Absolutely LOVED Pro. Kerner. He was always quick to respond to all my emails. I also called him at the start of the term with questions. He was very pleasant and helpful.

This teacher sets you up for success. Everything throughout the semester is laid out easy to understand and I did not have to spend additional time wondering when something was due or where to turn in an assignment. I would absolutely take a class from this professor again. This professor takes pride in their job and it reflects on his students.

Dr. Kerner is arguably one of the best professors I have had at Athens State. Very responsive to emails, all coursework was very clearly presented and not difficult to access, and he was extremely kind and helpful whenever issues would arise. I would sign up for another one of his classes without hesitation. Highly recommended!

I had Dr. Kerner for MG 420 & 417; he was fantastic! He provided clear information & would instantly respond to emails. For MG 420, make sure you watch his debrief videos & ask him ?'s as needed. He will help you but will remain fair to the other teams. If Dr. Kerner is available for any class take him, you wont regret it! Best professor at Athens!

I have taken Dr. Kerner for more than one class. Highly recommend on the basis of accessibility, as well as an obvious sincere desire to see students succeed in the classroom and at life. Make sure to attend class or watch the videos posted, and you will be just fine.

This class has a business simulation that can be very overwhelming at first but Kerner uploads numerous videos and explains everything very well. He also uploads feedback videos after every round so you know how to improve. I actually enjoyed this class and I cant say that about many others.

Dr. Kerner is one of the very best professors I've ever had; I've been to 4 different colleges over my educational career. You do have to put forth the effort in his class, but he is immensely helpful with any questions, addresses concerns to the best of his ability, and provides great and timely feedback throughout the course. Highly recommended!!

I took Dr. K for a few course while I attended Athens State. He takes the time for you to understand the difficult material. I would definitely recommend Dr. Kerner. He truly wants his students to succeed!

This class in general is difficult due to learning another program, but Dr. Kerner helps every step of the way! You can tell how much he loves his job by how well he interacts and engages his students. If this was not my last semester I would look forward to having him again as a professor! Do yourself a favor and select his class!

Coming into this class I was very intimidated and overwhelmed, but it turned out to be the best class I've ever taken! DEFINITELY watch the lectures, take notes, and follow directions (it'll take you far in the simulation). Gives in-depth feedback in weekly debriefing videos. Ask questions he's very nice and willing to help!

Dr. Kerner truly cares about each and every student. I had the opportunity to be a student in his Management of Change class. The class was very applicable to my job. I was able to bring some of my studies into the workplace, and help resolve issues that my workplace dealt with at the time. Take Dr. Kerner if you are ever given the opportunity!

An absolute treasure of academia. Should you have the opportunity to interact with Dr. K you will certainly be left with an overwhelming feeling of compassion and understanding. Dr. K knows the struggles of adult students and respects the need for balance. There are no shortcuts given, but there is always his helping hand extended.

Capsim courses have a learning curve and he was extremely helpful in getting us going and leading us to success. I loved that he made detailed lectures responding to our simulation results each week. Hes very friendly and caring, even as an online-only student like me. He left an impression and thats hard in this format.

Dr. Kerner is one of the best professors that I had during my time at Athens State. He really cares about the students and provides a lot of feedback through debrief videos for the business simulation. He is also very quick to answers any questions or concerns students have. Without question, I would suggest to any student to take him for MG420.

Wow is all I can say about Dr. Kerner. Capsim has been difficult, but I am better better person because of this professor. I have never had another professor as caring and kind as he is. Athens State Business Department is so incredibly lucky to have this professor and I hope that they know how valuable he is to students. I absolutely recommend him

Professor Kerner is an amazing teacher and very helpful with the course. If you have any questions, then he will get back to you at the most an hour. Jim Kerner is very caring and he does not want you to stress out about the class. I love how he explained the class in detail and it is not overwhelming with the class. Professor Kerner is a blessing.

One of the best professors that I have had! Always took the time to go over questions students didn't understand. Very fast response time! What I thought was going to be a difficult class because of the software turned out to be my favorite class because of Dr. Kerner!

By far, one of the more enjoyable courses at ASU. Dr. K gives good feedback, is accessible most anytime, sets clear expectations up front, and encourages any and all questions from students. The simulation used during this course, although stressful at times, really provides immense value and promotes teamwork.

The MG420 course with Professor Kerner is a standout. Though challenging due to the business simulation, his engaging teaching and detailed feedback make it highly rewarding. Leveraging resources like Unstuck ai alongside the course materials can set you up for success.

This is my 2nd time having Dr. Kerner at Athens State University. He has been incredibly helpful, responsive, caring, and has shown up for his students at all hours to ensure they are successful in this course. If you are struggling in this course, do not hesitate to reach out to him. It's obvious he truly cares about the success of his students.
