Hybrid class (h.w. and quizzes are online) Easygoing professor, looks intimidating at first but really isn't. Very approachable, you learn a lot of helpful things in this class. NO FINAL OR MIDTERM. Gives you answers to quiz questions in class so show up!!! EASY A

Apart from his teaching style, he really does care about his students. The one and only caring professor I've ever met. He should be respected. I highly recommend to other CJ students at PCC.

Jim loves to tell his students the truth about the Criminal Justice system. That's what I love about the class. We have GREAT discussions as a class also.

Wow, Mr. Parks is the best for any criminal justice class. I've taken all of the classes that he teaches at PCC. Come to class, take notes, and you will pass. He makes the class interesting, and is very knowledgeable of what he is teaching. I wish Mr. Parks taught more classes, because I would take them all :-)

It's a shame this guy doesn't teach more classes. If you can't enjoy any class he teaches and get an A at the same time then you are trying to fail. Show up, do the work and you'll get along just fine.

A wealth of knowledge, very very qualified to teach this class. All answers to weekly quizzes given throughout class time/lectures. I didn't follow the online reading very closely and still got an A. Be interested and participate and you'll do fine.
