One of my absolute favorite criminal justice teachers.
great teacher. loved the actual stories that could relate very well to the topic at hand. would have preferred a couple more exercises but i understand it would have been hard with such a large class and the topics we had.
hole class was great. good stories and problem solving WDFS.There was nothing to be changed.
I found my instructor very helpful and I would take another class with him again.
I found this class very educational and helpful to the career I plan to obtain in my future.
Very helpful and knowledgeable.
Jason Jones is a great instructor! I love all his classes. He is professional and very knowledgeable of the material. It is nice to have someone IN the profession teaching the profession. He gets 5 stars from me.
I love taking Jason's classes. He knows what he is talking about and tells real life stories from the job. Those are always fun to hear. I know I will be taking more classes from him. I like the way he sets up the class structure. Great job Jason!!
Jason was an awesome instructor! He did a great job of keeping the class interesting and teaching us. I felt like I learned a lot in his class and I appreciate how willing he was to help his students.
I absolutely loved taking this course! Not just because the knowledge that I had gained is completely useful, but because Jason is an amazing instructor. Even as I was registering for my next CJA course, as I scrolled down the choices, I looked for his name before I looked for any particular courses..and I found one that's he's instructing- Yay!
Great Professor, has a ton of knowledge on every class he teaches. He is very well spoken and is always open to helping you out. Can be difficult at times but that is a good thing and if you apply yourself you can learn a lot from this man.
Mr. Jones was not only very knowledgeable but he was was very enthusiastic about the information he was teaching. The course was interesting and easy to navigate. His lectures were very thorough and he was very articulate and well spoken. Very enjoyable course. I will take more of his classes hopefully face to face next time.
He is a very helpful and easy to follow along.
I was very impressed by this instructor.
I loved this class. One of the Best teachers. I felt like I was challenged this term. Most classes I have I can just look at the book and never read it, But with this class I had to read the book an I enjoyed it.
Great class, very informative. Learned history of policing to investigating forensics and about all jobs related to law enforcement.
This was my first online course with Jason. It was a little tougher than the face-to-face. But that's okay, I learned a lot. Jason always makes his classes informative and exciting. I thought the online lectures and the videos were great learning tools. Thanks for the great class and I will see you next for the Fall class!
Amazing Professor,Amazing course
Excellent instructor. Jason was fair, clear in his instructions & very well organized. I learned more than what I expected. The lectures & information provided are excellent. Jason's perspective & knowledge were much appreciated. You can tell he is passionate about this class. Best online class I've taken! I loved this class!!!
Best Instructor I ever had!
I really liked this class it was really informative.
Mr. Jones was extremely helpful and was always willing to listen to my concerns. I will be taking as many classes with him as I possibly can.
Great instructor really makes you think and puts a great spin on criminal justice. should be a mandatory class for anyone that is going in to the criminal justice field.
Great class to take!
Great Class! Great teacher also! Provided a lot of information that will help me in my future when I try to become a police officer.
I believe this to be a crucial class that is needed for criminal justice student's. I enjoyed the class time and learned a lot of things that will be used in my career in the future. Thank you.
A very involved and interested instructor, Jason genuinely loves the subject and wants you to as well. Great lectures.
Fantastic teacher and made learning fun and interesting!
Jason is an amazing instructor who was enthusiastic, engaging and extremely intelligent. He has the ability to view problems from different perspectives and challenged us to do the same.
HE is a good teacher, just had no interest iin the class subject took it for my degree.
Great teacher, he really helps out with understanding what the course is about, and how it applies in the criminal justice field.
wish i had taken the class earlier in my studies
Amazing class, love the way he teaches...
Hes a great teacher.
As always, Jason puts a lot of effort into his classes and is enthusiastic about teaching. His classes have never been ones to skate through, and this was certainly no exception.
Good instructor personally I think it its a hard class.
His quizzes were a little harder than they were in other classes I have taken with him.
Jason is an excellent and informative instructor.I enjoy ever class he teaches and truly learn alot from him.
Passionate about subject matter. Very helpful, fair grading practices, accepts constructive criticism and corrections to poorly worded test questions.
Jason is one of the most involved and excited teachers I've ever had. He is extremely passionate about Crisis Intervention and teaching techniques that can be applied to everyday life.
Jason was a great instructor. I'm glad to have taken the class, and to have had the pleasure of meeting him.
Mr. Jones is very passionate about his subject matter. He brings to class a certain contagious excitement with his teaching. He causes the student to stretch their boundry and comfort zone.
The class has helped me get a better understanding of sexual assault and how you are convicted.
Thank you for your class! I really enjoyed it! I hope I can become an Officer like you. You make me want to be an Officer even more! Thank you. Lloyd Harbin
Great teacher, very knowledgeable. Keeps you interested all class period. Everything is black and white though, no grey area.
There needs to be more professors like Jason Jones at PSU. Very engaging, makes students consider all angles of a topic and use critical thinking skills.
Best put together online class I have taken!
