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 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.

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!

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.
