CRIJ 4342.This is my second class with Dr. Mahfood. She is knowledgeable and has real-world experience in the CJ field. She is polite, responsive, caring and her assignments are not difficult. Participation matters! The learning environment is positive. She is more focused on her students learning and having fun than being a tough grader. Awesome!

Professor Mahfood offers great material and an easy path to earn a good grade. Shes fair, caring, and communicates well. Material and requirements are straightforward. With modest effort and participation, I made a B in this senior level course. Shes not hard and the information is enjoyable to read.

Dr. Mahfood is an exceptional professor. She is structured and lets you know what to expect upfront and what she expects. She uses a book that is unlike all the other normal textbooks. The book is easy to understand and delivers the material without all of the normal boring jargon. I highly recommend Dr. Mahfood. She is down to earth.

I had her for Homeland and it was good. She was very responsive to answering questions. Her test are a mixture of T/F, multiple choice and fill in the blank. She gives plenty of time. DB are a bit excessive and they require you to read or at least have an opinion. Would take her again, she is very interesting.

This was by far the most difficult course I've ever taken, and I am a senior. I took Correction Systems Practices and will never take another course where Mahfood is the professor. The workload is insane on top of being a very difficult grader. Not sure that I will even pass the course at this point and I have yet to fail a course this far.

Professor Mahfood is very down to earth and knowledgeable. She provided great feedback, and the course content was not too difficult. She provided an opportunity to earn extra credit and her expectations were clear from the start. I would definitely take a class taught by her again.
