Comment:

Probably the worse professor I ever had. She only has two exams- the midterm & final, 50 each. Doesnt give any extra credit and doesnt curve. Will roll her eyes if you ask her to go back to the previous side, which is disrespectful. Just reads off the slide. terrible.

Comment:

This class is straight lecture and only lecture. No silly group work unlike most classes, which I respect because group work is usually ineffectual. A massive amount of readings but you don't need to do all of them since she goes over every single one in lecture. Just go to class and do some of the readings. Only graded by 2 open ended exams.

Comment:

She does not care about her students. She reads right off the powerpoint and she manages to make sociology of drug use a boring class. I would highly recommend you take another class. Very vague when giving guidance on what to study on the exam. Midterm and final are your only grades so you have to go to class.

Okay so convington isnt HORRIBLE. she TEACHES (more than what will ever be on the exam. that being said, you really dont have to attend class to do well in criminology. as long as you go over powerpoints and read a bit (dont need to buy her book)) just read and learn the material solidly by yourself and you can get a good grade. 2 exams only STUDY!

I would never take her again. She is not a good teacher at all. I would highly recommend taking anyone but her. She has to be the worst teacher I have encountered throughout my college career. She does not clearly answer questions, does not reply to emails, boring and can be rude.

Comment:

She's an excellent teacher. The key word here is teacher - she actually teaches the material! She does not spend lecture picking on students or doing group work like most classes. Instead, she actually teaches material. The exams were solely based on her slides and also some subtle things not mentioned in lecture. I learned a lot in this class.

Comment:

She is boring, monotone, etc. You've read the other reviews. This, however, was an easy course for when I took her. She has all her slides on the rutgers website electures under her name. Study the slides. I had her for criminology. She told us to remember the theorist, name of theory, positives/negatives of it etc.. Did that from slides passed, A+

Comment:

do not take her. she doesn't care about students and lectures are very long and dry. all you learn is theories, nothing interesting. tests are mid-term and final, non cumulative. if you do take her, she has her own book as a material in the syllabus, which you do not even need - she just wants to make a profit. overall not a good class

Avoid this class! She has to be the worst professor at Rutgers. Play the lottery if you actually sit in a full lecture without wanting to pull your hair out or fall asleep.

Comment:

The only professor that can make drugs and violence boring. She talks in monotone the whole class, in which only 10 people show up to. The info is straight forward but she makes it sound complicated. Reading the power points yourself is the best bet, not an easy a.

Honestly, she isn't an easy A, but she will teach you a lot. If you're in college to find the easiest classes- no don't take this because you have to study. However, I only studied for two days and ended up with a B for the midterm. Go to class, it helps. She doesn't take attendance but that doesn't matter- go. Shes really clear about the exam.

Her slides are full of irrelevent information, like percentages and stats that you will never see on an exam. Extremely unorganized professor and talks down to students. Only person that could actually make drugs boring to a college student.

Comment:

Not an easy A. She doesn't post slides. I don't think she's a bad teacher; I just don't think this is a class for lazy students . 2 exams each 50% of your grade. If you take it, make sure you know the theorists names and which theories are associated with them. Exams are HARD if you can't associate a theory with their proper theorist! She curves.

Comment:

I absolutely dread going to this class every week. Her notes are confusing and dry and all she does is talk in a monotone, boring voice about theories that are so hard to differentiate for an hour and 20 minutes straight. Only 2 exams that are extremely hard, even with the curve. Take it with ANYONE else. It's not worth the misery.

Comment:

I hated this class and prof. You must attend to get her notes, which i personally thought were not very specific or descriptive. Had a hard time differentiating theories. She does give an alright curve, but you really need to work hard for your grade. She isnt helpful and rarely actually answers questions. Take it with someone else!!!!!!!!

Comment:

This teacher was great. Although she was difficult i felt i learned the most in her class. She makes you work hard to earn your grade and class is mandatory because she doesn't post slides. But if you attend class and study just the notes an A is attainable.

Comment:

Good professor, bad attitude. Does not post slides, so class is mandatory. Not approachable bc she doesn't seem to want to be there. I learned a lot, but I wish Covington would have just slowed down instead of being nasty bc someone asked her to go back to the previous slide. Final noncumulative, but still fairly difficult. Study and you'll do fine
