She?s very intimidating. Follows everything from the textbook but if you write what you study from the text, she?ll say it?s too vague and she doesn?t know what you?re talking about. Which I think isn?t right because how are we suppose to know if that?s all the textbook says. This is for a Bachelor?s course, so if I were you I wouldn?t recommend.

She is an amazing professor and so helpful throughout the entire semester. She cares about her students and always answers any questions you might have and is not judgy about it. There is homework about every week, but is not difficult because she is thorough with each lesson. You will leave the class knowing the information.

Prof Werner's teaching truly prepares you for what is to come as you move along the FBM track. She is always willing to meet in her office to help you understand the material. While challenging, if you are willing to put in the work, it will go a long way. Homework is involved, but it is so helpful - especially for exam prep!!!

I took this class during the summer and COVID. It was slated for in-person but changed to distance learning. For all the disruption, the class was well organized. Im not a fan of Voice Threads in blackboard but, her instructions were clear and expanded on the reading. Obviously the professor took the time to make the class engaging and truly cared

Professor Werner is by far one of the best professors I have had at FIT. She is extremely knowledgeable about the industry and makes sure you understand what is happening in class. There is homework every week, but it perfects your retail math skills so well. This class also prepares you for the industry, which is extremely important! Take her!

She's a really nice teacher and is passionate. She's good at teaching the material, but it is a lot of work and not easy. You can't slack in this class. The weekly homework would take about 2-3 hours to do. Get a class buddy if you're taking her, it makes the work less daunting and easier to do. Just stay on top of your work and pay attention.

Absolutely fabulous woman. My favorite at FIT so far. Is extremely interested in the content she is teaching, encourages students to stay on top of work, and grades fairly. Tests can be difficult, specifically multiple choice. Very obscure, detailed questions that certainly cannot be answered if the reading is not completed. Overall, wonderful job!

I would not recommend this professor. I had her for Merchandising math and she made it more complicated than it needed to be. We have to do pre h.w before we can do the actual h.w! She can also be condescending when u ask a question and are still confused after she "explains" it. There is way too much h.w and the class feels like a burden.

Jane Werner is the worst professor I've ever had. She doesn't help when you ask questions on the material. I met with her for extra help outside of class multiple times and she would just tell me I was wrong when I got a question wrong. All the homework is counted like a test grade, which is also very stressful. Don't take her class if possible.

All Professor Werner wants is for; you to learn and understand the material. Yes, she does give Pre-Hw, but it helped, and combined with the HW, it's the same amount of questions any other professor would give. Anyone who has given a bad review didn't put enough time and effort into the class. Mind you I've never been good at math.

If math is not your best subject, definitely reach out to Prof Werner in the beginning of classes to let her know. She is always open to helping her students, I cant even tell you how many times I probably emailed her for help. She would go through every quiz/test we took and double-check it to make sure we get as many points as we deserved.
