Great examples, very friendly, strange at times=WACKY and GREAT Professor

She was great-used good examples and kept the class exciting!!!

Overall one of my best profs

Very nice, clear, and easy to understand. Very organized lectures. Great class!

Fun w/good stories. Is a bit strange, but makes class fun. Exams can be hard.

Energetic, loves what she is doing, so does it well!

Takes time to listen to students, wacky, fun, clear lecture, tests are hard

She is a great teacher, she knows what she is teaching. Her tests are very hard

funny and crazy. She keeps class interesting. Great prof but tests are hard.

tests are TOTALLY different from her lectures.

Explains material very well, Tests easy when know material dont skip class

Class is dificult, but best teacher I ever had

best prof ever had. go to class for easy tests, write down examples given!

Best prof. ever! Makes class fun and says lots of interesting words...

great at teaching, keeps you interested, know the material

tough exams but you learn so much from her

Super-Duper Fabulous.

Great personality, excellent teacher, sexy.

Great sense of humor! Makes a boring subject interesting.

I loved this class......I learned a lot! tests are hard so study a lot

I LOVED her class.......not hard, but not a BS class either, very informative

AMAZING! The class is so informational & the teacher makes U want to go to class

awesome class, take her, tests are hard though

She is a great Prof, she makes you want to come to class and really explains the material. You use knowledge on tests, not just ramble off definitions. Recommend her, and I will take her again!

Shes my favorite prof! Very funny. Tests are even funny, a little hard, but funny. Havent missed a class yet because i actually like going. TAKE HER CLASS IF YOU CAN!

One of the funniest prof.'s, but her tests are confusing. Her vocabulary consists of many swear words.

Great prof! very smart and knows how to teach material

Class is fun but the test suck. Tests are confussing.

very good teacher, yet her tests are hard... shes very willing to help and wants you to understand... her tests are a good reflection of what youve learned... hard, but worth while

Really good professor! She makes the class interesting and fun. Tests are hard,but she lets you know what material to study. Very clear lectures. I actually enjoyed attending this class. She also curves your final grade.

She knows the material & makes sure you know what is on the test, but there's so much info & the way the test is worded makes them hard. Almost everyone though does bad on the test so there is a slight curve at the end of the semester.

Great prof, very entertaining. Her tests are difficult, but multiple choice... you just have to read them carefully. Take her - you wont regret it.

Great class Great Prof Dificult test yet is curved the final is just a combo of test questions and she will always review with you uses bboard and is funny

Great Prof! Very funny and cool. Tests are hard but she curves. The final was just questions off previous tests. Take her, you will love it!

Good prof. You'll learn a lot

Awesome teacher! Willing to go out of her way to help students understand. Tests are not hard if you study for them. Recommend her to everybody!

Good teacher. Take her, tests are hard, but she curves.

What a great Prof. I almost cried when she left for pregnancy leave. Awesome experience with the law and passion for teaching. Relates well to students. If you're a straight A student getting d's, blame yourself. Good notes and an hour studying/test=A.

Very hard tests and a bit confusing on what to study because she doesnt lecture entire chapters so thats kinda confusing. Take good notes and STUDY a lot for tests. She knows a lot and expects a lot, i learned a lot.

she is so so funny, her examples to go along with definitions help you remember when it comes to the test, mostly because the examples are funny

Makes class interesting. Gives good examples in class and uses a lot of the same examples on the test. Usuually curves test grades so don't worry too much.

BEST PROF EVER!! Makes lecture so FUN. Tests are tricky though.

A great class to take,you will learn alot. Never skip class because her lectures are important-she gives good examples that help you apply the concepts in real life and on the test. But be careful the tests are hard and require alot of studying. This is a hard class that is well wortt the effort.

Makes class interesting, very nice and willing to help. Also, she curves tests and dropped the lowest grade in my class. Tests are multiple choice, but they can be tricky, so make sure you study. If you keep up on the work, you should be fine :)

The best teacher I have ever had. She gives great examples that keep the lectures interesting. The tests are pretty hard. As long as you study you should do fine on them. No time needed outside of class for anything but studying. Very interesting class, great teacher, and actually intriguing.

Her tests are hard, but she is very helpful and gives good examples. She is also super nice and really wants everyone to see that the class can really be applied in real life. Just take lots of notes and pay attention b/c the book is way too boring to read.

WATCH OUT for the tests, they kill. Great classes, can get into long dull subjects. On average loved the class and is one of the best Profs that I have had at GVSU

she rules. those who think otherwise shouldn't be in college or need to get a life. you may not always get the greatest test grades, but she pulls all questions for final from old tests. study them in the time she provides before the final and you'll fly through it. great examples. show up 4 class. assignments are super easy, use 2 pad test grades

So awesome. Uses good examples in class and lets everyone get envloved with lectures. Knows a ton about what she is teaching and is very willing to help outside of class. (and post all notes on blackboard)

Do the readings, take notes, get easy B, relatively easy A

best prof. i ever had. extremely clear when presenting the material. exams are difficult but if you study an A isn't impossible. very little homework. mostly reading. extremely nice and personable.

