Good teacher. Had her for Macro and took her again for Micro. Gives extra credit. Will throw out test questions if too many people get them wrong. She will help you if you need it you just have to ask. This is not an easy subject so if you go to class take notes and ask questions if you are lost you will do fine.

I took Micro with her and wanted to take Macro with her but she was teaching when I needed it. Go to class, ask questions and take notes. Very helpful and a very fair grader! I LOVED her! There is online homework that she will help you with if you ask. TAKE HER!!!

Is very kind and interacts with students. She will throw out questions on exams and assignments if the majority of students have problems with them, and is very fair at grading. Could grade things a little quicker though.

Professor Ruliffson is one of the nicest professors I've had. She knows how to explain the concepts well, and is willing to help as much as possible. She uses a program called Aplia for homework, and if you can do the homework, then you will do fine in the class. She pushes homework back as necessary and goes over the tests. Have fun!

Very nice teacher, I did take the time to ask for help which paid off at the end. its a hard class. I made sure to have study buddies and groups for the last two tests. It is annoying because she doesnt have many graded assignments and tests are weighed very heavly. Her lectures are not good. you have to read the Book and take notes

Attendance not mandatory but encourage by quizzes that are only collected to provide extra credit for being in class. Approachable. Friendly. Makes fun to learn economics. No midterm.

Great professor, make the class interesting and easy to follow. Allow note cards for almost all exams. Free points for attendance.

intro to microecon. is easy: show up to class, read your text and take notes and ALWAYS do aplia assignments before they are due.. dont worry youll do well if you use the book-there you can find the answers or examples to do these use the book for plia problem sets!! Lastly sometimes she lets you use a sheet of notes for tests if asked -true review

Attendance MANDATORY! Gives pop quizzes. Very understanding instructor and communicated extremely well through email or in person. Really knows her stuff and genuinely wants you to understand subject and make become something of yourself beyond her class. She will help you as long as you ASK QUESTIONS.

She is a very nice lady, if you show up to her class and actually pay attention you should do fairly well. Don't take this class if you plan to slack off. I made the mistake of skipping a class and I missed out on some important info, but if you schedule a meeting with her she is willing to help. I enjoyed her class. I recommend her.

Jane is honestly one of the most helpful teachers I've ever had. She is always willing to answer questions and provide feedback. She cares deeply for her students and wants us to succeed. Lectures are very informative and give you a different view of the world. There's no way you can try in this class and not have that reflected on your grades

Difficult tests unless you fully understand the material. Not concerned with specific details; ensures that you understand how it works and move on. Excellent course to prepare young students for a University setting. Difficult topic, well-explained.

Great professor,do the reading if you want to pass. Theres homework online,refer to the book, it helps a lot. ATTEND CLASS she gives great examples in class as well as participation points. Final exam wasn't as hard as I expected. Study, study because most of economics makes sense once you know the basic info.

The book is online. The software that we use is called MindTap. I do not know how much the book costs from the store, but this one is expensive directly from cengage. You NEED The mindtap version of the book though, as all the assignments are on there.

Her classes are almost all lectures. Sometimes they drag on. But she has a great personality and is great at explaining topics and is overall one of my favorite professors.

Jane was a great teacher.

Jane was a great teacher. The class was not hard so long as you are ready to put the work in. If you want an easy class with no effort shes not for you, but if you want a class want to actually learn she the perfect teacher. Very helpful and gives plenty of options to ensure you pass! P.S make sure to read

She is a great teacher, but she needs to clear up on her teaching skills, if your are looking for an outgoing personality and happy teacher she is the one, but if you want a good grade I wouldn't suggest her

Jane's class is lecture heavy, and I hardly learned from them. I mainly used the book and received help during office hours with assignments. The tests are straight-forward; if you actually read the book and do the assignments getting an A on the exams is easy. Would recommend to someone who is willing to study and learn alot.

Jane must really have a hard job. She is teaching mathematical concepts to people who may have not even taken algebra. I found the class to be extremely easy. There is plenty of practice & resources, but I don't think people were taking advantage of it, or just really struggle with math. I didn't like how the last test was given with the final.

Jane is a true gem and always goes above and beyond to ensure the students get the material. I really liked her and despite the fact she insist on reading the book, i aced this class without ever flipping a page in the book. merely by showing up and actually listening and asking questions. SHOW UP AND PAY ATTENTION. ASK QUESTIONS TOO!!!!!

Jane is a good professor. She gives good lectures, the assignments are clear, and the test are very strait forward and easy. There are a lot of assignments, but they aren't too time consuming. I liked how she connected the material with real life current events. I would definitely recommend taking her!

Jane as a person is the sweetest soul ever, but microeconomics is just a hard class, i would focus on showing up to class, and really studying for the exams because they are not easy, but jane is so sweet, its just the class thats hard.

