THE BEST PROFESSOR AT GV!! THE MOST AMAZING HUMAN BEING IVE EVER MET. If youre a CJ don't gradate without taking a class from her! She has amazing life stories that go with lectures, takes time to get to know every students name and things about them, she's also a great person to ask for future job or grad school references as well.

Dr. Bailey is an absolute ray of sunshine. Honestly, one of the best human beings. She is so inspirational and made me want to be a better person from just this one class. I will for sure look to have her again in the future.

Dr. Bailey is by far my fav prof at GV. She is such a good person and radiates inspiration. This class teaches so many valuable outlooks on life that everyone should know. Dr. Bailey always used past experiences to help us understand content. A few exams, journals and attendance is graded. This class was my fav and I'm so glad I had Dr. Bailey.

Kathy is incredible! Her lecture days could be slightly unorganized, but she posts the power points online. Not many assignments, just a couple tests and short journal assignments. Lots of opportunity for extra credit. She is so understanding, flexible, and forgiving, and truly cares about her students and wants to help. Definitely take her!

Dr. Bailey is honestly the most amazing professor ever! I had the privilege of taking both of the two classes she teaches and would take every single class with her if possible. CJ420 was awesome; CJ 495 was only a 6week class so it was very compact but she does her best to make all of the work manageable. Don't pass up an opportunity to take her!!

If you are interested in CJ or something related, it'll be your loss if you graduate without ever taking a class with Kathy. I have taken 2 classes with her. My capstone and CJ 420. Both were great experiences.

I took Dr. Bailey for weekend class in CJ 420. She has an incredible amount of knowledge in the field and tells good stories. She is one of the kindest and fairest people you want to meet so long as you are honest with her about things. The first exam was difficult but she took feedback from students on it and changed up the format. Excellent prof.

Dr. Bailey is by far the best professor I have ever had the privilege of taking a class with. She is so kind and caring, yet funny and insanely knowledgeable. I was sad when her class was over; I thoroughly enjoyed her lectures and loved her as a person. The journals were kind of annoying and very personal, but I would take her again in a heartbeat

Dr. Bailey is so far my favorite professor. Even if you're not going into juvenile justice, she really inspires you to care more about that population. Exams are okay, but you do have to write a lot. So if you actually study, you should enjoy your time with her and get a good grade! Do purchase the small book, as she asks questions from there.

Dr. Bailey is the hilarious! This class however was exceptionally hard. You are only graded on 6 things. She uses a lot of past experience in her lectures and goes off on a tangent easily. Her power points aren't clear, they are choppy & hard to understand, but if you want a class where you will laugh a lot, take the Department Head, Dr. Bailey!

Dr. Bailey is by far the best prof I've had at GV. She cares so much about the class and she lets you know that each class. She has so much knowledge about the topic and its obvious when she is teaching. I would 100% take her again!! She's the best!

I absolutely love professor Bailey. She is fun and so intelligent. Lectures are far from boring. I hope to have the opportunity to her again. She clearly communicates her expectations. She has so much knowledge and experience to share, and does a great job doing so.

This instructor is very passionate about any topic that comes to juveniles. She is prior intense probation officer. The class is very interesting. Her test are not that bad as long as you read the assign text. Do not choose the past phase class it will stress you out.

She is so inspirational, caring, real and knowledgeable. You learn about the field and about yourself. Classes are mandatory but you will want to be there. After a 3 hour class I still didn't want to leave. Tests are easy if you study, she focuses on the important info. no tricks. take her. worth your money hands down
