You rock Beatty !
He's really funny and his class really enjoyable. If you don't study for the quizzes, you won't pass.
Dr. Beatty is a great educator and is very helpful and gives good advice about situations. He wants to see his students try hard and be the best they can be and is always there for help if you need it, you just have to ask. I have really enjoyed him as a new teacher and look forward to having him in the future.
Most open professor there is! Speaks his mind and is very blunt with things, but he is an excellent professor that tried to help his students
Great teacher with lots of experience in the field he teaches. Easily accessible and offers plenty of outside help.
He really cares if you understand the chapters and gives you ways to get your grade higher if you choose to. Very understanding and respected.
Dr. Beatty is probably my favorite professor. His lectures are far from boring and he always has a story to tell that is enjoyable and goes along with what you are learning. I actually look forward to Criminology and wish it was more than two days a week.
Really love having him as a professor! Super easy going and easy to get along with as long as you do study and know what's going on in class. One of my favorite professors here.
All you have to do is read and take notes, and you'll do just fine. Love him as a professor, very funny and cool. Really easy to get along with
He is really respected and works with students
Dr. Beatty is a great teacher!
His class relies heavily on following along in class and doing well on tests. He is really willing to work with you though if you start to fall behind.
Great Teacher
My professor cared about everyone being successful in his class. He does anything in his power to help the students with their work so they can earn a high grade in his class.
Dr. Beatty is a really amazing and caring professor. He is willing to help you no matter what it is. He offers many and numerous opportunities for you to, not only advance in your current class, but also to help you with classes in the future and for opportunities that you might need later in school. He is really blunt and well respected in class.
Good teach, flexible with students, and teaches from good experience in the field.
My favorite professor. Always relates his life experiences to what we're learning. Makes class interesting and fun to learn in. Never a dull moment.
Such a great professor and is always thinking about the students needs first. Makes class fun and relates his professional career experiences to the information being learned.
Great speaker and gives a lot of experience.
Dr. Beatty is cool
great professor, must pay attention in class to succeed fav quote from Beatty- "it didn't matter if i graduated last to get my doctorate degree because i still got it", "but i didn't graduate last"
Keeps class interesting. Lectures are relevant to the tests. Willingness to help students be successful. Makes himself available to help outside class. Overall great professor. I have no real criticisms about him or his class.
You're only graded on a discussion post and quiz for each chapter, and an essay on the topic of your choosing. Dr. Beatty is willing to work with you if grade is not where you would like it to be. He really wants his students to succeed. I highly recommend taking courses with him.
Dr. Beatty makes class fun and bearable because he's hilarious. Some of the information can be boring, so this really helps. Since he was a former cop, he has stories that help you learn about Criminal Justice firsthand.
Great professor. Hilarious and knows how to teach a lecture without making me fall asleep. He is always willing to help so there is no reason to be failing the class.
Dr. Beatty is very helpful and willing to work with students. Very straight to the point and honest about things- entertaining in class and loves his students! I love his classes
He talks about his background and incorporates it into his lectures and chapters that we go over. Class is always interesting with him, and I look forward to it!
His lectures are straight forward and follow the Powerpoints he makes- pay attention, study the slides, and read your book and you'll do just fine. Very fun in the classroom and easy to get in touch with.
Dr. Beatty is one of my favorite professors here at Newberry College. He is real open and always willing to help. He is really blunt and is always available for help.

Excellent teacher! Highly recommend! Will work with you and help you get the grade you are striving for.
As long as you don't procrastinate with the final paper, and keeping up with discussion posts - it's hard not to pass.
Very good with lectures. Have a lot of fun during class. Good discussions
He's a great professor. I'm majoring in Criminal Justice, so it is easy for me to like the class, but he is still a great professor. If you don't get a high grade in any of his classes, then you must not be doing anything on your part as the student. Listen/take notes during his lectures, study for the tests and write the one paper & you pass.
He's cool
The professor showed and demonstrate the criminal justice system to the class. He did it though visual most of the time. We had guest speakers and different events go on to help the class best understand the topic we needed to learn.
Good guy, dedicated to his profession and offers a lot of knowledge.
Good guy, dedicated to his profession, drives a caddy.

