CRJ 225: CRIMINAL LAW – Hybrid (Class Number 2513)
This course serves as an Introduction to Criminal Law and is
a great course for students seeking a career in Criminal Justice or as a
Paralegal or even eventually as a Lawyer.
The course is concerned with the components, purposes and functions of
criminal law. Included in this course is a study of criminal liability,
including the elements of various offenses and the rules of evidence. As a hybrid this course offers the best of
both worlds, you meet one class period per week with the instructor and the
course material for that week is discussed during the class period. You then have the flexibility to complete one
online discussion forum per week outside of class and you have a short online
quiz to be completed each week prior to the next class meeting. There is no final exam for this course. Students who have completed this course have
appreciated that the work load is spread out, that they can see and ask the
instructor any questions and have a chance to discuss course material as a
group but that they then have the freedom to complete the one weekly assignment
and the weekly quiz outside of class at a time they choose to do so. Students have noted an appreciation for the
consistency, organization and flexibility of this course.
CRJ 227: ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE - Hybrid (Class Number 2767)
This course serves as our Constitutional Law course and it
is a great option for students seeking a career in Criminal Justice or as a
Paralegal or even eventually as a Lawyer. This course is designed to acquaint the
student with the legal principles applicable to important criminal procedures
that involve force, arrest, search and seizure, civil rights,
self-incrimination, assistance of counsel and other aspects of Constitutional
Law affecting law enforcement officers.
Most students who have completed this course have had CRJ 110 or Prlgl
110, many have had CRJ 225 prior to completing this course. As a hybrid this course offers the best of
both worlds, you meet one class period per week with the instructor and the
course material for that week is discussed during the class period. You then have the flexibility to complete one
online discussion forum per week outside of class. For this course there are no
quizzes or exams. We focus on the
discussions in class and in the weekly discussion forum online. The material available for discussion is
relevant, interesting and students who have completed this course have appreciated
that the work load is spread out, that they can see and ask the instructor any

CRJ 230: COURT PROCEDURES AND EVIDENCE – Online (Class
Number 2406)
We tend to refer to this course as simply EVIDENCE and
whether you intend to be employed in a Criminal Justice career, as a Paralegal
or eventually as a Lawyer, this course is one of the most beneficial courses
you can complete for all areas of the law.
This course is designed to acquaint the student with the kinds of
evidence and the rules governing the admissibility of evidence in court,
including the effect of court decisions on the acquisition and admissibility of
evidence, and while we focus on the criminal procedural steps from arrest
through conviction, the rules apply just as well to Civil actions. Most students who have completed this course
have had CRJ 110 or Prlgl 110, many have had CRJ 225 or other Prlgl courses prior
to completing this course. As a completely
online course, this course offers the ultimate opportunity in flexibility as
long as you are disciplined enough to meet the well defined deadlines. The course content is so interesting that
students are more likely to go far beyond the minimum expectations for the
course. There is one online discussion
forum per week. There are no quizzes or
exams. Students have noted an
appreciation for the consistency, organization and flexibility of this course,
most referring to this course as being
right up there with the CRJ 227 course as their favorite CRJ or Prlgl courses
outside of the CRJ or Prlgl Internship course.
