Super easy class. Barely attended, got an A. Gives extra credit. Lectures are easy to understand and she posts powerpoints of the notes on BB. Test are multiple choice and T/F with a few short answer here and there. Great teacher, learned alot. Would take her again.
Easy class, extra credit on every test. Finished in 10 minutes and got at least a 90 on every test. Attendance mandatory but sporadically taken.
I love Kellin! She does take attendance throughout the semester, but I didn't mind because the class was so interesting. She told us exactly what would be on the test, and everything came straight from the slides, which we did have to go to class to get. She is one of my favorite instructors ever and I highly recommend her!
Just go to class and read and study! This class is far from hard but it does require effort. The pop quizzes are very easy. And she cuts her evening classes short often because they do run pretty late at night.
Really easy class. You basically get extra credit for going to class from her attendance quizzes. Every exam has extra credit opportunities with it, and if you take advantage of them all it can bring your overall grade up an entire letter. She had some cool guest speakers and such too. There were a couple projects but they were easy as well.
Treadway makes the lectures very interesting and interactive. She gives attendance points. Tests are easy and come from the notes. She also gives plenty of extra credit opportunities, ranging from taking online surveys to going to lectures put on by the CJ department. Overall, great teacher
This class is supposed to be a 100 level class but treadway treats it as if you are studying for the bar exam or something. She does not post notes online so you have to go to class to get anything. Moves through lectures too fast. Tests are not easy.
Mrs. Treadway is very passionate about what she is teaching. Her lectures are interesting and she does show some videos to help us relate better. This was a class of 150 and she was trying something new with group projects so some days were trial and error. However if you have any questions she reachable. You will write article summaries each week.
No matter what you do, take Klutz for CJ100. She is by far the worst professor I've had here and now my GPA will suffer... She should be fired.
Ms. Treadway is a cool professor. She made her CC 201 class fairly interesting. You will have a group project in the end and also have to write weekly summary articles. She takes attendance every single class. Her test are really easy because she gives study guides.
The class is not that hard if you actually attend and study, but she makes it seem more difficult. The main problem I had was that she treats her students like children. In a college class, we should be treated as adults because that's what we are. I felt like I was back in high school where the teacher thinks we don't want to be there, but we do.
This class is extremely easy if you use the study guides and go to the reviews. However, she is an extremely disorganized teacher, who often came up with her examples in lecture on the spot. Then, she would not like the example and change it halfway through, confusing everyone.
For tests she pretty much goes through the class notes and has you highlight everything you need to know. Part of tests are short answer, but she tells you what is on the tests. Gave so much extra credit I have over a 100% in the class.
It's a very easy class. Barely studied outside of class for the tests and aced them all. Prior to each test she reviewed with us or gave us a review on blackboard that had questions that were on the test. In the syllabus it states that the textbook is required though test material was in slides posted on blackboard.
She is really nice and helpful. She posts her lectures before so you can take notes early. She takes attendance almost every class. She gives a lot of extra credit and we review the class before the tests and she gives you the answers to the test.
Kellin Treadway is one of the best professors this University has to offer. In my experience (I've had her 3 times now) she has always been a fair grader. If you show up to class, you will be able to pass. She doesnt post her slides online, but gives plenty of time in class to take notes. Very accessible outside of class as well.
You have to show up to class. She's very tough on anything that could be considered "cheating" so be careful and don't ask anyone for help on anything. However, you basically just have to show up to class, take notes, and then take tests. It feels like high school. On the upside she did give us every friday off. She's a SUPER slow grader though.
The powerpoints are uploaded/updated often and she makes lecture fun. I am a CJ major so I loved the topic and was always interested. Study the powerpoint thoroughly and go to the class before the exam (review session) to get an idea of what exactly will be on the test and extra credit!
gives lots of extra credit. clicker every class and it will affect your grade but if you do EC, go to a good bit of class, and study for the tests you'll be fine even if you miss a good many classes. gives study guides, everything is on blackboard. worth it
Instructor Treadway wasn't bad, just do your work and you should do fine. She gives a ridiculous amount of extra credit options which was amazing.
I was excited to take this course because I thought it would be interesting. However, we spent the entire first semester reviewing the basics of APA format. She doesnt take attendance but gives random assignments that you cannot make up if you miss the class. She grades rough drafts and the final papers extremely hard. Would not recommend!!
Amazing class! Tests are difficult but if you go to class and take notes you'll be fine.
Professor Treadway was one of the worst writing teachers I've ever had she canceled class and would not respond to emails before paper were due. She is a very hard grader and will take off a lot of points for small mistakes even if you make them once. She is not accessible outside class and cancels office hours a lot. I would NOT TAKE.
