Reviews of professor Richard Tewksbury

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
7 quizzes, 7 discussions, 1 each due every 2 weeks. 4 exams, 1 due every 4 weeks and 1 short 3 page paper due at end of semester on a movie. Overall, gives you more than enough of time to complete everything. Helped when I was struggling to keep on track with the course. Easy to get in touch with, really cares about his students success! TAKE HIM!!

Tewksbury was a good professor. He was not very responsive through email, but he would respond at least weekly to students. He does take everything for his tests/ quizzes directly from the book. He will purposefully find small things that are meant to test if you are reading It sounds a little rough, but it really is not too bad.

He is one of the most caring professors I have ever had. We had a problem where Canvas would grade the answers wrong and he was completely understanding to refix it. This is my first Criminology class and I thought it would be hard but it wasn't that bad. His discussion board posts have to be lengthly but it isn't hard.

Dr. Tewksbury is a fantastic instructor, that cares about his students! (I am the perfect example, as I had an unexpected medical emergency during class, he went above and beyond to ensure that he helped me any way he could). He is clear about his expectations at the beginning of the course, pay attention, you'll do well, ignore, you won't.

The content is easy to understand. What isn't easy is the number of assignments and the way Tewksbury grades. Very textbook heavy. A discussion board, quiz, and essay due each week. Really just not worth it, especially if you have a large course load.
