Comment:

Based on my personal interactions with her and ratings from other students I would say she's a good Professor, however SCREW CJ 303! (Research Methods). Hopefully in the future she takes steps to make this class less of a headache, because man it is a nightmare. So much to do with little time and a lot of confusion as to what needs to be done.

LOVE Dr. Massey. She truly care about the success of each student. She is very prompt at grading completed assignments. She cares about the opinions of her students and encourages open discussion. The tests are very fair and if you study, you will do very well. This is my second class this summer with Dr. Massey and she is the best!

I LOVE Dr. Massey. She is my favorite CJ professor. She is tough but study and you will be fine. Also if you are having problems go to her office hours for extra help. Dr. Massey used to work in a prison so she tells a lot of real-world stories that relate to the problems you are talking about in class.

She is a great teacher, the one thing I will say is she focuses WAY too much on racial problems, and not just when in the corruption chapter. However, overall her class was fun to take, she offered extra credit and (most) of her quizzes were online, her tests were not. She does not like cussing so if that's your thing tone it or get kicked out.

She will create a study guide with you during class, but do not expect any of what is on the study guide to be on the test. She will allow some of the students to discuss things in class that has nothing to do with nothing. Be prepared to wear a jacket, if you are warm natured because it is always cold. She posts her quizzes online really late.

She is very knowledgeable about what she does. She often relates humorous stories from her past experience when lecturing. You will NEED the textbook, and you HAVE to show up to class. An A is possible, but she will make you work for it. You will come out of this class having learning something though. I highly recommend taking classes wither her.

Lets be honest, Dr. Massey knows what she's talking about and is a good teacher. She just treats this class like an upper division class. READ YOUR BOOK, pay attention in class, and do every single Connect assignment and you'll pass this class fairly easily. You have to take the class upon yourself, though. If you don't, you will fail

Dr. Massey is great. Wish she was teaching CJ 220 next semester, I would so be in that class. She tells really good stories, which are so much better than reading out of the book. However, be aware that she does have discussion questions on the tests, be prepared for those they are graded harshly. But beside that the tests are do-able.

I have had Dr. Massey for 3 classes now. She is one of the best professors at UT. DO NOT expect an A. A's are earned not given. Does require more work than other CJ teachers, but the work is appropriate. If you actually want to learn something about Criminal Justice she is the professor to take. Very helpful

I've had her for numerous classes and she is by far the best one. She really knows her material and really wants her students to learn. If you need help, just ask. Do the work required, read the text, and take notes. Her classes aren't easy, but if you do what is expected you will do great.

I enjoyed her teaching method, she allows stu to dialouge with her yet you learn the material just by her guiding the discussions. Her test are difficult but study and you can pass. The only thing I didnt like is occas. the class was outofcontrol & a stu was very disrespectful 2 another stu,paper wads were thrown @ sleeping stu, no act was taken

The Best actual "Teacher" on the campus. all you have to do is ASK for help and she'll be there for u. her classes are intresting and you actually learn more in her class than you do in all of egans classes put together. she's the reason that i'm still the same major i am.

Do not get on her bad side. Attend class everyday. If you are sick you better have a note if not she will think that you are lying. Explains things well. However, she is horrible was sick for 2 weeks and had doctor's notes. Would not let me make up test bc it was the day after excuses.

Very helpful and understanding. Read everything that is required. Attendence is a major issue. Participation is expected, but don't worry you'll want to. Wish I could take all of my CJ courses from her.
