Very helpful when you have questions. She gives credit for showing work on exams (even if you have the wrong answer!) Take her!!
She is best for fire. dont even think if you want a good grade.
She goes through material very quickly and her accent makes it hard to understand, but she's 100% always willing to help you our and really seems to enjoy her job. Very specific about what she wants on tests.
Very Nice and helps out with anything. If you fail test gives you homework problems to bump grade to a C. Take her if you want to pass FIRE, doesn't fail anyone. Make sure you go to class
nice life.......cannot understand her
i am taking her right now and she is the most helpful professor i have ever had. if you want to pass fire i recommend her. she doesn't give partial credit for answers anymore. her accent really isn't that bad either.
Don't be turned off by her name. She is not that hard to understand if you just ask her to slow down. She is awesome at teaching if you go to class and listen. she will also help you on homework prob anytime. She did some take home tests when i took her last year.
Awesome prof! She does anything to help you, she gives you take home tests for parts of each test and tells you that you can come in and she will tell you if you have it right before you turn it in and if you dont she shows you step by step what to do!
I would recommend taking FIRE with this teacher. She is fairly easy (considering its FIRE) and she is very helpful and understanding!
Good teacher, very helpful and fairly easy.
This is the greatest finance teacher at the school. Everyone told me before taking the class that finance is horrible. Not with Janikan. She's awesome, if you can't pass with AT LEAST a C quit school now.
She is a good and very helpful professor. She will try to help you when you approach her.
Goes a million miles an hour. Don't skip class. Pop quizzes, but she will tell u how to get to the answer and even what it is. Doesn't use the book. She tells exactly what's going to be on test. She'll tell if take home quizzes are right if u ask her--she gives away the answers.
Great teacher. Wants you to learn and do well. Willing to work with you outside of class if you need help. Good test prep. info.
She is the kind of teacher who think that the best way to make student do well is to continuously work with them . I will recommend taking her for all your finance courses.She is helpful , is always willing to assist you during her office hours.
Best professor I've had at SCSU. Business professors at this college outta sit in her class for a session and taKe some pointers in how to teach. She doesn't maKe you feel liKe an idiot and she's not rude if you have questions liKe most other professors.
awesome professor. She is by far the best i've had and i've been at state for 3 years now. She helps you out to the max. little effort and regular attendance will earn you an A.
She's wonderful.
Best Professor ever! She makes it so easy to understand a really difficult subject. If you can, take this class!!! Interesting and you will learn a lot!
take with this professor. She is a very kink. take this class with her any time.
Great Professor! Very helpful. Tests are hard, but if you study you should do ok. I ended up with an A in the class and she is by far the best teacher for this class. Explained things very well when I didn't understand some of the material.
Great professor! she is always willing to help. Go to class and you will do fine
she is a very great teachare i recomand her class. the subject is hard but if you study you will be fine.
She explians things very well. She tells you whats going to be on the test. Her tests are by no means easy so study and go to class. This class can come up and bit you if you don't study and don't do the home work and even then you can end up worse off in the class than you though. I have to take the class again and will take it with her again.
Tough class, but a very helpful teacher. She is sometimes difficult to understand, but if you ask she will take the time to explain. Be prepared to work for your grade, because she does not hand out unearned grades. Work with your group, during group assignments and that will help. A clear understanding of Algebra is a necessity to pass.
Hard class but she makes is sooo much easier than it should be. Recommend taking her if possible.
She is the best finance teacher I have heard about at SCSU and it def. holds true. Just go to class and copy down her notes and then STUDY- your an easy B. She tells you the exact problems that will be on the test and quizes and they are exactly what you are given for HW. If you give her a bad rating good luck with passing FIRE with anyone else :)
She has sufficient knowledge however; she is too fast when she teaches in the class. I personally do not like the way she teach
Hard class, be sure you show up or you will be lost. Besides her ridiculously hard tests the class isn't that bad.
BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY EVER!! Very HARD, avoid AT ALL COSTS, has favorites, does not give you hope at all
yea, well she is NOT a good teacher, but she smiles a lot, if you want to pass take some one else
she is realy stuped professor I never had that kind of pr since I came to SCSU
Wouldn't it be great to go to class and actually learn something? Well, it probably won't happen here!
She is the worst professor in my whole SCSU career!!! She does not care and she makes you feel dumb if you ask a question. She expects WAY to much out of begginers and should seriously look at the student's faces!
from the one class i took with her i learnt nothing and when i go talk to her in office hours she has like 20 people waiting coz i dont think anyone understands her teaching. she drives a mercedes benz but im not sure how she was able to buy that and keep her job with this kind of teaching. she replies to my emails with one word. "Yes" "No" etc...
Prof moves very fast, you learn so much in one class period. Tests are ok if you study well
For sure the worst teacher ever!!!! She does not deserve the title of a professor!!!! Goes WAY to fast and is VERY unclear in the lectures, maybe if she actually had class she wouldn't have to speed by!!
