Dr. Judge is great. She has a lot of experience and makes class interesting and fun. Definitely take her!
can u say reverse discrimination as an extension of affirmative action? very much so in her case. if u wanna do good in her class, u gotta "be down", a female, or a minority. not fair, and forgetful of student's requests/comments.
Shes very easy and nice...when shes there. She is constantly having to go for trial or other related reasons, she must have missed class about 5 or 6 times. I recommend her.
I definately feel that this class has helped me decide that I want to pursue my career in the legal field. The material is clear, concise, to the point, you must read the assignments or you will miss alot. Definately take this class
my final grade was an 88, and she gave me an A. questions on tests can be confusing, she doesnt always word them write, but if u talk to her she'll adjust your grades. tests are easy, mostly multiple choice
she's really nice and has a nice personality, but her instructions are too vague. She doesn't give enough detail, and she grades unfairly
Lectures mostly from notes, very boring. Monotonous tone, asks questions to class but no one ever seemed to get the answer right. Agree with the bias discrimination thing. Very forgetful.
Hard grader. Her lectures are boring and her instructions are not specific enough. Expects ALL to "sound like a lawyer in their writing". Tests are very hard
Lectures from her notes & it seems that she can't answer a question outside of what is in her notes. Not very helpful with questions about her assignments. Not at all approachable. Tests are easy although some are worded poorly.
Very easy class. Dr. Judge is pretty annoying, monotonous voice. Doesn't really have much of a personality. Doesn't know how to phrase questions on exams. Exams are easy but confusing. If you can up with boring lectures, you should get an A.
i'm sorry...but her name is dr. judge...and she teaches law...that's just great...she deserves a pat on the back for that one...
Professor Judge is really cool! Her exams are exactly taken from the notes she goes over in class, so it is not hard to do well in the class. Plus, she gives opportunity for extra credit that really helps raise grades.
She is very helpful. She takes her time to explain things. If you take good notes you should have not problems on tests because they are from notes that she gives. Very understanding.
Dr. Judge is amazingly easy. You will definitely leave that class learning alot about law. Take her you won't regret it. Everything she gives you a test on comes directly form her notes.
Pretty good class. At first I thought it was going to be hard but then it progressively got easier. 4 grades.. paper, two tests, and take home exam. Learned a lot. Take her.
As I'm still taking her class and we've yet to have a test, I don't know much about her grading routine. Very vague. Absolutely no direction from her as to what you're doing. I'm great with computers but feel like an idiot around her because walls have more personality/teaching ability. Terrible.
I'll put it this way- EASY class, BAD professor. I got an A and it was cake. But I learned NOTHING, and I actually wanted to get something from this class. also Dr. Judge is deficient in the personality department.not mean,just dry. if you want an A and don't want to learn, she's perfect.
Dr. Judge is an easy professor. She gives good notes. Test are easy as long as you study your notes. I have learned alot in her class and I plan to take her for another class. Very good Professor. Take this teacher if your interested in law. You will learn alot.
shes a ****, shes a stickler for everything. to much work, expects people to do to much. everything has to be her way and thats it. she wasnt open to answering questions, i earned a C in that class but she failed me because i didnt show up twice
Extremely unclear, not approachable, and has no personality. There's not a lot of work in the class but the way she grades doesn't even make sense to her, save your gpa and don't take her...and also i think she has a perference for nonwhite students, and if u are your grades will show
No Comments
This is one of the worst prof i've had too. I wanted to fill out a evaluation for her but did not give them out. She was always unprepared, couldn't answer questions, incompetent, & she acted like the class was just easy money to her. I'm a senior & graduating & now my GPA sux because her class!
Dr. Judge is boring, annoying, fairly incompetent, and doesn't know a whole lot about anything much less law and computers. BUT the class was cake. The tests were RANDOM and the material came from God knows where, but they were easy. If you can put up with her personality or lack thereof, take her
I took this class because i thought it would be interesting...but she was soooo boring!!! she speaks in monotone which makes the class forever. attendance is mandatory and she grades hard on the tests..tries to trick you! dont take her!!!
This class was an easy A. For the previous students complaining about their GPA, they probably just didn't do the work. I didn't study, went to class, did the work & got an A. BTW the suggestion that she's easier on non whites is not true. She's a decent person but not really good at teaching. The material is so basic anyone should ace this class.
Dr. Judge is a great professor. Took her for 3 week summer session. Class was extremely easy, all you need to pass this class is a little common sense. I got an A.
Class is cake. Judge will bore you to death. Take it for the easy A, but prepare yourself to put up with the somewhat annoying, monotonous Dr.Judge.
Dr. Judge is a really nice person, assignments are not too hard, just do the work and come to every class and you'll do fine.
