This is the worst professor that I have ever had in my whole college career. Stay away from her class because she does not bother to teach the concepts and she is unwilling to help you out if you get stuck. I cannot believe she is allowed to teach Finan
Doesn't respect questions, doesn't curve, doesn't help...whatever she is supposed to do, she DOESN'T do it. 75 questions per test. Quizzes every class that are impossible to pass.
She is such a nightmare~~~~~. She did survey but never taken any suggestions. She never taught in the class. otherwise, she asks you to study (preview, review)by yourself. Her tests are so picky. The questions are not focus on anything. Bad Bad Bad~~~~
Only take this professor if you have no other option. The test are entirely too long and do not even bother trying to do well on the quizes. I study for this class alot to get and have a B. Junior level Finance should not have to be this way.

Wihout question the most miserable experience I have yet had at this school. Lectures are rambling and unfocused, 2/3 of class dropped, and prof openly insults class and uses intimidation to motivate. DO NOT TAKE, if only option, take class diff semest.
If you are academically masochistic, enjoy a low GPA, and hours of unfocused, rambling dictation, you will enjoy this prof. If you like being treated with the same acute sarcasm as this review, take this class. And do it again, many this year will.
Good teacher but assigns work as if that is students only class. A lot of busy work but she is fairly easy on grades. Must show up to every class. She will offer help but can be a witch about it when you actually ask for help.
Assigns as much homework as possible, most is pointless. Don't ask for help unless you want to be humiliated in front of everyone. Don't take her if you have any other classes, you won't have time for them!
worst professor I've ever had. Test are rediculusly hard. Generally makes class much harder than really is. Don't take her for any class!
A lot of work in class, but you also learn a lot. Overwhelming at first, but then she gets slack on grading. You must come to class and must be on time. Extra credit is given which helps a lot.
If everyone who needs to take this class agrees to NOT take her class, perhaps she will decide to not teach UNCC anymore. Under her instruction, this is by far my most unpleasant experience ever while attending UNCC. Dont waste mom and dads $$$
This is a great writing/talking class if you want to learn and be a good writter in the business world. There is a lot of grammer/spelling that will bump you down a grade....so beware!

Prof. Kane could not have been more helpful. She helped me when I needed more exam time & made suggestions to help get my test scores up. She is giving extra credit points to help the class. If you need help, talk to her. Tough class but she's great!
THis instructor is the by far the worst that I have ever encountered, She IS NOT teaching the class, she merely is a proxy for a dummy Proffesor. 40 percent of the class didnt fail the first exam... She failed at effectivley teaching us the fundamentals
She is the only teacher that I have ever known to take more points off your test grades for her mistakes. The other reviews are right you can maybe get a "B" if you decide that you no longer require sleep and can study 24/7.
If there are any positive comments in this forum for this teacher, you can be sure she is writing them herself. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE, DO NOT TAKE ANY ON COURSE WITH HER! You have been warned.
I thought that the teacher did well given the material she had to teach. She gave plenty of "extra" chances to improve your grade. The tests were from the text, however to make a good grade you MUST read and understand the text! Don't expect a c
Picky grading, tricky questions! No passion for teaching. Just passion for making students miserable!! Glad that I was not one of those students she randomly chose to torture all semester! Still had an awful semester. DO NOT TAKE HER!!!!!!
CRAZY HARD!Read every page in the book.Pulls questions from random statistics throughout book.Finds a random student she dislikes and makes life miserable.Made a B, but worked harder for it than I did making an A in Calculus.
worst teacher ever, i hate her so much just thinking about this class makes me cringe, DO NOT TAKE HER, YOU WILL BE SORRY
Excellent teacher! I like her style in which she teaches. I would not recommend taking her if you do not plan on doing a lot of work, although the work is not that hard that she assigns. She gives extra credit opportunities to help the students out. Recommended for those who want to learn.
Great professor!!!!!!!!!! I really enjoyed her class!
The worst teacher ever, non stop projects and home works....do not take her if you are planning to graduate ...I HATE her & I will HATE her as long as I am breathing....
Why?Why does she continue to teach?Because she enjoys it - at the expense of your college career.Be forewarned.The other negative comments you read have concrete merit and are not without reason.Anything positive you read is from her - period. AVOID THIS TEACHER OR YOU WILL BE SORRY.
