full lecture time when all of it was written answers.

I lost all hopes and dreams after taking this course.

RUN AWAY.... RUNNNNN AWAYYY... TERRIBLE CLASS

AVOID THIS PROF IF YOU CAN SHE DOESNT KNOW HOW TO TEACH

SHE MADE THE WHOLE CLASS CRY BECAUSE OF HER UNREALISTIC, UNREASONABLE MIDTERM THAT WAS ALL WRITTEN WITH UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO FINISH.

THIS CLASS MADE ME RETHINK MY SANITY

I learned nothing from this class and she doesn't know how to teach and explain. This class had so much potential yet it turned out to be absolute garbage because its online with a prof that doesn't know what she's saying and is terrible at teaching. She sets her students up for failure with her unrealistic expectation.

RUN JUST RUN!!

Course is based on the textbook. Each chapter is 40-60 pages long plus additional readings she assigns. It is also very poorly written, with vauge terminology and badly explained concepts. There are also some outdated (and sometimes offensive) terms used, such as 'aspergers' in ch. 7. She also expects you to write a 10 page essay for every 'post.'

The midterm exam was 17 written responses and 8 MC in two hours. She told the class to do the higher valued questions first as we might not have enough time to finish the exam. You need to buy her textbook for the course, which is extremely poorly written and has major errors in every textbook, not to mention overpriced. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

Would not recommend prof, content is not teached well, it is hard to understand what she is trying to explain. Midterm very difficult to complete in 2 hours. No final exam but a very hard video presentation at the end of the course. Maybe if another prof teaches this class may end better.

Her textbook is garbage and filled with spelling mistakes, but will deduct marks if you make a singular spelling mistake. Her "discussion posts" are really just essays in disguise, and you get assigned three of them!! She makes the class 1000x more difficult than it needs to be while spewing the most pointless information. Janne is my #1 opp.

I tried to like her but as the semester went on, it just got worse. You email her for help on an assignment and she belittles you and compares you to other students. She is nefarious, like thanos snapping away the students will to live. Poof

I emailed her and she responded with an extremely passive aggressive response. She compared me to other students. I emailed based on her feedback which didn't make sense, I asked for clarification and the only response I got was “you can't expect me to give you feedback on everything.” Way too rude and unprofessional to be teaching university.

Makes the class buy a textbook written by HERSELF because no one else is touching that dumpster fire. Deducts marks over the tiniest errors; like how dare you write "reference" instead of "references." She simply does not care about her students. Get ready to question why you are taking this degree, because Janne has that effect!

A 3 hour online class she tends to use half of that time to either go over the course content from the previous week or assignments leaving no time for the new material. Her midterm is stressful and too complex for only 2 hours given. She wants you to use the textbook she wrote and will only give 100 grades to those who use it. Avoid if you can!

don't do it.

i DONT like the way she flicks her tongue. zont zo it.
