GREAT TEACHER, MAKE SURE TO SHOW UP AND TAKE NOTES. TESTS ARE KINDA HARD, BUT RIGHT OUT OF THE BOOK

Very good teacher.

She has been my favorite professor at MSU so far! The tests are tricky but she gives very good notes and makes the class interesting. SHOW UP TO THIS CLASS. She gives you 50/50 for attendance and participation which is a good boost for your grade. She knows what she's talking about. TAKE HER!

She seems really mean and intimidating in the beginning, but she lightens up and is a very good teacher. Her tests are from her notes, but she makes you read the chapters and WILL call on you during class. The final is departmental, is way easier than her tests, and I felt very prepared for it. Take her if you can, she's good!

Show up to class every time and you have 50 points. You use the book everyday in class. As long as you take good notes, pay attention and read the chapters you should have no problem

If you pay attention in class, you will do fine. Doing the reading helps a lot, and doing the assignments helps that much more. Overall, not a hard class. She makes it interesting, participation points are easy and you will learn a lot. She is very nice and will work with you if you are a good student.

she is strict, but a good teacher. I took the class wihtout too much interest, and honestly i liked it. It is hard if you dont read and study. I am not an A student, but i studied, and reviewed my notes from lecture, and i did decent in her class, and it was a morning class too. she relates to the students,and offers real life examples in class.

Very qualified to teach real estate law. Doesn't make the class very easy though, I'm a straight A student and got a B. Make the subject of law as interesting as it can be, I guess. Reading and attendance are required, but this course is pretty manageable.

Business law may seem useless and uninteresting, but upon taking Phillips you may see the importance of this class. She's very well structured, clear, and concise. Don't be fooled by her sternness in the beginning; she's a very nice teacher and willing to help. She's very qualified for the position and shows it in her teaching. Not easy, not hard.

I had her last semester and she was one of the best professors I've ever had. She seems intimidating at first, but she's actually pretty open to questions. She will call on you in class if she sees that you're not paying attention. I didn't read the book and got an A. If you take good notes, you'll be fine. Study notes and you'll do good on tests

Professor Phillips was an excellent teacher. In her lectures she made the material applicable to the student. If you want to gain more out of each lecture be prepared to be engaged in the class and come up with your own scenarios to discuss.

I have loved both classes I have had with Professor Phillips! Her lectures are engaging, interesting, and I always walked away learning something new. Read the book and take good notes, and you will do fine. She wants everyone to actually learn the material, and succeed in the class. There are a couple of opportunities to earn extra points.

Professor Phillips is great. The lectures are very engaging and do not feel as long as they are. She involves everyone in the class and makes things much clearer than the textbook. Take good notes in class and study and you will do fine. Tests are a bit tough but if you are well prepared, they aren't bad.

Make sure and be very clear of the terms, rather than just general knowledge on it because questions can seem very contradicting if you know the exact meanings. Try and find examples of the terms as well because it will make them more clear. Also write down in class examples.

Her lectures are interesting, but attendance is mandatory. You'll need the book for online homework and make sure to reference your notes with the book before tests because she doesn't always cover the whole chapter. Overall though I really liked her

Loved her as my teacher. The tests and quizzes are straight off the lectures and she explains the material well. First time I had ever taken a law class and she made it easy to learn. Show up to class because the lectures aren't filled out online and she won't tell you when the in class quizzes are.

She's a very good teacher if you listen and take notes during class. She will call out students during class to make sure you are paying attention so make sure you read before that class or bring the book to class. Assignments for homework are easy points. Test are very applicational so know the examples she gives in class. Easy B, hard A.

Phillips legitimately cares if you understand the material. Her lectures are very helpful and she normally takes test questions from them. She prefers a conversational type of classroom, so interacting with her helps a lot. Her tests are long but not overly difficult, but some of the homework is pretty hard.

She can be a little bit intimidating but I would take her again. She makes the class easier because of how she explains things. There are weekly quizzes on mindtap and nothing is too bad.

