Comment:
I would strongly recommend not taking this class. Speaking to my experience with Barreto online, I can tell you two things: 1) He teaches nothing. It's all "fill in the blank" reading assignments (easy, but you don't learn anything) and 2) He will not Email you back, no matter how many times you email him. Incredibly unresponsive and unhelpful.

Unresponsive to emails, not engaged in class (never sends any emails or updates regarding the course), tests and assignments are old. This class and all other criminal justice classes he teaches are set up for students to fail.

Comment:
This professor is horrible. He doesn't respond to emails and the tests don't correspond with the material in the book. A test will say it's over Chapters 7-9 and really have questions from multiple different chapters.

I have had good grades throughout my life until Barreto. The material in the book does not match the material on the test. Even if you study you'll still likely fail a test or two. I emailed him about the material and he never responded.

Comment:
I took 206 and 201 with Al and I've never felt so lost during a class. I took the Ferris equivalencies of these classes and learned more in one class period than I did in an entire semester with Al. His tests don't line up with the test materials because his book is older than the one he assigns for the class, so you're set up to fail.

Couldn't care any less if you actually learn in his class. Is not helpful with questions or problems. Actually rude. Hasn't updated his syllabus or assignments in years...same dates from 5+ years ago on some materials. Homework assignments confusing due to his lack of interest in teaching. Really unfortunate 'cause this could have been a cool class

As long as your read the book and pay attention in class it's not too hard. He is not an easy A, his class is a challenge.

A very intelligent, creative, insightful and helpful teacher. Deeply experienced in his field, he is very knowledgeable about his courses and what it takes to succeed in criminal justice. Great courses, great discussion, great instructor. 15/10 for Al!

The good part: Work at your own pace, take the tests whenever you want, all at once even. The bad part: Juvenile distance learning class was basically all done by the publisher. The tests were all timed and written oddly & tricky. You could tell the instructor put zero input into the test and almost as little into communicating with his students.

I didn't like this teacher because all he talked about was his cop experiences from the street. The only time he really talked about the educational material was the day before a test.

Comment:
Online class - The assignments are easy, but tests are timed multiple choice and have all the above. All the above questions, on a timed test should not be completely wrong. You are rushing through and pick the first one that u read is right. So some bad tests.
