Comment:
One of the best professors that I have. He's such a genuine person who really cares about his students. In no way is his class easy but if you have any questions, he is more than willing to help. He makes a hard topic extremely interesting and I wish I could take more courses that he teaches. He also likes to juggle.

This professor is very entertaining so lectures are fun. Theres lots of homework/quizzes but he gives you 6 attempts to do them and theyre due before each exam so you have plenty of time. Exams are relatively easy as long as you study and do the quizzes.

Really interesting class and a fun guy - just very lecture heavy and if you skip class you won't pass. He posts slides online but going to class really helps. He also posts mini quizzes before the tests - TAKE THEM! The material is kind of hard to understand if you do not go. There is a book but you don't really need it if you go to class.

As an elective for most people, this class is unreasonably difficult. The only grades you get are 4 tests that the class averages a 75 on. So if you're looking to get a C in an elective, sign up for this class.

Awesome professor. Makes you work for it, but ultimately you are just working to learn the material for yourself. No a class that you can BS your way through. Would absolutely take again.

Dr. Betts is overall a good professor, but there is little things about him that are annoying. Such as being picky over lab reports and other grading materials. Also, he claims to be open to all questions but actually gets annoyed at you at times because he thinks you should know something you never used. Overall, a nice guy and wants you to learn.

Betts is a great guy. The material is not always interesting but his personality makes going to class worth it. You are only graded on 4 tests and the class average is usually a C so you definitely need to study. You dont need the textbook but it does help to study for the exams, so I would suggest getting it. Overall, a good guy and would take

Honestly my favorite professor here. Last day of class he did a juggling act just bc he wanted to entertain us. Tested money for cocaine residue. Watch CSI clips. Tells stories of crimes that relate to what the lecture is about. Attendence isn't mandatory, but it may boost your grade if you don't miss that many classes. 10/10 would take again.

HE IS AWESOME, I am taking his class now and he is a really nice guy who really knows his stuff. He kept class fun and entertaining. Even though it wasn't in my major I really enjoyed the class. I might take him again if I can. Bravo Professor Betts. I am taking his forensic science class and I am not sure the code

Hands down the best professor I have ever had. While his material and exams are admittedly challenging, I am walking out of his two-part analytical course feeling as if I've known the material for years. Always willing to discuss anything, understanding of personal troubles, and all-around excellent - engaging, honest, and beyond helpful.

This was possibly the best professor I had in Kutztown University. He would sit down and explain anything you need help with a thousand times and never give up on you. He only had 4 exam grades. So pay attention and study! He really cares about your education and his lectures are so interesting!

He is an awesome professor and the sweetest guy. He understands if you're not a science major and makes things easy to understand. He does interactive stuff and makes lectures interesting. Attendance isn't mandatory, although he does take it every class, but being in class will help you understand the material. I would absolutely take him again!

Really sweet guy. Knows what he is talking about and is very willing to help. 4 Exams, Multiple choice. Tests aren't difficult but you do need to study if you want to pass. I think most people enjoy this class because he understands that not everyone is a science major, and doesn't expect a ton from his students.

Awesome professor. I definitely recommend this class if you're a CJ major. Lectures are interesting and he's great at engaging with the class. In order to pass you have to pay attention, take notes, and study but i highly recommend him. He's extremely helpful as well, will further explain things if you don't understand, and is readily available

I have taken a class with Dr. Betts before and it was a great class. He WAS a great professor. During this year there was an extremely noticeable change in his personality. He has become a negatively sarcastic individual who is extremely disrespectful of students. Want help? Get ready to have him treat you like an idiot and ridicule you.

Amazing professor. You won't want to miss class, because his classes are so engaging. One day we tested money for cocaine residue. Another day there was a fake murder set up. Would take class again.

He is very passionate about this class. The test are easy, but you have to actually do the homework and defiantly take his practice quizzes cause those are always questions on the exams. He also lets you retake one exam. Would recommend.

Dr. Betts is an extremely energetic and helpful professor. His class is interesting and the topics are too. The questions for the exams come straight from the optional quizzes and the HW from each chapter. Dr. Betts is one of the best professors I have taken.
