David Salem CCJS418D SunnyMD 12/08/2022	Professor Salem is a friendly, uber knowledgeable professor. Don’t let the other reviews scare you. His upper level course, CCJS418D, was more immersive than any other CCJS course I’ve taken. He discusses everything from R Kelly, to rap lyrics used in criminal trials, to Theranos. With each relevant topic, Professor Salem captured my attention and explained, in detail, a variety of legal implications. Is the class structured like other CCJS courses? No. Is it difficult? Yes. But… that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take it. There are more than enough opportunities to excel in this course, starting with the pop quizzes. There are 5 total, one every 2-3 weeks. They are 1 question. You have a minute to respond. And while that seems daunting, it’s not if you pay attention to and understand the lecture material. There’s no homework, no outside readings, just lecture. And the midterm exam and final project were very fair, and there’s a natural grading curve. Overall, take this course if you really want to learn about new evolving legal issues. You won’t be disappointed.
