Wow, excelent teacher. Best teacher I had my first semester! If you show her that you care, she'll do her part and then some to help you out. If you cut class, make stupid jokes/talk during lecture, don't show any sort of effort then this is not the teacher for you. For those who care this is a great teacher.

Professor Janice Brown is very knowledgeable and experienced in the field. She may not be the nicest person but if you want clear and organized lectures and deliverables then you should choose her. If you are always late and you like to use your phone in class and you are not so serious with your studies, then it's best to avoid her.