Come each time to class,listen carefully,and take good notes.The tests weren't very easy,but if you study,you'll do fine.There were tricky questions on the tests.For test#2 she asked us to prepare 5 documents at home.No final exam;)I think she was easy, and with effort you'll get an A:)Always let us go earlier which I loved:))
HAD HER FOR INTRO TO LAW AND CRIMINAL LAW AND PROCEDURE. SHE REALLY ISNT THAT BORING. JUST PRINT OUT OUTLINES ON BLACKBOARD AND SHE GIVES THE DEFINITIONS IN CLASS. TESTS RIGHT OFF THE OUTLINES. THREE TESTS ONE TAKE HOME. AN EASY PAPER AND SHE LETS U OUT EARLY FOR CLASS AND SHE MISSES ALOT SO TAKE HER.
I got an A in her class but I did not find her helpful. She was always doing her own thing.
Judge is competent and provides extra credit and homework. Complete all her homework to receive extra points on the exams.
Judge is competent and provides extra credit and homework. Complete all her homework to receive extra points on the exams.
She is not boring, but she may look unenthusiastic about the class(unsure if she is or not). You will do fine if you follow all the directions and do all the extra credit assignments.
If you take notes and study,you'll do well on the exams,however,you depend on her to grade your paper,and she has her preferences.Reverse racism? I would not recomend her class.She ends it earlier,then you're responsible for the tricky questions later on. Maybe if you are the same race as her you should take the class, then it will be an easy A.
SHE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO TEACHES THIS COURSE, SO YOU'LL HAVE TO TAKE HER, BUT IF YOU COULD FIND A WAY TO AVOID.... NOT HELPFULL AT ALL, ALWAYS DOING HER OWN THING, STUDENTS BOTHER HER.
Doesn't like to help. Lectures for 5 minutes but exams are tricky, cancels classes,u won't have enough time to finish assignments, she just doesn't care.
She is the best. Great teacher I would recommend her.
I work super hard on this class and still got a B+. Reason: Her tests are hard, even if you take good notes, you attend class and you listened carefully you won't be able to get a good grade on her tests. There is no extra credit assignments so even if you work hard on the assignments your grade will score will come down because of the tests.
Just dont take her. Her tests are extremely hard even if you take notes and go to class, no extra credit, and shes pretty boring. I e mailed her a few time for help and her answers were pretty bland. Not much help at all. Just take someone else if you want to pass
This professor is terrible. She does not help at all. She is very very rude!If you ask something, she replies with an attitude as if you were stupid. Her testes are really hard. They are impossible to get a good grade. She is just not a good professor!
Leaves a lot to be desired. Does not really teach from the book, and could be more open to her students opinions.
Dr. Judge is a good instructor.Her exams are hard but she gives out a lot of extra credits. Attendance was not mandatory, so some of the students only showed up 4 times to class which was for the 3 exams and final paper. Now, they are complaining about her level of proficiency.I recommend her. Trust me; I dont say that often for MSU instructors.
Prof. Judge was the worst instructor I've had at MSU. She shows no interest in helping her students learn the required material nor do I think she really wants to be in the classroom to begin with. The extent of her knowledge in law is limited and effects the quality of the course. I would avoid Prof. Judge if at all possible!
I can sum up Prof. Judge in two words: Awful & Unfair. Somehow, she is the ONLY prof. for PALG 339. Outrageous! I am a 3.8 student and am going to be screwed because of this class. EXTREMELY unhelpful and stuck up. Like i said- there's NO other prof. available, so GOOD LUCK!!!!
Prof Judge is a good professor! Yes it is true she does not hold your hand throughout the course, however she allows you to work at your own pace and does not bother you. Do ALL of the assignments and hand them in ON TIME. The exams are very tricky, but if you study you will be fine. Don't buy the book you don't use it!
Terrible teacher. She has no time for anyone. Not helpful whatsoever and doesnt even know the material being taught.
HORRIBLE PROFESSOR. very unclear as to what she wants. she gives assignments each day that are pointless for any type of career use of a computer program. assignments are useless and you make everything up however she is very specific as to what she wants and when you ask for help she is unwilling! you can tell she doesnt want to teach or help at a
law office management is pointless. each assignment requires u to find 2 websites that 'helped' you to do the assignments however she is very specific to the websites and doesnt tell you any information to help. the assignments are easy, tedious, and her powerpoints are already done for her so she doesnt teach at all. WORST TEACHER EVER!
Very unclear. She missed about 4 classes with only a couple hours of notice. Never showed any interest on teaching the class. As for her test they were relatively easy if you read on your own because the students never learned anything from her lessons.