Dr. Beatty is a very approachable person. He is easily available through phone, email and office appointments. I am sadly transferring, but if I wasn't, I would definitely take more of his classes.
hilarious and very clear with what he wants for assignments etc. You want to go to his class because he makes the content very enjoyable and is very experienced in the field which helps a lot when he gives examples of real life cases etc
He's a great teacher to have. He teaches the class, but keeps it interesting and entertaining. He's enthusiastic about the subject that he is teaching. He is very clear as to what he expects from students. If you do the work that is assigned, you will pass his class. I enjoyed having him as one of my professors in my last semester.
Dr. Beatty brings a positive approach to learning about the curriculum, making it very easy for the students to understand and comprehend what is being taught. He is very accessible outside of class and always willing to work with the students
Great class, if you pay attention you will pass. Also don't wait till the last week for the paper. Bad idea

this teacher is amazing he is always there to help and is a great teacher also he is a friend and teacher to all of his students
Dr. Patrick Beatty is a well-rounded, well-respected criminal justice professor. Previously working with the state of New Jersey police department, he brings great expertise and experience to share with his students. He is caring and will do all that he can to ensure every student is learning and gains all of the knowledge needed to excel in life.
Dr. Beatty is an excellent professor at Newberry College. He cares about students success and will whatever it takes to help a student succeed.

He is definitely one of those professors that cares about his students and wants them to succeed! He is a great professor and extremely accommodating!
Dr. Beatty is very easy to get a hold of when necessary and a very understanding professor. He's also very knowledgeable in the subject. This was easily the best online course that I've been apart of.
Amazing Professor! Always ready to help students whether for a letter of recommendation, extra time on lectures, or finding great internship opportunities. Highly recommend taking his courses!
Provides all the information you need in order to study for the test or quiz. After you have taken the quiz he helps by going over the quiz/test and the answers.
great learning experience in the class.
Loved the class trips
I thought that I wasnt going to have much fun when I took this class and it turn out I was wrong. We did talk about serious subjects such as rape. However I still found a way to enjoy the class.
THE BEST PROFESSOR AT NEWBERRY COLLEGE HANDS DOWN !
Dr. Beatty teaches in a way that relates to the students. There is never a dull moment in his classes. Students actually want to go to class with him. Hes also very knowledgeable about whatever hes talking about. Best teacher Ive ever had!
Dr. Beatty is very direct and to the point. It's clear what is expected of you from the start, and as long as you do that - you're guaranteed good marks. Very flexible with course requirements and understanding if something comes up. Would definitely recommend for a good laugh, some learning, and an all round good time.
Great professor and well organized.
I love Beatty, he's my favorite professor I've ever taken at Newberry and I've been here for like 12 years so super duper senior status
Hes great

Patrick Beatty is one of the, if not, best professors on Newberry College campus and I would highly recommend him to any student for any Criminal Justice class!
Loved this class.
Dr. Beatty is a fun teacher. He is there to help when needed and is interesting to listen too. He makes the criminal justice classes worth going to.

THE BEST PROFESSOR AT NEWBERRY COLLEGE
he is really laid back and easy to get along with. he is easy to get a hold of outside classrooms. I think he is a really good professor and is a valuable asset.
He is a very relax person. He is easy to get a hold to outbid class and is willing to work with you with anything you need.
Awesome teacher. Very enthusiastic about what he teaches. Very willing to help out if you miss something or fail a test - will work with you to help out your grade.