Fun class
My favorite teacher in all of high school and college combined
Jason is an amazing teacher and knows in detail any class that he teaches. He has a lot of reading in all of his classes and a lot of quiz's, most classes do not have mid terms, but the finals are a lot of questions, so study extensively.
Has a lot of assignments but some are helpful. I like the group work that is done because it really helps me understand the material better rather than just reading a book. Good feedback and really helpful if needed. I like the stories he tells us.
My first CJA course since a very very long break from school. I couldn't have asked for a better instructor for my first class. Jason is very detailed in his instruction and invites students to participate. Definitely be prepared to read and watch for specific wording changes in quiz questions (he says no trick Q's). Thank you Jason, it was great
Great use of the Socratic method to teach a topic that is completely foreign to the average citizen. Fun, engaging and applicable to the real world.
Jason Jones is a really good teacher. I remember the first class I had with him I was freaked out because everyone said he was a HARD teacher. Not true he is really good at teaching, and help you if you need it if you ask. He is also very honest if you ask him questions he can answer.
Jason is a great guy and teacher. I have had him for three classes now and I am planning on taking another night class with him next term. No better teacher out there.
I appreciate how he teaches the course and the materials he uses, I think he provides different ways of learning which is helpful since not all students learn in the same ways.
My favorite instructor!
Just finished my second class with Jason and I can't say enough nice things about him. His passion for teaching about Criminal Justice is contagious and makes me want to learn more. He also has an amazing memory and ability to recall events accurately and clearly.
This has been my third consecutive term with Jason. Without a doubt he has been one of the best instructors I have ever had. I can tell that he has a passion to teach and to inspire others to pursue a career in criminal justice. above all, I appreciated that he holds you accountable to learn. He's not just there to speak and hand out easy grades.
Show up, do forums, pass.
He is a awesome teacher, and it helps that he is also a full-time police officer.
great teacher, curriculum clear, as long as you do the forums you'll be set.
After taking this course with Jason he is easily one of my favorite instructors I've had. He keeps class interesting and tells some interesting and sometimes funny stories since he himself is a police officer.
As a CJ student, this is the best teacher you will have. This guy is such an inspiration. 15 year veteran working with Portland PD, teaches at 3 schools, trains police internationally, and has a family. Dude works super hard! Despite his busy schedule he still maintains an amazing attitude toward his students. He want's you to succeed and it shows!
Jason is definitely one of my favorite instructors, I have only taken his classes the last 2 terms but i hope to be able to take more of his courses.
Jason could be used as a mentor because he cares about his job, students, and the future of policing. If you are interested in understanding the perspectives of policing, from an honest police officer, then Jason will guide you to further your knowledge of policing. He also keeps the class focused and paying attention through humor.
I strongly recommend him if you want to learn and become something. He's a very smart person with a lot of experience and connections. I'm glad I had him as teacher.
Jason give a great view of law enforcement from the inside. He is neither jaded nor is he a left wing Pollyanna. He provides a balanced view and is open to discussion on most subjects. Participation in class is a key to getting good information.
Enjoyed taking Mr. Jason Jones class, thought it was cool to have the perspective of cop as well as someone who is actually in that profession, not just teaching it.
HE IS A GREAT PERSON AND HIS CLASS ARE INTERESTING AND FUN.
Great professor! HIs class was fun and I learned a lot. Jason is always open to questions. Material and quizzes are great to learn. Would take this perfessor again.
He's a really good teacher. He explains everything very clear for you to understand.
I've had classes with Jason my first term of college, and now my second to last term. He has a good way of incorporating videos and pop culture references to the material to help you learn. I also liked how he was repetitive in his teaching so that I actually retained the information. Watch out for deadlines, and show up to his class.
Jones is an amazing professor. He is very thorough and answers all questions he is asked. Very helpful in and out of class. When we didn't have class , he would attach the lecture with his voice explaining the lecture as if we were in class. Very helpful and would definitely have him as my professor.
He's pretty cool
Jason Jones is a great teacher and into to law enforcement was a fun class.
he was awesome
Course is really easy to follow, lectures are very helpful for tests and weekly forums. Easy grader.
This class was extremely interesting. It had just the perfect amount of work, quizzes and readings to keep me on my toes and learning. Jason always responds quickly when you need questions answered and he's a great, easy going teacher to talk to. The format of this class was perfect.
Very professional and great at giving lectures.
learned a lot!
I've learned a lot! He is really dedicated to his work.
Overall, I enjoyed this course and would recommend it to anyone planning to go into the career field of Criminal Justice. You can tell how passionate Jason is about what he teaches and I think that's what made his class enjoyable.
Jason is a great professor. His lectures are lengthy, and not always too exciting, but he makes up for that with his enthusiasm. You can tell he loves what he does and loves teaching about it. Overall, good professor to have if you truly want to learn about the subject.
Great teacher, and cool guy. He has lots of knowledge and experience about what he teaches. Would take him for any class he teaches.
