Reviews of professor Kathy Oborn

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
This is by far the easiest class I've taken at CSUN. I can't say I learned much but she's a caring professor and has some great stories! There were no tests, the class mostly consisted of journals, discussion questions which came from the textbook, and discussion questions which she posted on canvas.

If you have a focus on Criminal Justice, take her class! Out of all my CJS classes, this class is BY FAR the most useful. Various guest speakers from the CJ field will give informative presentations throughout the semester. Professor Oborn was a police officer herself so she is a great source to learn from as well. Plus, the class is an easy A.

The best teacher ever seriously! Super laid back and understanding. I just loved her!

Such a funny, kind and respected teacher. She used to be a police officer so she shares many stories about her time out on patrol. She brings in amazing guests (a former member of the FBI and a current member of border control). Easy homework. Easy assignments. Super knowledgeable about all things law enforcement. Quizzes are based on readings.

Weekly assignments that directly related to the textbook. She gives extra credit for exceptional work. Assignments were either essay format or power point presentations. Great instructor that really cares about her students. I would highly recommend her for any CJS course.

I took her 8 am class. She doesn't do extra credit nor accept late work. Her work is fairly easy and just watch films and write a review. She doesn't do much to engage with the class which is a problem. Unexpected attendance taking! She did this mid semester it was so random. Gets upset when people don't show up to class.
