If you love Criminal Justice, you'll do fine. But if its not your major I'd say avoid taking it with her, a bit dull. Quizzes are hard! She loves comparison charts, yet doesn't write all the info on the board that she asks for on the quiz, so you HAVE to pay attention to what she says. Also, barely any material from book, waste of $.

Love her so much. She is very chatty and talks a lot but she tries to engage with students. She follows everything by the syllabus and it is very clear and straightforward. Test are very passable.

Professor Sealock is honestly such a good professor. This is overall such an easy class and an interesting one too but she finds a way to make it more interesting. Her lectures are long but its fine because the subject matter itself is interesting. She wants you to do well. Make sure you watch the videos and the tests themselves are common sense.

Professor Sealock was very accessible outside of class and truly wants to see you succeed. She is very nice and will gladly explain anything you do not understand. I had her for methods and I will say the lectures are pretty boring only because the content is very confusing and hard to understand so not seeing real life examples of things is tough.

This class was very straight forward and Prof Sealock was accessible when need be. You do have to watch the lectures to be able to pass the exams but the lectures are very interesting. Overall its an easy A as long as you do everything on your part to pass.

Took this course over the summer as an elective and it was a very enjoyable class. This professor knows her stuff and she is great at what she does. Course load included an optional extra credit syllabus quiz, optional essay, 5 discussion posts, and 3 exams. Just watch the lecture videos, take good notes, and you'll do well.

She is a great teacher. She gives lectures every class but they are very interesting and informative. She lets you use outside resources like notes and the slides she provides during tests. My class was very big so attendance was not mandatory. Very easy and enjoyable class.

She's the best! Her class is very interesting and she's very well educated on the subject. She shows no bias what so ever, she gives us the content, and allows us to express our opinions. Take this class! Its easy if you do what you're supposed to and she allows extra credit!!!

Excellent professor, lectures can be boring at times depending on the topic but find a way to make it not boring. textbooks are optional, exams open books and open notes, make sure you participate during lectures, classwork and homework are graded not for accuracy but for the attempt you make or effort you put in to answer the question.

Dr. Sealock is an amazing lecturer. I can sit through hours and hours of her lectures and be able to comprehend the Criminal Justice System. She explains things clearly, thoroughly, and has many stories to contribute to the classroom. I would absolutely take her again.

Professor Sealock is an amazing professor. The class is fairly simply as long as you stay on top of all your assignments. Attendance is not mandatory but I recommend attending class as her lectures are important for exams. Exams are long with many questions and an essay is required for all three of them but the answers are usually on the slides.

Professor Sealock was super nice and caring about her students! Attendance is not mandatory but some class participation exercises (once every two weeks-ish) are completed in person. Other than that, the grading is broken into two exams, one final paper, and class participation assignments.

She was a good professor, definitely knew her stuff. She wants the class to participate and add their own opinions on topics. Barley had homework just did a few discussion boards, all exams and finals are online. And make sure to stay on top of on in-class exercises cuz they come up on you.

This is my second time taking Prof. Sealock, and it was very similar to the first; simple, straightforward, and all-around fun. She's incredibly clear about her standards and the work we do, and she provides all the content in an interactive but focused manner. She's a wonderful professor outside of class too, always very available and supportive.

Professor Sealock is very flexible and offers plenty of extra credit opportunities throughout the semester. The textbook is not mandatory, but it can provide additional information and study tools. Exams are open-note, and she provides a study sheet to help with preparation. She also assigns weekly surveys that take just a few minutes to complete.

She is great! Lectures are long and may get boring but will get credit for going with in class participation a couple times during the semester. Exams are online and often have 4 days or more to do them. Super nice and understanding if you have something elsewhere.

She is a good prof. and knowledgeable. She posts her notes online, there were 5 quizzes which were all online, there were a few small assignments which were very easy mostly opinion based, and there is a paper where you need to interview a law enforcement officer. Not a hard class whatsoever and very doable, lectures can be boring but its not bad.

She is very knowledgeable & her class is set up lovely. I took this as a senior for an elective & it was both interesting and low effort. There are 3 online exams and short surveys/discussion boards spread across the semester. Your grade is based on the exams and just completion of these short assignments. Loved her and the class content!

I took the first summer course of this class, super easy 5 discussion boards (at your own pace) and 3 exams that were incredibly easy because all the answers were in her lecture videos. Super nice and well organized professor. (she opened most exams early and gives about a 5 day window to complete them). Highly recommend taking her course

I absolutely loved Dr.Sealock. The class is incredibly easy as long as you take good notes, every exam is open-book and open-note, and there are COUNTLESS opportunities for extra credit. The only bad thing is that her classes are very lecture-heavy and she has a calming voice, so I would find myself dozing off in class often.

Not a CRMJ major so I wasn't too fond of this course. Thought it would be fun to take as a psych major but I found myself not really paying attention. The class is super easy though. I just thought lectures were boring, and many people came in late/skipped class. Others used their devices to play games and watch videos instead of taking notes.
