Her class is very interesting. She does activities throughout her PowerPoints to keep your attention. Tests are average, not super easy but not difficult. She is always willing to help you with papers and projects. I recommend taking her!
Attendance isn't absolutely mandatory, but you receive participation points for going to class and doing the activities. Her exams are kind of tricky, but pretty short. Her lectures are really interesting and she makes going to class fun becauase her powerpoints and lectures aren't boring. There is one huge group project.
She is a wonderful professor. I would highly recommend taking her for this course. She is very helpful and you will learn a lot!
Awesome class. Dr. Craft makes the class interesting. Participation points for attending class. One big group project. She gives an outline for all class notes. You don't need to read the entire book to do well on the exam. Just go over in class notes and glance at the sections in the book that you focused on in class. If you try you will do well.
Her class was very interesting. Dr. Craft is a very nice professor and she likes to have fun. I definitely recommend taking any classes with her! The book was necessary in this class because she assigns things from it. The readings are not boring either. Her powerpoints in class are simple as well. Just pay attention in class & you'll be fine!
The class was very interesting. She used the textbook version of powerpoints but clearly stated what you needed to know. She gives you pre-made templates for notes which is awesome! The book was unnecessary in my opinion. I still received a good grade just by paying attention in class. Group discussion is big during class. Highly recommend her!
Craft is a great professor, if you get the chance to take a class with her, do it. She takes a semi-boring subject and makes it fun and interesting. You also learn a lot from her class. She is always willing to help students understand the material and do the best they can. One of my favorite professors I've had in the three years I've been at WSU.
Great teacher. Upbeat lectures, never a dull moment. Makes learning fun, but you need to study and know your material to get a good grade.
The class is hard in the aspect that you have to really know the material to do well. But proff. Craft does amazing in lectures and ties in real world things. I loved this class and would recommend it to anyone!
Great and Phenomenal professor! Really worked with me to get an A even though i did not start on a great start!
Awesome teacher! Really good at explaining through Powerpoints and making a potentially boring subject interesting! Make sure you communicate with the people in your group
Go to class to get participation points. She makes class fun by telling stories. You have to do 3 research papers, which i was worried about because i suck at normal papers and i got B's and an A on them.
Jana is a great teacher. Ive had her for every class I possibly could since freshman year. She is one of the most down to earth REAL professors you will take. She likes to assign group projects and class attendance is graded. Most students who try and put in the needed effort can get an AB. Her classes always fill up fast so sign up asap.
Craft is a great professor! This was an online class, so the schedule was pretty flexible. There were a few discussions, assignments, exams, and a research paper (writing intensive class). She expects a lot from her students, but in a good way. I would definitely say she is one of the best professors in the business department!
She makes the content and the class interesting, and it's very well organized. Assignments are known well in advance, and you always know where you are grade-wise. The class is writing intensive, but I feel like she grades very fairly.
Professor Craft is my favorite professor. There was some discussions, test, and a research paper. She got back to me in a timely manner and was always willing to answer questions. Professor Craft really enjoys the subjects she teaches which helps you enjoy the class also
Jana Craft is one of the best professors I've had at WSU. She knows how students are, so she makes the lectures interesting and is realistic with grading. She's funny and knows the material very well. I took this class with a different professor and had to withdraw because it was so horrible. I would recommend her to anybody!
I would definitely take it in class rather than online. I took it online and didn't get as much from it as I would have if i i took it in class. Very reasonable grader and is there to help you succeed. Great professor
I had her in the spring and really enjoyed it. She answered my questions a reasonable amount of time and was very fair. I really enjoyed her.
She was my best professor at WSU, she honestly cares about her students. If you go to class and actively participate and put forth effort she will be a great professor. Her stories are amazing and she is truly a great professor.
Take Jana Craft- she is so helpful and cares about her students!
Take ANY and every opportunity you are given to have Jana as your professor. She has not only taught me a lot about business but also the working world in general. Jana has inspired me through her stories and conversations. Her lectures are actually interesting and always helpful. You NEED to study for the exams.
Really fun,
Dr. Craft is the best teacher I have had at Winona State, make sure you take her at all costs!!
Take her classes! shes awesome!!
Dr Craft is the best professor Ive ever had. She really wants you to succeed and cares so much about each student. TAKE HER CLASS!
I adore Dr. Craft and I so respect her experience and advice. At the end of the class, definitely ask her a lot of future questions, or whatever else you want during her Q&A class. For the class itself, attend every class to get lecture notes, work hard in the group research project, and look over the study guides before tests. You'll pass.
The discussions were fun and interesting. Read the material and you will do fine. One long paper to hand in at the end of the semester, but she has a lot of helpful information on how to do it. Get your homework in on time and do your best, you will do fine. I would take a class with her again.
Super easy class! She has a note template that she bases her lectures off. Literally, you just fill in the blanks. Weekly discussions aren't bad, but they just take a little time (no more then an hour). No discussions on weeks you have a quiz (4 quizzes I think) There is a group paper and project at the end of the semester. EASY CLASS! Take Craft!!
