I'm going to start a series of posts about teaching criminology in the coming days. Criminology (at least right now) is the class I least like to teach. While my student evaluations generally have been favorable; I don't have any sense that they are learning much in my class.
tonight's class was an unqualified disaster; and I knew it would be going in. While bad classes are usually attributable to me, I think in this case the problem is equally attributable to the content.
In anycase, I plan to use this blog space to re-think the course and organize it in a way that leaves me satisfied that the content is acceptable, even if the delivery leaves something to be desired.

I was wondering if you could give me some advice: I'm thinking about doing an online degree in criminal justice at a program like here: ( Online Criminal Justice Degrees). Do you think these programs are a good idea?
If all you want is the credential, why not. I'm fairly cynical about the concept of "on-line" education generally; but other people who are smarter than me think it works.
