Quiz almost every week from a chapter in the textbook, but nothing hard. 3 issue reading tests which are also manageable if you read it and 3 exams which aren't too bad either. Definitely want to take him, he's an awesome guy.

There just aren't enough o's in the word 'smooth' to describe this class. Seriously, one of the best professors I've ever had. Great sense of humor, and I swear this guy has forgotten more about theory, criminal justice, and policing in general than I will ever know. As a bonus, the ITTC classroom was much nicer than Sabin Hall. It was all good!

Featherstone is a funny guy with all his voices and stories. Criminology and Juvenile Justice are good classes, not too hard, but he gives essay tests.

Awsome. You could't ask for a better professor. Great sense of humor and makes class enjoyable. Everyone should be required to take his classes. I would vote him as teacher of the year.

I LOVE Dr. Featherstone!! He is SO awesome. Funny enough to make class a good time, and professional and intelligent enough to learn a lot. His classes were my favorites and he wrote me an awesome recommendation letter.

Quizes are extremely easy. Reading sucks but read everything in detail because the tests ask very detailed things that WILL get missed with skimming. Easy B

Not a bad class. He is pretty funny and he knows what hes talking about. If you do the reading, its not bad. Theres a paper, but its pretty easy if you just follow the guidelines. One of the better professors at UNI.

funny guy, especially when he tries to hard... quizzes are super-easy, attendance counts with several excused absences allowed, two of the four tests are hard. do the reading (i didnt) and it will be easy.
