I took this class in January along with CJ058. The textbooks are tough, if you are just coming out of High School, please be prepared to take in a lot of information. Professor Nordin's homework is easy and just have Quizlet ready when taking a test. I passed with 100% on the final! You can do this!

If you need an easy A then take this class. Most of the assignments just ask your opinion on things instead of asking you what you have learned. I don't feel like I learned a lot. Extra credit is available multiple times. Very easy to get 100% grade or higher. Make sure to turn things in early because she deducts points even before the due date.

I have taken Professor Nordin for a majority if not all my criminal justice courses at Solano. Her work is very straightforward, the topics she puts are enjoyable, and she gives great feedback when you ask. I wish I can have her as my professor in future courses and I recommend her to any student who is a criminal justice major.

This class didn't count towards my degree but I took it for the Spring semester. Professor was kind and responsive, she responded quickly and left comments on most assignments. The class is easy to pass if you do the work, and she allows open book for quizzes/tests as well as the final.

LOVED Professor Nordin, this was my FOURTH class (third online class) with this professor. She is really great and cares deeply for CJ. Online, make sure you get you work done by Wednesday or she'll take off points. Tests are open book, no study guides. Highly recommend her even if you're not a CJ major and just taking the class for credit.

Lovely professor to take, classes are so easy. Truly cares about CJ and gives some extra credit. Tests are open book, no study guide. Good at grading assignments and getting back to you. Took her online and in person classes, both were great. Get assignments in before Wednesday! Would highly recommend her.

Absolutely loved taking CJ001 with her!!! Super fun discussions, no long draining papers. The only reason I didn't pass with an A is because I didn't study for exams enough, but other then that 10/10 would do it over and over.

Her class is very easy to take. The textbook is mandatory but I didn't use it at all the whole semester just used google. All tests are online she gives a week to do them and they are open book. The final is in class but it is also open book and can use laptops as well. She herself can be quite rude at times. Attendance is worth part of your grade.

The schedule was consistent every week; discussions, tests, and assignments had clear due dates and was due the same days every week. I am a full-time student and full-time worker, so consistent schedules are always appreciated. Professor Nordin was also really kind, understanding, and helpful when I had a problem with the first exam due to canvas.

Very easy to understand, with assignments and readings each week, and every 3 chapters there is a quiz and you can use your textbook and notes. Very interesting readings and lectures. 1000% recommend!

Professor Nordin's CJ001 class is a great option if you're looking for an easy A. With open-book quizzes and tests, plus extra credit opportunities, it's straightforward to do well. I found unstuck study and the textbook to be really helpful for test prep.

This instructor made the class very easy. As long as you followed the rubric on the assignments you will get an A. Her assignments are easy and there's not a lot of work that she gives out. If you are wanting to actually learn a lot in criminal justice, I would suggest a different instructor. But other than that, she's really easy.

I had her in person. Super sweet and fun lectures. Gives many examples for concept understanding. Watched a lot of videos in the lecture. Quizzes were okay. The final was writing a paragraph per question (only 2). Gave us the final questions beforehand so you can plan out your answer before the actual final!
