Reviews of professor Erika Brooke

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This class sucked. Not sure whether Professor Brooke or her TA is to blame, but the criteria were hardly explained and the grading was overly critical. I had four small mistakes total on one of my sections and was deducted seven points on a forty point scale. There really is an abysmal chance to get an A in this class. You have to ace the exams.

Dr. Brooke was very inconsistent in her syllabus and calendar. She made the calendar unnecessarily confusing. Heads up: half of the discussion is due one day and the other half another day.  No understanding or humanity from Dr. Brooke.  Her remarks were extremely short and rude. She is a very cold person, which makes her a very uncaring professor.

I took this class over the summer so it was probably harder than it normally is. Syllabus says no late work but if you write a nice email she'll take it anyway. Class was a bit rough but very informative.

Professor Brooke is very good at outlining her expectations for quality of work; consequently, she is very willing to help students achieve those goals. She is strict but understanding which makes for a very good blend in my opinion. The class is not a walk in the park by any means but an A is very achievable. Overall, I would recommend the class.

This is the 2nd time I've taken Brooke for a class and I always appreciate it bc I learn a lot. This class is a lot of work so you have to be ready to set aside a good amount of time for it but she is pretty clear with her expectations so if you can put in the work you'll do fine. Reading the textbook is really helpful with exams so I'd say do that

I loved having her this semester. She's so easy-going and won't hesitate to help you when you need it. She really cares about her students and provides you with really great resources outside of class. Her grading is super straightforward and clear. Her assignments aren't difficult at all (take it from someone who worked last minute on everything).

I took CJE3011- Careers in Criminal Justice with Dr. Brookes and it wasn't the worse class but not my favorite. A lot of busy work, like resumes, interviews, cover letters and visiting the CCC.

Dr. Brooke is a fantastic teacher, her lectures are short and to the point. Quizzes are easy and you get 2 chances, her test are also related to the lectures and some information from the book. There are 3 video assignments that might intimidate you at first but they are actually really fin and help you retain the information.

10/10 would take this class again! The class is just a couple of assignments every week, with a discussion here and there. She grades pretty roughly on APA formatting, but other than that shes an easy grader. Take this class if your schedule is hard or if your taking hard classes, easy level 3000+ class. (Also the tests are all self-explanatory)
