He was hilarious. It was a fun class. His lectures are somewhat helpful but tests are pretty much based on the book.

Comment:

I don't think he cares much about his students..he seemed more wrapped up in his research. The CJS major at UTD is not very good. Hard to find a decent job in the field especially for minorities. Very difficult to get in contact with him as well. He only gives papers for his classes no tests. I felt as if he didn't even read some of my papers.

Always has interesting comments in class, very direct and opinionated. Negotiable assignments to some degree. Wants to interact with students, prompt with emails. No tests, just papers.

Comment:

Anyone who can't get ample help from Doctor Tracy should probably consider a career as an invalid. He is direct, always observes office hours, and helpful to no end.
