Lasley is the best. Choose the alternate version if you love yourself. Take notes, study before exams, and you should be fine. He's awesome and always tries to lighten the mood with his little jokes. Just a great guy overall. 11/10 recommend.

Amazing CJ professor. He gives the option of an alternative midterm & final which also includes a workbook you have to buy and answer the 100 questions at the end (very easy) or the traditional midterm & final which includes a pretty long term paper you have to write. You only need the required textbook if you are choosing the traditional method.

amazing CJ professor. I loved the class so much that I'm now taking him for as many classes I can for Spring. he's extremely educated on the topic and uses a lot of personal experiences/ stories which make the class more interesting. zoom isn't required. just posted powerpoints 3 times a week. 3 exams, 1 paper or workbook, and 1 extra credit quiz

His exams are open notes (no proctorio). We only meet through zoom a few times in the semester. He posts the lectures online. He offers a lot of extra credit! Lasley will always be one of the funniest professors!

Amazing prof! Super easy class. Took this class during the pandemic (so it might be a bit different), but consisted of a midterm, final (which was T/F), and a workbook that has 100 Q's. The workbook was about $75 dollars. He does give you the option to write an essay instead of the workbook. TBH I did not really attend class and managed to pass!

He gives a workbook that you have to purchase and turn in at the end of the semester. Show up and take notes and you will pass.

Gave you the option to either buy the text and write a paper or buy a workbook and turn it in at the end of the semester. very throughout on his lectures and his story telling is hilarious, attendance isn't mandatory but if you don't attend, you won't get the power-points. Goofy guy who has tons of experience in the field he teaches.

3 tests (including final) and 1 workbook or essay depending on your choice. Tests are entirely lecture based with notes from the slides and things he says. Attendance is not mandatory though. He curves HARD. Funny guy.

Lasley is one of the best professors in CSUF. His lectures are good and informative, he does give several opportunities for extra credit and does give his students the option of how they want the class to run throughout the semester. He is also extremely funny.

Lasley is one of the most laid back professors at CSUF. This class is structured like most of his classes. 3 exams, 1 workbook (complete 5 analysis for extra credit) Really interesting class I would recommend for anyone interested to take it

Great professor. He has worked in the field for many years so he has some stories every now and then. He loves talking about jail culture. The tests seemed easy and he curves each one by at least 10%. There are two paths to the class: one with a workbook and the other a ten page essay. The essay path uses the textbook and the workbook uses lectures

This professor is one of the best professor!!! He is clear on exactly what expects from his students! Passionated and hilarious professor as well. If you fail his class, it was not him it is you! Very simple assigments and tests that you will obviously have to study for but it is something anyonecan do if they put it the effort! Awesome professor

Prof. Lasley is the MAN of the CJ department. Best professor! He has a bunch of stories about his time working in the Criminal Justice field and is very funny. He does not post the lectures online. Class consisted of 3 tests and a choice of an essay or workbook assignment. I'd recommend the workbook. Also offers extra credit as well. Take him!

Have to be there in class for notes because the notes will be on the exam. Rewords the exams differently from the powerpoint slides so beware. Do the alternative option for $102 you get a workbook you do at home since it is easy points. Recommend to use a laptop since he moves on from a slide pretty quickly. 3 Midterm 1 Final+Workbook

Choose the alternative route! The questions in the workbook are easy and there is easy extra credit too. His class is not hard but you need to make sure you know everything in his lectures. He usually starts class a few minutes late and lets the class leave a few minutes early too. His tests are 50 questions of multiple choice.

Take his class! You won't regret it. His classes are always interesting and he has a great sense of humor.I took 3 of his classes and I not once got bored in his classes. Make sure to choose the alternative when he provides the choice for traditional or alternative.

Professor Lasley is probably one of the easiest at CSUF. Choose the alternative way of taking the class. Its only 3 exams and a workbook due at the end of the semester. The workbook is only 100 easy questions and he provides extra credit if you do summarize 5 articles in the workbook. Show up to class because the test are based on his lectures.

Lasley is awesome! Gives you a choice on a plan for your semester: 2 midterms & 1 final, everything comes from the powerpoints he lectures on; 2nd option is the same, 2 midterms & 1 final but with this one, you would have to buy the book, your tests are half book/half lecture based and this choice also includes a 10 page paper. Choose 1st option