I would say she is probably my favorite and best teacher at Grand Valley. She is very clear in her lectures. They are structed and interesting. Her tests are somewhat difficult but when you get an A you feel like a genuis and as long as you study you should be fine. I got a lot out of this class and would recommend her to anyone.

Great Prof. take her if you can

Great prof!! cares about students will help you out if you have problems. Take her if you have a chance.

I would recommend a laptop for this class. She gives a TON of notes and I don't know that I would have made it without my laptop. Not much homework and the book isn't really used a lot other than for some review questions. Best advice I can give is to take good notes because the tests are not easy, and that is what your whole grade is based on.

Her tests are very tricky. She likes to switch one word so it makes the whole problem mean something else. She is an awesome person and knows what she is talking about when she teaches. It is easy to get her sidetracked. Take very detailed notes and you will be better prepared for her tests. Your grade is only based on tests and a project.

Awesome person. I nevered laughed so much in a class, either. Take good notes, because that is really what the tests are over. I would recommend her.

Don't even buy the textbook if you are going to go to class and take good notes. She tells you everything you need to know. Her tests are sometimes hard but if you think through them and study, it'll be fine. I had her for a 6-9 once a week class and she was hilarious and made the time fly by. I would love to take her again!!

Good prof. I had business law in HS so this was like a review class. Her tests were easy and fun. She's hilarious and knows what she's talking about!

Probably the best professor I have had at Grand Valley so far! Very planned lectures, uses lots of examples for clarity, tests aren't too bad as long as you study hard for them!

I adore Professor Jones-Rikkers! She is absolutely hilarious! I loved coming to this class because she knows her stuff and she teaches it in a way that is easy to understand. Tests are tough, but that is how the law really is. She gives good notes and tells you what to focus on in the book to avoid a lot of reading. She is great! Take her!

By far my favorite class taken here. She has very entertaining lectures, teaches the material very well, and the tests arn't too bad if you know how to study for them. Also will gladly help you outside of the classroom if you have questions. Take this class with her for sure.

Great prof, great class. EVERYONE should take this class with her, you learn so much about the legal world that every citizen should know. The tests can be rough though, but class is fun and interesting, I loved attending.

Great great professor- makes things like contract law and products liability actually FUN. 4 MC exams and a final pretty much make up your grade, so STUDY THE BOOK. Attendance isn't mandatory but it's super helpful because she explains everything you really need to know.

great professor! there's a LOT of material, so u do have to keep up with readings, but she's very funny and entertaining....take her!

Prof. Rikkers is awsome! One of my favorite professors at GVSU. She took us out to dinner for our final at peppino's! What other professor would do that? If you get the chance, make sure you take her!

Great class! She uses great examples that you won't forget so go to class as much as you can. Definately keeps class exciting. Tests can be a bit difficult at first, until you know what to expect, but she does curve the overall grade quite a bit. Study the cases and practice problems she puts on Bb. Take her and study a bit and you will be fine.

She is the best professor in the world. The exams can be a little challenging but if you study and do practice problems you should be ok.

She is very helpful. Gives tons of examples. I only used the textbook for one assignment. She'll give an assignment if a lot of people miss a certain day for attendance. Exams can be difficult, but she tries to improve the scores. Take her for this course!!

Prof JR is awesome! She is very knowledgeable and makes class really fun. I took it as a summer class and got an A without a ton of work. Great examples and makes learning the material easy. One of the best at GVSU!

Very nice and helpful teacher, Tests are very tough, you must fully understand the material, not just know it. You have to really study.

Maybe the best professor I've had at GVSU, she is great. Her lecture is actually interesting and she gives examples from her real life experience. Tests are not hard, you just have to take notes in class. Cumulative final, but all Qs are from previous tests. Highly recommended professor.

She was the best prof. to have for Business Law. The material is hard and there is a lot of memorization but she is interesting and helpful. If you do your work, she will give you a good grade.

She's a great teacher, she has a good sense of humor and she makes it so you don't need to use the book. She types outlines of every chapter and goes through it in class. If you attend class and take notes and study for an hour or two for the exams you'll do fine.

She is AWESOME! Take her if you can. She's hilarious and she makes her class really entertaining. She gives great examples for everything she teaches. Tests are more difficult, you have to know everything really well. As long as you try, you'll do fine.

Professor Rikkers is a very good professor. She explains the material from a standpoint of a lawyer, which is really helpful to have someone who actually has used the stuff before. With a little bit of memorization, 4 Tests, a paper, and Final will fly by. Highly recommend Rikkers or Professor Kessler if she is teaching Bus201 your semester!

