Reviews of professor Jon Gurney

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Only discussions and quizzes are graded. Discussions are more like "papers", graded very harshly (no comma in between your in-text citation? F on the entire assignment!) Quizzes only contain 5 questions. Due dates are scattered, differing in Canvas/Syllabus. Sarcastic emails, takes long to respond as well. Interesting material but Prof. gets an F.

He was alright. He wasn't the best but he wasn't the worst. The class was on discussions and quizzes. He can be a little tough grading the discussions, but the quizzes were pretty easy. You can find most of the answers online. The textbook itself was pretty interesting. You learn many different types of serial killers.

Easy class with discussion and quizzes. Have an A and it is not very hard.

Whats unfortunate about this professor is that the material hes working with (the course itself) is incredibly interesting. The concept of Serial Killers in general is what brought many individuals to criminology. However, do not expect professional responses out of this professor. His emails are belittling.

Instructor is generally quick to respond to emails, unfortunately it has been a consistent occurrence because class instruction is not clear so I am having to email for clarification quite frequently. Other than that, the class has been ok and when instruction is understood the assignments are simple. Would probably take in class and not online.

Class was an easy A for me. Discussion board and quizzes. He let us make up one discussion post. Cool topic lot of videos.

Assignments were extremely easy and actually really interesting, especially for an online course. The topic is a such a prevalent one, especially in such a racially diverse society. The professor was not very approachable, & for that I will not be taking him for another course once this one is over. I do not sugar coat, so truth is what you'll get.

He has no sympathy and is not willing to work with you if you have any issue. If you are not able to access an assignment on canvas, he will not make any exceptions for you to be able to pass this class.

Take this professor! He is awesome and cares about your success. I've taken him 3 times, wish I could take him again. He is super kind and cool, and really passionate about crime & justice. Took him online for Serial Killers, Theories of Crim. Behavior, & Race & Crime. He makes the info enjoyable and simple to understand. Easy A. Barely any HW

Taking this class now. It consists of quizzes and discussion board posts. I have an A with almost no effort.
