She is so easy, all you have to do is go to class. She gives extra credit and lets you use your book on test or gives take home test
Wasn't difficult at all. It was interesting, I enjoyed it. I took it over summer and it was still an easy A.
Very nice and easy to understand. She creates a wonderful online learning environment.
Everyone says she was easy. It't just not hard to do the work. She was great. I learned a lot and I recommend her to anyone.
Great teacher, really makes the class fun, and it's pretty easy.
Very helpful. Not easy, but not hard if you pay attention and do your work. Willing to help you if you ask for it. Do your work and study. Turn in assignments and you will be fine. Good teacher.

She's mediocre, but says a lot of bad words and talks about drugs and crime. It's like cops without all that annoying *beeping*
no good
Very nice and easy. She gives a lot of easy extra credit assignments. Shows a lot of movies and is very helpfull.
Online course was very self-paced. She offered help if you contacted her. It was a very basic course, most of the info was basic and already known.
I LOVED her class, I'm not really sure what some of these people are saying! I had her for both CJ1 and 51! if I could I would take her for all my CJ classes! VERY helpful, willing to help as much as she can, tests are EASY!!! and there really are only 2 a sem. not that much HW at most it is like 3-4 a sem. take notes and get an A
Everytime I take a Criminal Justice class - I take S. Nordin's classes. Her blunt realism makes the class interesting. Doesnt grade too hard, just do the work. Total thumbs up.
Mrs. Nordin is one of the best teachers I've had. Class is always interesting. We have a lot of interactive things to do. Her tests aren't easy, but if you study, you'll do fine. You can easily get extra credit. I've had her for the past two semesters and I plan on taking more of her classes. I highly recommend her.
Professor Nordin is a great professor!!! I took her CRIM 1 class ONLINE. She does require threaded discussions be completed by THURS (wk starts Sunday) to receive FULL credit. Great Class!!
Best teacher Iv'e had. Made the online class easy for me. Wish I could take her for all my classes
Took her online class. Great class.. neat web sites. I took the short 8 wk course- a test about every other week and a written final. At least 2 assignments per week, but they weren't very hard at all. She really wants you to enjoy the class and LEARN! Great! THANKS PROF NORDIN!
very easy online course
Great teacher, very very fair, she accepts late work with a minor point deduction! Very outgoing and funny as well. A+++++
Wonderful teacher. Her online class is great. I highly recommend it.
I've taken both her criminal justice 1 and 2 classes online. Its very easy to get a good grade. Also, there is not too much work!
I took both her criminal justice 1 and 2 classes online. It was very easy and not much work!
I've taken CJ 1, 2, 51, 56 and 58 with her, so I'm very familiar with her classes. Online is very easy, though in class isn't too hard either. Very interesting no matter which version you take and will help outside of class with references, etc.
I've had her for many classes. She is very FAIR and there is no reason for her students to not earn all A's. She is an excellent teacher and very interesting.
This had to be one of the best instrictors I have ever had. Very clear on assignments and very organized. Do the work and you will get an A!
she has got to be the BEST teacher i have ever had. i LOOOOVE her ! she's entertaining, FAIR grader, her tests arent hard at all, and its impossible for anyone to get lower than an A. i plan to take other CJ classes with her. she's simply AMAZING !
Prof. Nordin is SO cool. Absolutely hilarious! Very easy class. Tests are simple. She offers extra credit, but I cant see how you would need it unless your that dumb. Overall, a very easy and interesting look into Criminal Justice! A MUST take!!!
Took the course online. It was easy. Very interesting course. Need to take Mrs. Nordin's classes live. You don't get her humor that you would if you took the class on campus. If you fail any of her courses, quit school.....you don't belong here.
Mrs. Nordin is an AMAZING TEACHER!! Don't take CJ unless you can take it with her. She is hilarious, easy, and keeps the class interesting at all times. The tests are simple and straight forward and there never is homework. There would have to be something really wrong with you if you didn't pass her class.
Mrs. Nordin is amazing! She's hilarious and is great at her job. She is actually the reason why I changed my major! I love her!
Easy, easy A. You could learn a lot or nothing depending on the work you put in. Interesting class, learneda decent amount of information. Tests straight from the book, and that is the only time you'll even open it. She grades and responds back quickly too. I took it online, you should too.
This class was very easy, easy A to get that GPA up.
She loves her job and she let's everyone know. I took her for CJ01 and for CJ51 and I've gotten A's for both classes. Her class is always fun and she has a great sense of humor!
Teacher is really nice and helpful. It's a really easy A, with little to no work at times. Take any class with Professor Nordin, and you'll get an A.