There were multiple assignments that left me confused and when I reached out to other students for help, more often than not they as well didn't understand what was expected either. This teacher provided lots of information and the lectures were efficient, the only thing that I struggled with is understanding what was expected of the assignments.
He tells lots of interesting stories, and is very open to and cares about students. Also makes it pretty fair and easy to pass the class if you pay attention.
This is my first semester outside of the military. It was very easy to transition into class. Jason is my favorite teacher this semester and he provides a well organized easy to understand class. Genuinely a good guy and respected officer.
Really great teacher and he really helps students by going into detail about the material.
He gives great real life scenarios that he has experienced. He is the perfect person to teach this class. Learned so much from him!!
THE BEST PROFESSOR EVERRR. So kind, actually wants you to learn and is the best prof. I have no other words, hes amazing. Take him 10/10.
I've had him for two years now. He is an excellent teacher. If I transfer to Portland State University I hope to have him.
Jason was a great teacher! Not missing class is the best idea, you will miss activities and things. He did wonderful responding to emails and helping when he could. I did really like his class and he gave good feedback.
This professor had it from the beginning of the term, and wasn't super unorganized like other instructors/professors that I've had. Definitely a class that requires you to attend it in person, in order to receive both full points and to get a better understanding of the subject at hand. Very willing to work with students.
Very great teacher. He helps every student understand the information.
Weekly homework. Online quizzes are easy, but involve lots of reading. He tells you a trick to use to find key words though (ctrl F). Everything was online, in-class lectures were more there to get 4 credits and explain anything you might have struggled with when reading articles/taking quizzes. Attendance is graded so don't miss out on easy points
Most amazing lectures. I would take all of his classes if I could. He grades attendance so dont miss out on 5 points every time. Online forums are extremely interesting and relevant. There is no late passes for assignments, so please do everything on time. He is blunt about everything, and he clearly says there are no late passes. Very easy!
Lots of quizzes based on lectures and reading but very short and fairly easy even if you don't do the readings. Very knowledgeable and honest.
He grades attendance but it honestly wont matter because youll want to go to class. His material is blunt, easy to follow and super engaging. Very little homework, which benefits us and him. Quizzes are easy and made to pass if you did the required reading. There will be extra credit in the term but that doesnt mean you have an excuse to slack.
great professor!!
I really enjoyed the lectures because they were always interesting.
I really enjoyed the lectures because they were always interesting. But you can not miss any assignments in this class.
I really liked the class. You will have about 4 quizzes a week tho, and some quick writing responses.
Jason Jones was very clear, organized and efficient in his class. We received clear instructions and reminders of work to complete. Knowledgeable with experience was great!
Jason is by far the best instructor I've ever had, he actually cares and isn't a bulldog. he is compassionate and understanding. I aspire to be like him when I'm in the field.
It was great having Sergeant Jones as my class instructor! He did an amazing job making things clear, easy to understand, and possible to succeed. The reminder emails, multiple extra credit opportunities, and option to ask literally any thing were all very helpful. He also had a lot of credibility on the subject, so that was really nice. Thank you!
Overall Jason was a great professor. Made a dull subject little more interesting.
Jason is passionate about what he teaches and it helps to get you interested in the topic.
Hes a really good teacher who is also prepared with a lesson plan in his case a PowerPoint presentation. He add little stories and his own experiences to make it more humorous which is nice. If you dont like lecture heavy courses you may not like it at first but his lectures are actually easy to listen to. Overall good teacher!
Jason Jones was very specific about his expectations for the class and for assignments. He also provides a lot of extra resources for us to get more information. My only complaint is that sometimes his forum questions felt a bit beyond my knowledge despite doing the homework and reading the materials.
Professor Jason Jones is very good at teaching us and informing us about ethics in the Criminal Justice. He loves hearing our feedback and will make you think about situations, and not just have you mindlessly regurgitate information on a test. Your critical thinking is put to the test, which is essential in the world of law enforcement. great!!!
Jason Jones is a very good professor. He makes you think critically about situations. This is very important, especially in the world of law enforcement. He gives you good feedback and does his best to make the course as understandable as possible and will go out of his way to make sure you understand. I highly recommend Professor Jones five star
The teacher actually cares about the topic so he takes his time to teach it. Great class.
Great teacher!
Great class. The amount of reading was a little bit difficult to cope with, but overall the books were very informative and realistic, especially Just Mercy. I would have appreciate a little bit more feedback in the forums. I am not sure everybody got the point of how our justice system is impacted by many things, but in a big part by race.
I really enjoyed his teaching style and the class layout. He is very honest about his real life experiences and I was really able to grasp a lot of information. Overall i would take future course with Mr. Jones!
He is a great teacher he has a lot of experience and has awesome stories. He really knows his stuff and is passionate about his work and always comes to class prepared. I will definitely take another class with him if I can!
This was my favorite class to take this term. There was some good information presented and was presented in a way that I am able to retain it.
He makes sure you understand the criteria and has good ethical views
Overall, Jason is an outstanding instructor. Will make you read but overall a great person.
Good teacher. Definitely recommend.