Loved this professor, one of my favorites for this semester! Great professor, gives good examples that help you to remember what she is talking about, is very detailed in her definitions. If you have to take a business class, TAKE HER =)

Awesome professor who will keep your attention in class. However, her tests are very hard. I averaged B's on them and they were open note. If you want to learn, take her but if you want an easy A, take Stafford.

She is so funny! I loved her lectures because she really kept my attention and I felt like I was actually learning. Her tests are really hard though. You really have to know how to apply everything you learn.

Great professor. Very interesting/engaging. Uses real world examples on everything. Tests are difficult. Still a great prof though and would still recommend her.

She is seriously the best! Had me laughing so hard in class I was crying. All of her examples are real life based on her experiences with the law or her own life. Didn't get the book and never felt like I needed one. Tests aren't too bad at all, just take good notes with examples.

Professor Jones is awesome! I have 0 interest in the law but she tries to relate it to the students. Her examples are very good and notes are great. I strongly strongly recommend you go to every class and take notes/pay attention. Tests are pretty hard, but not if you study your notes! Definitely recommend her.

Jones-Rikkers was so much better than I was expecting a business law professor to be. She takes really dry material (contracts, torts, etc) and makes it interesting and relevant. She is HILARIOUS too. The things she says just make you crack up.

She is a great professor who really loves what she is doing. She has a lot of eperience in the field and shares her stories in a way it relates to the class and the topic we were learning. This is an extremely hard class doen't matter what prof you have, but if you go into her office she has books to give u for extra practice. Book was rarely used

She was one of the best professors that I have had at Grand Valley so far. She is so nice and HILARIOUS! I would recommend her to anyone! She is a lawyer so she knows first hand how the law works. She takes situations and turns them into relatable situations, Don't buy the book. Tests are somewhat difficult but doable. TAKE HER!!!

She knows what she is talking about but her tests are extremely difficult and hard to study for. Hardest class yet

SUCH a great professor. She knows her stuff, and she makes it easy to listen to. Her exams are super difficult though, and the material on them could go either way. She wants you to find the answer that's "most right." The true and false got me every time. However, I loved the class, and I ended up doing well. As long as you study, you'll manage.

Prof. Jones-Rikkers was by far my favorite professor last semester. She was very entertaining and definitely knew her stuff. Her tests were very difficult though despite hours of studying. She gave students plenty of opportunities to succeed however. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a fun yet challenging experience. You WILL learn.

Her lectures are very funny. Her tests are very hard. She drops your lowest test grade. The final exam is worth 40% of your grade. That is basically it.

Her tests are tough but if you study enough and ask questions and show up to all classes, you will be proud of the grade you walk away with. She is funny and is very fair when it comes to her test questions. The material can be difficult if you don't take any sort of initiative.

She's one of my favorite professors at GV, and that's saying something because I'm struggling with this course. Her notes are super clear, she gives lots of real-world examples to apply the concepts we're working on, and is hilarious to boot. Definitely there to help you and cares about her grade, but her tests are really tough. Study A LOT to pass

She was an awesome prof! So funny! She'd tell stories/give examples that were so funny and they'd actually help me remember the material. The test are tough but not impossible to do well on. The online assignments and in class activities are fairly easy and she also gave us extra credit!

This is my favorite proff so far at GVSU. She is always helpful and cares deeply for her students and if they are learning.

She is a great professor! She adds humor to the class through her examples and she teaches the material thoroughly to make sure that her students understand. Her tests are a bit difficult, only due to some of the true and false questions. She gives some pretty good practice questions to study for exams. She is very approachable and you learn a lot

I loved this professor! Def. my favorite this semester! Her lectures are actually enjoyable. She's hilarious and gives great examples for concepts we are learning. Her tests are kind of hard but if you go to class you will be able to do well since she gives such good examples that are similar to the test. I would take this professor if you can!

I loved her lectures but you really have to work for a good grade. If you miss her lectures you won't do well on her tests. Class is out of only 250 points so it's hard to keep your grade up. Don't take her if you're not willing to put in the work.

Prof Jones-Rikkers is very engaging and hilarious during her lectures. She is very qualified to teach the law but sometimes it feels like you are in law school instead of BUS 201. The whole grade is based on the tests. She does drop your lowest test score but they are very difficult so study the course outline hard. The final was brutal!

Professor Jones-Rikkers is amazing! She is super organized and very clear during lectures. The tests are hard but if you study the notes from class there will be no surprises. There is little to no homework which is nice, but attendance is mandatory to understand the information well.

She is a super nice person and is really funny. You can tell she likes what she's teaching but she makes the course very hard. Our whole class failed the first test and she didn't do anything to try to fix it. There is never really any homework.

Funniest prof I've had, she made lectures so entertaining. The tests are the hardest tests I've ever taken though. But she does virtual office hours every night before the test and they help a lot. Also she drops your lowest test score.

