Love love LOVE! She is super nice and helpful. Very understanding to her students. Tests are easy. The whole class is a group project pretty much. If you don't like working with other people, I wouldn't take this class. You also have to show up to class. Class consists of lecture, guest speakers, and group work. THIS PROFESSOR IS GREAT

Jana is one of the best teacher I've had. She's funny, enthusiastic and hilarious. If you're shy and don't like group projects then she's not the teacher for you but even so her classroom is very "safe". She has a tendency to call on random people for participation but if you pay attention you should have no problem answering. Take this class!

Required to attend all classes, but one of the most worthwhile, 'actually important in life' classes. Guest speakers from all different companies and backgrounds with great advice in at least half the classes (notes required, but awesome). Cool field trips to breweries and such. Tests/quizzes over book, but if you read it, you can get a good grade.

Group activities are an everyday activity, while attendance is not mandatory there are 10 pop quizzes throughout the semester that are random so not coming can be detrimental if you miss the pop quizzes. Only a few projects outside of class. If you show up, pay attention and skim the book you will pass.

Jana is a wonderful teacher and an all around great person. But you must complete readings before each class in order to be prepared for random quizzes, and group work every day requires conscious effort, as well as several group projects. Don't slack off or it'll be tough to get the grade you want. The material is great for the business world.

Very very hard class indeed. Why? B/c it requires more than rote memory - relies on people skills and being able to work together. She teaches what no professor nor textbook has done and that is teamwork trumps. Business THRIVES when teams win - not memorizing test answers. The greatest prof. at KU, hands down! Must take, but be prepared. Not easy

Jana is an amazing professor, she cares deeply about each of her students. Her classes are the right amount of difficult without pushing you over the edge. I think she handles this fine line perfectly, she understands her students and is always wanting to help out however she can. I 10/10 recommend her as a professor.

I am appalled to see all the high ratings I've seen on this page. It is very clear that she doesn't actually know any of the content she teaches, as every single lecture is a copy/paste of the McGraw-Hill lectures she was given. In an ethics lecture, she bragged about going to the house of a former, pregnant employee to scream at them for quitting.

Jana is a fantastic professor- she is kind, energetic and has clear expectations. This course is not challenging on a conceptual level, it just requires effort and attendance (make sure to do the readings every time, the quizzes will make or break your course grade). In my opinion, it is easily manageable with harder courses.

If you read and go to class you can easily at least get a B.
