Prof Moffatt appears to be intimidating because he is such a large guy but he is truthfully one of the nicest people I have ever met. The class is mostly a soc class but Moffatt made class entertaining and 95% of tests come straight out of the book... I would take him again if I had the chance

Moffatt is amazing.. he has great lectures and always tells interesting stories. theres homework questions at the end of every chapter, 1 required essay and 1 extra credit, and 2 exams. take his class for sure!

Moffatt is the**** .. i loved his class .. he has the best stories involving his "primitive war club" and the test arent too bad if you study for them

Prof. Moffatt is such a great guy!!! he is so hilarious and i loved his stories!!!! He tells you exactly what will be on each test. 1 movie review, 3 tests, and 1 hard extra credit (but you probably wont need it!). really an easy and interesting class. you'll never feel like you can't talk to him.

Hands down the best professor I have had in my career at Sac State. Extremely knowledgable, and his stories from when he was an officer makes you want to attend class everyday. The reading is a must for the chapters, but the material is very straightfoward. A rare very helpful professor!

Moffat is a GREAT teacher, never dull, easy to listen to and makes a joke here and there. Very specific on test reviews, only one paper due in the class. If you show up its an easy class to pass.

i loved his class!

Lectures can offend some but the facts support the information taught. Open to discussion and different view points. Easy to talk to, willing to clarify any questions. Challenging academically for some but lectures are easy to follow, make sure you take good notes. Fair in his grading. Great Professor, I learned and enjoyed the class.

He was an easy professor with no mandatory attendance. His test were a lil hard but homework was easy. He was an ex sacramento PD so his views are really conservative but what do you expect. His stories are funny and help with learning. If you respect him he will respect you with his grading. Just talk to him!!

The class was easy and the lecture was interesting... He's an ex-cop so he has a lot of stories to tell. He's funny and approachable. The exams consist of a lot of material but overall they aren't that bad. You have to watch a movie and write an 8 page paper relating key terms from the book to the movie, but it is easy and he's an easy grader.

Interesting lectures. Show up to every class and you'll do fine on the test. He goes over all test materials the day before. Good personality, funny, not a boring class!

The haters are stupid. Prof. Moffat was amazing. His course was extremely helpful and knowlegeble. I think the history lesson being learned in class is too much for some to deal with because he is very blunt and honest with the facts some never learned correctly. Take him.

Prof. Moffat is by far one of the best professors at sacstate. Although I took his class during my freshman year and I recently graduated but he still remembers everything. He is smart indeed and his class was fun, Informative and interesting. Even though I got a C, I still think he is a fair grader. So take his class if you can.

Best prof I ever had at SacState.He will go out of his way to help you.Class is easy.Multiple choice tests and quizzes are essays.Has a paper to write but is an easy grade as long as you incorporate course materials in there and dont have any grammar problems.i dont have his class anymore but he still helps me with my other courses.HIGHLY RECOMMEND

class in interesting.know what he is saying.takes suggestions and comments.he states fact and u can agree/not with him but that doesnt mean u are wrong.he likes learning about other cultures and ethnicity.very helpful.essays,paper,midterm and final.not bad.easy grader.be careful of your grammar use.you should b fine as long as u take good notes.

I Love Love Love Professor Moffatt!! Such A Good Teacher, Others May Not "Think" He Is But I "Know" He Is. :D CRJ1 Is Such A Good Class And I Recommend This Class For All CRJ Majors

Professor Moffatt is the best!!! He is soooo funny! I love his stories! He is really easy to understand because everything he teaches he explains very well and most of the time he relates it to experiences because he is a retired cop. He is the best! I would recommend him to EVERYONE!

He is a great teacher!! Class is very funny and your always learning something! No text book so you definitely want to go to class but its worth it! I definitely recommend his class..he is very funny!

He was an amazing professor, always kept class involved! Not once did I want to sleep in his class. He was also very caring to, but he senses a BSer when he sees them

Awesome teacher! very interesting and enjoyed hearing his past storys being a police officer! nice guy, easy tests and gives you a clear review.

This was my first criminal justice teacher and he was awesome! i'm now taking crj 5 with some lady i cant even understand and it makes me wish i took his class again!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Do the work and you will pass its as simple as that!

