Best Prof I have ever had! He is hilarious. Class is super easy, he gives study guides for every exam (It's basically just the lecture outlines). There's no power points, he individually explains everything you need to know, with interesting real life examples. You right own research paper but it only needs to be two pages long. Take this class.

He is not as easy as everyone says he is but he isn't too bad. He is a cool guy, has a lot of stories from being in the Secret Service. He is beyond helpful and as long as you pay attention in class you will do well. If I was a CJ major I would try to get him as much as possible because he is a great guy.

Easy easy easy class! I highly suggest taking it, and with Grossenbacher. He is a great professor and makes the class interesting. Attendance isn't mandatory but I always wanted to go to class and learn more. Don't buy the book, I got an A in the class and didn't use it

Professor Grossenbacher was the best! Easy tests, all multiple choice/true false. He makes study guides, and tells great stories about his 30 years experience in the secret service. He's a great professor, take him if you can! He makes me happy I chose this as my major.

This professor was my absolute favorite this semester. He makes this class really interesting and always makes sure that his students get everything he's teaching. A genuinely nice guy and has great stories from his 30 year career in the Secret Service. He's inspired me to pursue a career in criminal justice.

Great Professor. Wants his students to understand the material, answers questions that the students have. I don't recommend buying the book. I got A's on my tests without reading it. He also tells interesting stories about the Secret Service and responds to emails promptly. Take him if you can.

I loved this professor! He is very knowledgable in the subject and has great stories as a former member of the Secret Service. I had some family issues during the semester that made me miss class and he was very understanding and gave me plenty of time to make up the work.

best professor for CJ. He's so intelligent and has such great stories that relate to each topic. Such an enjoyable class. MUST get him if you can. No homework, tests are so easy, and the final wasn't cumulative.

Well this was an easy class, but I really liked the class and definitely the professor. He had many Secret Service stories and had a twisted sense of humor that I liked, also he mentioned the Sopranos in class, which is always a good thing. The tests aren't too bad at all and he grades easily on the paper if you follow directions, take himforCJ 101

Grossenbacher is the best! Get this prof if you can. Very helpful, he wants you to do good in his class. His stories about the Secret Service are so cool. Only 3 tests, 1 final, and one small paper (2 pages). You will not regret taking this class!