I had her twice for online classes, which are easy as long as you do the work. Posts are required every week that are 3 short paragraphs from 1 question that she asks. Easy, answer is right in chapter assigned. Once in a while requires an opinion discussion board post. No exams.
She is the most uncaring, insensitive professor I have ever met. She is a rude person and does not teach you anything.
Professor Judge is a no nonsense teacher. You go to class, pay attention, and do the work. I've taken 2 classes with her and she is knowledgable and fair. You get out what you put in.
Prof. Judge is the worst professor I have ever had. She teaches from powerpoint slides and half of the material on the exam she never even covered. she is unreasonable and the toughest grader. DO NOT TAKE HER. terrible.
HORRIBLE. BARELY TEACHES ANYTHING AND EXPECTS YOU TO DO ASSIGNMENTS. SHES NOT HELPFUL OR NICE. Unfortunately she's the only teacher that teaches this class
Judge is SO easy. If you get any lower than an A+ you really need to reevaluate yourself. the directions are CLEAREST as CLEAR. literally if you follow the directions and do 400 words in 3 paragraphs with 3 cited quotes, you get full credit. great professor. im def taking her again in fall
Alright I was super scared to this take class with her after looking at all the ratings below. Now, all I can say is, she's the easiest professor you'll ever take which is over-shadowed by her rudeness. Yeah, she's not the friendliest person on earth but she's easy! Just follow the directions and you'll be FINE. She's really NOT that bad!
Professor wasn't really that friendly and did not bring in the real world into the classroom. Class was almost always taught through powerpoint and tests were sometimes confusing. Overall class was easy and the homework was kept to a minimal. Just 5 assignments 400 words each with 3 tests.
She is absolutely terrible. I went against what everyone said and decided to take the class to see for myself. DON'T DO IT. I was in her online class and dropped it after the first two assignments. She is so unclear with what she expects from you and her grading policy is ridiculous. She gave me a 0 and a 1, then didn't answer emails. STAY AWAY!!!!
Judge is the worst professor I've had at MSU. She's rude and completely disrespectful. She's doesn't care for her students and reads word from word off of powerpoints that she didn't even make. Sure the work was easy but I didn't come to college for easy work. She didn't teach me anything the semester I had her. Worst professor ever don't take her
There's 3 exams which she reviews for and a court observation paper. You need the book. Everything is clearly explained in the syllabus and I thought her grading was fair. I didn't think she was rude and I would definitely take her again.
Very tough professor. If you like your grades stay away!! Made me question my major... Then I realized it wasn't me it was the class
I took Judge for an online summer class. Although I found it odd that the assignments were due at 5pm, the work was clear and straight forward. The quizzes were online and gave you an unlimited amount of time. I got a 95 in the class. As long as you buy the book, and use examples in the discussions and essays, you are guaranteed an easy A.
This professor simply does not care for her students. If you ask a question she will not answer it and don't even think about emailing her because she will not get back to you. The quizzes and tests are not bad if you study for them but do not expect an easy grade by any means. If you value a good professor that is helpful in this course, stay away
She seems really rude, apparently I misread something on the syllabus and received a 0 on an assignment with no explanation. She's all or nothing, I wasted time on an essay that was missing three words(i thought it had to be less than 400). Make sure to have her syllabus as your computer background, theres a lot of unnecessary rules.
If you care about your GPA stay away from her classes, as other people mentioned her grading policy is too extreme, if you mess up on anything she automatically takes half points of the assignment and no option for make up assignments. I took her for a Winter class, and I wish I never did.
She really is awful.. do not take her. She is the most unclear individual I have ever dealt with in my life. Literally does nothing to help you and doesnt care if you pass or fail. You also wont learn a thing.. just stay away.
Do not take her online cybercrime class! I took both police civil liability and cybercrime with her and the cybercrime was much more difficult. Every assignment was more difficult and long. Take police civil liability with her though it wasnt nearly as bad.
I don't know why the reviews on this professor are so awful, she actually is not bad at all. She is very clear on what it is she wants and unless you do not follow her instructions very carefully, her classes are always an easy A. I have taken her twice and am taking her again next semester. Do not let the reviews scare you, you'll be fine!
She's alright. The classes are pretty easy, but some assignments are pointless and you never get the full grade. I seriously will never understand what she wants that is "creative, interesting, and captivating" on a slideshow because i've done animations, pictures, you name it i've done it. I can never get a good grade on those slideshows!
DO NOT TAKE! I was on the Deans list, &this summer course I received a C & not an F only bc of how much I hounded her about her unfair grading. For 2 slideshows she said I had great material but lacked "creativity" so I got a 10-20. Did not know this LAW graded so heavily on "creativity" or I would have taken art/tech classes in preparation.