Had him for 2 different classes so far and would definitely take him again. Very knowledgeable and very easy to approach. Work load is about right for upper division, and he spells out the material that will be on exams for you. One of the major's better professors.

I will never forget when he said “If I tell you the sky is green and the grass is blue than you write it down, even if you know it is wrong.” He thinks whatever he says is correct and does not allow students to have there own opinions. Overall, he is a good professor but needs to let students have more of an open mind about certain material.

Its real simple in Moffatt's class, if you don't take notes and don't come to class, you will prob not get a good grade. Note taking is a must. I found his class very interesting and feel he is one of the better Professors here at Sac State. We need more professors that care about students like Prof Moffatt does. Def take him for any CRJ classes!!!

amazing professor! he seems intimidating at first but he's actually really cool. he never makes class boring because he shares alot of his stories. this is a class that you will have to work for though so take good notes and read the textbook. TAKE GOOD NOTES. missing classes will hurt you.

Professor Mofatt is one of the coolest, knowledgable, and simply greatest professor that CSUS has! He has three exams in class. The first two exams are multiple choice and the final has both multi choice and fill in the blank. He gives out the study guide. And if you learn your study guide you should be able to get an easy A in class.

Exams are based mostly on lectures. Many students got B's on the 1st exam and C's on the 2nd exam. I got A's on both of my exams. If you want to shoot for good grades on the exams, then I suggest that you take good notes on EVERYTHING (he test students to see if we pay attention which are not on the studyguide), write fast, and don't miss class.

No textbook is required. Exams based on class lectures only and there aren't any power point slides so pay close att. 2 midterms and a final. Has a review for every exam that is helpful. The final is cumulative but he will tell you exactly what you need to know. Do not miss class and take good notes. Exams have questions to check if you pay atten.

For an intro level course it's pretty challenging. I received a C+ because I didn't study for the final. Class is interesting with Prof Moffat's stories. Attendance is mandatory. Just make sure to read the chs at least 2x, take good notes, and come to class!

Professor Moffatt was good. He really knows his stuff and was funny. He gave great examples to clarify his material. Attendance was mandatory to get the information needed for test. He told is everything that was going to be tested and it was accurate and never no other papers or homework was given. Review notes to pass frequently.

Moffat was hands down the best prof I had all semester. He went out of his way to meet with me and help me understand what I got wrong on the test and why it was wrong.

This guy is really cool and funny. Lectures are really clear, relevant, and interesting. Everything is applicable to real scenarios and is really fun to learn about. Guest speakers are always a nice break too. Definitely take this class.

Moffatt is a fair professor. His tests are challenging but due-able. I took 3 of his class and struggled a lot with the first one. But if you want to go into law enforcement field such as police work, then his class is for you. You will enjoy every bit of his class because they are law enforcement related and are supper interesting. Not an easy A.

Prof. Moffatt is a great great great professor. I really enjoyed his class, I would definitely take another class taught by him if I could. His class, for this semester, was made up of just 1 midterm and the final. Other work down in class were just 3 chapter review question papers. They were credit or no credit. I recommend.

Prof. Moffatt is a awesome teacher. The class however is extremely hard. I showed up every class and took amazing notes and still have a C in the class. Take away, if you dont show up you will not pass!!!!! Show up and you most likely will. He is also always there to help dont be afraid to ask. He is a huge guy so he looks intimidating.

"Rarely" uses power points. Verbal lecture therefore attendance is a must. Passing class depends on note-taking and studying skills. Take as many notes as you can but be concise. Occasionally takes attendance. Three multiple choice exams. Q's are directly from lecture. Final is accumulative. 65-85 questions each. Your exams are your grade.

Moffatt is a fair professor and I enjoyed his class. There was two midterms and a final. You must go to class and take notes. What he says in lectures are on the test. There's no book and he rarely uses a power point. It's not that hard as long as you listen and take good notes.

Class lecture is straight forward. HOWEVER, tests are extremely difficult. I am a straight A student, and I can tell you that this class will make you work your A** off if you want at least a B. Overall, Moffatt is a good teacher, and I would take the class again because of the INTERESTING statements from students lol.

