Michael Weller CCJS340 Expecting an A Anonymous 11/13/2024	Captain Weller is an awesome guy who loves his profession and teaching about it, and it really shows in his lectures. He covers a lot of information in each lecture, he engages the class in discussions, and he is very funny, which made the class very enjoyable. He offers a good amount of opportunities for extra credit, and his exams are online and open note. Also, the group presentation is nothing groundbreaking; as long as you put in an effort and you don't read off the slides verbatim, you'll do just fine.

At times, it was difficult to follow because the slideshows were a little disorganized and redundant. However, he engaged the class in relevant discussions every class and made the learning very interactive. There are only three grades for the whole semester: a midterm, 15-20 minute group presentation, and a final. This can be a positive or negative depending on how you look at it. Exams are open book and online.

No mandatory attendance, but the PowerPoint are not super helpful, we did spend like two weeks talking about management vs leadership which I still struggle to find relevant. You can tell he is a kind person who cares about his students but he goes off on a lot of tangents and many lessons fail to relate back to policing. I'm not totally sure what I learned this semester. However, it is easy to do well in the class as the exams are straightforward as long as you carefully read them, plus he offers extra credit. We did convince him to put the final online.