Book is required for class, good instructor.
Jason is a good professor. There are two books in this course.
First I just want to say thank you so my professor Jones. of course he was the best teacher that I never seen before and he was my favorite teacher. In this class I learned a lot about policing stuff which is really important to me because thats my dream to become a police officer. He was and kind and Amazing.
He loves what he does and it shows!
Excellent teacher with good content including narrated slides and a lot of personal experience related to the class. Changing lenses was a tough read though.
Great teacher with a lot of experience in the subject
Outstanding instructor! His passion for LE is there and it really shows!
Jones is an amazing instructor!!!! One of my favorites. He makes things clear and easier to understand! Taking him again next term!
Amazing instructor!!!!!
I like this teacher
Love having Jason! My favorite teacher to have at CCC.
Fun class, great instructor
Great Teacher! Would take him.
The instructor actually cared about the topic, which made it easier to understand as well as make the class more interesting. The instructor also answered any questions we had in the class andd gave great examples.
He's such a great teacher. He thoroughly gives lectures that you can actually understand. The homework is enjoyable, and I feel like I have a good understanding of the subject of the class. I would absolutely take any class with him again, and I have recommended him to my friends who are interested in criminal justice. He's awesome and funny
Great guy with good ethics and values. He teaches his students real life scenarios that stick in your mind. I think he is a good professor because he genuinely cares about students.
Very knowledgeable
The lectures & reading materials/videos were very helpful and offered a ton of insight into a critical aspect of the Public Safety profession. The weekly activities & discussions allowed for myself and my peers to provide our opinions and to respond to others to offer different perspectives. All of his feedback is helpful and insightful.
Jason Jones does a great job teaching Crisis Intervention. He has the practical knowledge with his law enforcement experience and provided a variety of material sources and well as his own PowerPoint lectures. The class was comprehensive and very applicable. Great knowledge for anyone dealing with people in crisis.
One of the BEST intructors I have had in the program. This instructor cares for the material, he gives good lectures and always replies to emails.
Awesome instructor, he's extremely knowledgable on the subject of policing and is able to make complex philosophies easily digestible. He is extremely easy to speak to and work with outside of class as well. I had a few questions, unrelated to class and he spent an 1.5 hours on the phone with me discussing my thoughts. Amazing instructor!
His classes are always very structured and easy to follow. The material and the way he organizes his lectures makes online learning easier.
I found the class overall to be fairly easy. Certain weeks there is quite a bit of reading to do. I enjoyed this class and did not find the essays to be too much.
Jason Jones is a very knowledgeable instructor who is caring and always willing to provide additional help to students. The online class has a consistent weekly structure that is easy to succeed in.
Jason is very knowledgeable and passionate about teaching criminal justice. The assignments that we submitted were a great opportunity to provide critical thinking and our opinions. Gives great and timely feedback
Overall I enjoyed the class and would definitely take another class w Prof. Jones
I enjoyed the class. I liked the structure of the class, he communicated every week with us, so we would know what work we would need to do and when it was due.
When it comes to deadlines, this professor is really good about giving updates to future assignments and making sure that I knew deadlines were coming up. He would give around 3 emails per week so that I knew my deadlines were the same and when they were. He gave assignment instructions that were straight forward, never vague. A 5-Star professor.
Good overall
When taking CJA252 you are required to do quite a bit of weekly reading between the two books and its extremely important to take notes on the chapters for the quizzes.
Very passionate and caring professor.
At first, I was intimidated by the number of weekly quizzes, but as the course carried on I realized they were actually simple. The lectures are really helpful when it comes to understanding the course material. Overall it was a great online course.
Jones' classes are not hard. Do the chapter readings, watch the lectures and quizzes are a breeze. You have a quiz after each chapter and lecture, then one forum. You are not buried in assignments and could do his class in one day if you wanted to. He gives extra credit, extends deadlines to Sundays without penalty, and shares current personal info
Jones was a great teacher. This class is not all to difficult and the professor makes the class easy and entertaining. As long as you read the chapters, watch the lectures, take the quizzes and do the forums you will get a great grade. The lectures are shorter and have videos for entertainment as well as learning. AMAZING PROFESSOR!
This class was fairly easy, not to time consuming. Expectations are clear. Easy A if you just do what your are supposed to.
overall this class was not too time consuming and he is a very understanding professor
The class was great. Just a lot of readings, videos, and lectures.
Overall a great teacher, the course was interesting and no excessive work. Answers quickly and gives opportunity for extra credit
Really nice and understanding. Straightforward and easy to understand all the information.
Cool class
Jason is a very good professor and makes the class interesting to learn about. Ive taken two of his classes now and enjoyed both very much.
Awesome professor. Second class I've taken with this professor and his teaching methods allow for a great understanding of the material you are learning. He has lectures that are narrated, which, for me made the class so much easier because I have had teachers that post power points and you're left to figure out the material on your own.
Jason Jones provides great resources within his lectures and reading material to help students apply to the class assignments. I enjoy all the movie clips that are included to help with examples.