Whatever you do stay away from this professor for any class if you still want to have a job or take other classes. Her class will consume your entire life just to struggle to make a C. You've been warned. I agree that any positive comments have been submitted by her.

Great teacher, but requires a lot of work. Mostly the works seems like busy work but its any easy grade. Very understanding and really cares about her students. Take her class and you'll come out prepared for the interview process!
She's a great teacher. She helped me out alot in the class understand the material easier. VERY EASY to get in touch with outside of class. If you do what your supposed to you can get an EASY B+ out of it.
No Comments
Has lots of energy! Very informative and willing to work with you to better your understanding of material. "Two thumbs up"
She's a really good teacher. She gives a lot of work, but let's you know in advance what it is. Really easy to get a hold of outside of class. I really enjoyed the class.
i'd give it a "duh duh duh!" from mind of mencia. seriously, it's the easiest class i've taken, it just takes up a whole lot of time that should have been spent on my major classes.
There is no way that you could take this class and any other ones at the same time! non stop projects and papers. glad its over with. hardest grading teacher at UNCC. nit picks every single word you write. The only thing out of it is a resume. you will work your ass off, and nothing counts more than 10% of your grade. 90 question tests suck
WORST TEACHER EVER!! If she dosen't like you game over man game over. I got a B in the class and I nearly had to sell my soul to do it. She says communication is so importaunt and yet most of my class ended up hating her. If you dont have to dont take her.
Seriously, I do not see what all the fuss is about. So, there's a lot of remedial homework and she's direct! Sorry folks, but that's the real bus. world! The hardest thing you will do in this class is the Bus. Report! Beyond that, the exams are cake, she's extremely helpful and you will gain tons of real-world useful bus. comm. knowledge.
There is a lot of work, but most of it is really easy and doesn't take long. Is very straight forward about everything. Will try to trick you on tests, so make sure you study little details. Otherwise, class was pretty easy as long as you do the work and go to class.
Ms Kane is very serious about the material. Very professional but I really enjoyed her. Only take if youare an upperclassman and are serious about you grades. Otherwise she will Filet you.
Mrs. Kane is a very fair instructor and is not very hard. There is a lot of work involved but everything she requires is outlined in the book. The tests are also straight from the book. I made an A with no problem. Be prepared to work... but this is one class where you can actually apply what you learn.
Kane is a good teacher & will help you if you dont make stupid comments and speak professionally. Material isn't hard, but tests are somewhat difficult. 3 tests, (5 ch. each), group presentation, 4 quizzes, & 2 current articles. I recommend her, but you'll have to work for your grade. Lots of opportunities to bring your grade up though.
Good teacher but anal about everything. Group Projects, she encourages creativity and class participation, but if you dont abide by her rules then its no good, no matter how hard you try. READ the chapters and STUDY the key words. Tests are kinda tricky. But if you show up to class and read you will do fine. And be Professional!!!!
Too concerned with minor details. Tests are extremely difficult. First B I have made. Only A's prior. Tests are much more in depth than is ever even touched on in class.
Most test questions are derived out of the book. Be sure to know not only key facts and definitions but trivial ones as well. Lechtures are nothing more than her making up stories that she knows damn well never happened in real life but keep smiling because if she doesn't like you, you're grade will show it so avoid her bad side like a porcupine.
Prof. Kane is great because from her class I learned such as all of her examples, homework, quizzes, and Keirsey website. They were useful for the exams. Overall, Prof. Kane is great!
Her tests were extremely difficult to study for regardless of anything she says. She expects you to read every page of the textbook and remember minute details that will never help you in real life. She is very upbeat and its hard to fall asleep in her class however, towards the end i hated her shrieking voice and avoid her for all other classes.
Too difficult and some of the student comments appear to be her. Tests were crazy hard and had 70 plus questions
Seems to pick favorites pretty early on in the class. If you plan on talking a lot and reading the book before class, take her and maybe you will be one of these favorites. If not, I'd avoid her.
People either love or hate her. Do what you are supposed to do and you will be fine. First impressions are her deal... get on her good side and stay on it. The book was actually interesting. Classes and discussions are interesting. Do your studying for tests and quizzes. They can be tricky. I REALLY liked having her as an instructor!
Her test are crazy hard 70+ questions. The class should not be this hard. Most companies are going to have to retrain you after her class. She is not up to date with current techniques and relies on old HR ideas. Ms. Kane needs a serious update/throttle back to this class. Way too intense!
