Reviews of professor Lucy Tsado

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Criminal Justice Policy consisted of weekly readings, videos, quizzes, and 450+ word discussions. The mid-term was timed (3hours) and based on three questions minimum of 750 words for each question. No final but a 2,250+ word book review. Get ready to read, write and cite all assignments carry the same weight 25%.

Contrary to many of the reviews, I found Professor Tsado to be accessible. She provided readings appropriate to the courses that I've taken with her (two so far). Her grading is tough, especially when it comes to using APA citations (especially when you consider the MSCJ program does not require a thesis). She gives thorough and timely feedback.

Expects extensive DB posts/comments. Get ready to read 100+ pages a week for your assignments. Weekly quiz, midterm is 3 hrs and you basically have to write 3 essays. Hope you're an expert at APA bc she expects you to be. Read the book(s), WATCH HER LECTURES, and you'll pass the quizzes. She drops lowest test & quiz grade!!

Dr Tsado was good. Make sure to cite your work and respond to discussion boards. I thought the writing was okay and she doesn't grade as hard as some others. Just do the work and you'll be good. Test weren't that hard. I would definitely take her again.

The assignments consisted of 6 discussions (detailed and length matters) & must reply to 2 student's discussions (more replies are suggested). 6 quizzes. A 3 hour midterm with 3 questions (each question has a-f questions). No final exam, but a very long book review. Assignments seem to only be graded by IA's. Not the instructor.

Dr. Tsado is a solid professor. She is clear about her intentions at the beginning of the semester. There is a term paper due at the end over a movie you choose within the first few weeks of class. The class may seem like a lot, but if pay attention, and participate, it should be fairly easily.

Professor Tsado is very clear about her assignments. There is a term paper. She makes you write the abstract and turn it in first, and she grades it. There is a group presentation and attendance matters. Overall, she is a solid professor. I would take her again. Her class is not hard, you just need to pay attention.