A good instructor. Not bad. I would say he's pretty average. Doesn't grade harshly so thats nice. I would take his class again.
Great class. Jason is a solid instructor and explains each assignment thoroughly. There is a decent amount of homework assigned but it's not an overwhelming amount. I enjoyed listening to his lectures, he gives you a lot of "food for thought" which I definitely appreciate! All in all, great course and great instructor!
Jason is extremely helpful and prompt. He constantly is on top of his assignments, returns emails and will help you throughout the course.
Be prepared to read and take quizzes! But, Jason Jones is probably one of the best teachers I've had at CCC. His opinions were unbiased and he presented information with reasoning and facts. I appreciated his input so much. He's also a cop so it's cool learning about his perspective. I can't wait to have him as a teacher in the future!
Jason Jones is a great professor. He always made effort to provide materials and help as needed, while we were required to do online school. He adapted well to the situation and I would highly recommend him.
Jason Jones is a great instructor; he is very thorough with the information and materials. He is open for ideas and questions from students. He will challenge the way you view policing in the best way. He is also really great at suggestions when asked by students. I really enjoyed having Jason as an instructor.
Overall my experience with taking his class was very good! He is very flexible and doesn't assign a ton of work/busy work. His lectures a straight to the point and are on the shorter side which is nice.
I really enjoyed this class and would highly recommend it to anyone that is interested in taking it.
Professor Jones is great. I'll be taking him again online next term.
Solid teacher that cares about what he teaches.
Good teacher. Easy weekly assignments and quizzes.
Great class, very enjoyable. Weekly quizzes are about lecture and textbook.
At the start of the term, we only had to respond to two people in the forum and then answer questions asked to us. Then out of the blue, we got docked points if someone didn't answer our question and then we had to submit another forum post to make up for it. A bit odd but I would still take this class again. He's a great instructor.
This class is very interesting and Mr. Jones gives you the opportunity to voice your opinion and also receive feedback from your peers. There is reading in this class, but as long as you read and keep up with the weekly lectures you will do great. Also, contributing to the weekly forums is a MUST!
This class was not that difficult, weekly assignments and a short test. Throughout the course i've learned a lot about patrol procedures and what it's like to be a police officer. I definitely recommend this class for those who are interested in becoming a police officer.
Great professor given the circumstances of the pandemic/blizzard term. Also has incredibly easy to follow lecture videos.
The class was extremely enjoyable and the topics were interesting!
Considering the world we live in currently, Jason Jones does a great job of not only teaching about the profession hes in but is also careful not to press his opinion on his students. He leaves it to us to express how we feel which is something I truly respect. He also does a great job of reminding us when assignments are due.
Overall really liked the class. It mainly consists of quizzes and forums.
The class was not difficult to handle, it mainly consists of forums and quizzes. It was easy to learn and easy to follow.
A professor who really cares about his subject and all material and assignments are meaningful. You remember what you learned and there were only one or two weeks where course work was a bit heavy.
This class isn't a hard class by any means it really makes you think and take a step back to see your actual thoughts on some of the topics and laws we cover. Its a great class to take if you want to challenge your thinking!
I enjoyed the different kinds of work we did in this class. There was a good variation of writing, quizzes, and participation. Overall it was a really fun course to take!
I liked having Jason as a teacher
He was a very tough grader on everything... Great lectures and interesting topic but hard to get a good grade.
Simple and straightforward. The chapters can be lengthy but Jason's lectures are very helpful. Weekly quizzes are simple.
Jason Jones is extremely knowledgeable in his fields and he is extremely well spoken. His first hand experiences and insights are truly valuable to anyone who cares about criminal justice or is in touch with the political climate of today. I wish everyone in the country could take a class from him but that's not possible. Take his class.
Patrol Procedures is a class that provides real life current events from Jason (still at PPB). I'm grateful I had the opportunity to hear an officers point of view during the experiencing defund the police, Portland riots,
I really enjoyed Jason Jones lectures. He is extremely passionate about policing and teaching. He applies the material with real-life situations he has experienced. I would definitely take another course with him and will use him as a resource in the future.
I would take Jason Jones classes at any point offered! He is a great professor that cares about the topics covered in this class. He is very well versed and knowledgeable on the topics. The only issue I had specifically is he did not respond to emails in a timely manner.
This is my second time having Professor Jones. Both times I've gotten an A. He's a great teacher and he really knows what he's teaching about. The articles he provided were interesting as well. I wasn't a fan of the three assignments he assigned for this course but they were straightforward and easy to do,
Jason Jones is very good at what he does. I definitely would take one of his classes again!
Jason is an awesome professor. Very passionate about the material he teaches, no matter what course it is for. Easily one of the best college professors I have ever had!
Overall great class, learned a lot and expected to use it in the future.
Community policing was a great course and the work is minimal. Jason does great at providing the information needed in his lectures for the quizzes. Article quizzes are more difficult as they require memory, not my strongest skill.