Mrs. Kane was one of the most difficult teachers I have had in my entire college career. With that being said, I'd like to add that she was also the most informative and accommodating. She truly wants her students to succeed not only in her class, but also in their careers. PS- Read the book! It will help you out tremendously on tests.
You actually have to read the book. The class discussions are interesting, but everything you need for the tests comes from the book. The tests are hard, but I stress... read the book. I feel like overall she really does want her students to succeed. She is very professional and 'politically correct,' and I respect the way she runs her classroom.
I don't understand why people say that she is a difficult professor. If you read the book, come to class, and study like you are supposed to, then you will make an A. Not hard at all, definitely an interesting class, and I did learn a lot. Most of the test material comes from the book. Class attendance isn't mandatory but she does take attendance.
This class does require you to be present and to read the chapters in the text. If you read the text and pay attention in class, the quizzes and exams are easy. If you have question, ask and it will be clarified. Mrs. Kane is very helpful especially for those who seek assistance.
Professor Kane is the best professor I have had at UNC Charlotte. She knows her material. She is very professional and have high expectations of her students. If you are lazy and do not want to work for your grade, do not take her course. Test are easy if you read, She is always willing to stop doing what she is doing to help you. Best professor!
This is a tough class. She expects a lot from her students. 3 exams and a few quizes. If you do not attend class or come late, your Professional image grade will be affected. She does write down your time. She uses name cards to identified and yet she never learns your name. I read and study a lot but the class is still hard. Be prepared to work
Mrs. Kane is an amazing professor, really helpful and professional. To get a good grade, you just need to read the books and come to class, not a big deal. And for the people complaining about the number of questions during exams: seriously! 70 questions, it's nothing, you're not in high school anymore...
She is a very strict prof. And you do have to study textbook for her class. If are not prepared to study don't take her as you will fail. She knows her subject and makes classes interesting. Have to be prepared for every class. Got an A. Read every chapter before class to get on her good side :)
I have had professor Kane for MGMT 3140, 3241, and 3260. If you study and do your work, then you should not receive lower than a B. Getting an A isn't hard either. She is extremely helpful inside the classroom and during office hours. I highly recommend this professor. She truly enjoys teaching, and you will benefit tremendously from her class.
She is moody and can take her frustrations out on students. She will grade assignments based on if you are on her good side or bad side.
Worst professor I've ever had. She is the real life version of Professor Umbrage in Harry Potter 5. She talks down to students like they are stupid. She doesn't help anyone, she just places blame and offers no clear solution. She made multiple students cry in her class. Do yourself a favor and stay far away from this teacher.
The comment about her being like Umbridge is spot on. I'm typically an A student, but she so far has been my only B. Her slides are straightforward, then the tests throw curveballs, and are incredibly long. She has this "Professional Image" grade, which is subject to her impression of you, along with attendance. Avoid at all costs.
For regular students only- Don't take her because the best grade you are going to get is a B most likely you will get a C or D. Her tests are about 80 questions and some questions are pretty confusing. She is exactly like that teacher from harry potter For over achievers- this class will be great for you take her
You either love her or hate her. Personally she was one of my favorite three professors at UNCC. Very vibrant and passionate about her subject. If you respect her she respects you and I felt like she treated me very professionally. Basically show up to class and participate, like any other class, and you will do just fine.
Missing high school? Take this class. The material is college level; the professor is not. She has little respect for students and an I'm-always-right mentality. You have no idea how you did on team assignments until the end of the semester. If you study, tests, assignments, and team presentations are easy. You just have to deal with the prof.
Mrs Kane is a brilliant professor that has a lot of inside knowledge of the in's and out's of management. She can help you with your professional development in her class and you can learn what it takes to be an effective leader. I thoroughly enjoyed this class-it was very engaging, challenging, and worth the effort. Every lecture was inspirational
If your goal is to find a professor that will give you an easy A without truly learning the objectives, please do not waste Mrs. Kane's time and expertise. She was the best professor of my entire college experience. She will do anything to help her students learn course material. She is tough, but she cares a lot about her students.
She's absolutely horrible. She's not the worst professor I've had but as a person, she definitely is. She's condescending and makes you feel like an idiot. She changes due dates and then forgets, and blames the class for not turning assignments in. Class is pointless. Her tests are nothing but vocal words from the chapters. Should be online.
