Reviews of professor Jennifer Marson

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
do not take CJ 282!! she gives (not an exaggeration) about 100 pages of reading every week that you are required to take notes on and turn them in. on top of all the reading, you have a paper every week you have to write. you can't even absorb the info because you are so focused on completing the absurd amount of work.

This was a great class to take with Marson. She genuinely cares about the information she's teaching and her classes are really interesting. She has a lot of experience in the field, which is so nice.  If you do the reading (around a chapter a week/20ish pages) you will be completely fine.  Exams come right from the study guides she gives.

I REALLY liked the parts on juveniles, life without parole, and the death penalty.  Never really thought about those as human rights issues.  Group work, but it wasn't bad.  Nice teacher.  I had some stuff going on and she worked with me.

Very enthusiastic and caring professor, I took this class to fulfill a gen-ed credit and would take her again for one of her other classes if I could! She is super nice and funny and her exams are pretty easy if you review your notes at all. Her lectures were fun and there was a good amount of reading/reading quizzes but they weren't too bad.

She was so great and engaging with the class. Very strict and seems intimidating but she was also very kind and helpful. You have to read for this class because she will call on people if she gets no answers to questions. The reading material was interest however, even to someone without a CJ major.

There is a lot of reading but it is an SWS course. The material and assignments were very beneficial and really stuck with me. There are a lot of upsetting topics in this course and I felt like I grew as a person after learning the material. Also the book you read is amazing. She is super educated and gives real life examples. I loved her!
