She's awsome, and really cares about students learning something new.... Take this teacher you won't regret it!
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
Great class if you enjoy working in groups. She really makes the group projects feel like real life scenarios. If group work and attending class is not your thing, don't take this class!
If you only take one class at KU, it should be this one!!! Jana is funny, makes class interesting, doesn't lecture, and really cares about her students! You will DEFINITELY have fun in this class, but at the end you will realize that you learned more in this class then you ever have! TAKE THIS CLASS!!!
Great professor. Learned a lot!
LOVE Jana. Amazing teacher, even better perosn.
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.
Jana is an awesome teacher! She is probably my favorite teacher at KU, but get ready for group projects. She is very adamant on group involvement, although the group projects are not too bad. There are quizzes, test are pretty tough, and you must read the book.
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.
She is a great a rigorous teacher that has respect for all of the students she teach. The test are hard but if you study and go to class you should be fine. It's a great class to attend if you study the material and participate then you end with a A.
Love Jana!! Honestly one of the best teachers I have had at ku. You have to do the work in the class to get an A which makes it kinda hard but she is very understanding and wants everyone to pass! You will love her
Jana is one of the best teachers KU has to offer. She makes it a point to get to know her students. I have found her to be inspirational, hilarious, and an amazing lecturer. I had to work for my A in her Entrepreneurship 480 class. It was not easy as she required the reading of two books, extensive studying of taxes, and more. Overall, I recommend.
Jana is by far my favorite teacher I have had at KU! I have taken two classes with her and have loved them both! She keeps everyone engaged in her lectures and enjoys her job! Overall she is a great teacher and I would highly recommend taking every class she teaches!
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.
Jana is definitely one of the best professors at this University, and probably around the Nation.
Professor Fitchett was beyond EXCELLENT. I have gained knowledge about management that I know I can and will apply towards my career. She is very accommodating to her students needs. You will never see her frown, she is always smiling so bright. If I ever get a chance to take her class again, I would, in a heart beat.
Jana Fitchett hands down no questions asked the best teacher I have ever had!!! She gets to know all of her students and is always trying to help students get the best grades possible. She is always happy and smiling, she puts the class in the best mood. BEST TEACHER EVER!
Jana is my favorite professor at KU. She's engaged and actively tries to get to know all of her students. She always has a smile on and loves to make jokes in class. She's by far the coolest teacher (I've taken shots with her at the wheel) and truly wants you to succeed. Show up and participate and you will easily get an A.
Jana is my favorite teacher at KU. I've taken three courses with her, including ENTR 410, MGMT 310, and ENTR 480. In all of these classes, it's evident that she genuinely enjoys what she does, and she makes class fun. The workload is not excessive, but Jana does make students put in the work to receive an A. I definitely recommend taking her class.
Jana is an outstanding professor! She goes the extra mile and is always available to her students. That said, there is a lot of work required for her classes, but it is completely manageable. I have learned so much in both ENTR 410 and MGMT 310.
Jana is AMAZING! She is hands down the best professor I have had at KU thus far. She is super approachable and cares about every student. The class structure has a lot of group discussion, you MUST participate in class! Jana will make you work hard to get an A, but as long as you put the effort in, you will do great in her class!
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
This was hands-down one of the best classes I've ever taken. It was a big time commitment, especially for our business plan. We had to do plenty of interviewing, research, and our ideas even got rejected a few times. It's a tough class, but you can do it if you attend and participate. If you're passionate about business, this class is a must!
Hands down one of the best professors on campus. She's amazing and her class is too. All you need to do is attend class, do the assigned readings (really easy), write notes from those readings and you can use them on all quizzes. Final is super easy, just pay attention during her review session.
Great Teacher
Really enjoyed this class, Jana did a great job of ensuring that not only were students able to learn, but the material was not overly challenging either. A fun class where not only did we learn, but it wasn't over the top hard.
Jana is awesome- take her class, no questions asked. You will learn something and not have to work over the top difficult. Do IT.
I believe it is actually MGMT 310, but the class was great. Jana is a great professor and you should absolutely take her class.
