Comment:

Probably the clearest grading criteria -- literally tells you the rubric for the assignments. Any lost marks, you'll know exactly why (predictable). Course load was above-average but if you like the material the time flies by and the flip side is you'll learn an above-average amount too. Also really nice, and kind of old school ) Show respect.

Comment:

Do not know how she became a teacher. Her tests are hard, homework was difficult, I attended every single class and kept up with readings. It is either her way or the highway. just because she was once a lawyer, doesn't mean she knows everything. don't recommend this class at all!

Comment:

Jessie is overall a really nice teacher but she's a really hard marker and she doesn't make much sense during her lectures. Although she is really sweet, its hard to learn much in this class. You really have to work for a decent grade but don't expect much. Her text book is soooo boring. Not even worth buying. I haven't used it once.

Comment:

Jessie's notes and lectures are too UNORGANIZED. she's all over the place in her lectures. She would jump from talking about one chapter to another. She talks about a lot of things unrelated to class and would not talk about the important things like explaining what the assignments and projects are or what she expects from it. biggest regret ever!

Comment:

Jessie is a sweet heart. Although her tests are hard and her criteria for projects is vague, she is still a great teacher! She tends to get off topic a lot and she gets distracted easily. If you want to do well on the tests study the study questions she posts for each chapter. You need to work for your grade, it wont be handed to you.

Comment:

I really enjoyed her class. Her textbook is confusing at first, but after a few lectures I understood the topics a lot better. Her lectures are easy to understand, posts them online as well. The case briefs assignments were a little vague, but overall doable. Law is a dry topic, but her enthusiasm for it made me enjoy it a lot more. I recommend her

THE WORST CLASS I HAVE EVER TAKEN! if you are looking for a good crim teacher and want to learn something, then this is not the class for you. Class goes by so slowly and her lectures are unbearable. she makes you buy her text book which sucks..i guess she makes money off it. Awful. Worst prof that i have ever had. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR DONT TAKE IT

Her teaching is very clear, love how she tries to engage with the class instead of just provide dull lectures. Tries to get in a few group projects. She Marks assignments and tests pretty easily. Would take again!

Comment:

she is not organized at all. hands out a lot of papers on case briefs 3 days before she would use it. pointless class. i haven't learned anything in this class. i didn't buy the textbook. group work presentation is so vague. she uses her own political opinion with her nonsense lectures.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. I have her this semester and it's the worst. Please do not take this class, save yourselves. All of her classes are unorganized, she is never prepared, her pps are a mess, she wrote the book but it makes no sense, she isn't straightforward with what is actually on the test and is very vague with her essays and assignments.

Comment:

Nice person in general. Essay questions on tests are not clear at all, with many discrepancies. Readings are long and tough and the tests are worth so much, which makes studying extremely frustrating. Lectures are long and boring, with meaningless pps. Obvious she puts very little time to organize class. Once again her essay qs are SO VAGUE.

Very knowledgeable about case law. Provides study guides- which are great for studying for her exams. Too many group projects required in her class.

Comment:

The group assignments in her class I though was the most interesting part. Other than that her class was really boring. In fact, a lot of her lectures I found irrelevant to the exam. Just read the text and remember what you can. Do the study guides and you will pass. She doesn't explain her exam (as in the spring 2014 she changed the format).

Comment:

Super nice and super helpful, but you HAVE to read the text. And the study guides are really helpful in boosting your exam grade! Attendance on in class activities will give you an automatic 10% so show up to class! I wouldn't say it's an easy class but if you keep up with the semi- heavy work load you'll do great!

Comment:

Jessie is very knowledgeable about her field. The material she teaches is very dry; however, she tries to incorporate interesting cases. She posts study guides online which are very useful for exams. All the exams are multiple choice. Don't really need the textbook. Overall, a good professor but a boring class.

GREAT professor, really knows law and is willing to take the time to explain it to the class. Super smart, puts a lot of effort into teaching and expects the same from her students. If you're into law, by all means, TAKE HER CLASSES

Very nice lady, really knows what she is talking about. Seems a tad unorganized but overall she was helpful. Easy marker on everything EXCEPT exams! Don't blame her for being boring - the content of the material isn't the most entertaining. Two group projects - in my opinion one is enough.