I LOVE PROF MOFFATT! He is hands down my favorite teacher I have had at Sac State! I didn't miss a class because thats how much I enjoyed him. I took CRJ 1 and 5 with him and got an A in one and a B in the other. Definitely have to work hard and study for your grade. He has a midterm and a final and that is what your grade is based on.

Moffat is a great! He has a "required textbook" on the syllabus but didn't have us buy the book. He lectures every class bases off powerpoints so you have to take notes. Lectures are long but he keeps it interesting by adding in personal stories. 4 papers and a group project. No final, the 4th paper is the "final". Overall, was a great class!

Professor Moffatt is cool. He talks about white privilege and if you are sensitive towards that topic then you probably shouldn't take the class.

He does not use powerpoint at all, all of his lectures are verbal so you have to get used to writing his own definitions down because in the test there are his "own words ONLY." We do not use textbook, attendance is random and PHONES NOT ALLOWED TO BE USED. (SILENCE THEM) Overall his class is interesting so I recommend taking his over the others.

He is a funny, well respected teacher, but be aware you need to work for your grade. There is a group project, a midterm, and a final. There is no book, no powerpoint, you need to be there for his lecture. Overall, great teacher, I would take again. Make sure your phone doesn't go off.

Very funny and cares about his students. There's no book required but in his syllabus, the textbook his lectures are from are under the recommended reading. If you don't get the book, you definitely need to show up to class. Highly recommend going into his office hours in case you missed something. Two tests, one group presentation.

Professor Moffat was an interesting professor to take. He uses no power points and no book. He just talks all class and you have to follow along, If you take this class, take it with friends to help eachother out because it is impossible to take notes on everything. His tests are always 65 questions and the final was 80. GOOD LUCK.

Moffats class was heavily reliant on lectures, all you need to do is take good notes and you WILL pass. Super intelligent professor. All of these other rating claiming they didn't do good is just because they did not pay attention in class. He is in no way opinionated and only speaks the truth. Make good flashcards and enjoy your A. I know I did.

Moffats exams are based off his lectures and what HE says. Go to class if you want to do well on the exams since they're not recorded. He is a good professor, he provides you with tons of info and stories of his own personal experience. He doesn't accept late work or offer extra credit.

Dr. Moffatt is a great professor! He is lecture heavy. He expects you to come to class, pay attention and take notes. He is very approachable and encourages you to ask questions and reach out to him. He will not spoon feed you grades, he does expect that you earn them. You can definitely learn a lot from him if you put in effort though.

Honestly one of the best professors i've had. He was very cooperative and a nice teacher. There's 3-4 exams throughout the semester and you have to respond with the information he provides in his lectures, which is why it's mandatory to go. We made a group-me for our class to it was helpful. Make sure you participate/turn on your camera.

He is the best. If you are interested in pursuing a career in public safety TAKE THIS CLASS.

The class is really easy. The lectures are very interesting and you won't ever be bored because he jokes around a lot. The test are easy a lot of them are just based of class notes. He's easy to talk to and have a conversation with.

Easy grader, good lectures!

Classes were never boring, tests were based on the lectures and he provides a lot of stories and jokes around as well. Easy to talk to and provides good feedback/advice.

Professor Moffatt was amazing!!! Very easy grader, funny, caring, and inspirational. Most of our grade is based on the midterms and quizzes. I'm sure we had no homework besides that. He does not do lectures with a slide, he does it old school but I find it much more interesting and everything he says correlates with our quiz/test questions.

Amazing professor. You have to show up to class for his lecture, exams are based on his lecture.

Great professor, simple class, just go to class and write what they say and you will be fine, only 4 things graded for me, really easy class and professor is amazing, 10/10 would take again.

Just go to class, write down what he says, and boom easy A. He literally sometimes tells us what the questions will be on the exam, and goes over notes if needed and will help in office hours, also great lectures, they are amazing, 10/10 would take again.

Make sure to go to the lectures if you want to pass and take notes.The professor encourages discussions, questions, and the sharing of perspectives. If you find yourself struggling with the class go to his office hours. Overall I would recommend his class.

I would 100% recommend this course to anyone interested in criminal justice. Professor Moffatt is very caring about his students and his profession. No homework or assignments other than a midterm, and the final. So simple! Whats on the midterm/final is said in the lecture so just go to class, take notes and you will pass easily with an A.
