Mrs. Akers is the best professor ever! She gives lots of work, but I learned more from here than from any other professor in the entire university.
Professor Akers helped me out so much. I don't like giving presentations, but she encouraged us and guided us along so we would all do well. She assigned papers instead of tests and gave guidelines for the papers.
I love Ms. Akers! She's one of the nicest and best professors I've had so far.
Great Professor
Professor Akers is a great teacher. She made class fun and engaging. I would gladly take any course with her in it. She goes above and beyond to make sure you understand the material. Advice - don't be an immature kid and you will be fine.
The class was well organized and interesting throughout. I feel the information I learned was more than relevant to my degree and I will retain it because She made it seem relatable. She deserves much respect.
Prof. Akers was phenomenal! She truly cares about the students. She engages each student into the discussions, which are fun, and you actually want to be engaged in them! She is hilarious and energetic, and truly wants everyone to do well in the course. She is very easy to contact outside the class room as well! Great all-around teacher!
Professor Akers is an incredible instructor! She is very funny and bubbly and she truly cares about student success! You can tell she really loves her job and she wants everyone to do great. I highly recommend this professor!
Very fair and accommodating.
Prof. Akers loves to get us to talk. She brings candy to even get us involved. She does lecture from power points, but it's good. She's helpful with information and preps us for tests.
I loved her class and would take another one of her classes in the future. 10/10 would recommend
Would take her for other classes. Has engaging lectures. She is very personable and down to earth. Encourages participation through discussions between class members during lectures and team debates.
would take this class again, she is a really good at teaching.
This was an awesome class, it teaches you as much as you want to learn without pressuring you to memorize random things to pass.
Professor Akers is very friendly and positive, and she most definitely wants you to succeed. Her teaching style is very laid back, and unless you are incredibly lazy, her class is a very easy A.
Professor Akers is awesome. She wants you to succeed and not just memorize materials for tests. She focuses more on presentations and class participation.
Mrs. Akers is awesome. She surprised me with her topic knowledge and her passion for us to learn. She's funny and helps relate the text by using real life stories. She's big about making sure everyone talks. Show up, do your work, and you will do well.
She is fun to be around and is bery good at giving a different perspective that will help with budding managerial skills.
She's a good teacher and is really nice and friendly to everyone who puts forth an effort
Prof Akers is awesome. She is energetic and makes the topic fun.
Great teacher, very hands on, caring, wants you to succeed, loves her jobs and students, and will talk to you about the right paths to go after school.

Professor Akers is awesome. Not much more needed to be said.
Professor Akers really cares. I'd take her class again.
She is the best professor I've ever met!!!
Took Prof. Akers for OML 400. She is caring, genuine, clear expectations & syllabus, makes topics interesting, proposes challenging class discussions, easy to access outside class, & very quick to grade assignments. Do your assignments in a timely manner, put forth an effort, and you will pass with flying colors. I would recommend her to anyone.
All online. Not hard but don't wait til the last min to do the work it will pile up.
I've thoroughly enjoyed this class. Prof. Akers was very responsive, and has a great sense of humor!
Great at communicating what is needed. Ms. Akers followed up on her promises, and I would recommend her to any of my peers.
This professor always gave us weekly updates on what was to do in the class. She was also very understanding as when i had problems submitted she gave me extra time to complete.
She gives extra credit so much, but more importantly she cares about us doing good in her class! I will be on the look out to take her again!
She is really good teacher and looks out for her students. She really wants everyone to be successful.
I really liked the activities she made us do in order to read more about management and leadership.

Ms. Akers is great. She really wants to see you succeed so she gives you plenty of extra credit. Her homework is clear and as long as you do the work, your grade shouldnt ever drop below an A. Her discussions are easy to respond to because she gives you plenty of criteria to discuss. Learn smarts correlate with tests. Great professor a MUST TAKE.
Thank you for everything!
Helps you. Easy to talk to and understands. Clear grading. Just do you work and study.
Akers is amazing. Very down-to-earth, approachable, makes class entertaining and fun! Easy but very educational.