Amazing professor.
Beatty is the best professor at Newberry College. I wish every professor was like him!
Very caring and fun professor, someone you can trust and go talk to his door is always open. He is very helpful and will help you be succesful
If you want to hear about a great professor well listen to me for one second Dr. Beatty is one of the most patient and inspirational professionals Ive ever met, he puts his all into his students he gives every individual the respect that they deserve . Dr. Beatty is the type of person that will pick you when your down and help you continuously.
Dr. Beatty is a professor that pushes his students, but also encourages their success. If a student wants to do great, he makes sure that the tools are there. The material is interesting and thought provoking. His classes have challenged me, but also taught me how to be a more proactive learner. 10/10 recommend. I plan to take a class each semester
Yes, Dr. Beatty's online courses are textbook heavy, but the material is top notch. His selections are fascinating and don't even feel like homework. He uses a mix of powerpoints and readings that contribute to overall understanding. His classes are my favorite that I have ever taken and I encourage everyone to sign up at least once, despite major.
This professor is most real that I have ever studied under. Although he is a professor who teaches the material, he also makes a point to prepare you for the real world. Dr. Beatty makes a point to treat his students with professionalism and as adults. His class room environment is superior. Everyone is treated with respect and all are made welcome
Dr. Beatty is the most helpful professor a student could ask for. He always makes himself available, despite his busy schedule. Whether its a question about homework or real-life application with a current event, he will be there. Our studies are valuable and applicable to real-life, which also makes them more interesting. Caring, hard-working, 5/5
Great professor with an ability to connect with students. Very professional and gives great PowerPoint lectures. I would highly recommend his classes!
This man will work with you and help you with your work if you feel as if you are not ready to take a test or turn in work.
Dr. Beatty is a great teacher, and is willing to help you out with anything you need. He is an outstanding person even though he is a gamecock fan! I really appreciated everything he did for me as a professor.
This guy's a total mess! He gives me the grade I earned and doesn't rub it in my face, he only cares whether or not you have the responsibility to show up, he gives you respect, and also attentive! I mean how the heck do you describe this dude? He will literally tell you anything you ask him, ANYTHING, and not rub it in your face if he disagrees.
Dr. Beatty is very accessible outside of class when you need him, he is always willing to help clarify anything that might seem unclear. He is funny and makes class interesting gaining your attention.
The best teacher to show respect
Dr. Beatty is by far the best professor that I have ever had. Not only is he very understanding, he is also very caring and very passionate about his job. His passion for Law Enforcement is so inspiring and he really does everything that he can to help you succeed. I definitely recommend him as a professor and I will be taking more of his courses!
I Love Professor Beatty!! He's amazing and WILL be your favorite professor!
Awesome person and really reasonable. He will give you a million chances to get whatever grade you want. If you want an A he will give you multiple opportunities to make it happen if you do the work and show up to class. He is also very understanding and all around a good person.
Great Class, I enjoyed his lectures and sense of humor.
Best professor Ive ever had honestly. Had a lot of contacts in different fields of study. Very respected and very knowledgeable. 5/5 stars without a doubt.
The test can be hard sometime with fill in the blanks but overall I believe you can get an A if you do what he ask in class
Put the work in and you'll do fine.
Dr. Beatty, alone, is a wonderful professor. He may sometimes go too fast with the slides on the board when were taking notes but he recommends us to view them on Wolf Den. The course seems too hard for me, so I will be switching my major next semester.
I feel Dr. Beatty was one of the best professors I have ever had the privilege to have taken, he is a teacher who is well rounded with his connection with the students as well as giving information we can find useful even in the future because of his background. He is a challenging professor but is willing to help you stay on top of your work.
Really has been a pleasure to have Dr. Beatty as my professor again. Its nice to be able to relate to a professor and feel comfortable to ask questions. Always give great feedback and is a great educator.
For his night classes its learn a new chapter via powerpoint and discussion, which the discussion is the best damn part, then a test o n the previous weeks' powerpoint. Its easy to forget last weeks information so make sure to download the powerpoint (which he posts after class every week) before taking the test.
Study what he tells you and you will be prepared, and if you dont always look at the clock.
I love this professor he is very funny I would definitely take his class again
You have to take one of his classes such a great professor.
He really cares about you doing well in and out of the classroom. A great professor offers extra credit. He works with you if you are an athlete with scheduling dates to make up something.
Dr. Beatty is one of my favorite Professors at Newberry. He is someone I feel will always be honest with me and give me good feedback.
He is the best. :)
He is willing to work with you anytime day or night. gives take home test and lots of extra credit
class is very simply, every week there is a test. you go online and take it pass. easy A
Dr. Beatty is one of my favorite professors because he is real with you and won't sugar coat anything like what most professors I've had do. He expects his students to turn in their work on time and not lie about it. I enjoy going to his lectures because he gives his experience in the field which makes me want to come to class.
Very good teacher
Dr. Beatty and his well planned out lectures excite me to pursue a career in the criminal justice field. He is well accessible outside of class and is exceptionally helpful when it comes to understanding the work. He makes all lectures relatable and entertaining. His tests are well structured and enjoyable.
Dr. Beatty is one of the most enthusiastic and engaging professors Ive come across. His lectures are worth while and example based which helps students take in the work from the slides and textbook.

Dr. Beatty is by far one of my favorite professors here at Newberry College. His lectures are always fun and informative because of his great sense of humor.