Prof. J-R is a very entertaining and funny professor. Her classes are engaging. However, she does impart an incredible amount of info in them. Exams are definitely very difficult, and require very diligent study. You cannot do well in this class without effort. She is very difficult, but fair. You will learn a lot.

She is hilarious and makes coming to class fun. Her tests are really hard, but she is fair. It requires a lot of studying in order to succeed, but the way she presents the class really makes you learn a lot. She is very nice and always willing to provide extra help. Amazing prof, but the class does require a lot of work. Definitely recommend her

Learned so much from her, grade doesnt show. Grade is basically 3 exams and a final, and she makes the exams near impossible. Be ready to get called on and study, like a lot.

This professor made the class interesting, she is a funny professor and adds humor to about any topic we are talking about. Attendance is not mandatory, but she covers a lot during the lectures so it is important to go. The exams are very hard no matter how much you study. If you are willing to study I definitely recommend this professor.

Favorite professor Ive had so far and Ive been here for two years. Absolutely hilarious and genuinely cares about her students perspective on topics. Little to no homework besides the reading, but she does call on random people in class. Highly recommend!

Professor Rikkers is amazing. She goes above and beyond in her lectures and makes sure everyone understands the content. We had online classes which were super easy if you did the readings and watched the videos. Attendance in class is necessary because she explains the outlines ten times better than the book! You will have to study but worth it.

As a person she is absolutely hilarious and awesome. She cares about making sure that you are doing well, but on the other hand her tests are almost impossible even if you study for them. I highly recommend another professor for BUS201, but if you want a professor who is a good comedian, she is a good choice.

Rikkers-Jones is excellent at explaining complicated concepts. Her quizzes are difficult and make you apply what you've learned in new ways, which is not really my forte. Her lectures are engaging and she is a fun and interesting person. I recommend her, but be ready for weekly reading and quizzes that are a bit tough.

Nice lady and loved her personality but the online really held her back which I don't blame her for. Lectures are huge so don't miss any, notes will be on exam.

LOVE Prof. Jones-Rikkers. Super good at giving lectures and writes her own quizzes! Definitely recommend. It's a tough class, but she teaches it well!

This prof was great! Lectures were easy to follow, and with an online class quizzes (and tests) were taken over Connect. Real easy, take her if you can!

I really enjoyed how she taught the class! There are some difficult concepts in this class but she explains them really well and is always available to answer questions.

I had her for the first part of a hybrid course as the online lecture professor. We had smartbook assignments through mcgraw hill every week with a weekly quiz. Not too difficult. She always posted about her office hours and was very nice.

You have to do the readings and watch the lecture videos to pass this class. She makes you apply the concepts you have learned so make sure you really understand the concepts before you take the quiz. There is a quiz each week and they are hard. Your grade is only made up of quizzes and exams. If you want a good grade, you have to put in the work

Lectures are super interesting and she has a good sense of humor, but I don't like that grades are based heavily off of 15-point quizzes (easy to get bad grades on those), and many questions were vaguely worded and/or based off of materials in the book but not in the lecture. You'll be fine though, if you are willing to put the time and effort in.

This class isn't bad as long as you put the work in. Make sure to read and take notes as quizzes are open note. Professor Jones-Rikkers makes sure that you know every detail of the material, so if you have any questions make sure to go to office hours or you will not do well on the quizzes.

I thought Rikkers was a good prof. Her lectures are usually about 30 minutes and cover an overview of the book, they helped clear up any confusions I had. In order to do well, you have to do the work- read, take notes and listen to the lectures. The quizzes were fair, straight forward if you read the book. Overall, great prof in my opinion.

She made it very manageable to do an online course, we had 1 quiz every week but it was easy if you did the reading and watched her videos every week, which were interesting and didn't make you want to fall asleep. Her exams are also very doable if you keep up with your work and she has open book exams. She also always updated her office hours!

Professor Jones-Rikkers runs a challenging but manageable online course. The weekly quizzes require staying on top of lectures and readings, but unstuck AI was a lifesaver for study prep. Overall, a worthwhile class for engaged students.

Easy class, if you have any sort of work ethic like at all. You will receive an A.

She was the first half professor of my BUS 201 online portion, she was nice and always had office hours course wasn't too bad.

Lots of online lectures. Moved quickly because it was a summer, faster-paced class, but always had office hours or availability to schedule an appointment.

Pretty solid teacher, long lectures and a quiz every week. But there is no lockdown browser for any of the tests or exams.

She does a good enough job with the material. The subject matter is business law, so it is pretty dry. As long as you don't need Subway Surfers gameplay to keep your attention at all time and put in a modicum of effort you'll pass pretty easy. You do not need lockdown browser, quizzes are open note and are slightly difficult to compensate.
