She is an amazing proffesor!! She cares a lot about her students and provides lots of support. The content was engaging and easy to follow. You can tell she cares a lot about what she is teaching. The workload isn't high so it is great to take as an elective.CRIM1100 2025-07-02 23:47:50 +0000 UTC
Prof Ayanna was very kind and knowledgeable, which made her class engaging. She was also very flexible with due dates, gave mental health days off, and was open to feedback. If you complete assignments with effort, you will get an A. Class was enjoyable, and I would love to take from her again if possibleCRIM1100 2025-05-07 18:06:20 +0000 UTC

She is really nice. You don't NEED to go to class but the material is interesting and she ends early sometimes. Tests are online and open note. She is very understanding with late assignments. Cares about the topic and the students.CRIM1100 2025-04-08 13:10:35 +0000 UTC
really chill, readings aren't too necessary to do, easy work, engaging lectures, no examsCRIM1100 2024-12-17 00:27:03 +0000 UTC
She is very knowledgable about the Criminal Legal System and will do her best to answer any questions. She is fair when considering due dates and will use student feedback. However, she would sometimes assign long, technical readings. Despite this, I learned a lot and found the textbook extremely useful.CRIM1100 2024-01-09 03:28:51 +0000 UTC
Ayanna was amazing! Her lectures follow the required textbook but also follow very current events in our society. She facilitates great discussion in class and is very accepting and open. Take this class even if you aren't going into criminal justice! You will learn so much with an awesome professor!CRIM1100 2023-12-19 21:27:21 +0000 UTC
