Comment:

i had Dr. Toggia for intro to criminal justice and he was one of the best professors I've had so far my freshman year. His grading was clear and it was easy to understand what he expected. He was very nice and was easy to talk to outside of lectures. If you take good notes and pay attention youll be okay!!

Absolutely loved him. I had him at 9am MWF and loved coming to class, lectures were really easy to follow along with. Quizzes and tests are mainly on the notes taken during class. Some of the material on exams are also from textbooks, it's good to read over the chapters. He was super caring and always answered questions, would definitely take again

Comment:

Great professor, his lectures are pretty entertaining for a MWF class at 9:00, he's great at what he teaches considering he's been doing it for 10 + years. He's always accessible outside of class if you need help but other than that, tests are normally easy if you pay attention in class, read the textbook minimally and take notes.

Comment:

Senior Seminar is no joke, regardless of professor. I think he is probably the best professor to take it with. Follow directions, ask questions, and do the work and you will pass! He understands life gets in the way sometimes but you have to be honest with him. Class is only once a week, so no crud you should show up.

Class is easy if you go. He teaches in powerpoints but he doesn't post them on D2L so you need to go to class to see them. He has 4 multiple choice tests and 5 fill in the blanks quizzes. As long as you follow the lectures, they'll be easy. Never bought the book. He did an extra credit quiz on the last day.

Professor Toggia is one of the best professors in the criminal justice department. You don't need the book, all the information on the test is from lecture. He gives 5 quizzes and 4 exams. Exams are pretty easy. He is passionate about his work and makes class super interesting. overall, I would recommend taking him.

Professor Toggia is hands down the most passionate professor in the criminal justice department I have had so far. He has a big heart for what he does, he really cares about his students. Tests are simple, there are no curve balls. Didn't use the book once. Tests are lecture based. Would take again 10/10 recommend. Go to class & take notes

Toggia is the best, hands down. He is so passionate about CrimJ and it makes the class so interesting!! His lectures are long and heavy but he makes it so captivating that I can honestly say that I was worth the hour and 20 minutes. His tests are easy if you understand what is going on but he makes sure you do. TAKE HIM!!!

Awesome prof, he knows exactly what he's talking about and how to teach it. If you're unclear about any materials he'll happily go back and answer any questions you have. Also points out exactly what will be on exams and quizzes. Lectures are also really interesting.

Be prepared to read the entire book but such is expected out of an online course. There are 4 tests 100 pts each no study guide. The class is out of 500pts so tests make up most of it. No extra credit even though half the class was doing terrible. email him and he will be sure to belittle you. 2 essays and 5 discussions

Sort of has an accent but nothing too distracting. Tests are pretty easy if you study and other assignments are easy grade boosters. Gets off topic sometimes but makes it clear what notes should be studied and which shouldn't.

He was very helpful from day one. I suggest you read the chapters, they are not long and they were pretty interesting. It will make a difference in your test grade. He did his best to keep everyone's attention but college students like to sleep some days. He was funny and I would have him as a professor again any day.

The BEST professor for CRJ!!! Only has test but the test are VERY straight forward. Classes are very interesting. He does not post powerponts so you should come to class. I will defiantly recommend and take him again and again!! If you need help he will help you out. He loves when students participate in class.

As a CJ major I find this class very fun. Lectures can be fairly long sometimes but its not horrible. If you take notes from the powerpoints and read the book you should pass fine.

powerpoint lectures are super boring, you just copy what's on the board for the entire time. tests are hard, you actually need to study for them to get a decent grade. the highest i've gotten was an 84. he takes attendance every class.

Comment:

I am currently taking the course online. I have done all the assignment and read all the chapters but it seems impossible to pass as a winter course. You have to write an essay each week, 2-3 chapter test, and discussion papers. There is no power points online to guide the students. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE IN THE WINTER, don't make the same mistake.

I really enjoyed Dr. Toggia's class. The tests are easy as long as you study and pay attention to his powerpoints. Attendance is very important, missing a class can back you up, and missing powerpoints will affect your test grade. Overall he is a very good professor, has easy test, and is not boring.

I've taken him for an online course. It involved a lot of textbook reading, with multiple books. He was not helpful. Requires a lot of essay writing & if you have questions about what he wants in the essay, he doesn't answer e-mail right away so don't procrastinate. He did however offer me one make-up test for when I was ill and missed an exam date

Very intellectually sound professor. I really enjoyed his class this semester. If you study thoroughly tests will not be an issue. Book is more of a point of reference, not needed for class.
