Lectures are given based on the textbook so get it and read it. Three graded assignments: a mid-term, paper, and final. Go to class and take good notes and you'll know every answer to the test. Homework outside of class was one video on Films On Demand every week. He is very passionate, knowledgeable, and willing to help with anything.

Dr. Crowder is not everyone's cup of tea, but he is respected by everyone - and for good reason. If you dispute your final grade, he will be fair and honest. Be ready to be a critical thinker and work hard for your grade. Attend every class and exams will be easy. Do. Not. Take. If. You. Skip. Classes. Try not to take the 3hr class at 8 am though.

I've taken Dr. Crowder for 4 classes. He the best professor I've ever had. I promise you will enjoy his classes very much. He wants you to put effort into your studies, so you will have to put in the work to get the grade you desire. There are two tests and a paper. Make sure you study hard and write your paper well. I highly recommend you take him

He is a good professor. We only had a midterm, paper and final he grades harsh on the paper. Overall great lectures, and documentaries. Attendance is mandatory, and it was overall a easy class. He does tell what info you need to know for the midterm and final. Takes attendance very seriously, if you don't go your grade will drop 1 or 2 letter grade

You will not find a better CRJU professor at KSU! Dr. Crowder is very engaging and funny during his lectures and I have taken two 8 am classes just to have him as a professor. Tests and grading criteria are straight forward. He is a tough, but not unfair, grader on papers because he wants the best from students. You won't regret taking him!

Dr. Crowder is an amazing professor who cares for his students and will work with you as long as you work hard and don't slack off. The material in this class in heavy, and there is only three assignments. Ultimately, he wants to prepare you for a career in the criminal justice field and is very easy to talk to.

Crowder is a cool professor but he is tough with his papers. His midterm and final answers should jump at you if you prepare for them but even then, it can be a little difficult. even though it is a 7 week class, I wouldn't take him again only because he have 2 exams and a paper. Had a B in the class, got a C on the paper. ended up with a D overall

Dr. Crowder is really passionate about what he does and thats obvious. He doesn't just teach you things for you to pass a test or write a paper on, he gives you information that will last a lifetime! Not to mention the guest speakers have been awesome. I already loved being a CJ major, but he really made it 10x better. Work hard, and ask questions!

Crowder is a great professor who can really keep your attention throughout lectures. Regardless of how you feel about his teaching style though, he does provide some valuable perspective on what actually being in the CRJU is like and his experiences. The guest lectures are also interesting. I recommend all CRJU students take him at least once.

Okay professor, the tests are pretty straightforward / not too hard. Only thing that was extremely annoying to me was that he would go off on tangents TOO OFTEN. It got annoying and boring after not too long. There was a research paper and group project, but was not that bad. If you missed 8+ hours of class, you get dropped a letter grade.

I loved Dr. Crowder! His class was so interesting and he was so entertaining. He brings in a ton of guest speakers from the criminal justice field and his classes usually consist of 2 or 3 tests and a paper. That's all you get, but if you go to class and pay attention you'll be totally fine. Best professor I've had by far. Take his class!!

People told me to take Dr. Crowder so I did. It was the best decision! He is very caring, nice, and funny. He is there for you. His stories to lectures are great and he brings in guest speakers. Midterm, final, and a paper. His exams are based on his lecture on the book (easy).

My favorite professor thus far! He's funny, caring and understanding! Always has the best stories and brings in guest speakers all of the time. Lectures consist of reading from the textbook, slides or stories about his grandkids. He turned a business major into a criminal justice major! If you don't leave this class with an A, something is wrong.

Dr. Crowder is the best teacher I've ever had. He cares so much about the material that he is teaching and his students. Instead of just spitting out information, it feels like he is actually training his students for the criminal justice field. I have taken 5 classes from him. If you listen and do the work then you'll get an A.

Pretty easy class. He grades a bit harder than you would expect cause he is generally very laid back. If you highlight what he says in class and study that then you should ace the test (only 2) Research project/paper is tough. Make sure you start working on it early. Overall easy A and fun class.

I loved this class! No, it is not all about serial killers BUT it is very interesting. It's a long course but he gives you a break. He gives really amazing lectures, he is passionate about what he teaches, and I paid attention the entire time. He is old fashioned, so no phones, but honestly you'll be fine without it for a few hours. Take this class

Top-notch professor! Makes you really work for an A on the 1 research paper requirement for all of his classes, but that should be expected. Tests are straightforward (no surprises). Very funny and makes his classes lively with great stories. Had 4 of his classes (+CRJU3312) and would gladly take him again if I weren't graduating this semester!