Great professor, easy to work with and willing to help his students. Gives lots of test as well as writing prompts.
Dr. Beatty is one of the best professors Ive personally had he's very understanding and willing to work with you in any situation you may have. He's really respect and people here take his class even if its not their major due to how great he is at his job. If your thinking about taking a criminal justice class take Dr. Beatty.
Understanding teacher that expects a lot out of his students
Dr. Beatty is awesome! He is always excited to teach and does what he can to help his students. His classes are fun and engaging. He understand life happens and is very dependable. He is also very funny.
For this online ethics to criminal justice class, we had to write five 250 word essays every week because of the units. The units were a week long and after you finished the essays, there was a test online after that, that was worth most of the points to your grade. Overall, I enjoyed taking this online class because it didn't take up a lot of time
Professor Dr. Beatty is one of the best professors Ive had at Newberry College. He has a great personality and you can talk to him about anything. His class atmosphere makes you feel at home and comfortable because he is straight forward and cares about his students who do their work. His office is always open to his students.
Overall great and understanding man that will work with you within reason, very challenging in a good way as in wants us to work for it and motivates us.
Dr. Beatty is the goat! He is always willing to work with students to help them get the grade desired. Whether you miss an assignment and need it reopened or need to turn in something because you missed class, he's there for you. I believe Newberry rated him the sexiest professor on campus if I'm not mistaken. Very down to earth, he's a real bro.
One of the best professors I've ever had! Highly recommend taking one of Dr. Beatty's classes if you have the chance. He is extremely helpful, understanding, and his style of teaching is very engaging. Lastly, he will truly get you ready for the real world.
Dr. Beatty is without a doubt the BEST professor at Newberry College. He cares about his students, he is willing to work with you outside of class, and he keeps the classes interesting. 10/10 would recommend

Really good professor.
Enjoyed this class.
Hes not that good looking but very nice and its the inside that counts.
This teacher was the best teacher that any student could have ever asked for
Dr. Beatty is honestly such a good professor. He is very understanding and will help you if you let him know whats going on in your life. He actually cares unlike most professors. I will continue taking his classes!
I really enjoyed this course and the professor I would 10/10 recommend taking his classes.
Great classes
Dr. Beatty is by far one of the best professors that I've ever had. This man will go out his way to help his students whether it be with academics or just personal issues. I genuinely look up to him as a mentor and close friend.
Dr. Beatty is by far the best professor I've had at Newberry!! He really cares about his students and he really cares that they succeed in everything that they do. Not only is he an amazing professor in class, he is also very easy to get in touch with outside of class!! I def recommend him and I will continue taking his classes
Dr. Beatty is a great professor. His teaching style is like no other. He gets his point across and he provides great feedback on all work. Dr. Beatty is GREAT!
Patrick is an AMAZING professor. There is nothing he does not know about Criminal Justice. He is well prepared, gives excellent lectures, and gives great feedback for test and papers. Dr. Beatty is a great role model. I don't think I would enjoy school as much as I do if it wasn't for him.
I had the opportunity to take Dr. Beattys online criminal justice course online, however Dr. Beatty was always able to be reached when needed. He took the time to call me personally to help me with the course. Awesome teacher who truly cares!
Best professor I have ever had. Makes learning and going to class very enjoyable. Wish I could take him for all my classes. Great guy, great professor, great mentor.
Dr Beatty is my favorite professor at Newberry!! not only does he truly care about his students, he is VERY accessible outside of class no matter if you need him for something school related or something as a friend. I will continue to take his classes and I defiantly recommend him!!!
I really enjoyed this class great Professor, I would definitely take him again if possible. I recommend this Professor to everyone. No pop quizzes. He makes the course very interesting and up lifts you. As long as you listen and take notes you will do good exams. Recommend him.
Dr. Beatty is a fantastic professor. He is very accessible outside of class and cares about the topic that he teaches. An extremely cool person who can teach about criminology in an engaging and interesting way. I decided to pursue my minor in criminology because of his class.
Professor Beatty is by far the best professor I have ever taken! He is 100% honest and upfront about what he expects and gives complete respect to his students when respect is reciprocated. Lectures are not just him reading off of a PP. He gives great feedback and if you ask for help, he is more than likely willing. 11/10 recommend !!!
This professor is a very easy, fair grader. However, this type of accounting course is gruesome and if you can learn a lot with monotone, long, boring class, THIS IS FOR YOU. If you have him repeat the page number or answer or explanation of any problem, he'll make you feel dumb in front of the class instead of just answering the question.
