Miss Furlow is "THE BEST" !!! She is so funny, her lectures are very interesting everyone is participating in her class.The tests are easy because whatever she covers in class everything is on there. She sends students power points - good source to study for test.I WISH SHE HAD MORE CLASSES IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE DEPARTMENT! :) ;)

Nothing like criminal minds-the class is more about how criminology came to be and the theories developed. Content was dry which made the assignments painful to complete. Instead of tests you have to answer 20 questions for every 2 chapters and write a lengthy discussion post, both should be started a week in advance for a good grade. Just don't.

Mrs. Furlow's class is not the easiest class in the world, but you can tell she cares deeply about her students and their success. She is always available if you need help and she is very interactive and engaged with her students. Prepared to do some writing, but it does help you understand the material in depth. Overall great teacher & experience!

Professor Furlow is an amazing teacher. She gives feedback on work and makes the topics interesting. The Twitter discussions helped and I enjoyed the interaction it made it easier to ask questions. Also, be ready to read and write it was nothing difficult because if you do the reading the answers are in the textbook. Overall, would recommend.

A lot of work in a short amount of time, but it's a short class. Mrs. Skelton is supportive and organized, which makes it manageable. One of the better instructors I've had with communication and responding.

You can tell she cares. Tons of helpful optional stuff, really thoughtful feedback, and she actually takes the time to explain comments instead of just leaving a grade.

Professor Skelton is a great communicator and grades works in a great timely matter . She is very helpful and would contact me every week a day before the assignment is due to make sure I did not need any help . She is amazing !!! I recommend.

Very clear, very upbeat, and easy to follow. Wish the class was in person, but her mini podcasts and explanations make the winter class really work
