This guy cracks me up. Not only is he extremely funny, he's also someone who teaches well. Grades pretty easily, and doesn't assign much work. Since he's a police officer, he sometimes brings in some of his colleagues to do presentations (dealing with firearms, and being an officer, etc.).

As for his class being an easy A, that is true! Attendance is semi-mandatory. Just be there in class perticipate in class discussions and you should be fine...

He's one of the best professors. He is so nice, amazing, cool, respectful, supportive, helpful, friendly, kind, and caring. He's extremely caring and understanding of his students, and I had him twice for PSC 101 and PSC 201. Take him, you won't regret easy A.

Professor Brown is one of my best professors at John Jay. He's nice, generous, helpful, supportive, caring, funny, understanding, and friendly. He's very caring and understanding to his students. I had him in three classes, and I highly recommend his course. He gives midterm/final reviews and one paper. Easy A. He's the Best!!!!!!!!!

Professor Brown is definitely the best professor at John Jay! If you have the opportunity to take his class, take it! He cares about his students and just wants everyone to succeed. Do not worry about failing or getting a bad grade on midterms/finals... he will make sure you do not fail.

Very funny professor, but it is an very easy class. 1 easy paper. 1 mid term and 1 final exam. Each exam has an essay in it which he lets you do on your own at home before the test. He literally shows you the exam a class before, and lets you take pictures. If you get anything but an A, its on you.

As a senior, I strongly believe that this professor deserves a rating of 5/5. You won't find another professor who teaches as effectively to ensure that students truly understand the material. I have taken both of his classes and would rate them as 10/10. Yes, he can be a bit of a talker, but the class flies by. If you have the chance, TAKE HIM!
