Helpful but critical
Dr. Time is great! She can be tough, but is obviously a very intelligent lady who will not tolerate those who are looking for the easy way out. Highly recommended professor!
She breathes life into abstract concepts!
She is very thorough in her discussions and is very intelligent. I strongly recommend that yall criminal justice majors and minors take her class.
she is very knowledgable, nice and an effective teacher. the only downside would be her accent which is hard to understand at first but becomes easy to understand after a week or two. Take her!
Very smart lady, funny and approachable. If taking 262, make sure you read court cases thoroughly for tests. Also, take notes in class, thats all she tests. Im taking her again next semester!

Very knowledgeable and professional. A toughteacher, but an easy A if you work hard.
Her class is probably one of the most difficult classes i've taken. Her multiple choice questions are difficult and so are her short answers. You have to go to class and understand the notes you take. You should allot at least 4 hours to study for her tests. But she is great professor even though her class was hard.
She is a hard teacher no extra credit, no test reviews. You get the grade that you deserve is what she says. The test averages are like 72 percent and that's horrible.
she was hard but I learned and loved her class
I LOVE DR.TIME! Difficult course, yes but study and pass. They couldnt find anyone else to teach the course better. Wanna learn from an expert who will help you along the way? Take her!!
Dr. Time is the best professor I have ever had!! She has 4 law degrees so you know she knows what she is talking about. I enjoyed her class soo much! If you come to class and pay attention you will do great!! She breaks it down so you can understand what's being taught and she is great with one on one time. She is funny too.
She's a difficult but awesome professor! She's very passionate about her job, and if you study hard for the exams, then you'll pass. I'm going to London with her in the summer!
very nice prof. didn't even read the book once and still managed to get a B-. i had her for a 4 week summer class and she made it easy to learn all the material with her notes. test are a bit hard though.
Hard tester and harsh grader. If you don't "get it" she is unwilling to help. You are on your own.
Awesome professor. Dr. Time has 4 law degrees and knows her information very well. Don't need the book. Attendance is taken at beginning of class. Show up, take good notes, and study before the tests. Great Course!!!
EXCELLENT professor, she knows her stuff. You do have to study semi hard/KNOW your stuff for the test(because of the information that you learn in this class) However her tests are not too difficult. Be prepared to take notes the entire class because she doesn't use nor post on blackboard powerpoint slides. She kept my interest and is a nice lady.
SHE IS A COOL TEACHER...VERY STRAIGHT FORWARD ABOUT WHAT SHE WANTS IN HER CLASS...BUT DONT ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT GRADES/EXTRA CREDIT...LOL
SHE IS A COOL TEACHER...VERY STRAIGHT FORWARD ABOUT WHAT SHE WANTS IN HER CLASS
I love this teacher! Very, very intelligent lady..funny too. I always enjoyed going to her class. Always read the chapters prior to class and know what your talking about...she remembers who participates and if you end up having a B+ she'll bump it up to an A just for participating and answering her questions.
I loved attending this class. The professor was passionate about her class and encouraged everyone to participate. Her tests, however, were not easy. Read the chapters, don't skim, and study all notes prior to taking the test. She is fair about grading if you participate, even if you aren't a good test-taker, like me. Overall, I really enjoyed her.
Very good professor. Very passionate about the subject matter and open to discussion. If you go to class and take good notes, you can probably expect to get a good grade. She keeps discussions interesting and is very informative. Even though attendance is not mandatory, it is necessary if you want to do well in this class.
she is extremely knowledgeable about this subject! participate in class, STUDY, and come to class. and you will come out with a good grade. writes great recommendation letters! this is a LAW class DO NOT SLACK OFF! 3 tests, and one paper (hypothetical) no page limit but you cannot cover all the material in any less than 10 pages!have fun!
Dr. Time is the very definition of what all professors should strive to achieve. I have never learned more in one class. She is dedicated to her field and and expert at such. Be prepared to be actively involved in duscussion as well as at least 5-6 hours of studying prior to her tests.