Prof. Supanvanij is good. She does go pretty fast but if you actually put forth some effort it isn't bad at all. Plus she is always willing to help if you come to her office. Do all of the homework because most of the exam problems are exactly like them. Also, she tells you pretty much exactly what is on the tests. I would take her again.
alway willing to help
Refund please!
Seems nice, but is EXTREMELY HARD!
not cool
the worst teacher ever. she doesn't care anything about students. i hope she is fired now.
I agree, she is the worst teacher ever. She needs to get fired.
worthless
She moves fast through the material. I felt prepared for the test but still did bad on them even though she told us what was on them. I spent HOURS outside of class and got the worst grade of my life! I would not take her again.
Very hard
Goes through material fast. The tests are hard but she lets you know exactly what's on them. As long as you look over and practice the material she says is on the test, you should get a good grade. She is also willing to help if you go to her office.
She always asks if everyone understands before moving on to another topic. She will help you work through problems on assignments and tests if needed. Very friendly and fun. She tells you exactly what is on the tests, but they are still difficult.
very fast paced but not bad once you get used to it. No points for attendance but you have to be in class if you want to have a clue whats going on. DONT BUY THE TEXTBOOK! completely useless. She only uses her D2L notes. She wants you to do well and lets you know exactly what will be on tests and quizzes.
Very broad knowledge. Good teaching skill. Helpful when you have questions. Projects are huge, but you learn a lot.
She is one of the best finance professors in SCSU. Extremely smart, extremely helpful and her mind spins incredibly fast as she was a forex trader before. I've never seen her holding a book while teaching, she remembers everything she is gonna teach & she comes up with easy ways to make us understand. Accent isnt a prob she repeats a lot!THUMBS UP
Janikan is a great professor if you are a fast learner. She is very clear about what is expected (she tells you exactly what's on the test). Attendance is not required but she goes very fast, so if you miss a class you will miss a lot. She is happy all the time and always willing to help. DO NOT BUY THE BOOK. I never even opened it.
Really knows her stuff, but very difficult to learn from. Moves at breakneck speed from one concept to the next. Problem sets have do be done in groups, which can lead to you not practicing certain content, if you aren't careful. Ended up withdrawing to take with a different professor, and wasn't alone in doing so.
She wasn't helpful at all. I went to ask for help since I was confused on some class concepts and she told me to ask a neighbor, but the whole class was lost so asking a neighbor never helped. She didn't care to take time to review before tests when we asked her to. She kept giving us new material that would not be on the test.
I loved Janikan's teaching style. She taught all by examples and told you what would be on your tests. The book was useless. Just take notes from her lecture. At times, she was hard to understand, but she would always repeat herself if you ask her to. She's very willing to help with your homework anytime she's in her office.
Fast paced, but very clear and helpful. Go to office hours if you have any questions! Do not skip class, it is very easy to fall behind and get lost. She won't repeat projects so make sure you are in class. She tells you exactly what is on tests so you can prepare. No reason to not get an A. Don't get the textbook.
Don't miss a class or else you will fall behind. She is always willing to help, so take advantage of her office hours! She makes sure the class understands the material before she moves on! I found this class really interesting and would take another class with her for sure!
Wouldn't recommend taking she is very difficult to understand and moves through material quickly. Prepare to study heavily outside of class for the test (at least 5-10 hours per exam). Watch out for the trick questions on her tests as well she does a lot of them. I got my first C in her class and I worked hard for it.
I love the way she teaches;very clear. Just be ready to increase your focus in class and you'll do well. Write everything she says/writes and you'll not struggle much. make sure you ask her any question you might have, she's very helpful. You'll know exactly what's on the exams, all you'll need is practice till you're confident.
She was the best teacher I ever had for 300 or up classes. Her lecture very straight forward and easy to understand. She teaches very clear and easy to understand. Exams are pretty easy and she tells what will be on the exam. I will definitely recommend taking her class. I wish I can have all my finance classes with her. Easy A guys :)
Knows the material well and is enthusiastic, however she is very soft spoken and VERY difficult to understand. I have taken classes from a variety of professors from differing nationalities at this university and so far she was the only one I simply couldn't adapt to. Ended up teaching myself everything and not even trying to follow along .
She knows her material very well... But horrible delivery of materials in class to students. She speaks too fast so taking notes is hard to keep up when taking notes. Difficult to understand at times. Do yourself a favor and don't take this class.
Janikan is very caring and has a lot of passion. It is very difficult to understand her to the point where it limited my ability to learn in her class. It is very difficult to learn when you cannot understand the professor. I am happy that she was kind and energetic which made the inability to understand easier to deal with.
Knows what she is talking about. She lectures very very fast and it is hard to keep up with. Worst of all is she makes you turn in your notes after class making it hard to study for the tests. Does offer some extra credit after the tests.
She was the best teacher ever at SCSU for me. I know most students love her and saying awesome about her. I have no idea how people are rating poor like this. I think those students were unable to understand 300, 400 classes at all. Class was very easy, no need to read book. Everything super straight and she tells exactly what will be on the exam.