Mrs. Treadway was kind of all over the place. There were inconsistencies in what qualified as the correct answer, across seemingly every question on each test. Every test review ended with half the class asking her why they didn't recieve credit for answers she said were acceptable. Took weeks to get grades back. Doesn't post slides.
I learned so much in this class, you just have to study your notes thoroughly. Write down her slides word for word and go to the test review days (Extra Credit). You have plenty of time to take all the notes. Theres a lot of material, but I thought this class was worth it. She wants everyone to understand and actually retain!
Kellin is a okay professor. She's a very hard grader when it comes to our papers. She's inconsistent when it comes to grading papers. When we do workshops for papers the students only give each other feedback on our paper as if we know what she wants on the paper. She grades a copy of your rough draft for the paper and doesn't give you feedback.
Professor Treadway & her TA graded extremely harshly on the papers. I specifically asked how I could improve certain areas of my paper and both could not give any explanations or suggestions. Taking this class was a huge waste of my time. I failed one of the two papers and still ended the semester with an A+ because she gives so much extra credit.
If you're planning on taking CJ 100, try to take Klutz, but Treadway is a good option as well. As long as you go to class and take notes, you should do fine on the tests. She tells you to read the book, but doing so is a waste of time, as it gives you much more information than you need to know for the tests.
Class was really easy just wish there were more graded items besides exams.
under no circumstances should you take this professor unless you want to get graded harder on papers than a graduate level English class
For an intro level class she made it very hard for me to want to stay in this major. Made simple concepts difficult and only grades were 4 exams with little extra credit throughout the semester.
Please save yourself the nightmare of dealing with Kellin Treadway! Very inconsistent exams which she is terrible at grading. Will make your class 10x more difficult than any other professor. She trys to make the class seem better with all of the extra credit but really all of it only totals to about 30/1000 points. Absolutely AVOID Treadway!
A lot of people complain about her harsh grading and disorganization. But the fact is that the amount of extra credit she gives is almost comical, there is no reason why someone shouldn't do well in one of her classes. She often gives you extra credit for something as simple as showing up to class. not hard.
a lot of people did not like her but mainly because they did not try and expected to have everything handed to them. the lectures were great and you do learn a lot. her tests require you to actually study the material and learn it. not just memorize. take her if you want to actually learn and actually remember it
If you take good notes that expand on what the PowerPoints say, you'll do good and you won't need the textbook (except for when class is cancelled). She did allow us to drop one test grade, which included the final. So, if you want to skip this final and prioritize others, that was a very nice perk.
Kellin is a good teacher she just sometimes makes things harder than they need to be. Biggest thing is she refuses to post her lecture slides to blackboard so you only come to class to literally takes notes on her slides. Otherwise you would never need to come to class. Tests are straight forward just make sure you take good notes.
Do not take any of her classes if you do not have to. She is absolutely no help. She's very lazy and will simply tell you "check the syllabus" when the information you need is nowhere to be found. Easy class. Lazy, unmotivated, and simply miserable professor. Take it only if you have to.
Dropped the class after week 1, she told us we should expect to not do well on the first essay as we wouldn't know what to expect yet. There are muchhhhh better professors for this class and I should have listened to Rate My Professor!
This may be a different opinion than others, but ive taken two of her classes and loved her both times. Prof. Treadway does tend to grade harder than other professors, and have a few more rules, but I feel like I learn so much!! Shes become one of my favorite professors at UA!! Plus shes so kind and really cares about her students! Take her!!
EASILY one of the worst professors I've had yet. Her A/V class was one of the most unorganized platforms ever. She was not helpful and we only had 2-3 lectures with information the entire semester. She was always cancelling (which usually isn't a problem for me), but she never taught us anything!! self instruction the whole semester. AVOID!!!!!
I have never met a professor as unorganized as this woman. She overcomplicates EVERYTHING! Had her for an A/V class due to COVID and we met a total of 5 times the entire semester. All the work is busy work. I have learned NOTHING! I not only wasted my time but my money. Take this class with someone else if you can. DO NOT RECOMMEND!
Overall, She isn't terrible. The main thing that frustrated me about her class is how unorganized she is. The way she grades papers is very confusing and she doesn't actually teach you the material. So if you like to teach yourself this is the professor for you. Also she cancels class a lot. So if you like not going to class she's perfect.
She gets a lot of hate and I really don't know why. She gives a rubric for everything. If you can follow instructions you'll be more than fine with minimal effort. Very fair professor and I liked the class.
