I took this class as an elective, but I got lucky with choosing the right professor. I go by class day and time when I register. Professor Friday has a passion for teaching. If you don't understand something, he will do his very best at making sure you understand.

He is very passionate about CJ. Most lectures are very interesting. You need to read textbook and attend class to answer all questions on exams. 20%-30% of exam topics are not included in lecture. Does not provide power points online. Take good notes. Know your Bill of Rights. If you read and show up to class you'll do fine.

It was a fun class, he has a tendency to use language during his lecturers but he means well. Really a nice guy and wants students to do well. MUST READ! He will emphasize that but it's true. Don't read and you'll struggle. He makes what can be a dull subject interesting. If you want or need to take this class, take it with Paul Friday!

Great instructor! Really enjoyed his class. Had no prior interest in Criminal Justice outside of crime shows and only chose this field because I had to have an outside concentration. I would recommend this instructor to anyone! He is funny, engaging, and a really interesting person overall. Show up, pay attention, and you can make a good grade.

Enjoyed Professor Friday's Violence course. Very passionate about his students and what he teaches. But he goes VERY FAST on the ppt so we usually take pics of the slides. Tests are pretty straightforward but he is very precise on what he wants. Overall great course. Should be able to make an A or B if you take good notes and study hard.

No clicker questions. It's a pretty easy class as long as you go and take good notes. Uses ppt, but they are NOT on moodle. No HW. Book is not required, but he does pull test questions from the book. He has interesting stories since he actually works in the field and he is kinda funny.

Wonderful teacher! He really captured my interest in the CJ system. I recommend you take him; He truly cares about his students and the grade that they receive. Attendance isn't mandatory but trust me, you will not get a good grade if you don't go to class. I received an A but you HAVE to read the book to pass. It's really easy if you try.

Dr. Friday is very very very knowledgeable and fair. He knows a lot about the Chinese legal system. Although attendance isnt required you should go because he acknowleges you for coming and takes it into account as far as your grade goes. Exams were the same thing as the study guide, but in essay format. you'll appreciate and learn a lot from him!

Loved this class! He doesn't take attendance but lectures are interesting and test material comes straight from some of what he says. Also, be sure to read the book. Required a lot of studying, but worth it!

Cool class. Tests are easy if you actually study. You have to read the textbook because 25% of the questions come from the book and aren't even mentioned in class. Most essay questions come from the book also. Go to his office hours, his TA let me do corrections on a couple of my exams when I went. Easy class if you study.

I really liked this class. It opened my eyes to the way our system works along with other CJ systems worldwide. If you understand his lectures and make a note of what his important points are then you can pass this class. Its important to understand what he is saying and interpret it in your own words. Oh and exams are in essay format...

My favorite prof at UNCC. He's loud and all over the place. You take tons of notes and the exams are exhaustive. However, I remember everything from his classes.

Comment:
I hated him. He entertained himself in thinking that southerners are ignorant and the all mighty people from the north will lead us neaderthals out of the stone age. I would NEVER EVER recommend him. He thinks he is the best thing to ever happen to Criminal Justice. Truly, I feel sorry for those who have to consider him a coworker.
