Theresa is a great teacher, she actually has her own law practice and just comes in to teach a couple days out of the week. She has great stories that help you remember the information. Easy A if you come to class...she takes attendance vocally and it takes about 15 minutes. She gives extra credit to people who speak up in class.Optional Final.

SHE'S GREAT! THERE IS ENOUGH EXTRA CREDIT TO TAKE YOU FROM A C+ TO AN A. SHE LETS YOU DROP THE LOWEST GRADE, AND IF YOU ARE CONTENT WITH YOUR FIRST 4 TESTS, YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE THE FINAL. SHE IS SOOO COOL AND FUNNY. SHE'LL BASICALLY TELL YOU THAT YOU DON'T NEED TO BUY THE BOOK... ONLY 1 OR 2 QUESTIONS ON THE TESTS ARE FROM THE TEXT. TAKE HER!!!

She was probably one of the best professors I've had so far. You have to go to class but her lectures are really interesting. I would have to say that there was only 2 or 3 days throughout the semester that she made us stay the entire class. She usually lets you out 20-30 min early. She gives a ton of E.C. Easy A! Highly reccommend

Theresa is an AMAZING teacher! She gives you 5 free absences [no excuses after that], the class is engaging, fun, and interesting, and you don't have to attend the class after a test, although doing so will help for the final. Four tests and one final exam, and you can drop one of those. She's very funny, witty, cusses a lot--you'll love her.

This instructor has a lot of knowledge in this field and I really appreciate her casual demeanor.

One of my favorite professors! There are 4 tests and a final, but drops the lowest one. She lets you out of class early a lot. Textbook is optional, but there are questions from it on the tests. Attendance is mandatory, but she makes the class fun with jokes and stories. I definitely would take her again! If you study, you'll make a good grade.

She is THE funniest professor I've ever had. She's absolutely hilarious & makes class interesting with funny stories. Make sure you pay attention, come to class, & take good notes, because her tests are from her lectures. Barely used the book, but I would recommend looking over it before tests. I made an A by studying the night before. TAKE HER!

She is hilarious. She gives you 4 or 5 absences and then starts taking off your grade. Go to class, pay attention, take good notes, READ THE BOOK, and study. 5 questions for each test (not final) come directly from the book and not from class. Tests are pretty hard so study as much as you can. Drops worst test. Take her class if you can!

You do have to glance through the book though b/c 5 questions from the book will be on each exam &it wont be something she covered in class

Even if you attend class and read the book (which I did) you can get an answer wrong b/c of one word that is slightly different in the answers.

Clement gave me the worst grade of my life, but she was and still is the best teacher I've ever had. I lost 30% off of every test because I wrote my ID number wrong on every one :I. Regardless, she saved me from failing the class because I was never absent. She takes notice of these things, do extra credit and she'll be more likely to help you out.

Theresa is a fantastic professor. I would recommend her more so than any of my other teachers. 101 was the most enlightening class I've ever taken in my life, and everyone that you learn is at least somewhat applicable. She gave 5 tests throughout the semester, and the lowest one can be dropped. It is easy to get an A if you study and care.

The class was terrible. Always a lecture no powerpoints no study guides for the exams or extra credit. If your thinking of taking this class DONT you will fail. If you are ever late even by 2 minutes she will mark you absent and you have assigned seats.

She is strict on attendance. All the bad reviews are salty people that want an A handed to them without doing any work. Clement makes you work for your grade, but she makes the lectures interesting. She is hilarious.

Clement is probably the best professor I've had at USC so far. She practiced law so almost every situation can be related to a case she worked. Clement is a great storyteller and loves to get off topic. One thing I will say is you will get the grade you earned. The tests are based purely on your notes and she doesn't use powerpoints.

Clement is an amazing professor. Her tests are hard and are worded tricky, and she doesn't have notes she just speaks at you and you have to write down what she says. If you don't fill out the scantron perfectly she takes off 10 points of the exam. Her exams have question from the book on material not covered in class, but I would highly recommend

Let me tell y'all, Professor Clement is the most OUTSTANDING professor I have ever had. I absolutely love her. She is knowledgeable and super kind. She starts almost every class with music and an inspirational quote on the board. Clement has changed my life and understanding of criminal procedures. Take her classes if you ever get the chance.

Clement is the best professor I have had at USC so far. For the first time in my life, I look forward to attending lecture, especially one that I have to wake up somewhat early for. She is hilarious, her lectures are incredibly engaging, and she is very approachable and kind. Always lets us out early too. Taking her for another CRJU credit hour!

Clement is an amazing professor. You have to go to class in order to pass this class, but she makes it an enjoyable atmosphere so you won't mind being there. She doesn't use powerpoints so you have to listen carefully to everything she says, but she repeats everything that you need to know. Ask questions and she'll be more than happy to discuss.

Clement is a great professor, however her attendance policy is a bit absurd. If you miss, are late by as little as 2 minutes, or leave class early more than 3 times all semester she docks a letter grade. If you aren't a freshman and have other, more important classes, don't take her. Great lecturer, but she expects her class to be your only one.

I have now taken Clement for 3 different classes because she is just that great. If you don't read the textbook, you will not get an A on any test. However, her lectures are very intriguing and she gives personal stories to demonstrate each topic more. Don't take her if you want an easy A, but you will learn more from her than any other professor.

The best professor I've had at USC. She's hilarious and her lectures are structured in a way that's interesting and easier to digest. She usually teaches procedure or whatever you're learning in terms of the law and then will tell a story from her life that ties into that. She's very smart and entertaining jut make sure to right down every word.

She is an amazing professor. and a former public defender which makes class entertaining. I am a junior and and she is the hardest class I have ever taken. There are only 35 questions on each exam only 170 points in the class. Every question on her exam is a mind game, even if you know it. Miss more than 3 classes and you'll fail.

Avoid! Tests are full of trick questions and answers. Lectures consist of her sitting on a table and rambling for 2 hours. Takes 50% off tests and quizzes for small name and VIPID errors. Graded by such few things that if you do poorly on a test or quiz, you are fighting an uphill battle just earn a C. One of the worst professors I have ever had.

No powerpoints so listen closely to lectures. 1 assignment, 1 quiz, 4 exams and a final exam that replaces your lowest exam grade. Point system used. Study daily starting a week before the exam. In the textbook- do the true or false questions before each section. Test questions can be tricky. She is super funny though. Really enjoyed her class.

Professor Clement is one of the most interesting teachers I have had. Her real life experience is very interesting and helps you learn the material. You need to be in your seat by class time or you will get counted for an absence and too many absences will hurt your grade. The material is interesting, but hard and you need to study A LOT for tests.