Mrs Nordin is a very good teacher. Come to class and do the work pass with an A
Super easy class! Nordin is funny and real. She makes sure you know everything that we are learning about. Hardly any homework and all of the tests were take home! You hve to be there and listen to get an A, not hard at all!
Professor Nordin is the best at SCC. I highly recommend taking all her CJ classes as I have done. She has the best online courses that help you succeed.
Easy A, take her. If you are looking for the book for CJ 1, please email me at [email protected]. It is brand new and not even touched. No markings or anything. Thanks!
Took class online. VERY EASY class. If you get lower than an A... you have some problems.
Easy A, great sense of humor. Fun activities in class. Show up, have fun, & you pass with an A. Very little homework, if any. Just do well on the very few quizzes you ever recieve.
Easy easy class. The discussions in class are interesting and she is absolutely hilarious. I really liked her and would recommend her to everyone.
Execellent teacher!!! I absolutely recommend her I loved her class so much that I am taking 2 more with her next semester. Her work load is not bad and have a lot of chances for extra credit. The book she used was so easy to read and understand I loved it. Learned a lot in this class.
Great teacher! Very laid back with a sense of humor! She's always giving students a way to improve their grade with extra credit. Attendance is rquired and she assigns some homework assignments. She has one midterm and a term project at the end of the semester. Great teacher! Definitely recommend.
This was a good class. Nordin kept it interesting and relevant. She made sure everyone was awake with constant prostitution references. She seems to know her stuff. Grades came from a few easy tests, and there were plenty of EC opportunities. I would recommend this class.
VERY VERY GOOOD TEACHER!!! Definitely reccomend. She makes it fun. I always looked forward in going to her class.
Very great class. She kept it very interesting and she doesn't have to work hard to get your attention. A very easy and fun class. I highly recommend this class :)
Wow, this teacher is the best for any criminal justice class. I've taken all the majors with Prof. Nordin except two that she wasn't assigned to teach. Come to class, take notes, and you will pass (A). She makes the class interesting, and is very knowledgeable of her teaching.
I love her classes very funny teacher and keeps the subject interesting. Mrs. Nordin mixes the class up with PowerPoint, videos, movies, slides, and animated games, which helps from being boring. She is tough on attendance after 3 absences she takes point off of your grade, but if you do all of your homework, and extra credit you can get a A.
Very good teacher. I took her CJ01, CJ51 and CJ58 classes back to back. As I previously said they are very easy classes to take with her. Do Not buy the text books for her class, you will not need them often maybe 3 times. The only book you need for her class is the workbook.
No reason to fail the class. Only buy the workbook, you will Not need the textbook. Very Easy!
I took her class online. Her class is very easy. There is a discussion each week, and sometimes a written assignment (which is really easy). You can do the discussion and if there is a written assignment within 15 minutes and you would be done for the week. Tests are easy. You have enough time and you get 2 tries (she takes highest grade). Easy A
great teacher. her classes are simple and you learn alot. great teacher. ive always took her classes in person, i hear her online class are the same so im going to try it.
Professor Nordin was a great teacher. The assignments were few and far between and even so, they were incredibly easy. Tests are super easy, use the book or internet. Great discussion topics. Easy and great class.
Easiest A EVER. Doesn't require responses to other classmates, only touches the book ONCE, tests are basic CJ questions that can easily be found online. Homework and tests are all due on the same day every week. Most "homework assignments" require less than a paragraph response. Easy grader. Final is two short answer questions about CJ situations.
Nodrin was one of my favorite professors at Solano because she's so laid back and funny. She would always tell personal stories. I came in 10-20 minutes late every class and she didn't care. There's hardly any homework, no quizzes, and the tests aren't that hard. She did half take home tests and half in-class. Assignments are super easy and short.
Nordin is hella funny. She isn't afraid to put anyone on blast or cuss you out. All the assignments and tests were easy. Overall, I would love to take her class again. She tells really funny stories during lecture. Nordin doesn't care if you come in late just be there at the end of class bc thats when she take role for the class.
She the best college professor I have had yet and she is so funny. Most of the test are take home and they are very easy. There's no homework ever! However you have to show up to the final if not you fail the whole class.
Mrs. Nordin is hilarious and always has stories to tie in with the lecture. There are a lot of extra credit opportunities and you will never get bored in the class. Her tests are split in two so half your test is take home and the other is taken in class. All your chapter tests are curved. There is never homework
Easy. 1-2 assignments per week that are very easy
Professor Nordin is the perfect professor you can ask for, she's nice, her class is easy, and best of all, SHE IS HILARIOUS, super funny and outgoing. Would def take her again
Loved this teacher! presented the material in an easy and organized way. She is fair. Seems to care about her students and wether or not they pass her class. I would recommend her a thousand times. Offers extra credit also
Professor Nordin was very knowledgeable in her field and was a very good teacher. I am an older student who wasn't sure about going back to school due to my age. Mrs. Nordin made the class fun and interesting. I would definitely take another one of her classes. I learned so much.