One of my favorite professors and she is always there to help! Part lecture, part group work. Semester long project so have to show up to work with group. Have to work hard for the project but really rewarding. Would recommend.
Jana is an awesome teacher. She makes class worth going to and so much fun. She makes sure the content actually pertains to real life and teaches you things you can actually use in life. She is so funny and caring about her students. She does a lot to make sure every student who puts effort in the class is successful. I loved all her classes.
Great teacher, really cares about her students. If you show up and put in work you will get a good grade. This class has real life application and I would highly recommend it to anyone.
Jana is awesome. There is no ambiguity in her classes, as she is very clear with expectations, and will always give feedback if you ask. ENTR 410 only had one exam this semester, but that doesn't mean its an easy class. You have to work hard on the creation of a business plan and other case studies to earn a good grade. I recommend the class.
Best Teacher Ever!
I was told to take Jana's class my a classmate of mine and was nervous because it was an 8am..I am not a morning person but Jana's teaching style made it enjoyable to show up to class. Lots of group work and participation so you need to be at class. She changed our reading quizzes halfway through to attendance after the class voted on it. Take her!
Fitchett is fantastic. Took her MGMT 310 course. Fitchett cares about her students, brings a smile & energy to every class, & wants to students to take away valuable leadership skills. There are Pop Quizzes- & tests makes up a decent amount of your grade. YOU WONT SUCCEED IN THIS CLASS IF YOU DON'T SHOW UP. But she's the best prof in Capfed
I had this class at 8 am and Jana made it so interesting it wasn't even hard to get up for this class. She is an outstanding teacher.
No negatives from me. Do the work- show up, be attentive and study the study guides for the exams and you should be fine. Jana is a great inspirational person. Make sure you show up on time. If you have any questions, just text her or go to her office hours (by appointment) and she will help you. I really got to enjoy teamwork more because of her.
shes amazing, show up and youll get an A
I took this course for my Business Admin major since I had Jana for MGMT 310 and absolutely loved her. This course is pretty straight forward and as long as you show up and do the work, you should do well. Class is entertaining and gives lots of real world examples. She's one of my favorite professors at KU and is hilarious and caring. Great class!
Jana is an amazing teacher who makes you work for your grade, especially because the majority of points received in the class come from a cumulative final group project. She is super enthusiastic and always willing to help. Best teacher ever!!!
Amazing professor who really cares about her students. Do the work, participate, and study for tests and you'll be fine. Tests can be tough but it's made up with lots of extra credit opportunities. There are 8 pop quizzes (open-note) throughout the semester so don't skip and make sure to take notes. She is very nice/smart and wants you to succeed!
Jana is the best professor I have had at KU. She cares about her students and will work with you to ensure that you are having a great experience in her class. The guest speakers that she brings in provide great insight for future entrepreneurs. You will be challenged at times, but will walk away learning more than you could have imagined.
Jana is one of my absolute favorite teachers. She is so knowledgeable and pulls from her personal/real life experience as a professional- which is both helpful and interesting! Jana cares about her students and assigns things that are both thought provoking and applicable. I have enjoyed getting to know Jana inside and outside of class!
Jana is the sweetest teacher. I respect her so much. She made me WANT to show up for class. You will do wonderfully in the class if you show up and participate. Her expectations are clear and not too burdensome. 10/10 recommend taking this class with Jana.
Her lectures are extremely interactive and it was truly a joy going to the class everyday. She also goes out of her way to help students. I lost my internship due to COVID-19 and the first person I contacted was Jana. She referred me to some companies and I ended up getting an internship from my connection with her! She went above and beyond!
Jana is amazing. She is super understanding and cares for her students. She is willing to chat with you outside of classroom and makes sure her students are doing great. Her assignments and projects are challenging but she will help walk you through them as long as you are willing to learn. The materials are not dry and helpful for your future.
I wish Jana taught more classes. I would enroll in them all! She is phenomenal. Arguably the best teacher at the KU School of Business. Jana is funny, kind, and engaging. If you skip class, you won't perform well. I feel equipped from her class. Ready to transfer my knowledge from MGMT 310 to the real world!!