Hands down the best professor I have had at WSU so far. Not necessarily a cake walk either, she hold you accountable and gives great feedback. I appreciated her no-nonsense attitude and engaging style of teaching. My only gripe would be the difficulty of her tests. Study hard!
Take any class you can with Craft! She makes class interesting and is very easy to talk to!
Take Dr. Craft! You will actually enjoy going to class. Her lectures are interesting and helpful. There is a research paper, but she has it set up so you are working on it all semester, not stressing about it at the end. She truly cares about her students and would recommend taking any class with her.
As long as you attend class and keep up with the reading you will do amazing in this class! Great professor! Would definitely recommend
Great professor-- gives interesting lectures, and provides examples for everything we learn in class so that we're not just memorizing the material, it is also being learned and applied. Tests were tough, but I really would recommend Professor Craft.
My favorite professor I have had at WSU so far. She is obviously passionate about what she does, and is great at portraying herself. Take her.
Overall great class. Lectures are actually interesting. One big group presentation. Some homework. 4 exams + Comprehensive Final. Exams are tough, and you must study some. Gives you note templates. Gives extra credit opportunities. She makes the class fun and interesting. The one class I actually don't mind going to. BEST teacher at WSU.
I took Craft over the summer for a management class and she was awesome, she was a really fair grader and she is very clear about what she wants to see in your posts.
I enjoyed taking a class with Dr. Craft. The class was a little difficult for me but it is clear that she loves teaching & she is passionate. Her lectures aren't boring & she actually gets her students engaged. She gives extra credit opportunities. The exams were the most difficult part for me but if you do good in everything else a B is attainable
Knowledge, interesting, and fun.
Take her. She makes lectures interesting. You have four tests throughout the semester and one final exam. She is very clear about everything she teaches and if you have questions she will definitely answer them. I highly recommend her. Great professor.
Professor Craft should teach every class at WSU. She gets the most out of your abilities but doesn't do it in a way that makes you not want to go to class. She is very energetic and is willing to help if you ask. If you show up to class and participate, she will really appreciate that. TAKE HER
She pushes her students to be the best that they can. You get the grade that you work for. There is one major paper, but she gives you all the tools you need to exceed and awesome feedback. I recommend her if you actually want to learn and better yourself as a student.
Craft is an excellent professor. There are a bunch of exams, a cumulative final, and a research paper due at the end of the semester. She gives you plenty of time to work on everything, and the comprehensive materials are not too hard to grasp. I would highly recommend taking her!
Jana is the best professor I have had since I have come to Winona. She is super sweet, gives lots of extra credit, and provides you with all the tools you need to get an A. She gives note templates so you know exactly what to study in her class. She cares about all her students like she's your mom and it's wonderful <3
Takes attendance; volunteer a lot and she'll like you. Do all the extra credit; it's very easy and brought me up a whole letter grade!
Attendance for class is mandatory and tests are easy if you review the chapter study guides. Assignments are only due the day of the test and they are really easy. Would 100% recommend her.
She is an amazing professor. There are 4 exams and one group presentation and group paper. You have writing assignments before each exam, but there are pretty simple and they help you retain the information. Her lectures are entertaining and useful, so you should go. TAKE HER!
She is a very passionate professor, which can sometimes mean she is loud and overpowering, especially early in the am. She provides note sheets every day for lecture which is helpful for exams. Exams aren't hard if you study but the final is so hard. there is a huge time-consuming group project at the end, so hopefully, you like your group members.
If you have the ability to take Dr. Craft for any class, please do it. Its professors like her that make the cost of tuition worth it. Shes an outstanding prof, and she genuinely makes assignments, lectures, and the overall experience very enjoyable while still educational. By far my favorite college course Ive ever taken. Best professor at WSU.
She is very loud and outgoing and seems to pick favorites. There is one big group project at the end. Our group was one of the first groups and she treated us horribly because we didn't present to her "expectations", but her expectations were severely unclear. Her tests are hard, but she has some of the best lectures of all the classes I've had.
Dr. Craft is a very knowledgeable professor and wants you to succeed. Although, she is very loud and often times can be rude. Tests are not very hard as long as you study (Dr. Craft provides study guides). The papers are definitely a grind but she gives decent feedback so you can fix your mistakes. Overall Dr. Craft is a decent professor.
Sends lecture videos for each chapter. If you go through the lectures and read you book SOME you will be fine tests are open notes and goes right from her lectures. Super helpful and wants everyone to pass.
Absolutely loved Dr. Craft! She made the class so fun and engaging. Every class was so fun, because she'd always have a fun activity planned. There were lots of papers, though, which is a given with a writing intensive class. There's also a huge group project at the end. But if you like your group members, it's easy.
Jana Craft is a pretty good professor at WSU and probably one of the best business school professors you can take. Very heavy on the writing which is expected since it is a writing-intensive course. The only thing bad I would say is that if she's in a bad mood it is very obvious and she will take it out on the class. Also very particular.