She's a super harsh grader and puts a whole lot of weight on just a couple of papers. She's not very clear about what she's looking for until she's grading it and then she's super specific. Our GroupMe is constantly confused and if you get a poor grade on any one part of a paper, you're in danger of failing the class :/
I cannot stress this enough: Kellin Treadway is a horrible professor. I am the type of person that always gives professors the benefit of the doubt and assume that if someone does not like the professor it is because they are a bad student. That is not the case with Treadway. She is condescending and completely inaccessible outside of class.
I took CJ 100 online. Overall the course was very interesting and there were a lot of extra credit opportunities given. There were a total of 7 quizzes, 3 exams and 1 optional comprehensive final. Professor was ok.
Just don't. It absolutely terrible and unorganized and she does not care. She makes the TA teach our class. Take the class with someone else if you can.
This was by far the most disorganized class I have ever taken in my life. When I signed up for an online class, I was expecting zoom lectures not Discord? Incredibly confusing. Will say all the info she teaches is what is on the test. Mostly packback discussion questions + easy quizzes. Group project blows and is really confusing because it is APA.
Honestly I was shocked to see that she had negative reviews at all, I have loved her class and her teaching style. I would recommend her to anyone and I love the way her classes are formed. Super fun person and such a caring teachier!
this class is so easy, assignments every 3 or so weeks that take a couple hours, and you get multiple tries on quizzes and tests. packback is where I hate this prof. weekly posts to a discussion board, and one due with each assignment. her midterm grading doesn't include drops, and she doesn't explain the class in the beginning, just the syllabus
Awful professor!!! Hard to access outside of class. Uses multiple platforms of communication which gets confusing. I never knew what was going on in this class even though I attended every class meeting . Tests were harder than need be.
THE WORST PROF I HAVE HAD EVERRR!!! Sooooo unorganized. Does not care about her students. Very condescending! Do not expect to get in contact with her outside of class. Can not believe I payed so much money for a class that was done all through stupid Discord.
Treadway was not available ever. She never responded to questions, so we as a group had to figure everything out. There are multiple quizzes and exams with no clear answer.
I took her for an online class over break, it was super fast-paced but very easy. There was one module a week with a module test, three chapters per module with chapter quizzes which you can take multiple times, and 1 response post a week. Everything was open-note and every test question comes from the quizzes. An easy A, would definitely reccomend
Professor Treadway was amazing. She responds quickly to the class discord and takes 1-2 days to respond to emails. She lets you know immediately that she responds quicker to discord. She used Packback for discussions and they are for completion. I made a 101 in this class. Would recommend her to ANYONE! Easy A as long as you submit quality work.
Class is literally always cancelled, we have had one in person class. I feel like we learn absolutely nothing and we have to teach ourselves through the module. She is super hard to reach outside of class and although the quizzes can be taken multiple times, I am not learning anything through them just that I want a passing grade.
Worst professor I've ever encountered at UA. No question. As everyone else has said, she overcomplicates everything and the class is extremely unorganized. Not only that but she is an awful, lazy teacher. I haven't learned anything at all.
So easy online. 3 quizzes and a module exam per module. We also had to do a discussion post and 2 responses on packback once a week, don't skip any!! All the quizzes and tests are open note and you can find answers in the power points and online. It is seriously so easy!! Take it online. No zooms either. Easy A class if you do the easy assignments.
I am not a fan of the class being almost fully done through discord, though it is not a huge problem. I have never had an interaction with Professor Treadway, but on the discord she is very straightforward with directions and assignments, but is also very strict about questions asked of her, which is understandable to a certain extent.
I barely learned anything from it being online. I wish I had a different professor for this class, since I'm interested in criminal justice. I don't like her doing the class fully through Discord. She overcomplicates everything and gives way too many directions. Overall, it's a pretty easy class but it was a waste of my time.
Overall, I wasn't a huge fan of Treadway. It was an easy class, but I did not like that Discord was her primary method of communication. I also thought the PackBack assignments were pointless. If you have the option, definitely take Douglas Klutz for CJ 100 instead. I've heard much better things about him.
The class was not very difficult as it was online, but there is a fair share of reading to do. The teacher was lenient in her grading as our tests would stay open until the day the class ended. (Which allowed her student to retake any tests to receive the grade that they wished). The teacher was accessible/ informal which made her class enjoyable.
AWFUL PROFESSOR! can't get in touch with her in any shape or form. This class was easy, but I feel as if it was a large waste of my time. she over complicates everything and makes it impossible to get in touch with her. don't recommend taking this course! it sucked!