Not only is Jason Jones an amazing and respected police officer but he is also a great teacher. I've had him a few times and have always enjoyed his classes. Always an easy A for me! He also is inspirational and you can tell he's a hard worker who really cares about his students. Highly recommend his classes!
Pretty easy class, the usual lectures & required chapters with quizzes but not much more than that.
This is the second class I take with Jason Jones. His a very great teacher, he will check in with you if it seems like you need help. Im always excited when I get a class with him cause I know what is expected from and that Im actually going to learn from him.
Mr. jones is a really nice individual and caring with his students. he is very clear on what he wants on every assignment and does not give a overload of home work. I enjoyed his class and would take another class no doubt.
I really enjoyed CJA-252 Restorative Justice taught by Prof. Jason Jones. The reading material was substantial and moving. The lectures were informative and relevant. The discussion forums were engaging and involved. I would definitely recommend this course and professor to other students interested in learning more about restorative justice.
This is like my fifth time taking one of Officer Jone's classes and it has always been great. Not only is he a respected Portland police officer but he is an amazing teacher who really cares about you succeeding. All of his classes have been an easy A and he teaches the material in a very easy-to-follow way. You won't regret taking his class!
Solid professor and all around great guy. Responds quickly to emails. Genuinely cares about what he is teaching and has great personal experience with the subject matter. I recommend taking his classes.
Clear instructions. Gives good feedback on grading. Sends reminders during the week.
I enjoyed taking Juvenile Delinquency with Mr. Jones. It was asynchronous, so I did not get to know him at all. There was little connection between Mr. Jones and I. However, the content and class format were good, and I would recommend the class.
The lectures are easy to understand and follow, the quizzes are not timed except for the final.
I really liked the class. I like how the professor did the assignment where we had to teach one of the chapters to the class. I think I learnt the best on that one.
Jason Jones made learning easy. I really liked the way the class was set up in the online format and our required assignments were very easy to understand and locate. The lectures were never too long and were fairly easy to understand, and the professor was always very quick to respond to any questions I had.
For this class you have to read and read and reread. I only picked this class because it was something I was interested in. I did enjoy this and would recommend it for anyone who wants to find out more about the system.
I took an online course with this professor, but something I enjoyed that he did was have a teacher presentation where as a student you chose a chapter we weren't reading for class and acted as the teacher and taught your fellow peers about what was in the chapter. It also wasn't very assignment heavy.
I appreciate how straight forward Prof. J is, all expectations are clear and always kind when I ask follow up questions. Discussion forums are very important, I missed two and did everything else with a good grade and still have a low C.I havent taken the final yet though. I would recommend taking classes by Jason, just make sure to not miss work!
He was hands down the best professor I have ever had. His lectures were not in the slightest bit boring, if anything out of all my weekly tasks I looked forward to Tuesday's lectures the most!
Well organized lectures
Professor Jones is one of the best professors I have ever had. He's so personable and he makes his lectures interesting. He has done some amazing work in the community. I have tons of respect for him and I highly suggest taking a class with him.
Hes a great person and shows transparency when engaging in a conversation.
His job allows him to provide a real life perspective of the material in this course, which added a lot more information to what was already there. His teaching style is clear and concise, and his ability to convey the material clearly was great.
Mr. Jones lectures are very entertaining and helpful. He is very enthusiastic when he talks and it makes the class less boring. I also enjoyed hearing about his life experiences in the criminal justice field, if you have any questions regarding the field he will answer them honestly.
Jason Jones is a very amazing and inspirational person!!! I would take his classes over and over again if I could!!!
Professor Jones' online course was very accessible, he had clear expectations and responded to emails quickly. I would recommend taking one of his online courses!
I have enjoyed all the classes I have had with Prof Jones, his classes are very informative and a very manageable amount of work. Would recommend him for future CJA Students!
I absolutely loved taking CJA 110-01 with Professor Jones. He has very clear assignment guidelines, responds promptly to emails, and is a brilliant lecturer who takes the time to answer and address any and all questions from the class.
clear instructions, prompt to respond, very manageable amount of work
Great energy. The class is set up with lectures and in-person practice. It's not as scary as it may seem, and you'll get great feedback.
I am a first-year college student. I'm going to college for my bachelor's in criminal justice, Jason Jones has been my favorite teacher so far. I've signed up for a class from him every term. He also works for the Portland Police Department, I feel that made him more credible in my opinion. He also is very helpful and fast in anwsering emails.
has a requirement of words for discussion posts, typically 300 or more words are needed. A weekly discussion post has 3 parts and the first part is due on Thursdays @11:59pm. However, in Moodle it says its due Saturdays for the whole assignment, so be mindful of your days and remember that.
good class, this instructor loves his career.
Took crisis intervention it was a very fun and informative class! There are weekly discussion posts. He did a great job acting out scenarios and getting everyone involved. Attendance was graded but overall I would 100% recommend taking crisis intervention with him.
Professor Jones did a really good job teaching this class and told lots of personal stories that were both interesting and relevant.
