Prof Segura is a great professor and gives amazing lectures. He taught so much about criminal law and is very knowledgable. The best part is he always communicates with us, and if you have a questions, he is very approachable. Def highly recommend this professor!!!

He is very caring about students and gives engaging lectures, best proffessor ive taken in SBS
Today Mr segura give a lecture on law and the 4th amendment and provided so much knowledge on privacy and searches that I did not know before. He really knows his stuff on law and I look forward to taking criminal law with him here at NAU
Proffessor segura is one of the few professors that actually cares about if you understood and grasped his lecture. I like the fact that he engages the class and gives detailed feedback on papers where its not completely negative
I took this course with dr. michalowski and professor segura, and i was struggling with one of my essays for human rights. So i reached out to Mr. segura and he was so kind to breakdown my essay for me and give me great feedback. He even went through my paper to make sure I was understanding the content and provided positive comments. highly recomd
Took this professor for 101, and he was great. 10/10 recommended ::)
This professor gave a great lecture today on death penalty and wrongful convictions. I was so interested in his lecture, especially with his expereicne and knowledge, he is my favorite professor by far
Professor S taught criminal law this summer and it was honestly one of the best courses i have taken during the summer. He was very clear about his expectations and the assignments
I took criminal law with him this summer and it was an awesome course! As unfortunate as summer classes are, this professor made the class enjoyable and easy to understand. Would 10/10 recommend this professor.
I took Professor Segura's criminal law course and really enjoyed it! Great teacher, gives great feedback, and is always updating us students on assignments. He always checks in on us, and is a very clear and understanding teacher. 10/10 would recommend him to anybody. Hopefully I get to take a course with him again :)
Professor segura is one of the best law professors I have ever taken. This professor is truly an inspiration and knowledgeable about law. He really gives great lectures on legal cases and criminal law and wrongful convictions , I highly recommend 12/10 taking this Professor when you get a chance
Prof. Segura is one of my preferred professors! His class was extremely organized, and despite it being online, the material was attainable and well taught. The workload is definitely manageable, and he provides great feedback. I highly recommend this class.
This class has become one of my favorite classes to date. Prof S made all the material into something I wanted to learn, and even though it was online I felt I learned a lot from the class. The videos he posts are very interesting.
He truly cares about his students. The material is interesting and there is no busy work. All assignments contribute to your learning and understand. There werent any exams, just weekly quizzes that are fairly easy to do well on. He offered multiple extra credit opportunities. Prof S was great 12/10 recommend, very understanding and knowledable
I loved taking my law in america course with Dr. S. I really enjoyed how this professor gave content that was from a neutral stance and gave clear examples. The best part of taking this course was how our professor communicated with us constantly, I would def take this professor again
Professor Segura is one of the best CCJ professors I have taken at NAU. He is a highly respected professor and gives the best lectures that include participation and group work. Dr. S's courses aren't like the other boring lectures you get. Trust me, you want to take his class any chance you get.
Professor Segura is a really nice guy! Always checks in on his students and truly wants them to succeed. Material is interesting! A few assignments here and there with a few take home tests. His lectures are more of an informal socratic discussion, so participation matters, but it isn't required that you talk in class. Would 100% take him again!
The class is online so there is no lecture, however he emails you multiple times a week with reminders for the work you'll need to have completed for that week. He is flexible on due dates if you let him now you need more time.
Professor Segura is extremely caring and a great professor! His assignments are straight-forward and he always answers any questions. He sends out weekly emails with reminders for the week which are extremely helpful. I highly recommend taking one of his classes!
Dr. S is an amazing professor with an amazing personality! He has shown nothing but respect and kindness throughout the entirety of the course and is willing to help whenever you need it. Though this course was online, I felt as if I could reach him whenever it was needed and even during the holidays he was there to answer questions for me!
This is the second course I have had with Dr. S and I was just as impressed the second time around as I was the first. Even though this class was online, Dr. S made sure to make me feel as if I could accomplish whatever that week in his course held. Overall, wonderful professor and would highly recommend.
Professor Xavier is the best professor I have had at NAU. Although it was an online course, he was still always available and quick to respond to any questions. He gave great feedback and is truly the most caring professor I have had. He is very sweet and it is obviously that he loves his students and what he does.
Honestly he is a great instructor. Very lenient with late work and truly cares about his students.
This professor was very kind and caring and had complete understanding that sometimes students have more going on in life than just school
I've never had a teacher that I felt cared about the success of his students more than Professor Segura. I would 100% recommend his class.
Amazing professor! Very caring.
He is willing to listen and be patient and understands the stress of a student. He gives you more than enough information on the subjects and is willing to answer any and all questions to the best of his ability in a very timely manner!
This professor is one who cares for academia as well as the students providing an environment rich of knowledge and information that is worth knowing to your life. All the while it not being an academic environment that puts a lot of stress on you, he was never a bad professor or at all difficult. This is a man who has earned my respect. -EQ
He is a very caring professor who really takes time to help his students however he can. His assignments all have a purpose and help you learn. He focuses on quality over quantity with his assignments and this course truly helped me learn a lot.
