Reviews of professor Yasemin Irvin-Erickson

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
CRIM-404 with Dr. Irvin-Erickson was a very informative class, but the class sometimes would feel like it was dragging on. Most of the classes were focused on the groups presenting the chapter which isn't the most enjoyable. However, the class is straightforward, and very easy to get an "A".

Yasemin is one of the most lay-back and most chill professors in the criminology department. Just make sure to do your assignment on time, communicate with your group, and keep up-to-date with deadlines. Otherwise, easy class, and I highly recommend this professor to anyone looking for an async crim class.

Wow, I don't think I've ever had a professor be so understanding of outside circumstances and be willing to compromise with their students. The material is boring and kind of difficult, but she does a good job of explaining it too. Take her if you ever have the chance, she will genuinely put in effort to help you pass as long as you do too.

She is one of the nicest professors. She really does care and give good feedback. You have a long group presentation and weekly discussion questions for those who present that week. You also have mini essays, which aren't hard. As long as you do the work, you'll be fine.

This is the second class I've taken with her. She has a slight Turkish but is probably one of the most carrying/sweetest professors in all the CRIM department. She does a lot of fun activities with her students. She helps you prepare for the final project all semester. A few online quizzes (she drops the lowest grade). Show up to class.

Everybody said research methods was a terrible class but she is making it good. She tries to make it interesting, with playing cards to teach us about control groups, and giving everyone a bag of MMs to teach us about sampling techniques. It makes you understand the principals of research methods.

She is an awesome professor. She even ordered pizza for our presentations, really sweet, and knows what she talks about!

You'll be graded on weekly questions, a few mini essays (~400 words), and then a large group project. However, each lecture is structured so that the students are basically teaching the material to each other.