I loved her! Not an easy subject but she makes it straightforward if you do your work and listen in class. She can be a little intimidating at first but super helpful if you just talk to her and show you want to learn. Definitely do the readings because she builds off of them. She's really funny and knows what she's talking about so great lectures.

Professor Phillips is AMAZING. She gives examples that are easy to understand, even when you are new to law concepts. She said that we would have pop quizzes, but she has told us about every one the class period before. She cares about her students and wants them to pass. It was challenging at times, but I learned so much from this class.

Professor Phillips is super passionate about law and knows her stuff. It's pretty hard, no lie, but if you show up to class and study well, you should be fine! I love her and when I talked to her in class and in her office hours she was super helpful and kind. Highly recommend you take her - you just have to be prepared to work for your grade.

She teaches quite well but quizzes and tests are still really hard, I think I reviewed all my material quite comprehensive, but I still do not do very well in the final. I found that some questions in final comes from the priority test. so if you have time, just go to her office and review all the exams before. I think that will help you a lot

Professor Phillips is by far the best professor & teacher Ive ever had! She comes off as very uptight and strict at first but she truly doesnt ask for much. If you go to class, participate, etc. she rounds your final grade. My final grade went from an 86 to an A b/c Ive went to class & etc. (not +/- either)Shes awesome & makes learning law fun

Overall, this professor is a solid choice. She assigns homework that is due almost every class. Attendance isn't mandatory but she does take it everyday. Lots of discussion based lectures which are not that bad and are actually explained in a understandable way. As long as you show up to class and do your homework, you should do fine! Good luck!!

Phillips is one of the best teachers for this class, and this is a very interesting class in general. You will have no problem paying attention to lecture in classes. However, the majority of the points in this class come from exams and quizes and they can be quite difficult. Get the book, read before class, and study early and you will be fine.

If you go to class you learn a lot and it helps on tests.

Professor Phillips is a little tough, but only if you don't do your work. If you keep up with the readings, know the court cases, and study you will do well. Test questions are specific but never about anything we didn't discuss. Take good notes and pay attention in class. If you participate and don't miss class she will round your grade up.

She is definitely an intimidating person, but knows what she's talking about. Definitely go to class, she posts the notes online but adds more in during the lecture. She knows how to explain the information to people and gives really good examples and answers questions. She will call people out in class

Jana Phillips is my favorite teacher so far at Missouri State. She might be a little scary at first, but I have learned so much in her law class. If you show up to class and actually pay attention, you will do good. If you skip or don't pay attention, it will be difficult. She keeps the lectures entertaining.

This class was very intimidating at first. In the beginning I basically accepted I did not even have a chance of receiving an A. As the semester went on, this changed. If you show up to class, take notes, listen, study, and always do the homework, you have a good chance of doing well in the class. She is very good at explaining hard topics.

Quality professor, cares about you as a student and wants you to learn.

One of my top professors. Makes lectures interesting and although tests are the hardest thing, if you study you will get a good grade. She is always willing to help outside of class. Very strict on phones and laptops but it is reasonable. Definitely would recommend if you want to actually learn!

Phillips is very intimidating at first, but overall is an amazing teacher who cares about you and is willing to help. Having lecture slides printed out before class helped a ton. Book is not necessary unless you need additional help on a subject, tests are only over material covered in class not over entire chapters. Would take again!

Go to class, read the book before taking the quizzes, and you will pass. Can be intimidating because the material is tricky but if you memorize the concepts, you will do fine on the exams. The exams are application based so make sure to prepare.

If you read the chapters and take notes and participate in lecture this class is easy.

I really enjoyed Prof Phillips's class. The material was a little hard but as long as you showed up for all of her lectures, she made it easy to understand. She can be a little intimidating at first, but she's actually pretty funny and really knowledgeable in her field. Would definitely take her again.

Professor Phillips makes it very clear from the beginning that if you dont put in some extra time and effort, you will not do well in this class. That being said, she is always willing to speak to spend time working with any student that feels they are struggling. This class is not easy and you will definitely earn your grade!

