Comment:

He is a good professor but a little lazy when it comes to doing his part of the work. He never answered anyone's emails, he made us grade each other's papers so he did not have to read through 15, 20 page papers to check for grammar. The debates are challenging so do not take him if you are afraid of public speaking. He expects a lot of discussion.

Comment:

his expectation are 2 much for an 8 week online global learning class. The program is geared toward working individuals & the concepts, (yes even 4 a Master's program) can be learned and absorbed without , 6 discussion posts, a 4 page paper & 2 reading group posts per week. Not to mention 3 major papers all in 8 weeks. not designed for 8 weeks

Comment:

His online class was a roller coaster. We had at least four assignments due each week on Monday's. One good thing about the class didn't start until about halfway through the semester. However, when asked about clarification of his assignments or emails he would take a while to respond. Not to mention his grading can be very inconsistent at times.

Dr. V was my favorite L&J professor at Rowan. His seminar class is fun and he actually makes you want to learn about the issues, keeps everything interesting and teaches you a lot. Easy class if you put in the work and a very nice professor, too.

Comment:

Prof. Vigorita is a great instructor, Class consists of weekly debates on current issues and trends in Criminal Justice and a Research Paper. Debates are pretty straight forward from the book, and your knowledge of CRJ issues. Start your research as soon as possible, and you should be able to walk out the class with a decent grade.

this guy was horrible. do not take his class. he never really explains himself and just says you will learn about it later and never showed up to his office hours. take someone else especially if ur a frosh. treats it like a 400 level class.

Not clear on what he talks about.. always says you will hear about it in crim law. being a transfer it was boring being i had all this previously. not knowledgable to what he was teaching. don't ask too many questions cus he won't know the answers. if u go against him he wil try to make u look like an ass. be able to back it up. not hard to do.

I had him freshman year for survey to criminal justice, he was an awesome professor and I would take him again. I learned so much from him and it helped me a lot in my other law classes. If you like learning from class discussions, he is the professor for you!

Dr. V is the greatest. I love taking his classes and I love hanging out in his office. His classes are tough but just listen and you don't even have to read. He's such a hottie.

Tests are directly off the notes. So take notes on what he talks about (it gets boring) and youll get an easy A. You get to have a notecard on the tests. Assignments seem hard when you start them, but if you try youll get the points

this is the best professor. he's quirky and not exactly "by the book" but i think it keeps things interesting. one great thing about him is that he actually wants his students to succed. if you have any questions after class... he's more than happy to help you out.