Do yourself a favor and avoid taking this class. She seems like she knows the material very well in and out, but she has a horrible method of delivery when teaching the material to the class. Do not expect for her to slow down to understand the material. Her accent will make it challenging for you to pay attention. Don't step into the ring of fire
No need for the textbook, she teaches everything that she puts on the exam. Tells you exactly what to study to do good on the exam and give you problems just like the ones on the exam. Grade is based on 3 exams, 1 paper, group homework, and participation. Lots of extra credit. Come to class everyday and you will do well. Great professor!
Horrible delivery of teaching the material. If you are not a finance major and you have to take this course, do not expect to fully grasp the materials. Teacher is not available during office hours to get extra help. There is no tutor to get extra help to prep for exam. 3 exams and 1 group project. Will not take the time out to slow down.
A lot of comments say she is tough but really if you are a GOOD student and can follow along on lectures you will get along just fine. She tells you what is on each exam as well as specific homework questions. Tests are very straight forward!!!! Shes very intimidating with her first day speech but is an over great professor! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!
Janikan is great! She really cares about students succeeding. The first day of class she made the course seem extremely difficult, which it is if you don't study. She tells you what will be on the test so as long as you practice and put in work, you will get a good grade! Highly recommended!!
She is the best teacher Ive ever had! She is clear about whats important and whats on the exam. If you come to every class and study for it using class materials you are gonna get an A for sure. Her grading system is very clear and she grade everything very quickly, so you always have access to how you are doing. Again, she is the best.
This class is very fast paced. In the beginning, I thought I was going to hate it. The professor is so understanding. You will want to take very good notes. She explains what will be on each test and what to expect for everything. Very good at answering questions. I am so glad I took her class, she explained things in a very clear way for everyone.
All formula based, no conceptual questions. Group homework all the time. The entire class was out of 100 points, which four tests were in the range of 12-25 points each and one paper for about 15 points. Everything must be in detail in a specific way or no points for you.
She probably thinks we only have one class which is her class, the work on it is unbelievable, It is a required course and she is the only one teaching. Doesnt really care for your situations and are not willing to help you in anyway
If you can avoid this professor please do, she is the worst professor I have ever had. She goes way to fast and doesn't explain things, when she is asked a question she is rude and unhelpful. Her class average on tests is a F and she is the most boring teacher to listen to. Avoid at all costs, she also gives herself good ratings don't be fooled.
AVOID THIS CLASS AT ALL COSTS! The worst Professor at SCSU. Extremely boring lectures, exam grade average for the class is an F, extremely picky on everything, flies through problems and does not take the time to actually explain anything, and most importantly she is insanely rude. Seriously, save the time and take it with a real Professor.
Worst Professor at SCSU.
AVOID taking this class with this professor. Try to take at other MNSCU school & have credits transferred. Professor moves through material super fast. If not a financial guru you will struggle. No tutor available for this class. Does not provide full lectures, quickly runs through material. Records lectures but will not post to watch after class
Alright, to be completely straight, Janikan and this class are pretty hard. She doesnt always explain topics super in-depth, so be prepared to do some self-teaching. DONT MISS THE LECTURES. Literally goes through the problem sets step by step. Also, skip the book, opened it TWICE and it didnt help. She is a great professor and will help.
She is the worst professor I've ever had. She moves very fast and is hard to understand. She knows what she is talking about, but is not good at teaching it too the class. Three tests and one group project. Group project is tough. She does not explain it well at all and just expects it to get done.
Professor Supanvanij is awesome overall. She really takes the time to help out any students who ask. The class work can be pretty difficult at times but she reviews what will be on her tests multiple times and gives plenty of extra credit. Attendance is not graded, but missing multiple classes will make it difficult to catch up.
Overall she is an okay professor. Note that her deadlines are very confusing, as she will pick random times to make things due. Her lectures are hard to follow, but she is willing to help when needed.
This professor is teaching an asynchronous summer course and expects us to be in groups on specific days and times. Very upset, as I am trying to graduate and this is the only elective available that is online. For my understanding, asynchronous online courses are on your own time and not depending on other students.
Too much homework with less credit
Has the most random deadlines, but you have to search for each of them. Asynchronous class but makes you do loads of group work that would be easier if it was done alone. If you miss a deadline she will offer no help and just gives you a zero. Her instructions are hideously unclear and super specific. Definitely the worst professor at SCSU.
DO NOT EVER TAKE THIS IS THE WORST PROFESSOR!!! Seriously I don't know how SCSU hired this professor she had a thick accent and she hauls in her videos! She knows what she is explaining to herself but not sure if anyone in the class is learning a thing!! ALL THE GOOD RATINGS ARE FROM HERSELF!
She's awful. She opens exams at the most random times (she doesn't follow her own syllabus and opens exams at very inconvenient times). She's a harsh grader and takes points from every little thing. How SCSU still allows her to teach is unfathomable. I am set to graduate this Fall but right now, it's in jeopardy.
Prof. Supanvanij was great. She gave clear grading instructions and notes. I recommend attending her in‑person lectures because the material is easier to understand. She genuinely cares about her students, and it shows. There are plenty of extra‑credit opportunities, so take advantage of them. If you put in the work, you'll earn a good grade.
