Looking back on my 'Boro days, I can honestly say that Dr. Criswell was abysmally inadequate. Guess his almighty text book wasn't selling, so he thought he could get his student mules to buy it.

Dr. Criswell is a fantastic professor. His assessment class was superb, and the other professors need to take his course so that they know how to actually write a test! It was such a true pleasure having him this semester. He taught me so much and definitely prepared me for my future as a teacher!

Dr. Criswell is one of Edinboro's best!! He will definitely give you great ideas for the real world of teaching. I've been teaching for 7 years now and still think of some of the strategies I learned in his class.

Dr. Criswell is awesome - one of my favorite professors! His class was interesting, the assignments were easy and the tests were pretty simple. I would love to take another one of his classes.

I learned so much in Dr. Criswell's class. He is very clear about what he wants. He stresses the key points that he wants you to remember throughout the whole semester. I would take him again in a heartbeat!

When I asked why he graded my test construction like he did and had some questions, I was directed to a page in his book. However some students I spoke with were awarded their points back on the very same thing I questioned him about. This also happened with the second test. Favortism?? I hope to never have him again.

He is a lot better than his wife. He tends to be a little unclear with his test. But what is really bad, the favortism he shows toward certain students, it is so blatantly clear.

Dr. Criswell is so friendly and funny- I had him for an extremely easy class, but I could tell that he was a good professor who is compassionate about students. I would take him again in a heartbeat. It is a good thing that he is such a friendly and helpful professor, though, because I can't see anyone else putting up to being married to his wife

He needs to retire. He was very unclear all the time and the tests were unfair. All he does is brag about how awesome his book is and how you should buy more of it. He's extremely opinionated (go figure)

Assessment has been a very enjoyable course. He is very knowledgeable about the subject. His workload is very student-friendly--along with the textbook. I don't think one has much choice with who to take, but there should be no worries with Dr. Criswell.

He is the most amazing man! I am not sure I have met a person yet who dislikes him. He is funny, smart and kind. Go to him if you have a problem, he will listen, give you his honest opinion, and make you laugh. A great judge of character, a wonderful teacher. Make sure you take him.

Dr. Criswell is in my top three favorite professors at Edinboro. He makes everything interesting and never expects you to know something if he didn't teach it to you. I learned a lot, and his book is filled with his humor so it's easy to read. He's one of the best professors at the University, definitely take him if you can!

Dr. Criswell rocks! His jokes are corny, but he keeps you interested. I had him for a night class and he held my interest for the whole 2 1/2 hours... not that he ever really kept us that long. He's an awesome prof and I'd definitely recommend him! =)

He's one of the greatest teachers in the whole world! I never wanted to miss his class even when we had a snow day. I didn't do hardly anything and I got an A in the class. Make sure you study for the tests, sometimes the questions are a little tricky.

I love him. He is the best professor ever-you will learn a lot from him, and he expects you to turn in good work. If you need advice you can talk to him too. Plus, his humor makes him so sexy! I don't know what it is but I know that if he were a little younger, I would ask him to marry me.
