Reviews of professor Michael Campbell

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He's super nice and his class is lecture heavy but it's very engaging. He shows lots of films throughout the quarter. Super caring and is willing to help you anytime. Make sure to read the articles because he goes over them in class and it is on the test.

Dr. Campbell is a brilliant, passionate professor. His Mass Incarceration course really changed the way that I view the criminal justice system. He does a fantastic job of challenging the standard narrative surrounding mass incarceration. If you're interested in policy, prison reform, inequality, or politics, I would highly recommend his classes.

the professor 'teaches' without any materials such as a PowerPoint or anything. incredibly hard to follow the professor's direction as he talks in circles for all 20 classes of the quarter. Did not want any electronics to be used the whole quarter but changed his mind on iPads, and allowed those.

Terrible professor - not sure why people like him. Technology is banned in class for notes. Your grade is from 3 Lockdown Browser tests and pop quizzes that cover tiny details from the readings nobody remembers. He has his own theory, and you don't learn real criminology. Wish I would've dropped this as it's a GPA killer. Class is hard. Don't take.

I have always been interested in criminology and Professor Campbell did an amazing job giving me an intro to the concepts. There are readings every week that correlate to the lectures or show up on the quizzes he randomly assigns. There are also three exams that only cover what has been taught since the previous exam which was a nice structure.

I had him for Criminology and he is very nice. There was a lot of reading and your grade is based mostly on tests, but he is good at teaching the test content. He pretty much summarizes what is in the reading assignments during class.

Professor Campbell was a very understanding prof. He understands that online learning is hard so he let us have notes on all the tests. The course material is easy, it's not mandatory to attend zoom but it's important because he doesn't post the class lectures. All in all nice class, but pay attention and do the readings or you will fall behind!