I understand if you do not follow directions you should not pass but in this class you can do both and still end up with a zero. The assignments say the bare minimum and when you do what is asked magically there is something you've missed.
worst professor ever. never makes anything clear about what she wants on the assignment. you can lose up to all the credit if your citations are done incorrectly and she gives no sympathy if you have any issues trying to complete the assignment
I recommend , DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR AT ALL! She is the worse professor. Also, she's bad with getting in contact. She's nonchalant as in she doesn't care what she gives her students. She RUDE! overall, did not take her class. If you see her name in a course, DO NOT TAKER HER IN THAT COURSE EVEN IF IT LOOKS EASY, CHOOSE A DIFFERENT PROFESSOR!
I truly feel sorry for all the freshmen who get put into her class. During my first semester here she is without a doubt the worst professor I had. She rarely teaches and when she does you can't read her handwriting because it is so sloppy and abbreviated. Also, she canceled way too many classes and brought in to many unnecessary guest speakers.
Really bad professor. Every week there was an assignment that was worth 5 points and she would take off for not having "proper grammar or punctuation" which makes getting a 5 almost impossible. Her quizzes good luck. The questions make zero sense and also have poor grammar which is ironic. If possible STAY AWAY, and if you cant I am truly sorry
The worst class ever taken and worse professor
Judge is Ewwwww. She seems nice and all but she knows that MSU can not get rid of her so she doesn't care. Literally gave me minus 10 points because I summited an answer that was 120 word and she only wanted 100 are you kidding me NOPE beware!! I was told never take her but she was the only teacher for the class.
I took this as an online course. Please do not let the bad reviews scare you. I honestly have no idea why she would have bad reviews. The course and assignments were super easy and interesting. 3 easy quizzes, and a few short assignments. Just simply follow the guidelines and directions and its an easy A. She also responds quick to emails.
Professor Judge is clear & straight to the point. She is big on following directions. Many people don't know how to follow directions & thats why they receive poor grades. If you're looking for a free A & are lazy, don't take her. If you know how to follow directions & are not lazy, you will be fine.
She only held class 3 times the whole semester. She grades from her syllabus, so follow to a T. She is terrible to get a hold of and will take 5 days to get back to you. She wont tell you when class is cancelled so you will show up with everyone very confused. Uses automated responses to critic your assignments, no feedback. no midterm or final
Do you like getting your emails ignored and your essays graded ruthlessly? Then this is the teacher for you. Avoid this teacher.
NO HOMEWORK, MIDTERMS OR FINAL!!!
Honestly Professor Judge is nice. She gives lots of discussion post but are easy if you have the textbook. There are a few papers/projects that are due but are common sense and she gives a clear understanding on what info is expected. If you show up to class your fine and will pass. The quizzes dont correspond with the lesson but aren’t a big %.
Prof. Judge is a great teacher. She seems tough but she really just wants you to follow the directions of the assignment and submit everything on time. Submitting on time and you will be fine. She is not hard, she does respond to emails and overall she is good.
Doesn't actually teach, or read what she assigns. Incredibly insensitive. Just counts how many citations you use and how you format them: 1...2...3...4...5...Very easy class, if you follow the syllabus to a T. Be a robot, not a person, or a student who actually wants to learn anything.
Just started the semester and this is a level 100 course. DO NOT TAKE HER even if your life depends on it! Had 1 assignment so far and she's such harsh grader for no reason. It's crazy. This professor is a BIG NO!
Not a good professor at all, doesn't teach AT ALL, and is a super tough grader. Doesn't specify where to find anything in the book and only cares about citations.
Horrible online class, doesn't teach at all or assign any lectures. Will fail you on assignments for little things and doesn't specify.
There is very few assignments for the class and it makes it harder to get a good grade if you do not do well on one assignment, you have to follow the syllabus to a TEE. The median for a project at the beginning of the semester was 10/20. She likes her assignments a certain way, which can be frustrating.
Hands down worst Proffesor I've had after being at this university for four years.She creates confusing assignments and grades them extremely harshly even if the assignment is extremely well done she'll give a bad grade.
I had gone ahead and taken this professor in the fall and honestly she was is THE worst person BY FAR I had to take for a required core class. She didn't care or help me at all when I tried to reach out and would always dock me for the citations even though she taught me exactly how to do it properly and still she has ruined my GPA and everything.
This professor will deduct points from your assignments if you don't read exactly what she wants. She holds class once a month in person and 2 times a month via zoom. Make sure she CLARIFIES what she is asking as she will hold you accountable for her own mistake. Do not take
I audibly groaned when I accidentally took this class without looking at the professor. Absolutely horrible, has no sympathy. The mean for our FIRST project was a 2.4/10... TWO POINT FOUR. This professor wants everything to be followed to a TEE. If you're taking her, good luck.
