Betts is a great guy. The material is not always interesting but his personality makes going to class worth it. You are only graded on 4 tests and the class average is usually a C so you definitely need to study. You dont need the textbook but it does help to study for the exams, so I would suggest getting it. Overall, a good guy and would take

Honestly my favorite professor here. Last day of class he did a juggling act just bc he wanted to entertain us. Tested money for cocaine residue. Watch CSI clips. Tells stories of crimes that relate to what the lecture is about. Attendence isn't mandatory, but it may boost your grade if you don't miss that many classes. 10/10 would take again.

HE IS AWESOME, I am taking his class now and he is a really nice guy who really knows his stuff. He kept class fun and entertaining. Even though it wasn't in my major I really enjoyed the class. I might take him again if I can. Bravo Professor Betts. I am taking his forensic science class and I am not sure the code

Hands down the best professor I have ever had. While his material and exams are admittedly challenging, I am walking out of his two-part analytical course feeling as if I've known the material for years. Always willing to discuss anything, understanding of personal troubles, and all-around excellent - engaging, honest, and beyond helpful.

This was possibly the best professor I had in Kutztown University. He would sit down and explain anything you need help with a thousand times and never give up on you. He only had 4 exam grades. So pay attention and study! He really cares about your education and his lectures are so interesting!

He is an awesome professor and the sweetest guy. He understands if you're not a science major and makes things easy to understand. He does interactive stuff and makes lectures interesting. Attendance isn't mandatory, although he does take it every class, but being in class will help you understand the material. I would absolutely take him again!

Really sweet guy. Knows what he is talking about and is very willing to help. 4 Exams, Multiple choice. Tests aren't difficult but you do need to study if you want to pass. I think most people enjoy this class because he understands that not everyone is a science major, and doesn't expect a ton from his students.

Awesome professor. I definitely recommend this class if you're a CJ major. Lectures are interesting and he's great at engaging with the class. In order to pass you have to pay attention, take notes, and study but i highly recommend him. He's extremely helpful as well, will further explain things if you don't understand, and is readily available

I have taken a class with Dr. Betts before and it was a great class. He WAS a great professor. During this year there was an extremely noticeable change in his personality. He has become a negatively sarcastic individual who is extremely disrespectful of students. Want help? Get ready to have him treat you like an idiot and ridicule you.

Amazing professor. You won't want to miss class, because his classes are so engaging. One day we tested money for cocaine residue. Another day there was a fake murder set up. Would take class again.

He is very passionate about this class. The test are easy, but you have to actually do the homework and defiantly take his practice quizzes cause those are always questions on the exams. He also lets you retake one exam. Would recommend.

Dr. Betts is an extremely energetic and helpful professor. His class is interesting and the topics are too. The questions for the exams come straight from the optional quizzes and the HW from each chapter. Dr. Betts is one of the best professors I have taken.

OMG take him! he's an excellent professor, and i wish Kutztown would hire more professors like him. He makes every subject interesting even if its boring, he would try to engage you in the topic. Attendance is not mandatory but he uses examples in class that will make you remember it for the exam

He is an amazing prof but my opinion always changes from hating to loving him. He is really helpful if you don't understand something, but he tends to be anal about certain things. If you take analytical be sure you are prepared because it has 2 3-hour labs a week. If you have to take analytical you should take it with him.

Dr. Betts is great. If you can take one of his classes, do so. He made a sometimes boring subject fun and interesting, and you will learn a lot from forensics. Exams are not overly difficult and the class is organized very well. I wish all professors at Kutztown were this quality of teachers
