Comment:

This class is a lot of work. Reading is necessary to get a good grade, and it's pretty fast paced. There are three papers that are annoying to complete, but not hard at all. Offers up to 10% (a whole letter grade!) of extra credit. She is very into her own subject and that ends up rubbing off on the students. Lots of movie clips as well.

Comment:

This class is hard or easy depending on how much work you put to put in. The papers are annoying but she is willing to help you on them so you can get a better grade. Also her tests are hard you need to keep up with all the readings and still study a minimum of 3 hours to do well on her tests. Offers alot of extra credit though

Comment:

Attendance is mandatory, not too much reading (a few easy to read books-not textbooks), and essay/short answer tests. Loads of extra credit opportunities. Mitchell is extremely friendly and eager to help. the class focused on poverty, hurricane katrina, and latin American migration to the US in terms of social justice.

Comment:

This class is pretty awful. There are roleplays and weekly quizzes. The class itself isn't bad, it actually is pretty fun and you think you are doing well until the midterm. It's 40 questions from 6 chapters of extensive information. Class average was a D and she wouldn't curve. Her A is a 95% and she doesn't round up. GPA killer.

One of the Best teachers at JMU! I have never met a person as willing to help her students and explain unclear material. You have to put in the work, but she is always willing to help you if you just ask. Interesting discussions, interesting assignments... make sure you attend class regularly

Comment:

So I signed up for this class thinking that it would be an easy A. Throughout the semester the class seemed easy and I had a solid A going into the final. After studying 6 hours for the final I ended up getting an F. The class average for the final was also an F. With that said I ended up getting a B- in this stupid class and didn't learn a thing.

this was my favorate class by far. She uses blackboard a lot. All assignments are passed in electronically. There is a discussion board assignment, and regular hw assignment due every week as well as 4 papers due throughout the semester. She posts all grades on blackboard. easy to contact. TAKE THE CLASS!!!

Comment:

She's definitely the nicest sweetest teacher at JMU and really interested in you as a person. Too bad she really doesn't know the material she's been handed to teach about justice in philosophy and law. I left class feeling warm and fuzzy but somehow not quite sure I learned anything.

Comment:

She is relatively easy, however, this is not just a "come to class and get your A" type of class. She wants her students to do well, however, you have to put the extra effort in for an A. Easy B, not so easy A.

I can't agree more with what you said below. Run. And fast---that is if you desire to learn something from a competent professor. Class is a cakewalk, but for the first time in my life I was still unsatisfied with that.

Comment:

Great course to pad your GPA 'cause as long as you show up and act interested you'll do well, but if you feel like you should be learning something, RUN, don't walk, RUN AWAY! Real nice teacher, except she can't teach the subject, just repeats superficial stuff from the intros in the reader.

Comment:

Dr. Mitchell is a nice lady, but she's out of her league teaching intro to justice studies. I don't know what her background is, but it's clearly not politics or philosophy. Her lectures sound like she prepped for them by reading a Dummies Guide. She means well, but doesn't know what she's doing.

Comment:

This lady has no idea what she's doing in justice studies and should go back to whatever department she came from. Her lectures vary between pure BS and by the seat of her pants mediocrity. DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS WITH MITCHELL, you'll find yourself behind those who took the other two professors.
