I took CRIM2320 with him and he is a wealth of knowledge. No tests or quizzes, just writing , weekly group discussions + 4 papers per semester (2000. Writing consisted of a question and a blurb, so you could take it any way you wanted to, if you love writing its a yes! cares about helping you in your career (slow talker tho)CRIM2200 2025-04-03 17:50:04 +0000 UTC
I really enjoyed taking my Senior Capstone Seminar with Prof Singer. He is extremely smart but not arrogant at all. He's very encouraging to students about their ideas. He encouraged group discussions and he has you complete peer reviews for each section of the project.CRIM4949 2021-12-13 04:33:42 +0000 UTC
OH THE HUMANITY HE'S SO DRY! Besides that he's a nice guy, listens to students and is understanding if you mess up on an assignment. He's a really weird guy but very intelligent and tries to get the class involved in discussions. The advanced crim class has a ton of writing and is hard but makes you a great critical reader. I'd recommeCRIM4300 2012-02-15 13:13:08 +0000 UTC
Amazing individual - cares for his students - too many complaints by students who are in high school mindset - a lot of immaturity in his classes but he deals with it - he is a very patient man and he loves to teach and makes sure students understand whats up - he makes his classes as interesting as possible - its college after all not preschool!!CPSTN4949 2011-11-29 13:14:42 +0000 UTC
If you get senior capstone with him, switch out immediately for a different professor. He's a great guy, but his class is not good. A lot of unnecessary reading and writing.CJ799 2009-04-15 20:06:24 +0000 UTC
This guy is really borring. Do not take his 8am class unless you feel like sleeping.CJSECT 2007-11-13 12:46:49 +0000 UTC
Class subject is very dry and boring. However, Singer is a very nice guy and tries his best to make it somewhat entertaining.CJ506 2006-12-14 21:00:10 +0000 UTC
Very nice man. As long as you ask a lot of questions and show interest in the subject, you'll do fine in his class.URBANDISORDER 2005-12-06 22:18:06 +0000 UTC

VERY BORING. Doesnt do his own grading or computer work. Takes forever to grade anything. Very weird and aged. Easy, but id recommend spending 50k a year on something more interesting.CRIM2200 2009-12-13 23:19:25 +0000 UTC
A very nice and patient professor, who allows you to work at your own pace throughout the semester. For the Senior Capstone Seminar , I highly recommend taking his class.CRIM4949 2020-12-30 10:59:30 +0000 UTC
One of the most boring professors I have ever had. I never feel like I learn anything. He means well but his class is a total snoozefest.URBANDISORDER 2005-03-14 15:27:17 +0000 UTC
I like him. He can be monotone, but I feel his class is worthwhile if you can pay attention. I think you either love him or hate him.CRIMINOLOGY 2005-03-31 12:58:16 +0000 UTC
Capstone - really nice guy who does his best to get you interested in dull subjects. show up to class, do the reading, show interest, and you'll do fineCRIM4949 2009-12-07 22:18:57 +0000 UTC