This class is simple if you put the work in, but the professor has a lack of respect for her student's. Any time I would ask for help, she would give me a hateful remark. She is sarcastic and quite rude. If you can handle this, then you can manage in every other aspect. Just be sure to actually read the book. It is imperative to passing her exams.
The class is somewhat confusing when it comes to structure and grades. Ultimately if you work hard and listen to her advice you will get something out of the class. If you take this as an ordinary class, and don't put in the additional effort you probably won't do well.
Tests are easy. Memorizing the definition helps but it won't be on the test. She uses examples and you choose the word that it describes. All multiple choice. Her lectures aren't your typical boring PowerPoints. Lots of interaction which I enjoyed because i hate LECTURES. Some students hate her personality i think they too picky
Took for 3140 & 3260. You either love her or hate her. Truly cares for students. Stern. Wants you to succeed but you must work for it yourself. Tough grader but if you actually work like you're trying to get a job after college instead of just biding time, it shows in your work & she sees that. READ THE BOOKS--Non-negotiable. Attendance mandatory.
Professor Kane is a no nonsense teacher. She tells you exactly what to expect and takes no excuses. Her exams are extremely difficult and not based on her lectures. She will always ask you to talk about something you learned in class that was not on the exam and that is the only time you can get credit for listening. Read the book and you will pass
Ill look back on Ms. Kane and describe her to people as "adversity" that I learned to overcome. Take that as you will.
Honestly one of the worst professors I have had at UNCC. She ACTS like she is willing to help students when talking to the class. But when you go to her for help she is rude & doesn't care. I am an A/B student and am struggling to pass her class. Gives a study guide but doesn't help. Test are confusing, puts 2 could be right answers. AWFUL TEACHER!
Ms. Kane is a good professor, but do not take her if rely on powerpoints and lectures to prepare for a test. Reading and taking notes out of the book is a requirement for the way her tests are set-up. I've also found her to be helpful if you contact her and have never seen or felt some of the disrespect others have mentioned personally.
If you want your grade given to you don't take Kane. You will WORK for every last point in her class. You do however learn a lot you just have to get past her rough demeanor first. I've taken her twice its never easy but if you are in business at UNCC you will likely HAVE to take her at some point. Just show up and be PROFESSIONAL!!
Honestly, shes a good professor, but a terrible test maker. If the tests werent so hard then the class might actually be enjoyable. About 5% of the class will get As on the exams and 25% will get a D or F. Dont be late to the exam either or shell kick you out of class
i enjoyed her lecture but her test are really hard and confusing you have 3 test and 3 presentation and 5 quizzes no extra credit, if you make any move in the class she will get upset so don't make noise, she say attendees not important but she have a sign sheet every class at the begging and after brake so be there,it was a struggle to make C
She thanks shes smarter than anybody and make you feel like an idiot. Her test are too hard. Shes not willing for everybody to pass!
THE WORST BUSINESS PROFESSOR ON THE CAMPUS OF UNCC AVOID HER AT ALL COST TERRIBLE CLASS LITERALLY WILL GIVE YOU A 55 QUESTION EXAM WHICH IS GRADED SO HEAVILY WITHIN 45-50MIN OF CLASS TIME. HATED THIS CLASS. SHE WILL BE-LITTLE THE CLASS AS A WHOLE AND COMPARE YOU TO HER OTHER EXCELLENT CLASSES. IF YOU DONT RESPOND, SHELL MAKE YOU GET UP & STRETC
Kane seems passionate about her students abilities and wants to encourage them but does not let her students succeed. She is very knowledgeable in her field but must understand that her students cannot give everything she wants them too. She says she will teach us to our capacity not comfort but fails to realize students have limits. Do better UNCC
This was one of the hardest classes that I have had to take in college. The material was not hard. Kane makes sure that you are reaching your full potential. I have gained so much from taking her class. And I can use this in my future career.
I understand a professor attempting to make their class difficult to simulate a business environment, but she attempts to make her class difficult simply to prove that her class is as important as other major related courses. If there is another professor teaching this course, I recommend doing whatever is in your power to get them.
Very regimented professor who can become outright rude if her schedule is at all disrupted. She tries to make her class as difficult as possible and treats students as if they are in grade school. Attendance is said to not matter, but she documents it every day and will hold lack of attendance against you. The easy content is made difficult.
