Reviews of professor Michael Clanton

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
I took the once-a-week night class, which was 2 1/2 hours and he still could not finish his lectures. Professor Clanton frequently went off-topic and takes forever to go over one slide. He also copies and pastes stuff directly from the book. There are only four exams, so if you want an easy A. Take this class.

Attendance isn't mandatory but gives you points. Tests are open noted and the powerpoints in lectures are provided. REALLY EASY PASS, but turned me away as a CRIM major. I learned nothing. Great guy, not a great teacher - he just reads the slides and gets sidetracked. If you need an easy pass, great. If you need to learn, find a new professor.

Loved being in his class! Very understanding and cares about his students doing well in the class. Explains things so it is easily understood. Your grade is mostly tests and attendance but the tests are easily passed.

Highly recommend this professor for any CRIM course. So nice, funny, and understanding!

Never went to a single class, and attendance is 20% of your grade, still left with a high C. I work full time and only took this class so that I could graduate, so I took the risk. Other than attendance, there are 5 open book exams that are very easy.

I loved Professor Clanton! His class was chill and easy. All you have to do is show up for class and take notes. You are only graded on open-note exams and attendance. I worked on other work or watched Netflix in his class if I didn't feel like taking notes and still did well. All of the material online is in the textbook or online.

This was a once-per-week, 2.5hr class for me so it obviously did seem to drag towards the last half of class, however, it was not difficult at all. Professor Clanton tried his best to be upbeat and engaging before he began his lectures, but all of the slides for notes were basically text blocks. Exams were open note. Not a bad option for an easy A.
