Professor Bowman makes the class interesting and fun. He points out in the lectures what would be on the test. He provides notes, but you'll have to add a few things of your own. The only thing he grades is the midterm & final, which are open notes. The course is an easy A as long you show up and pay attention to his lectures.

What else is there to say, he's an amazing professor and I wish he taught more classes! This class is not an easy A but it is a very attainable A. Go to lectures and take notes and you will be more than prepared for exams.

He is one of the best professors at SDSU, he makes the 3 hr class go fast! His lectures are so interesting and you learn a lot. The class consists of one midterm and a final and it is open book and easy. You must attend lectures to make sure you have notes. I definitely recommend him for CJ320 and I would definitely take him again.

This professor made 3hrs go by really fast. He is hilarious. His lecture are real-life experiences in the court and engaging. I highly suggest taking this class. He worked as a prosecutor and he is currently a judge. Best professor I had on this campus.

Judge Bowman was an incredible professor. Attending his lectures was fun and very engaging. COVID-19 caused the class to switch online which was a huge bummer, but he still managed to make it as engaging as possible. If you want a career in the Criminal Justice system, be sure to take him. If you don't, you're missing out on something special.

The first professor I ever had a crush on. He is hilarious and passionate about what he does and teaches. It is hot when he talks about his cases and just everything about it. Sadly I am only two years older than his daughter, no pues wow. 10/10 would recommend.

If you're a CJ major, this class is a must-take. He's hilarious and makes the 3-hour lectures go by super quickly. Lectures ARE MANDATORY TO ATTEND - he doesn't take attendance, but if you don't go, you're not gonna know what to do for the exams at all. Genuinely one of the best classes and professors I've ever had at SDSU. Learned a lot!!

This judge is on FIRE! Bomb lectures, really helps absorb the material which can be tricky and difficult to understand. Cool guy, very respected in job and by students. If you're a CJ major definitely take this class you will learn a lot about criminal law. Very awesome class!

Hands down one of the best professors that I've had. There are only two tests and they are kind of tricky but if you show up to class and take notes you will be fine. 100% do all five of the extra credit case briefs it will bump you up A LOT! He also curves your grade. I got a 71 on both my exams and got an A in the class. He is also really funny!

Professor Bowman is a great teacher, he's hilarious and drives the point home so that you understand what he is trying to teach you. He gives a midterm and a final based on a 40/60%. However, he does give extra credit which can be difficult, but if you do them all your grade will go up by at least a half of grade.

Professor Bowman is passionate about teaching his students the most important material in the course. He's very funny and likes to tell stories and give examples that help his students more effectively understand the course material. If you pay attention in class and take good notes, you'll likely get an A.

Best professor I've ever taken. He's hilarious! So lectures are never dull. Your grade is based 40% on the midterm and 60% on the final. Do the readings and study the CALCRIMS and you'll be fine.