I love love LOVE Dr. Time! hands down, my favorite professor I've ever had. Yes, her class is challenging, but at the end of the day all she wants is her students to think about what she's saying. She grades tough, but won't follow by how many points you got. If you participated in discussions and put in an honest effort you could get an A or B.
shes a greatprofessor but this class is hard. You HAVE to read and study otherwise you will not get a good grade.
Every other reviewer described her well. She's an amazing teacher who gives great lectures, but the course material is *tough*. You need to study and take excellent notes to do well in this class.
great teacher. Very Educated. She has like 10 law degrees so you will learn. Just make sure you go to class, take detailed notes, and briefly read through the chapters prior to the test. Thought it would be hard, and it definitely was NOT. Just requires a STUDENT to STUDY lol.
hard tests but if you show up to every class she will bump your grade up. had a B- and finished with a B+
All it took to get a good grade was effort. Show up, take good notes and study for the four exams. Do that and you will learn a lot, as Dr. Time is one of the most effective professors ODU has to offer. Squared away and very on point!
GREAT professor! She is extremely smart and knows what she is talking about. Her PowerPoints are very helpful and all it takes is for you to go to class and take notes and make note cards before the test. Has 4 test, and a mock trial for extra points. She took down our lowest test grade! TAKE HER!
Very boring class. She read off powerpoints and her test were extremely hard. She never really gave examples to make the class a little interesting
If you have to take this class DO NOT take it with her most of the information comes out the book and powerpoints, but most of the questions are confusing
Outstanding Law Professor!!!She is the Best ODU has to offer.Had the pleasure of taking her class on several occasions. She is tough but fair and you will learn alot if you apply yourself. Highly reccommend her class to those who wish to excell in Criminal Justice.
Great professor. takes effort to do well in her class.
Easily the best professor I have ever had at ODU. You have to put the effort in, but you will learn a lot. She knows this material very well and teaches it even better.
I love Professor Time. She was intimidating the first class but after that I learned a lot from her. She knows so much about the law. Gave 4 tests, including final, fairly easy if you study, and she gave optional paper that added ten points to lowest test grade. Ended up with A- in class
Dr. Time is amazing. She is so intelligent and you can learn so much from her. She is so knowledgable about what she is teaching that it is sort of refreshing when dealing with other teachers at ODU. She gives 4 test and she makes clear everything that will be in the test so as long as you study you will be fine.
Dr. Time is the best professor I have had at ODU! She knows the material like the back of her hand and genuinely wants her students to succeed. You must put in the effort to get an A but it's worth it!
Dr. Time is by far one of the best professors I had at ODU. Take her! You will learn a lot. Be sure to come to class prepared. Participating will help you a lot down the stretch. Trust me!
She is a horrile professor. Her test are so hard that the grad students can not grade them. The class average was a 67. Avoid her if you care about your GPA
Dr. Time is the best teacher I have had at ODU. While her tests are not the easiest in the world, they are about exactly what she teaches. She tells you everything you need to know for the tests. While attendance is not mandatory, you will not do well in her class if you do not go. I cannot wait to take her again.
Great professor, take her! You need to study for the tests but as long as you do they are easy. Do flash cards! Never used the book at all. You have to go to class because she doesn't post power points online. Take her for this class!
Greatest teacherprofessor I've had. Make sure you take notes , if you don't you won't past. I used the book but you really don't need because she knows the information very well. Study hard for test, preferably flash cards.
Absolutely a great teacher, but not an easy course. Only take this class if you really want to learn about the cjs system
She is very quiet, and speaks in a monotone voice. She also speaks slow, like you catch yourself finishing her sentences in your head slow. She reads her lectures from a powerpoint which she doesn't post online. Literally there is a section in her syllabus dedicated to what she will not do (basically be a teacher who cares)... shes the worst!!!!!!
If you care for your GPA please do not take her. Her grading is only based on 4 test out of 100 fail on you pretty much failed the class. She gives no extra bcredit so you are on your own.
