Reviews of professor Timothy Martin

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Your grade is based on 3 papers with no rubric or feedback, one group project, and a reading helter-skelter. I thought the class was interesting but for the amount of time the class was, I don't feel I learned as much as I wanted. Lots of storytelling, has a sarcastic dry sense of humor, and cares about participation

 Provides valuable information for future lawyers and law enforcement. His experience as a prosecutor is given through his lectures.

Spring 2020: Interesting class and good professor. As long as you participate and pay attention to the lectures you should be fine on the 3 critical response papers. You have to read Helter Skelter, but it's a good book. Few assignments. He has great stories.

Prof Martin was one of the best professors I've had at JMU. He is extremely funny and his class is enjoyable to attend even on Monday nights. 3 papers, one GP, and you have to read Helter Skelter. I didn't enjoy the book but if you allocate your time to read it before its due you'll be fine. Take this class!

My favorite JMU professor ever! He is one of the nicest guys, but still takes the class seriously. He makes the class so fun and interesting. 3 papers that are super easy if you pay attention in class and reading Helter Skelter. As long as you read the whole book you're fine. You won't regret taking him!!

Violent Crime was one of the best classes I've ever taken. Professor Martin is amazing and I could listen to his lectures all day. It didn't feel like I was sitting in a class, more like listening to a podcast or a true crime documentary. He makes sure you really understand the material and reinforces in throughout the semester. TAKE THIS CLASS!