Professor Jones is by far one of my favorite CJA professors at CCC. He is an excellent lecturer, sets clear assignment guidelines, and is always willing to help a student with any questions or concerns they may have. I absolutely recommend taking one of Professor Jones' courses!
Very stern about the syllabus but easy to work with and wants you to succeed.
I have really enjoyed the class. There was clear communication throughout. I had surgery before the final week of the term, and it was nice to not have the pressure of all the assignments and final at once, as I could work on them as I recovered. Which I am still doing.
This professor requires a lot of research for assignments
Prof. Jones is truly an inspiring professional! He works currently in law enforcement and is very knowledgeable in Crisis Intervention. I would take another course taught by Prof. Jones! Don't be like me! Finish journals on time and do not use the "no penalty" turn it in on Sunday offer! So generous, but not good for busy lives or procrastination!
The video lectures were a dull and didn't add anything extra to the reading material, they basically just summarized the chapter with a few bullet points. For quizzes we usually had 3 tries, but I never knew what questions I got wrong so the retries were pointless to me unless I reread the entire chapter again, which wasn't possible.
He always had very clear intrsuctions in moodle that outlines everything you needed to do in a timely manner. He also gave verbal instructions and had tons of visuals in his online lessons. Clearly spent plenty of time making sure the course was as easy to follow as possible in order for the student to learn.
I think he's a great guy really caring and was able to work around some problems I had with my assignments.
Jason Jones is very passionate about ethical policework. He is steadfast in his research & always advocates for raising standards. He genuinely cares about the wellbeing of everyone & is truly one of the good police officers; I'm thankful that he is teaching people that will be entering this field to ensure a better future.
Professor Jason Jones has clear instructions and expectations for students. He is a great professor.
good instructor. knowledgable and enthusiastic. tests and quizzes on the difficult side.
Great professor and made the material easy to understand while adding personal stories which is always entertaining!
Very clear instructions and good feedback on bigger projects!
Lectures were well thought out. Great energy in the class and open for conversations.
Professor Jones is by far the most amazing professor I have taken courses from. He is well-respected, insightful and dedicated to teaching his students. Beyond being an amazing professor, he is a life-long-learner, and is dedicated to devouring as much knowledge about criminal justice as possible. I would absolutely recommend his courses!
Jason Jones shows true knowledge with the material he is teaching in class. He knows what he is talking about and is always prepared. Because of his police job he has a lot of first and experience that is very interesting to hear and learn from.
Professor Jones' teaching style and ability to convey the material clearly is nothing short of amazing. With his knowledge and lived experiences within law enforcement and his openness to hear and explore new/ differing ideas is priceless.
He's very relaxed and laid back. Don't take this for granted though because doing the assignments is important and your grade will drop if you don't do the assignments. He's very kind and respectful of his student's wants and needs :)
I have many things to say about him, but if anyone has the chance to have him then I would highly recommend taking his criminal justice and corrections classes to learn more about law enforcement in his view of things and how things happen. He uses many things from the book. However, many things are from his own knowledge and personal experience.
I've taken Jason Jones every term at CCC and he is amazing! If you want to do anything in criminal justice this is the class to take. He's very nice and pushes you to do good for yourself in the class!
I have learned the most from this Instructor every course and term, I appreciate his lectures and look forward to learning more from him
I love the way Jason Jones teaches, its up to date with articles online and interesting interviews instead of just reading in a text book all day. love the class and will be taking ore of his classes
Great teacher. uses a modern approach with articles and interesting interviews and podcasts to listen to over just reading text book
Jason Jones and his commitment to fostering understanding, engagement, and diversity of thought creates an enriching learning environment that leaves a lasting impact on students. very admirable i look forward to more classes with him in the future.
He is very knowledgeable and cares about his students. He has great lectures that are not only entertaining and funny but you are able to learn a lot.
Raw information. Anything you want to learn from the nitty gritty to detailed information, the professor is willing to share.
Mr. Jones has a lot of experience and knowledge in criminal justice
He's a great professor! You have to be okay with potential missed classes on his end because he does have another job but he makes sure to compensate for it. Good class; would take it again.
I would recommend taking his classes, he is very knowledgeable on the subjects that are covered. He works in law enforcement and has some interesting stories. He encourages students to share their opinion, especially if it is different than his.
Learning about different interview methods and interrogation was interesting, and it was fun to practice with other students. Jason Jones has had a lot of experience with interviews and interrogations, and it was interesting to hear his stories.
If you are interested into perusing a field in criminal justice, this class if definitely worth it!
I think it might have been better if there had been fewer writing assignments, but more opportunities to prove learning through hands-on demonstrations (though there were at least some). More opportunities to actually practice what we were learning, less worrying about citations (part of this is that I wasn't yet comfortable with college writing).
Professor Jones brings real-world law enforcement insights to his lectures. The class is engaging, with a mix of textbook content and the professor's personal experiences. Unstuckstudy AI and other study tools were helpful for mastering the material.
Jason was very clear with his assignments. The grading was very consistent, he was also very understanding. Assignments were due at the same time every week, nothing to catch us off guard.
