Comment:

Munson is everything one would want in a professor. He is extremely knowledgeable, funny, helpful and the class is truly interesting. I'm a Freshman majoring in something totally different and this class doesn't count towards anything however I'm SO glad I took it as it was my absolute favorite. Best professor at WSU so far!!!

Comment:

Great Teacher!!case summaries were very time consuming but if you do exactly what he wants you will get all the points. Only has 4 exams which are multiple choice with short essays and you are able to drop one of your exams.I would HIGHLY recommend this class and teacher because it was very interesting!!

Comment:

Very good professor. He has real life experience with law and still practices it aside from his job teaching. He explains the confusing and boring parts of the law in a way that makes it very easy to understand. So going to class will actually benefit you. Munson and Norman are the two best criminal justice professors. Take them if you can.

Comment:

Easiest 300-level class I've ever had. His expectations for high achievement were minimal. It was enjoyable and he allowed for choice on final paper/presentation. Exams topics were laid out the class before which made for stress-free multiple choice exams.

Comment:

The class was very easy. Tests are all scantron. He drops the lowest one. You have one paper to do, which was also very easy. He puts all of his powerpoints on D2L. He has around 4 random attendance days. You do a couple activities in class. Tests are pretty easy. You just have to study a little bit for them. Great Professor.

Munson knows what hes talking about and makes class fun. He has a good sense of humor which makes class go by more quickly. Tests are fairly difficult but hes lets you drop your lowest test score.

He's a great guy, take any class you can from him. You use the book for everything, but it isn't too hard. Just do everything and show up to class because he goes over the court cases. Tells you exactly what to study for the test.

Munson kicks a**.... Take ANY class at all from him that you possibly can. He's so intelligent and has a great teaching style. You'll learn a ton. Tests are a little bit tough... but it's SO worth it just to be educated by this man!

He is a great prof, who is clear, gives good concrete examples and has a lot of relevant information to give to his classes. I personally take him as often as possible (Intro to Soc, Intro to Crim Justice & Criminology)

He was a great prof. I took the class for "filler" credits and it almost made me want to change my major! Study for the exams and you'll do fine. Court observation paper was very easy as well. Watch out for that saxophone, you'll hear it in your sleep!

Dr. Munson was great! The lectures sometimes weren't always interesting, but he mixed things up and really wanted the students to get involved and take an intrest in his class...he is great!