Professor Segura was an amazing professor who connects with students and provides them with the materials to grow while learning. He will helps students and wants them to retain the material, not just memorize it. In this course I could see how hard he works for his students and wants them to attain their goals. Best professor I've ever had!
Xavi was an absolutely amazing professor! I took his summer course CCJ 380.. The assignments were very fun and easy to do as long as you read the chapters and watched the videos. Super amazing professor who truly cares about his students. I plan to take more classes with him and I highly recommend taking his class if you have the opportunity.
By far the best Professor I had at NAU. Professor Segura cares about his students and makes sure he does not overwhelm them with so much work. He motivates his students to be the best they can be and is well organized. I did take a four-week course which did require a lot of reading, but assignments were easy and everything was broken down nicely.
Profe Xavi is one of the best professors I have had at NAU. Although this was an online course, the assignments were very interactive and not tedious like how some online courses can be. Profe Xavi did not over-assign, instead, he was very considerate of his students' well-being. If you have the chance to take a class taught by Profe Xavi, I would!
Overall amazing professor! Communicates great, is willing to work and help students,and provides great feedback. The workload is very reasonable for the class, great recorded lectures to help with understanding concepts. There is quite a bit of reading but worth it. Great professor, great class, would definitely take this class and professor again!
He is so kind and helpful to students. Responds fast and was able to help me join the course late and was very understanding and helpful. By far the best teacher I've had at nau so far. He makes learning fun and exciting. Very good material for the course and truly an amazing teacher.
He is an amazing professor! This is my second time taking one of his classes and he really does care deeply about his students learning and well being! The best professor I have had at NAU.
This professor is among the best you can take in the CCJ department. He is very understanding, caring, and lenient regarding deadlines. I have never had a professor that cared more about mental health. He is a fantastic professor, and even though I took the class in the summer, I could still learn and enjoy my time away from NAU! 10/10 recommend.
Professor Xavier Segura, is for sure my favorite, very easy to follow instructions you don't need to pay for textbooks and he has inspirational quotes that do uplift you, and he answers his emails quick to help you. I suggest you do take this course
Great course! If you enjoy writing too this is a good class, i appreciated the feedback as well!
Please take his class, you won't regret it. He's very kind to students, even if you're just online, and he cares a lot about his job and what he teaches. He responds quickly to students and is very lenient about deadlines.
Very clear and understanding, and chooses interesting cases to read making the overall class more enjoyable
He's very kind and leaves helpful feedback on most assignments. The class is online, but it's mainly composed of writing assignments. The cases were really interesting and I personally enjoyed how the "mock trial" was conducted.
If you are deciding which CCJ course to take next semester, look no further. Professor Segura is one of the sweetest and knowledgeable professors in the department. This class was easy to manage and the professor gives great feedback on assignments. Seriously, take this class. You will be glad that you did.
He is an amazing professor! The mock trial was helpful and made the class interesting. Definitely take this class.
Professor Segura is very understanding as a teacher and very inspirational
Dr. Segura was a pretty chill experience. I was told his class was easy and he was very understanding and I can't reiterate that enough. Dr. Segura only assigns 1-2 assignments a week, is very lenient, and takes time to understand his students and what they are going through. I highly recommend taking CCJ210.
Loved Segura. He is super understanding and the assignments are effort based.
The best professor I have had for an online course. The class is based on a few, high-point-value assignments, but Professor Segura gives great examples and grades based on participation/effort rather than complete accuracy. Xavier also gives the best feedback to give good real-world practice within the CJS through the mock trial assignment.
Professor Xavier Segura provides very clear, informative, and understanding lectures. He sends out weekly motivational emails, which I think is very important because it uplifts students. He also provides very good feedback on assignments, such as what could be improved, etc.
This professor is AMAZING! CCJ isn't even my major and yet he's the best professor I've had! He respects all of his students and is incredibly kind and understanding. I think everyone should take a class with him!
The mock trial for this class had about 5 assignments total and they were all very straightforward. As long as you are doing what is asked of you for these assignment you will have no problem passing the class!
Super understanding and kind. Great professor!
This class was one that I enjoyed taking this semester. The professor is cool and makes sure to give motivation and understands what students may be struggling with. He sends weekly emails with expectations and assignments which is super helpful.
Professor Segura was amazing! This was such an interesting course to take, he gives in-depth feedback on the assignments both on the strong points of your responses, but also gives you another perspective on things to consider to help enhance your responses. The structure of the class was easy to navigate. I 100% Recommend!
Prof. Segura is the most kind-hearted, caring, and understanding professor I have ever encountered. I would 100% recommend him for any class. He truly cares about his students and wants everyone to succeed. He gives amazing, detailed feedback and is accessible outside of class for any help you may need. If you are thinking about taking him, do it!
He is such a kind professor!! He made assignments so easy by explaining so so so much and giving examples on how submissions should look! Overall good class and even better professor!!