She gives us real world experiences and situations and tests our decision making skills in the moment. Wonderful professor, would take her again in a heartbeat.
Mrs. Akers is one of the best business professors that I have had at reinhardt university. She is very clear about what she wants from you, as well as very leanient and humorous.
Mrs. Akers understands her classshes a younger professor so that gives her an advantage, but it works. She explains everything very well in class and the work gives everyone a chance to voice their opinion. Id definitely take this class again if I could. Shes an amazing professor.
Professor Akers is a great professor she understand students and work on getting the students engaged. She also wants the students to asked questions to help them understand.

If you show up and throw in some commentary during class you will pass. Shes a great teacher and had lots of fun in the class.
There arent many assignments. The ones that are assigned arent difficult. Also get ready to color.
Prof. Akers is very understanding and an amazing professor. I would 100% recommend to take her class.
Great Professor , Great Time
One of my favorite professors. If you do your work you will do great in FYS 101. Gives extra credit and is very understanding!
AMAZING professor, she really cares about her students and is extremely friendly, personal and entertaining. Not your average class, some days are spent coloring and watching videos, make sure you show up and do the few assignments that are given and you are set.
This class is an easy A! She is am amazing professor and makes the class so interesting. Not a lot of homework!
She's awesome
Shes amazing
She is my best professor for my first year of college.
She's absolutely amazing!
I love this teacher.
She's awesome. Hands down, best I've had.
She's funny and a great professor.
Good teacher, pretty easy
She's the best. Just do the work and show up.
Professor Akers is amazing, I'm so glad I got to have her as my FYS teacher. She made the transition to college so much easier, and no matter what she has your back. I couldn't have asked for a better teacher.
Easy class. Very fun and informational.
Prof. Akers' FYS class was very impactful on me, I missed some classes, and she helped me with catching up and bringing my grade up. Very caring and engaged with her students, and above all , understanding.
Probably the best professor you could ask for !
She's an awesome professor
She was awesome. 8am class could have been bad, but she made it worth coming to class.
Caring and understanding in order to fail you must absolutely want to. Like I stated very understanding to things going on outside of the classroom. If you need help she's easily accessible as well. Overall just a great teacher respect her and her class and you should do fine.
Best professor I have. Genuinely cares about students. Willing to work with late work.
Once she took over the second half of the semester, she literally took off so much pressure with our work load. She's fun and amazing, you'll literally have a blast with her as your teacher.
I took her online management class and it was great!
Great professor! Lots of chances for extra credit, very clear and concise about the class and grading. You have to do some work but she helps out a lot!
She is a brilliant teacher - I have really enjoyed having her as a professor. She lets you know upfront what is expected, and she genuinely wants you to understand the material and pass.
Try to keep up with hw and thats it
Easy online class! Professor kept you updated and helped when needed!
Class is well explained and nothing confusing, just have to be good at time consumption.
Very helpful! Love the feedback!
The professor was quick to respond to any email and very helpful with any questions.
Took her for an online class and loved it. Super easy, gave lots of extra credit opportunities. Feels like a lot of busy work from all the reading though.
I took her online BUS 301 class and really enjoyed it. You either have a discussion post or current event due every week along with two chapter of homework and two chapter quizzes. If you can manage your time effectively, I highly recommend taking this class with this professor. Very helpful and always looking out for best of students.
It wasnt too bad. This was my first online class so I say it was pretty good.
She was very quick to respond and was excellent all semester. This was a great class and she was a vital part to the success I had. I would definitely want her to be my professor again.
Appreciated the great feedback and opportunity for extra credit because I am not a great test taker .
Good informational class
I really enjoyed her class and the discussion board topics.
Good class, could be better about grading assignments faster - works with students and understands outside commitments for adult learners who have full time careers as well as being a student.
Great professor. I enjoyed her class and her consistent expectations. The discussions allowed for all of us to share our experiences in our own lines of work. Great class for adult learners, but prepare to write!
Very caring teacher
She texted us every week informing us about what was due and she gave us a lot of extra credit options. We had to write about what we learned in this course which was really helpful.
I love Prof. Akers! I got behind the first week and she worked with me to catch up. She is helpful and gives extra credit.
