Reviews of professor Gabriel Lenz

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
The material Professor Lenz provides for Crime & Democracy is so fascinating! The readings are long but they're interesting, and he makes thoughtful arguments in lecture that you wouldn't typically think of regarding the subject. The grading rubric for essays is a bit vague, but he is helpful in OH + his GSIs are awesome.

Prof. Lenz completed changed my perspective on crime and our criminal justice systems. His lectures are interesting. For the class, it is three one-page papers, attendance, and a final paper so it is pretty manageable. My only complaint is that the readings were pretty long, which got annoying towards the end of the semester.

Professor Lenz is great! Very passionate about crime! However, his lectures are pointless after about week 3. After week 3 just dont show up because he literally reiterated the same material through the rest of the semester. Do worry about your GSI who will likely be a tough grader who is trying to prove themselves. The GSI teaches this class!