You work with a group throughout the entire semester of about 5 people which can be strange at first, but once you get into the flow of things and get to know your group it can be one of the best classes. One of the things you do as a group is compare two competitive businesses in town with your group which I thought was a great project.
Jana is an amazing prof and one of my favorites here at KU! She makes sure you learn the material by making the class a little more difficult but everything you learn, you are going to use post graduation! I would recommend MGMT 310 to any undergrad and especially Jana who goes the extra mile each day in class to make sure youre growing!
The class is heavily based on discussion with peers and is super fun when effort is put in!!
Jana is a fantastic professor. Her ENTR 410 course is by no means easy. She makes you work hard on your business plan by always providing constructive feedback! She is also not a spoon-feeder, she wants you to think critically about your business plan and encourages you to ask questions every class. Take Jana's class if you truly want to grow.
Jana was super nice this class is fairly easy there was no tests just assignments and attendance. As long as you show up and participate you can get an A in this class. She made it really interesting by still having guest speakers to com speak.
Jana has become one of my favorite professors overnight. She is kind caring and goes out of her to make classes enjoyable even in the morning.
Overall, I thought she was interactive and fun to be around, but it didn't feel like she respected COVID protocols. Students were spread out to social distance, but she would sit down in chairs directly next to students that were supposed to be left empty and rarely enforced restrictions.
Jana is all-around wonderful. She truly cares about providing quality education to her students. Taking her for any class is well worth your time and money. I looked forward to coming to ENTR 410 and was able to pull many valuable lessons from her lectures. As a student, you will get out of this class as much as you put into it.
Professor Fitchett is is truly renowned at KU and for good reasons. She teaches applicable lessons and expects a lot out of her students, but is always incredibly fair. She is very approachable and I highly recommend building a relationship with her. I took MGMT 310 with her and her guest speakers and lessons are fantastic!
Mrs. Fitchett is my favorite professor at KU! She is personable, caring, and she has a positive energy. She even makes an effort to talk to me individually each class, which I really appreciate. I 100% recommend taking any class she teaches. I took her BUS110 class. Her lectures were helpful, relevant, and she really kept students engaged.
Professor Fitchett has without a doubt become one of my favorite professors. Her MGMT 310 class is fun/interactive, and she spends a lot of time going over real-world examples and personal experiences. You are expected to read the weekly chapter and will be quizzed over the material. Guest speakers were brought in almost weekly which I found great!
Really enjoyed MGMT 310 with Professor Fitchett. She is super kind, approachable, and always willing and able to help with anything you need. You can also tell she has real-world experience in management roles at big companies, making her very qualified to teach the class.
Professor Fitchett is an outstanding professor that goes above and beyond the call of duty. She did a phenomenal job of handling Covid-19 protocols by spacing each student out 6ft apart and always requiring masks to be worn. I highly recommend taking this memorable class as Professor Fitchett is one of the best professors at KU!
Jana is my FAVORITE professor here at KU and I am so thankful for every moment I get with her! If you EVER have the opportunity to take a class with her, DO IT! She is such an amazing person!
Jana is the absolute best! I've had her for 3 classes and wish I could take more. She makes class entertaining and engaging! She has so much real experience that she ties in with the lesson and truly inspires people. She's super approachable and easy to talk to and very understandable.
Super helpful cares about her students, and works make class a fun environment.
Professor Fitchett is very kind and wants the best for all students. In ENTR 410 you work on a big group project and she challenges and will make you redo things occasionally, but she wants you to do your best and is willing to help all the time! She is the BEST!
The best professor and role model at KU! Professor Fitchett makes class very fun and interactive. I personally challenged with the in class quizzes, but thankfully they were open note. You should definitely take this class with her, you won't regret it!!
Jana is a great teacher! It will be tough if you do not show up to class! If you work hard and pay attention you will learn a lot!
I learned a lot about entrepreneurship. Jana is a great teacher and is very passionate.
Jana was such an intelligent person! If you pay attention it will be a great class for you, my favorite part was the group project at the end of the semester!
awesome teacher
Jana has a lot of experience in management so it helps that she can relate so personally to the material taught in class. I really enjoyed taking this class and felt like it was very engaging.