This class is tough. Grading is tough. Youll be expected to infer answers to questions that arent explicitly asked. She is fair and teaches very well. If you want to be a financial planner this course would be very valuable

This professor is amazing. She teaches very well and you will never get bored in class. This is one of the more challenging classes Ive had in college but over all it made me into a better learner. If you are t looking for a challenge then I wouldnt recommend but if you want to learn more learning styles, I say take her class!

Her lectures are pretty in depth and where a bulk of the information in the class comes from. She posts slides online that you can print, then fill out in class. Weekly online homework due each week. Tests are weighted pretty heavily but the class has a lot of points. Her lectures kind of rely on class participation, so make sure to talk!

Dr. Phillips deserves better reviews. Many people on here seem to be surprised that they would actually have to study for this class. The content is a lot to swallow, but she sections it all out and explains it in-depth. You must print out the slides for effective notes. She gives you all the study tools you need & tells cases that will be on test

This class requires you to actually take your time to understand and do the homework. The content is a lot to wrap your head around.The test are 30 questions and each question is worth 6 points. With that being said, it is so important to study weeks before the test day. Prof. Phillips although intense, is a good instructor.

Great professor and not that challenging of a class. If you do badly in this class, that is on you. It can be intimidating, but coming to class, asking questions, and basically memorizing the slides you print out will help you the most. She gives zero EC and beware of HW due dates, other than that, this class is pretty fun and interesting.

This professor was by far one of the best professors I've had. She provided amazing examples for every definition. The class itself is difficult but Jana is not. Study really hard for her tests and you will be fine, ask her questions, she seriously knows her stuff! Show up to every class otherwise you will miss very important information.

Yes this class is hard, but Jana is an amazing professor who knows how to teach. This isn't the class that you can just show up, leave, and take the test. YOU HAVE TO STUDY. She gives great tips for study methods. I averaged a B on every test with an A on the 2nd test. Study and you will do well.

The subject itself is difficult, but Jana is incredibly knowledgeable and can answer all the questions you have to better comprehend the topics. This is a 500-level class, and she sets the expectation from the beginning to be prepared to read outside of the course. Use her brain. If you are a planning major, this course is crucial to focus in.

You must read coursework before class, and no computers are allowed during class. About two assignments per chapter with an exam after about 5 chapters. Exams are weighted heavily, and studying is a necessity. Make sure to take paper notes or you will struggle significantly. Attendence sheet every class. Assigned seating. No extra credit.

Best Professor I've had at Missouri State. She knows what she's talking about and she covers all the info on the exams in class. I Her lectures are interesting and the content is things that you can actually use later in life. Your grade is determined by your test scores which stinks. This class isn't an easy A but I highly recommend taking it.

I took this 3-week summer course with Prof. Phillips because the other teacher had bad reviews. She gave clear instructions, a precise assignment schedule, and provided quick responses to my questions. The tests were pretty hard, but the smartbooks prepared me enough not to fail them. Despite not doing well, I would still take her class again.

Teaches you to apply everything you learn in the real world. Read the textbook and take notes BEFORE class and you will understand the material better. Questions for tests/quizzes are application based. There is so much material so you have to study a lot, but she is a girlboss and I have so much respect for her.

Good class and knowledgeable and respectful teacher. Very collaborative during the lectures bust the tests are kind of hard

Prof. Phillips is AMAZING, she's very blunt and straightforward, but she does great a lecturing. Class has only paper notes, and online quizzes and tests with Respondus. She cares about the students, and the class material was a lot more interesting than I thought. Really great with answering questions and there is a couple EXTRA CREDIT Assignment

Dr. Phillips is probably the best law professor you can have. She gives out lots of work, but that's to make sure you understand what we will be talking about in lecture the next day. She doesn't allow phones or computers but with a class of this difficulty, I honestly appreciated it because I learned so much with no distractions!