She's super caring and nice but honestly i learned more from the book then her. She's great but ask lots of questions to pass her class. Schedule office hours. also really study hard for the exams. She teaches stuff in class but the tests are slightly harder then any of the assignments. SO ASK QUESTIONS

She gave really good lectures. She drew pictures on the board and tried hard to answer questions people had. She's very relaxed and helps you with anything. I wish I wanted to be an economist so I could keep taking her class!

Jane is very helpful and thoroughly answers every question in class. She also tries to learn students names which is thoughtful. You need the book to do pre-lecture assignments (which are due days before the actual lecture). The tests are kinda hard but if you practice you're fine. The classes uses Aplia which is annoying but manageable.

Love her as a professor, however this class was very hard to be interested in. Online HW was confusing and annoying (just because of the way its set up) & exams are HARD!! For most of them, the highest score a student got was around 75-80%. One nice thing is that sometimes there is room for easy points, but not always.

at first i was worried about this class but its not that bad. Econ is always a difficult subject to learn. But if you read the material and study for about 5/6 hours a week you should have no problem getting at least a B. the test qoestions are straight from the book or lecture. the only people i know who couldnt pass this class didnt try

Jane was so amazing to take as a professor. Shes always super flexible with deadlines and always asked if our class needed extensions. Her lectures are based off of power points which she posts ahead of time. I took her as a PSEO student, and I dont regret it. She deserves a waaaay better rate on here. Dont be intimidated to take her.

She is a great professor. Most people who grade her poorly do not grasp the concepts she teaches. I had her for economics and she made the subject extremely interesting and made me want to pursue a minor in econ! Do the homework, read, and ask for help and you will be extremely successful in her courses!

Have to go to the lectures or it will be very confusing. The class was hard but if you ask questions and pay attention it makes much more sense. There are pop quizzes that are pretty easy, but you can't make them up. Jane is a friendly teacher who was easy to talk to and able to work around my personal scheduling conflicts.

I took her for micro and macro, and as I was reading the reviews it seemed like the people who responded aren't going to college FOR economics, I am and I loved her classes. The content is fascinating in my opinion, and she was super helpful. If you enjoy economics and/or are pursuing a career in it, I definitely recommend her.

Jane was one of the most caring professors I've had at Anoka-Ramsey. She genuinely cares about each of her students and wants to see them succeed at the end of the day. Make sure to stay on top of coursework in her class and to attend so that you get a good understanding of the material. She's super approachable and flexible with help hours too!

For a class that is slightly more difficult than most Jane made it as easy as possible. None of the assignments that were assigned were large and difficult. The lectures mostly consisted of reviewing the textbook chapters after the assigned reading to explain the content more clearly.

Professor Ruliffson's class was a very average class. As long as you pay attention and do your work, you are deemed to pass the class. Nothing is very hard, the concepts may be confusing, but it is recommended to read the textbook. I didn't mind this class at all and I would take it again if I needed to. She's also not a harsh grader. Goodluck!

Very quick to respond to emails if needed plus all round very helpful if you need it. She changed the textbook she was using, there wasn't a lot of homework and it got pushed back a lot while she was figuring things out. Definitely learned things I'll use and wouldn't mind having her again.

Weekly homework that was pretty challenging but gave you more than one attempt at the question so you wouldn't lose points completely. Responded to emails quickly and was understanding when I had a family emergency. Work got lengthy some days but was fairly easy to understand. I would take her class again.

Professor Jane was amazing, I would say one of the best I've ever had. There could be a decent amount of homework, but she gives plenty of time to complete it. Her lectures were very helpful and she was always willing to help students and responds to emails quickly. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to truly learn about economics.

I took both her mirco and macroeconomics classes and loved them. definitely have to be at all the lectures because she does grade in class activities but hey are super easy and fun. She is super understanding too and extended deadlines to help students get full credit. I just wished she taught more subjects so i can take her again

She's nice and funny my friends. I took her for pseo 2023 and forgot a few things, but I remember the class was interesting! I might not be the most reliable, but she's kind, has extra credit, answers emails, and helps you learn if you're stuck. She isn't bad at all!Like all classes put in the time and effort reading, and it will pay off, I mean it

Prof. Jane's class has a lot of content and work, but attending lectures and using resources like unstuckstudy can really help. The material is challenging but engaging if you're interested in economics. Overall, a tough but rewarding course.

The class overall was difficult for me, I attended lectures but couldn't maintain very well between high school and college. I was quite literally failing the class on the day of the final and found out THAT DAY. She was so understanding so kind and caring, she reopened things for me and allowed me to get to a passing grade. She's truly amazing.

I took this class while in PSEO. It was averagely difficult for me. She does not grade any hand-done assignments until the end of the semester. But the weekly homework is automatically graded. Otherwise, the professor is nice and helpful.

I took Jane for PSEO in the fall 25 semester. She was a very nice proffesor and her class was interesting. I would zone out sometimes, but she made everything easy to understand. The last chapter is kind of difficult to understand, I will say that. She is a very nice person. There are 4 quizzes and one homework assignment each week.