Professor Xavi is probably the most understanding professor I have ever had! He is a very fair grader, and offers feedback on the assignments. The class was following one case study that included multiple assignments so it was really interesting. I would definitely recommend this class if you have a lot going on but need the credit hours!
Professor Segura is one of the most kind-hearted, understanding, supportive professors I have ever had. He is very knowledgable and passionate about the subjects that he teaches. He makes sure that various learning styles are accounted for during his lectures by providing notes, videos, discussions, and games. His workload and grading is very fair.
Prof. Segura was one of the nicest professors I've had. He was understanding that we're humans first and our lives don't revolve around this course. He gave great feedback, really showing that he wanted us to know the topics and have a good experience. 10/10 would recommend!
Professor Segura is one of the best professor's I've had here hands down. Even though this was an online class he reached out all the time about different things and communicated what was expected. He was super understanding, and his assignments although required careful detail, were easy to complete with all of the GREAT resources he gives.
Took this as a Summer course and was very enjoyable. He had lectures, slides, and reading available. He also had easy short weekly quizzes, accepted late work with no penalty, and gave amazing feedback. Overall was very understanding and an amazing professor, I would highly recommend him!
This professor is truly amazing and communicates the best with their students :)) The lectures were well explained and I was able to comprehend the material fast. The class assignments were interesting because we followed a current popular case that is currently happening!
This professor is one of the best I've had in college! He's so attentive to everything and sends thorough weekly updates. His assignments relate to real world problems and allow us to practice things we will actually need in the future. Highly recommend:)
Professor X is super understanding and cares about his students. There were not many assignments but the mock trial was my favorite! Easy grading, sends reminders which super helps! Certainly would take his class again
he truly cares about his students. He did a great job shaping this class with highly recommend is filled with lots of information, but easily set up and really informative.
Professor Segura is absolutely amazing. I took his class as an elective (nothing related to my field of study), and he made the class so interesting! The assignments are crystal clear & always an example to follow. For it only being 7.5 weeks long I never felt overwhelmed. Great professor, I'd recommend to anyone.
Assignments were clear and graded very easy. As long as you try you will get a good grade. Professor is nice and very understanding!
This class is very easy going if you put in the time and effort, which is something I didn't do. there are a lot of extra credit assignments that have helped me out but also Xavior Segura is very helpful in assisting his students.
This professor is amazing. He is very lenient on late work and gives great feedback. Overall, the classes fairly easy. There is a bit of reading, but that is to be expected in any college course.
Truly one of the nicest professors you could have. The material was really interesting and the assignments were pretty easy to understand. The assignments are usually a bit heavier but his instructions are thorough and helpful.
This was my first online class and Prof. Segura was the best choice I could have gone with! He was so caring and truly wanted us to succeed! He was really helpful when it came to assignments! Overall, I would 100% take a class with him again!
I took this course online, i loved the class if your a crime junkie or interested in being a lawyer, cop, etc, we worked on case files, selecting a jury, you got to choose to be the prosecutor or defense, we wrote closing arguments on the case and so on. It was a very interesting class would definitely take it again.
Professor is very nice and workload isn't that hard at all. Overall great class and is a super nice.
Given that it was an online 7.5 week course, the workload was not heavy. The professor provided in-depth feedback on each assignment. Prof. X values teaching more than just a letter grade. The class itself was interesting and fun given that we got to study case files and write from the standpoint of either the prosecutor or the defense.
Very interesting topics and easy assignments based around them. Professor Segura gives very in depth and helpful feedback on all assignments and is super open to help students, and takes constructive criticism very well and will work to adjust things in response. I highly recommend this class, just pay attention and read the HW instructions closely
This class was very interesting and he found ways to incorporate real world experiences to prepare students for future endeavors. Definitely would take again since the class was fairly easy and the assignments were really fun and interesting.
Very fair and understanding professor
he was a great professor! he responded to my emails very quickly. he gives us the textbook. all of the assignments are very easy and interesting to do.
I took Professor Segura based on the Rate my Professor reviews, and so should you! Boy was I not disappointed. His lectures are incredibly engaging and cover polarizing topics without alienating anyone. He gives extensive feedback on every assignment, and he takes the time to develop personal connections with his students! Take him if you can.
he's ridiculously easy. get the free A+.
Easy class and cool professor
This was such a good class to take, he was a great professor and had a lot to teach! Would take again if I could
great prof
Despite having a 7.5-week online course with this professor, I was able to learn with the help and support of Professor Segura. He offered excellent feedback and was especially forgiving about late assignments. It was quite a workload, but every assignment and piece of material provided was engaging, helpful, and necessary.
Amazing! Would definitely take one of his classes again!
He is a great professor. Really easy assignments, and it is mostly doing your own research and providing your opinion on it. Would definitely take his class again. He is really caring and always checking on students. 10/10
The professor understood that sometimes you have to turn something in late when life happens. He is a great communicator with his students, would send weekly emails reminding you of what assignments are due. I have taken one of his classes before, and he is the reason I took this class. Would take him again if I weren't graduating in the spring!