Dr. Craft is one of the best professors at Winona State! She makes class fun! You should go to class because she gives participation points almost everyday. However, if you miss a few days its okay because you usually only earn 1 participation point a day. The end of the semester is very busy (personal essay, group essay, presentation, final exam)
Dr. Craft is no doubt the best lecturer I've had in college so far. Her classes were always so entertaining because she presents the material in such an engaging way and she has such a great personality on top of that. Probably my favorite class I was in this semester. Take her!!!
Dr. Craft is a great professor and makes her lectures interesting. She's one of my favorites in the COB. Participation is essential and be prepared to write papers. Quizzes were relatively easy but there are A LOT of definitions to memorize. Study for them and you'll do fine. Would definitely have Dr. Craft as a professor again.
Dr. Craft is extremely organized and feedback from assignments is very clear. Lectures are engaging and easy to follow with a handout highlighting main points. One class period in MGMT325 is dedicated to how to give good presentations. A few EC opportunities. Few assignments and tests so make sure you complete them all.
Although she is a good professor, she is very loud and can come off as rude sometimes. She is a very hard grader on our papers and seems to find any mistake to take points off. Her exams are easy enough if you show up and pay attention to the lectures.
Jana has been a great professor and was my advisor as well. You will do well in her class if you participate and make the corrections she recommends on your papers.
Best professor I have had!! Amazing lectures and does not give out weekly homework which is very nice. You will have to write papers but there is only like 4-5 papers for the year and she gives feedback to help you.
Dr. Craft class was amazing to be in. Her lectures and course outline is simple and clear. I really enjoy her lectures and she isn't a robot. I would highly recommend her for future students.
Dr. Craft's online classes are organized in an easy-to-follow manner. Students know what to expect each week which helps with time management--important for an asynchronous class.
I took MGMT 325 with Dr. Craft. The class was well organized, engaging and informative. The content you learn in this class feels like it has real value and not just some textbook lecture snooze. Dr. Craft brought energy to the class that prompted participation and promoted learning. 10/10! Highly recommend you take any class with her.
Dr. Craft is a great professor. She always gives great feedback and let's you know how you can improve. Additionally, she gives plenty of points so if you fail something or mess up on one assignment, test, project, etc. it won't drop you a letter grade. Overall, she is a very caring and passionate professor. I would recommend Dr. Craft!
Professor Craft is a great teacher and is always looking out for her students! be prepared for laughs because she gets the class to participate in ways that all professors should. Take her if you can. make sure to write papers in advance to deadlines they will take longer than you think.
Great professor. Lecture went smoothly and efficiently.
Dr. Craft is great and has an awesome environment in her class.
easy class if you keep up with papers and group project. (DO NOT PROCRASTINATE HW gave pizza at the end of the semester (:
Craft is a great professor. take as many courses with her as you can. it is a little paper-heavy, but the papers are not complicated and are very straightforward. Attendance is not mandatory but you get participation points by showing up.
Dr. Craft clearly knows the material very well, but also makes learning fun. Hands down the best lecture videos for an online class. Every online class should follow her lead. She is a fair grader, will give great feedback and if you listen and use the feedback, your scores will improve. It was a pleasure to take this class. Thank you Dr. Craft!
She is the best Professor at Winona State University.
I took the class as a winter term class so it was online and Dr.Craft is very nice. I think for a winter term class so there was a good amount of work to do and papers to write but very manageable if you keep up. She had good feedback on papers and made sure to have papers graded before the next one was due so you knew changes.
She is great!
This is the second class I have taken with Dr. Craft. I wish I could have her as the professor for every course I take. I generally have a hard time sitting through lecture videos, however Dr. Craft's are very engaging, thought provoking, and she is quite funny at times. The course was challenging, but she's clear about her expectations.
This was a fun class. The exams were extremely tough. READ THE BOOK. studying for the exam is crucial to pass the class. The projects were fun to do, and she gave out a lot of extra credit opportunities which should not be slept on. The content was very interesting. You get to go on the classroom boat. If well prepared, she is a great teacher.
Craft is one of the best teachers at WSU. She has her set expectations but is willing to work with you as long as you put in effort. Essay heavy (3-4 8-10 p. papers). Exams can be tough. But you will learn a lot in this class.
Take Jana Craft if you can, she is awesome and actually cares about her students.
Highly recommend taking Dr. Craft for this class! The exams are kind of tough. But as long as you show up, take notes, and put effort into the projects. You should at least get a B. Again, highly take Dr. Craft not only for this class, but ones for the future as well.
I loved taking a class from Dr. Craft. She is very knowledgeable, and wants her classes to be fun and educational. I am happy that I am a business major, because I am planning on taking more of her classes. She is very clear about expectations and grading procedures.
Dr. Craft is a very fun energetic professor! Her class is fun to be at with lots of discussions throughout her lecture. Her class is very heavy with papers. You have 4 individual papers, group project, group paper, and 4 exams. With a final. Very busy class but she makes it as easy as she can!! Take her if you can. She gives extra credit as well.
She can be intimidating and hard ti work with you.
Dr. Craft is the best of the best. She is incredibly smart, funny, and genuinely cares about her students. The papers can be intimidating, but her presentation and test style are incredible. Please take Dr. Craft if you have the chance, she is the best in the COB. Quick with grading and feedback, and wants you to succeed.