The class was interesting I learned a lot. With that being said, she is tough. Don't bother taking her if you don't want to study/ put effort in. If you don't study you will NOT pass. She suggest to study by making flash cards & going over the notes. I barely cracked open the book. She gives you all the info you need during the lectures. Nice lady.
She is very rude and doesn't seemed passionate about teaching. She doesn't give study guides for test and you also don't get any homework. So all your grades are test, exams and quizzes. She didn't even go over the first exam she flew threw the answers and didn't even explain why the answer was right or wrong.
There's 4 test but everything that is on them is taught in the lectures. Be ready to take notes on everything she says and has on the powerpoints if you want to succeed
Her tests are hard, but she is a nice professor. Class is all lecture she talks about the book a lot so make sure you bring your book to class and STUDY for tests because she does NOT do reviews for tests (which she puts in the syllabus)
Ms. Time is one of the most memorable professors I've ever had, her class is a challenge but more so a challenge of yourself. You actually have to study, be organized, and work hard. Which I think is great b/c you learn so much about yourself as well as retaining the information given. GREAT professor doesn't play around, you evolve for the better.
Professor Time is an excellent teacher she teaches very well. You have 4 tests throughout the semester and each test consists of the notes. everything on the test she does go over, she makes sure of that. must go to class, she gives no study guide. it is best to have a study group with people who take really good notes and goes to class.
Would not recommend taking her for an online class. I have always taken online and have done very well. She did not know how to use black board correctly and it almost resulted in me dropping the class. She is also very vague in her lectures and I don't believe that her multiple choices on exams were graded correctly.. or maybe my notes were wrong.
You're all on your own for this one. No review or study guides. Not a bad teacher but if you don't plan on devoting yourself to the class, don't take her.
I am an A student and she gave me and several students an F on first case study. The studies are very vague, therefore, if you did not assume correctly, you get an automatic F. As stated in syllabus, no grade negotiation and no discussion of grade. She does NOT work with you so I had to drop class to protect GPA. Not caring at all either.
One of my favorite professors.
There are 3 exams the exams. She gives 3 short written assignments. There will be very easy extra credit assignments when she is unable to make It to class. She also sends a email out days before the test to state what will be on the test. Dr. Time is a GREAT teacher and knows the system well. If you study, attend class and study you will pass!!
Dr. Time is my favorite professor at ODU. She genuinely cares for students who care about their work and doesn't have time for those who slack off. Attend class, read, study, and you will be fine. She's challenging but will boost your grade if she feels that you have participated in the class. Tests are straight from the lectures. Respected.
I took this class online for CRJS 262. I knew what I was getting myself into based off what people have said about her in the past. She gave EVERYONE but 2 people an F on the first case study, but she made the question so vague and it was either right or wrong no negotiation which is stated in her syllabus. Never taking again. Got a B though!
I took this class online and read all these reviews before taking this class. Ultimately I had no choice to take this class as she was the only one teaching it. Dates on blackboard are old and wrong so I was so confused when things were due pay attention to her schedule and not BB dates. You need to read the book and her notes. No reviews for test
Professor Time is absolutely amazing and if you pay attention during the lectures youll pass! She is a tough grader but if you validate your papers youll get a decent grade! And she will help you out more if you participate in discussions. She knows exactly what shes teaching and she does it in a very understanding manner. TAKE HER!!
First time taking Professor Time here at ODU and first time taking a crim class. She made me so excited to go to class because she knows what shes talking about! Hard grader but if you take good notes you WILL pass ! Shes also funny ! Make sure to go to class or you wont pass ! Definitely recommend!!
She is a great professor. She genuinely wants her students to do well and she is available to you no matter what.
By the reviews I was shocked once I got to her class. I am an A student and almost had a mental breakdown in this class. I got 70's on all of my papers after asking what I was doing wrong. She is passionate but very hard and it was very frustrating. When I asked what she wanted she said, "simply want the correct answer." I did and still got a 70.
Dr. Time's schedule is easy to follow. At times I felt like I was missing assignments due to there being so few. You must read all chapters and take good notes. Dr. Time's exams are multiple-choice and essay. The essays were easy and the multiple-choice questions were a little tricky. Dr. Time is fair and if you put in the effort, you will pass.