Phenomenal professor that cares tremendously about her students!
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.
Janalee Fitchett is an amazing professor who bring great energy to every lecture. Wish I could take her class over and over again.
Jana Fitchett is my favorite professor at KU! Her lectures are amazing, she truly cares about her students, and she knows more about her field than anyone I know. Effort and participation are necessary for her class, but if you care, you will do well.
Very engaging class. Can get repetitive, but she gives it 100%. Graded "4" on difficulty because lack of participation will hurt you. Homework and tests are manageable.
Jana is my favorite professor at KU and if you take her class you'll see why. She has built a fun and interactive culture within her class and truly cares for her students. You can tell she is very passionate about her job through her kind and energetic spirit she brings to every class. She is also very approachable and easy to talk too!
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 professor that truly cares about her students. She comes to class every day excited to further her students knowledge and is supportive in many aspects. She engages her students in lectures so classes are interesting and go over smoothly. Attend class and you will be just fine in this class!
She is extremely kind and genuinely cares about her students. I really enjoyed her lectures, they were very interactive and I learned a lot from her- my favorite professor at KU and I will always remember her!
I literally LOVED Jana. Her class was literally the reason why I switched my major from marketing to management. She literally is one of my favorite professors I've ever had at KU so if you get a chance to take her class, DO IT. The coursework was so easy and I loved every guest speaker she brought in.
Jana's class was one of my favorites I have taken from KU throughout all my time here. The guest speakers were my favorite part. Getting to hear from so many successful people and connect with them was a really special opportunity! Class was awesome and I recommend anyone who takes MGMT 310 to try and get into Jana's class.
Professor Fitchett is simply INCREDIBLE! Her course was tough because the content was heavy at times because there is so much that should be covered, but it's a great balance! She does a great job facilitating discussions and group projects in class and it's by far the BEST professor that I have taken at KU especially in Cap Fed 1111.
Jana Fitchett is hands down the best professor I have had in college. It is so obvious how much she cares about her students and would do a nothing for the students that actually reach out and ask for help. The class is very manageable and as long as you show up you will do well. Jana is one of those professors that you want in your corner.
Jana Fitchett rocks. If you have to take MGMT 310 take it with Jana. She's understanding of students and will work with you if you ever need help. She is funny and understands we are people not just students. She also brings in guest speakers that are actually interesting and relatable. Definitely the best professor I have had at KU so far.
Overall, I highly recommend Professor Fitchitt's class to anyone who is looking for a challenge and is motivated to learn. If you put in the work you'll come away with a deep understanding of the subject matter and a great sense of accomplishment.
Professor Fitchett is hands down the best Management professor at KU. She is reliable, enthusiastic, inspirational, and an incredible professor. She made me passionate about the MGMT program at KU and got me connected with great industry leaders throughout the class. She is a great asset to the school of business and hope to have her again!
I highly recommend taking Jana for MGMT 310; she is kind, caring, and genuinely is invested in your career development and personal well being. She is an absolutely incredible professor and I am grateful to have learned so much from her!
Jana is my favorite professor at KU and if you take her class you'll see why. She's built a fun and interactive culture within her class and truly cares for her students. You can tell she is very passionate about her job through her kind and energetic spirit she brings to every class. She's very approachable and easy to talk too! HIGHLY RECOMMEND
She is without a doubt the best professor I have ever had. She makes learning fun and engaging. I wish she taught all my classes.
My favorite class I have taken at KU, provides so much more than just the fundamentals of MGMT. Jana goes out of her way to ensure the most positive classroom environment and learning experience.
Great teacher! Nothing else to say but you will enjoy this class (though there is a bit of busy work).
Amazing professor who really cares about her students.
My favorite professor so far because she really care about students and tries to make the class fun. Guest speaker reflections are easy points and quizzes are open notes. One mid term and one final but all MC. Assigned to groups of about 6 people the beginning of the semester for scenario based discussions over the chapters.
She really cares about students and she makes sure class is a fun place to be at. One of my favorite professors at KU. She has guest speakers that come to talk about what we learned. She put us in group of 6 to have people to be friends and talk about lecture topics with.