Professor Nordin makes her class fun and a class to look forward to. Homework assignments are easy and she accepts late work with only a small point deduction. Fun and engergetic professor, highly recommend!
She is honestly the most influential teacher I have ever had, and if you fail her class then switch majors or college isnt the place for you !!
Textbook is required in order to study for tests. Need to go to class for notes, but the four tests are really easy as long as you show up. Prof. Nordin is hilarious & makes criminal justice very enjoyable for non-CJ majors. Lots of guests speakers & she takes attendance. No phones!
Discussion are important, but she gives you a chart on how she grades your participation on the discussions, so it is pretty easy as long as you stick to her guidelines. Tests are easy, read the book and you will be fine.
I barely opened up the textbook the whole semester until the final passed the class with an A 90%, attendance Is part of your grade she marks you down even if you're late. 4 tests, participation, attendance, and the final is what makes up your final grade. Also marks you down for being on your phone.
I've taken only online classes from Professor Nordin so I know nothing about her in-class personality. She gives clear
A great criminal justice professor! #ReallyGood
Shes an amazing little lady.
She was an amazing professor. Would take her class again, she talks a lot and likes to be interactive. She makes it fun and its not a boring class at all. Would recommend
Good class. Not a lot of homework/assignments so make sure you keep up with them. Make sure you study for the tests and youll probably get a good grade.
There are weekly assignments, just turn them in a few days before the due date to get full credit. You will need the book for open book exams. Nordins expectations are clear and the workload is manageable. I strongly recommend taking this course with her.
transitioned online after corona, very funny professor, exams are pretty easy, final was 2 writing q's. lectures are sometimes confusing sometimes, so make sure to read the book. turn in assignments ontime, she does not accept late work online and deducts 10 points per day late if in person, we had 2 take-home tests, 1 in person, 3? online, + final
I've taken over 4 classes with her, she is so funny and an amazing teacher. you wont be disappointed. if you get anything lower than a A, you must have never shown up
Has a clear rubric. Class is very simple and straightforward. Offers extra credit. I took her class online, so unfortunately I don't know much else about her, but I definitely enjoyed this class!
I took this class over the summer and it is one of the easiest classes I have ever taken. Everything is organized on canvas and the assignments are nicely spaced out making it very easy to go through. As long as you read the textbook and do your assignments, you'll be fine.
Mrs. Nordin is pretty chill, you just have to look through the textbook and save the summaries and go through the key terms because those are pretty helpful if you don't want to read too much. Her assignments are easy to do. You just have to always remember the due dates. She does not take any late work at all.
I've been taking Professor Nordin's classes since I started at Solano and they are some of the best. Her assignments and notes are clear and focus on the main points of what we are learning. Will absolutely continue taking her classes!
This professor is outstanding in so many ways. She answers emails in a timely manner, has a clear rubric on how she is grading, assignments are relatively easy and tests are fairly easy so long as you do your reading from the textbook and take notes on the reading. Overall, great professor and she has nailed the online aspect of the course.
I took Criminal Justice 53 over summer and I found the class really fun because of what Professor Nordin had us look into and read about. As well as the chapter book you read through that she provides that talks about the details of a case. As long as you do the work you should be fine. I would take her again and she is a lenient grader.
Professor is so sweet. Syllabus looks overwhelming but the tests and quizzes are directly from the textbook. She's truly a great professor. Learned a lot of fascinating things!
I enjoyed this class. Everything was straightforward, and her feedback was always helpful. There are enough extra credit opportunities. I am about to finish the course with over 100%. If you enjoy an easy good online course, take this one.
I took two classes with Professor Nordin during Summer 2022 and absolutely loved the layout of her class! She is a SUPER lenient grader with open-book policy for exams with up to two attempts each, not including the final exams. She really wants to see her students succeed and is very knowledgeable. I am taking two classes with her Spring of 2023!
Amazing professor!! the assignments were not as hard as I expected; you learned much about law enforcement, criminal law, and other law-related topics. discussions are every week and very easy to attempt. no missing assignments unless a medical emergency or if you or your family are in the military. Overall, a very easy professor!! :)
Professor Nordin was an amazing teacher, this is the third online course that I've taken with her and passed. all her assignments, quizzes, and exams are straight out of the textbook. There's no way you can fail her class unless you don't turn in assignments. Professor makes her assignments clear and grades fast so your grade is always accurate.
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!
