Oh no doubt, this teacher is the one to teach Criminal Justice! She explains the concepts and shares her experience, when she was in law enforcement. She is also nice and helpful if you get lost in the classroom. Mrs.Oborn is probably the best teacher in the Soc Sci Dept! In case you rookies don't know. Criminal Justice falls into Soc Sci field.

She is a wonderful professor. She was the first class I had in the day and her class was always great, Always told great stories and allowed us to have a good semester. Only complaint.. And it's very small but the documentaries show a subtle bias against police and paint many criminals as good people without really both sides of the story.

She was awesome with her lectures through PowerPoints so the book wasn't necessary most of the time. Her assignments and discussions were interesting. Overall easy class and interesting.

this class is literally only your opinions. she allows you to intake and learn what you want to without forcing you to learn if you dont want to. take her bc regardless her kindness will make you want to learn! dont buy the book, one group project, final is a typed essay that you bring to class.

Professor Oborn is the sweetest lady! She always tells stories that tie in with the material which makes her lectures very entertaining. Shows a lot of interesting documentaries. Minimal hw, no exams or quizzes (except final). Guaranteed A if you do your scavenger hunts and reaction papers, both of which are easy. Shes a real gem!

No tests/quizzes except final! You have to do your scavenger hunts though (four total). I think you should show up to class every day even though you can prob get an A if you don't as much, because you do do small assignments on films you watch sometimes or a few in class assignments for credit. Also, she's a great lecturer so why miss class!

I was nervous to take this class online due to the subject matter, however, it was extremely easy! Every week you read a chapter and at the end of the chapter you take a quiz and write a forum post on what you read. The final was basically a one page paper about what you learned in class. As long as you do the reading and take notes, you're good!

Easily the best professor I have ever taken in my life. I took Administrative Justice 2, 5, 67 and about to take 160 (online) with her. She makes the classes so interesting and is extremely interactive. She always tells stories about her time as a police officer as well. You can't not take her class.

This was by far the easiest online class I have taken. Professor Oborn is the nicest person ever. She genuinely cares about the students, even when she hasn't even met us. The whole class is on pearson, you do have to pay for it. Small readings and a 2/3 questions quizzes and short writings with a 20 question quiz in the end for every chapter.99.5%

Professor Obron is super relaxed and laid back. I took this in fall 19. She is super easy and offers a lot of in class extra credit. Watch lots of videos where you answer like 5 easy questions on them that count as participating. Four scavenger hunts that are 37 questions long and easy, 1 test, 1 final essay.

Here's a more realistic review. Took this class during summer. She claims she has a soft spot for students, that is a lie. There was nothing of the sort. She taught absolutely nothing herself. The information you learn is from google and the book. She decides when to apply her rules when she wants. She will fail you over one single error. Beware.

She claims that she has a "soft spot" for her students, but doesn't have an ounce of sympathy towards them. Will give you 0s on HOMEWORK assignments even if barely a few words are copied. Dropped my grade by two letters on the LAST DAY. Extremely rude & won't reason with you. Never taught lectures, textbook was all we had. Good luck Charlie.

Prof Oborn was very nice. You have to buy the online Pearson book and be heavily involved in the class for weekly assignments. I took the 5 week course so everything was very fast. We did about 3-4 chapter for the week so you have to be involved. if you do the work you'll pass.

Weekly reading and quiz through an online textbook. Reading is long and dry but quizzes are easy. Weekly discussions through Canvas consisting of a paragraph and at least 1 reply to a classmate. Scattered HW assignments that were fairly easy if you reference textbook material. Great class to take if your other classes are assignment heavy.

Professor Osborn is an excellent professor who cares for and encourages her students. The course does require reading, we also watch documentaries in which I learned so much from both. Her work load is reasonable, straight from the book, no trick questions, she communicates well and has her students best interests in mind. Free book as well.

Prof Oborn's class is very well laid out. Don't miss the deadlines and have good time management skills and you're good to go! However, her textbook is 90 bucks, which is really expensive. The book she uses is helpful, however took a lot of memory from my laptop. Buttttt, it's a good class!

I loved Professor Oborn's class I learned so much from her. The work is straightforward and engaging. I took the shortened 8-week class, so weekly it consisted of 2 Pearson chapters a week, 1 or 2 class discussions and 1 or 2 video responses. She doesn't offer extra credit but the work is simple so as long as the work gets done, you should pass.

Just an amazing teacher. Gives amazing feedback on every assignment. She emails you out of nowhere just to tell you that you're doing great. You actually learn which is always nice. Super easy class and she is super supportive. Do the work and you will get an A. Highly recommend this class.