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.
she is great
Jana is one of my favorite professors I've had. She clearly cares about her students and makes class very engaging. The guest speakers are great and there are extra credit opportunities. The quizzes were the only thing that brought my grade down, so take good notes (you can use them on the quiz). I wish I could take all of my classes with Jana!
Great class, learned a lot about management and enjoyed hearing from guest speakers
One of my favorite classes so far!
Jana is a great teacher but her class is not an "easy A". Many of my classmates assumed the final would be super easy and got Cs and Ds on it since they didn't study. I studied and got a B, which I am happy with.
Class was awesome and she is the coolest teacher ever but if you want a good grade in the course you have to put the work in.
Good professor
Great teacher one of the best at KU
Go to class, prepare for quizzes, take advantage of guest speakers they are there for a reason, be ready to work in groups.
Professor Fitchett is a great teacher who shows up to work everyday with an enthusiastic demeanor, her class is structured in way that makes getting A's and B's achievable but, requires hard work.
I love Jana! She cares so much!
Janas class was super fun and I loved all of the guest speakers that she invited to class. Using the smartbooks will help you prepare for the quizzes/exams. The class is split up into groups of 6 and you get the opportunity to socialize/discuss often during class which was awesome. Would take again. :)
One of my favorite professors that I've taken a class with at KU! She cares about all her students and is able to make the class enjoyable each day. The quizzes can be tough if you don't prepare enough for them. The same case goes for the exams.
Jana is a great person that cares about her students! The activities that you do in class are super fun. The only complaint that I have is that the quizzes are purely based off of what you read in the book and sometimes have nothing to do with what you actually talk about in class. If you read and go to class you can easily at least get a B.
Amazing and caring professor. 5/5
Jana is a must-take for MGMT. She has the coolest connections and best guest speakers and somehow has relevant experience in every single area. One of the business school's finest.
She is one of those professors that leave an impact on you. She is very caring and wise. Her selection of guest speakers is very interesting giving you an experience of multiple industries. From attendance to finals grading everything is explained well and followed until the last day of the course so there's no confusion.
Prof Fitchett's class is fun and engaging. The quizzes can be tough if you don't prep, but using Unstuck study alongside the textbook really helps. Definitely worth taking, just stay on top of the work.
Jana is easily one of the best teachers at the business school. This class has a heavy workload and is kind of difficult but is very useful. Be prepared for quizzes each class and to work in teams. Would definitely recommend this class!
Jana is a wonderful professor! You can tell she cares about each of her students and their experience in her class. Although the class is fun and engaging, you have to continue your learning outside of the classroom because there is a lot of info she teaches and expects us to understand. Nonetheless, I definitely would recommend this class!
Jana is one of the best professors I've had at KU! Getting to know her, she cares about all of her students and makes her lectures engaging. She has tons of great advice for real world situations. Just be ready for the quizzes - need to read the chapters.
Jana is one of my favorite professors at KU! She really cares about her students and wants the best for every one of them. Make sure you participate in class and do the readings outside of class so you come prepared for in class quizzes. There are great opportunities to meet guest speakers in this class and network. Jana is a must have professor!!
Jana cares so much about all of her students. She does a great job with making her lectures engaging. This is one of my favorite classes I have taken at KU.
She is so sweet, cares about her students, and the class is fun! Great teacher and great course. Ensure you read before each class for the quizzes, and be prepared to talk in your small group every class.
Lots of group works and helpful guest speakers. Quizzes can be tough but its open note so just take good notes and youll be fine. Jana is a great professor overall.
Jana is a very good professor, but this class can get difficult if you don't keep up with it. Reading and paying attention during lectures is super important. So is participating in your groups
She was great
Jana was one of the most fun professors I have had in a long time. Even though you have to turn your computer off and pay attention, I actually learned some stuff. Hope to see her again.
I took her class last semester. She is a fantastic instructor with enthusiasm for teaching and real world experiences. Jana is very kind and takes active action to help her students to become future business management leaders.
She's great, just don't miss any days and you'll be good!
