Thank you so much for putting these videos out. You’re great at breaking down and describing the information in a way that’s easy to comprehend. I just started college again at 31 through my work union and am going for criminal justice online. I think I am struggling due to the way the class is run as all we do is read the text, get a PowerPoint link, take a quiz each week and only assignments are discussion posts and 3-4 paragraph essays. As an ADHD student, the lack of professor involvement, no lectures or videos or anything, not even textbook questions, makes consuming and processing the info so difficult. It helps me a lot to hear someone else discussing it like you are, somewhat casually, instead of super formally or like the way the book has it written out. Its so hard for me to pump out multiple writing assignments weekly when there’s nothing going on in the class to help engage us or make it interesting and help us process and apply the info in order to write the assignments. It feels like I don’t even have an instructor at all.. and it’s not even a self paced program!! Sorry for the story, haha, but I just wanted to thank you because some of your videos have really helped a lot and I hope you continue posting more of them!
I am so glad you find them helpful! I have lots covering various topics in criminal justice/criminology, so definitely check them out at your leisure or as you need them. I am disheartened to hear that you have instructors that structure their classes this way with so little involvement. Do feel free to reach out to me directly if you ever need something specific explained in a way that is not too "textbook-y" and if I can help you, I absolutely will!
