Comment:
I loved her for wrongful convictions. The lectures are a little boring but still interesting information. There are short assignments almost everynight but only take a couple minutes to get through. If you act like you care, so will she. She gives meaningful feedback and helps with your paper by turning it in sections to help.

Comment:
This was a senior seminar and should've been discussion based rather than lecture based. She did a lot of talking and focused on a couple topics and rushed through others when theres so much more to wrongful convictions. The class was easy, the small papers were super easy and so was the final paper. Easy A but disappointing for a 4000 level class.

Comment:
She's very knowledgeable & intelligent. Her lectures are very thorough & you will learn a lot from her. That being said, you definitely bave to work for your grade in her classes. Her assigments are very straight forward & she is very easy to meet with outside of class if you have any questions. Every CJ major should take Prof. Rosen at least once!

Comment:
This professor was horrible. Her grading is impossible. She isn't clear on her expectations and will take off massive points on little errors. Have to hand in case brief every few weeks, there is 2 writing assignments and 2 tests. Her classes are all powerpoint lectures and she is kind of rude and belittling.

Comment:
Professor Rosen was the person who comes into class, says what needs to be said and that is it. She was not very interesting, and she goes through her powerpoint slides very fast and won't slow down when asked. She is a tough grader and has you submit everything online. You have to be good at taking notes, taking tests, and writing papers.

Comment:
I would not take this class again. The professor can't hear and is boring and rude. Never try to ask to leave early because she won't let you and will end up not liking you for the rest of the semester. The material you learn is dry you take lots of notes. The class could have potential but, the professor ruins it. Only perk group project final

She is not bad at teaching. She just expects high quality writing from college students so they can excel after school.

Do not buy the book because that would be a waste of time & money. She has some serious race issues. VERY ignorant. Doesn't allow any electronics in the classroom or people going to the restroom. She rambles about nothing. A lot of reading material I didn't learn anything from this class. Worst professor I've had in 5 yrs. avoid class if possible.

her class is mostly powerpoints, her class is easy if you take notes and read the assignments. you'll get a good grade once you read the assignments, show up to class and do the essays. she tells you what she wants in her essay paragraph by paragraph as well.

Comment:
She is not the nicest person, she tends to pick on people. She is very vague about papers- she'll write on the handout that she wants certain things, and if you follow that, you still won't get an A because she will have expected you to read her mind about the other 5 things she wanted, but didn't specify. You have to go to every class.

Do not buy the book. It's impossible to read and she'll explain everything you need from it in class. She gives you very specific structure for papers. Notes in class unnecessary.

Too much effort for a gen ed. Made us buy a bunch of books. Some we used, some we didn't. She is pretty boring but a fair grader for the most part. Makes you go downtown for some stupid paper and than eastern state. take a different class

she puts her students on blast, dont allow you to use the restroom during her class, has race issues and talks for hours and not make her point. office hrs is where she's nice but i recommend NoT TAKING HER especially if you dont like reading long articles and taking t/f quizzes every week sometimes twice a week.

Gives 2 MUCH 2 read every wk for 10 t/f question quizzes!! Dosnt assign much hw & when she does, they are pretty easy and take about 25min at the most. Grading is TOUGH, makes a simple easy paper very HARD, so she lets us re-write it since every1 fails it. Gives quiz EVERY wk. Very BORING. I have an A so far but dont recommend at ALL!

I enjoyed Prof. Rosen. She can be hard, and yes difficult to understand, but she'll help you when you come to her office. That's where you'll win props with her.

She's not as bad as many of these comments indicate. Go to class, participate to your fullest ability and do rewrites on your papers. She makes class hard because she wants you to learn, but she's legitimately a nice person when you get to know her in her office. Take her class, and you'll have an expert in her field teaching you.

She is an ok teacher, but her personality sucks! I had her for Amer. Jury System. She knows her stuff, but she is extremely boring and disrespectful towards students. She will definitely put you to sleep in class. She is very biased in her grading and takes points off without explanation. I would NOT RECOMMEND taking any of her classes!!