Not a good professor at all. Her class is very unorganized and she is never clear with her instructions or due dates. Her lectures are not very engaging. I feel like I have not learned anything in this class.
Treadway is awesome! She has been so helpful and teaches in a way that we can participate and teach each other things. She is easy to reach, and is always willing to give feedback and help. She's almost like a cool mom/aunt figure. Super laid back and awesome. And she loves memes.
As a senior, Treadway is top 3 worst professors I've had. If you want to learn, hate pointless busy work, and wasting class time- don't take her. She only communicates through GroupMe and didn't show up to class regularly. Her TA would "lead" the class. The most frustrating, pointless class i've taken. Was an easy A but take it with someone else.
grade in this class is dependent on a semester long group project, the midterm or final (takes highest grade) which i got a 102 on, and quizzes that are open all semester with unlimited tries. there's no reason not to get an a+, but didnt feel like i actually learned anything from her. easy class, not a good profr. also blackboard setup is a mess
so this class is supposed to teach you about various criminal theories, and she makes you do a group project where each group is assigned a different theory. basically, you just learn about one theory very in-depth the whole semester because she rarely lectures to teach you about the other groups' theories.
treadway is nice but a horrible professor. she is unorganized and scattered. she changes assignments the week of, takes forever to grade, and does not give thorough feedback. 304 is one semester long lit review and she does not give any tips or guidance. she is so hard to get in touch with, triple books her advising appts and never answers emails.
This has to be the most unorganized professor ever. There is a semester long lit review that she has us do in parts and the way she has us turn in the paper is so dysfunctional. I submitted the paper 4 times and she said it was not received. Does not respond to emails. Does not discuss grades for some reason. Terrible class and terrible professor.
Always cancels class. Had maybe 3 assignments the whole semester(which included final and midterm).
Will fail you if you miss more than 50% of classes. She doesn't like blackboard so she is using Teams for our class, which isn't awful but it's quite annoying to have to go between the two for my other classes. Class is basically a semester long lit review
Dawg if you need to take this class TAKE IT WITH ANYONE AND I DO MEAN ANYONE ELSE. She's got a nice little gig going where she makes you teach a lesson so she doesn't have to make a lesson plan. Throw in the fact that your midterm is just answering questions from the book that she doesn't read, it's a waste of time and money. STEER CLEAR!
TAKE THIS WITH ANYONE AND I DO MEAN ANYONE ELSE. Wildly inconsistent grader who will not clarify why you need to see the writing center. Throw in the fact that your midterm is just answering questions from the book that she doesn't read, it's a waste of time. (yes I also wrote a review on CC 201, I made the mistake of having her for 2 classes)
The midterm assignment was that you needed to write the definitions for the key terms and questions in every chapter all by hand. After we turned in the assignment, we learned that our midterm grade was mostly based on attendance and class participation, not the pages of handwritten notes.
If you have a problem, do not email her or the TA's because they will never respond to you. If you are having a problem, you are on your own. If you miss more than 5 classes, you basically fail the class, which is ironic considering she never shows up, and the midterm/final is an absolutely ridiculous assignment.
Terrible advisor and professor. Never answers your emails and somehow finds a way to blame the students. Her TA's always do all the work for her and she has still at this moment not entered a single grade for any assignments this semester. One of the laziest and possibly worst professor the CJ department has to offer.
No, just no
She cancels class literally all the time, which puts you at risk of failing if you miss more than 5 classes. She doesn't provide feedback in a timely manner at all, so you are left guessing if your paper is going in the right direction. The midterm/final is awful as well, you have to handwrite key terms and answer questions for 13 chapters.
She rarely holds class. Frankly, she never teaches. Students teach themselves through an assignment called "Lead a Lesson". We create a presentation and class activity to teach the class the lesson assigned to the group. She takes forever to grade, attendance is mandatory, and our only grades are Lead a Lesson, midterm, final, and attendance.
The lit review is basically one of the only grades from the whole semester and the way she does it is so confusing. She had me go to the writing center and went over my paper with me to give me failing grade overall. Do not take.
She is a nice person but as a professor, she isn't really good. She just doesn't teach, mostly the class is presenting and she'll pitch in and lecture a little. Easy grade if you come to class EVERYDAY and do the bluebooks. I don't think she's that bad as others are putting. Just go to class and do your work.
Ms. Treadway is by far the worst teacher I've had so far at UA and I'm a junior. She is a tough grader, attendance matters and if you miss 5 or more it's an automatic fail. She's also barely in class and cancels often, so make it make sense miss girl.
