Very, very, very boring class. Recently, less than half the class has been showing up. Lectures right from powerpoint and gives pop quizzes. Doesn't really stress class participation. A midterm and final, a paper and group project. He is a nice guy but the class is terrible.CRIM3500 2010-04-03 17:44:47 +0000 UTC

Sam is a great professor with tons of real life experience in the Criminal Justice field. Also, he has a comprehensive review for the midterm and the final, which were not difficult exams.POL301 2009-04-28 18:47:01 +0000 UTC
He's very hard to understand. It's pretty much pointless to go to class because he just reads from the slides and they're on blackboard anyways. I got an A on the midterm and I didn't go to class that much and when I did go, I just went on my computer.CJCJ 2008-11-16 19:27:08 +0000 UTC
Had no credibility teaching AMERICAN policing because he's from India and has such a thick accent you can barely understand him. But, doesn't require attendance, makes the tests straight from the books and puts notes on blackboard. I'm sad. This class could have been so fun if a cop taught it.CJ350 2008-09-08 20:53:05 +0000 UTC