Great class to take. She gives lots of opportunities for extra credit so there is no reason that you shouldn't pass the class.
Wasnt a hard class at all, tProf. Akers is very helpful and constantly reaches out. If you do all of the work its an easy A.
Jessica Akers is a wonderful teacher. She always gives great feedback and was up to date with every assignment. I enjoyed the class and learned a lot from it. She made it fun and interesting, I would 100% recommend this class to a friend.
Great professor! She gives a lot of opportunities for extra credit, which is a great grade booster. Very easy class to pass.
Awesome class
Straight forward with a moderate amount of reading and participation.
Great online class, we received emails every week detailing whats due and a chance at extra credit.
This was a very easy course if you did your readings, and homework. I took a few hours per week to work on them, and it was extremely easy. Professor Akers is very kind and easy to work with. I had no issues throughout the semester. Would highly recommend to ANYONE, Great class.
Great course taught me essential principles of business. If you dedicate and put in your time and turn your assignments in on time, you should easily pass.
I love professor akers! The class was boring with the reading but she made it all good.
Do the work and you'll be fine.
I would take her again she actually cares about her students.
Prof. Akers is aware of every detail of the class so that is important for students. Also she taught us in a clear way with good materials.
She is a great teacher really tries to make sure you succeed and if you ever need help on anything she will work with you to find the answer.
Love that she gave us weekly reminders for all our work due. Made sure we all knew exactly what had to be done.
she really helps you out. she will do anything to give you extra credit points. she tries really hard to get you pass the class. homework and quizzes are super easy and it is basically an effort class. she is a professor that is super clear and straight to the point of what you have to do and how much you have to do. overall take this class!!!!!!!!
She is an excellent teacher. she will do anything to help you pass.
Professor Akers was great. She did everything she could to make sure we knew what was due each week and we passed. She gave us extra credit each week. Take this class!
Great class. Extra credit. I emailed her and she got back to me right away.
She is the nicest teacher Ive have heard she really worked with me to helped me succeed in her class. Really appreciated her as a teacher.
Great professor. A lot of extra credit opportunities.
I took Principles of Management as an 8 week course, so lots of reading/note taking during that time. But readings were manageable and more interesting than your typical Textbook. Also she gave lots of extra credit opportunities. Basically impossible to fail if you do what shes asks you to.
Absolutely love Professor Akers. I have taken 3 of her classes and if possible, will continue to take her other classes. All of her classes are online; however, she does not make the workload easy. Everything she assigns is useful and informational and it encourages you to better understand the material. I recommend taking any of her classes!
I absolutely love love love this professor. She was so sweet and knew us athletes couldn't always make it and she always was super understanding and helped us comprehend everything she was teaching us.
This teacher is excellent. She does not believe in death by power point, so the lessons are fun. We played all sorts of games and heard from many guest speakers.
This class was online, and she was such an amazing help. She would read rough drafts of papers and give feedback. Any time there was an issue, she responded quickly to help me and offered help with things I was struggling with.
Professor Akers is extremely helpful and makes sure you succeed in this class. The workload is manageable, and she offers weekly reminders and extra credit opportunities. I found Unstuck AI really useful for study prep.
Not really what I expected when it came to what people said about her. She's clearly not a subject matter expert, nor particularly available outside of class and standoffish on grading. I won't take her again, plenty of other better professors to choose from at RU.
Avoid if you can. Everything I've read in these reviews are completely accurate. The course material isn't hard, she makes it unnecessarily difficult. You could understand the content inside and out, but if you don't present it in the way she wants (which I'm still unsure what she wants) she will give you a terrible grade.
What's up with Dr. Akers vanishing in the middle of the semester? Just went and found another job and took off? She was a so-so teacher and fake super friendly. Class was not an effort, more freshman/high school level quality. She's gone so I can't advise you taking her, but for real, she was not worth the time.
Thank god she's gone. One of the most unprepared "professors" at Reinhardt. Unclear teaching, everyone was questioning her "business" skills and now she just disappeared with no idea what happened. Not a satsifactory experience with a teacher.