The powerpoints she posts online are not that helpful so might as well attend class so she can expand more on those topics. There was 4 writing assignments, basically one a month. No page or word count requirement as long as you included your answer and why. 2 or 3 exams plus the final. She is a nice lady and very knowledgeable.
The textbook is used heavily and during COVID she didn't teach anything and expected everything to be taught by ourselves through the textbook. When in class she relies heavily on lecture slides but she doesn't post them, so make sure you take thorough notes on the slides but also on what she says. Heavy emphasis on cases and scenarios on tests.
Don't be fooled by the 5-star ratings she is getting. I got an A because the work is not THAT hard, but if you don't word it exactly as she wants she will fail you. She is not approachable AT ALL. She will shame you for asking any questions. I had to go to a previous professor to ask for help. Don't risk your GPA. A lot of ppl fail her class.
DO NOT TAKE THIS WOMAN. Literally the WORST professor I've ever had. Extremely rude, doesn't care about anything but herself. If you ask about your grade she replies saying next time your just going to get a 0. Then you are left with having NO IDEA what's going to be on the test. Just take someone else and save yourself. She's the worst.
If you are looking for a professor to inspire you and lead you in the right direction, look no further then professor Time. I do not have words to explain her level of intelligence and brilliance. I am a criminal justice major and she made me fall even greater in love with my career path. Old dominion University is extremely lucky to have her.
4 hard papers. She is hard on you. If you dont follow her directions she will give you a zero.
Horrible Professor. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Condescending when asked questions, does not lecture. If you'd like to teach yourself all of the material then this is the class for you. However, I didn't pay $1,000+ to teach myself. Waste of money and time. Only giving a 1 because I can't give a 0. Please save your GPA, money, and time and avoid her class!
Horrible professor, just save yourself the frustration of dealing with her and avoid her at all costs
I have never rated a professor before this woman. In my senior year at ODU, I have ALL my courses online; her course setup was incredibly confusing, and the amount of reading per week was ridiculous. I dropped her class after receiving an extremely arrogant email about a general question at the beginning of the course. Would not recommend.
This class is difficult, its self taught with little feedback at times. Must use the textbook and the discussion boards are either correct or incorrect. She doesnt allow emails discussing your grades either.
The class in general was so stressful. The discussion boards arent true discussion boards, she grades them off of right or wrong. The group project isnt even a group project. I would never recommend taking this professor. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
Dr. Time is an amazing professor. It's shown that she really loves what she teaches and is excited to share that information with students. If you are a student who doesn't put in the work don't expect a good grade. You will pass if you put the work in. Other than that you will love the material you will learn in this class. READ THE COURT CASES!
I didn't enjoy her class at all.She grades by a few things tests and discussion boards, however that makes up your full class grade,she is a tough grader. The only thing I liked about her was that she grades your assignments quickly. I wouldn't recommend her to anyone. This was a 200 course and it was worst than my science with lab course.
I had her for CPD 412, it was DB's, assignments (questions from a provided textbook), and a term paper. The organization of the course itself was a little off but wasn't the end of the world. Im hoping I finish the class with an A but it may be B, either way i'd take her class again. She gives good feedback on the assignments and genuinely cares.
The class consisted of 3 tests, discussion boards, and a class project. Her directions aren't the clearest but don't overthink it do the work and it'll show in your grades. The only complaint was she would open the assignments with the directions and prompts all at the sametime so you didn't know what you were doing till she opened it.
Honestly, if you read all the materials, you will do fine. I am sitting at an A and it's about to be novemeber. READ! READ! READ! I think Dr.Time just wants to see that we are reading and understand the materials as we go along. Overall, if you are passionate about criminal justice/law this is a class that you will love.
Dr time, is a pretty good professor the only thing I found hard in her course was the case studies because it's not from “argumentative stance” it's right or wrong or what she says is right based on older laws, even if you argue that it's different or could be both answers. So be prepared to read and really think critically for the case studies.