Is super inspirational and has an awesome work ethic
Awesome teacher!
Jason Jones will make your time in class worth it. He uses a lot of his own experiences to enhance his lessons which is always helpful. He also provides some extra credit at the end of the term. Overall, a great teacher and I would recommend any of his classes:)
I have taken many classes with Jason Jones. He always does a great job in outlining expectations and how the course will work. He has great lectures and does a good job to keep them entertaining. You can tell he cares a lot about what he teaches and is always ready to help you if you have any questions or issues. Also the classes are pretty easy.
Professor Jones PhD, is a phenomenal teacher who is very passionate about the courses he teaches and it shows. I have no idea how he has the time in a day to do what he does wearing many of hats but I look up to him and it is awesome seeing someone do what they love to do!
If you participate and do your work, you'll get the credit. With Professor Jones, I would recommend going to the class, asking questions and being willing to work. He has a lot of great prior knowledge that can be valuable and is worth the time.
Great discussions with real experience to provide. Jones was a top notch, respectable man and professor.
He is a great professor because he cares about his students enough to assign meaningful and challenging work. With a little effort, the work, although demanding, is not as difficult as it might seem.
He is very passionate about what he talks about. The book is required, but if you cannot get it he also posts the summaries of the chapters that are very helpful.
Professor Jones was my favorite professor this term! His expectations were clear, and the course work was engaging. I took this as an online class, and I loved how he structured the assignments and quizzes. I highly recommend him as a professor! He is very knowledgeable on the topics within this course, and he delivers information clearly.
Easy to follow expectations. Everything is laid out easily each week. This is the third course I have taken from Professor Jones.
Very well put together course. Make sure you read the material thoroughly in order to be successful for the weekly quizzes, I wasn't able to get very good scores until the last half of the course for quizzes because I didn't take reading the material seriously. Discussion forums are very in depth and give you opportunities to showcase learning!
As long as you keep up, and do all the work it is a very easy class. He is very nice, and helpful.
Jason Jones was a great professor as his experience in criminal justice made him very knowledgeable. His lectures were very informative and his forums reflected the lectures. I would definitely recommend taking his course!
Jason is a great teacher who really cares for his class and students. The one really big assignment you have is explained to you in week one and you have 6 weeks to get the first part done. The rest is smooth sailing and he is a fair grader. 10/10 would recommend!
This professor does a great job at explaining directions and what is expected to receive a good grade. There is a lot of work with the lectures. The lecture slides are crucial to read in order to complete the quizzes.
This professor is straight to the point and ready to help when needed. All of the class assignments were easy to follow with clear instructions. The only ‘difficult' portion of this course was the Teaching Assignment, but you are given plenty of time to prepare! As long as you stay on top of forums, you'll pass this class with no issues.
Jason Jones is knowledgeable and has worked in the field.
He is a nice and friendly guy. There is not a video example of what the teaching project should've looked like though. The instructions were a little broad. Other than that, he responds quickly to emails and tries to help solve any issues that arise.
I really enjoyed this class. Dr. Jones had great slide show presentations where he narrated them. I would take this class again.
Dr. Jason Jones has been one of the best professors I've had at CCC. I've had several courses with him both online and in person and both have been great experiences. I have developed admiration for his work. There is a lot of reading involved but it's material that is super interesting to learn and his lectures are great as well!
What you put into this course, is what you will get out of it. The lectures and videos are engaging, inspiring, and straightforward and easy to follow. I would highly recommend this course if you wanted to learn more about the criminology and criminal justice field. It really helped impassion me to further my studies in this regard!
Dr. Jason Jones is an excellent professor that does a great job using his real world experience to bring validity and value to his teachings. He knows the topic he is instructing in very well. The course is designed to make you challenge your traditional viewpoints and expand your knowledge, understanding and way of thinking.
He used PowerPoint, video lectures, articles, and essay to share weekly class material. Assignments were usually to write on a specific topic or theme in a discussion board.
the class was very well presented
A very professional and educated professor.
He did a great job and Is very nice and cares about his class and also made the class very easy to go through and understand so that we could really get a grasp.
Jason Jones is a great instructor, clear grading, and very organized.
Mr. Jones dedication to lesson preparation truly shines through in his teaching and commitment to his career, reflecting the profound impact he has does and will make within the criminal justice system! And for our city.
Jones has been a great instructor. This is my second, going on third course with him and I have enjoyed each one so far. Every course, he provides so many resources and information that can clear any question you have.
Assigns homework relevant to the topic that help you to understand the material.
Provides good material for each week. Forum questions relate well to the topic from that week. The weekly assignments stay mostly the same throughout the term, which, depending on your preference, can be good or bad. Jason Jones is a very understanding and caring instructor.
I've taken a few classes with Dr. Jones, and he's great. His classes are incredibly easy to navigate, and while there is a good amount of reading necessary, he is always there to help synthesize points with effective lectures. If you're reading this, thanks, Dr. Jones!
Lots of discussions with classmates.
