I learnt so much in this class! If you care about global issues this is a great class.

Nice lady. Decently interesting class - kind of a pointless required class. Easy A though.

gives a lot of interesting material to add to her lectures. tests are kind of tough because the wording of questions is often confusing, but she tries to help her students do well

Watched a lot of videos. In fact, probably had more days where we watched videos than had an actual lecture. Her tests are worded weird but other than the class is pretty easy.

Great teacher. She brings a lot of information to class including videos. Gives alot of extra credit toward end of quarter. Great teacher!

Amazing prof. Helps her students immensely. She brought in two top CEO's to speak to the class. Her international experiences add to the value of the class. For those of us who attend we learned a tremendous amount. She is empathetic with students, helps us with internships.

SHe was always really helpful and nice when i went in for help. She gets really cool speakers for class always, and definitely is able to make the material relatable with her stories.

If you have an interest in how the business world works outside of the U.S., then take this course. It discusses global economies, politics, free trade, WTO, etc. Good thought-provoking debates. Does require effort in reading, but well worth it. Tests are fair (if you studied)

Best class I have had, I learnt so much. Because the class is so large many folks skip class and end up making useless comments. Attend her class an you will learn so much.

This teacher is very organized, tests are predictablle, she draws upon her extensive international experiences and makes the class fun, she expects discussions. Keeps to the syllabus. Anyone who says she is stupid better have agood look at themselves. she's the best at UC. Moreover, I heard she has helped students with recommendations and jobs

Prof Apana has clarity, integrity and compassion. I could not have asked for a better teacher in Ethics.

This is an excellent class. Students who do not attend classes do badly. Some surprise quizzes are worth 5% of the grade. Great information from videos and her personal experiences in the business world. Loved it. Very knowledgeable instructor knows her literature,politics,economics and business. Well read and it came through in her lectures.

I can't understand why anyne would give a poor rating for this professor. The lectures often give a broad perspective on international business and the tests are easy. Read the chapters, look over the study questions, maps, and if you go to class fairly regularly you will get an A. The professor is always available and responds quickly to emails.

Prof is not bad. I just studied the articles she told us to read and the study questions and got an A did not really read the book. She has a lot of experience in the intb world and her stories and perspectives are great. Intb is growing and she asks questions that make you think and make sure to participate she loves that.

great teacher. tries to be funny but is mildly humorous. grades easy and is very interesting

She is a very helpful teacher if you take time to show a slight interest--this teacher has some of the best business connections and always helps students get jobs internships and brings in alot of professional to network with. Her tests info is alot from the book...she seems very well traveled and makes the class more relatable

I really liked Prof Apana's class. She was organized, we had rubrics for all assessments, she introduced current issues from articles like in yesterday's financial or economic times, so the class was always up to speed on what we need to know. Downside,the class has 200 students, half do not turn up and wake up to the syallabus at the very end!

I learnt a lot in this class. Prof Apana brought in # CEO's into th eclassroom which was awesome. She is helpful, hardworking,and made the clas fun. She made an effort to gett oknow every student in the class. All our assignments were graded on time and she is not afraid to give you the grade you deserve. Yes it was hard work and challenging howeve

Loved this class. The teacher brought in many of her consulting experiences into the classroom, which made it a fun learning experience. Weekly quizzez and some participation work. She give individual attention even though she has 220 students. very helpful. Listened to CEO of Cincy Bell one class.

Very helpful and a great teacher to talk to after class to help with job contacts. Often brings in CEOs or other business contacts from her consulting expereince. Loves class discussions--her participation grades are definitely boosted if partake in the discussions.

Dr Apana is methodical, organized,meticulous,she emails us when we do well in classwork she pays individual attention inspite of bigclasses.3tests,5 assignmen & 10 class presence make up the grade. She is passionate&experienced. Some extras: we hear world music,she has a cool twitter feed for the class.Connects her students to internships/jobs.

Straight forward, hard to do bad.

Never went to class. Read a chapter a day before the tests an you will get an A. tests are reasonable. Apana really cares about her students and sends you personal emails if you are doing well.

I loved Dr Apana's class, her material helped me get the job the I wanted, I could answer all the questions in the interview because of her classes. She puts amazing effort into her classes, she is very generous with PRS participation and has so much consulting experience. Best Teacher ever!;)

Great class! but 250 students! Read , answer questions, she will help connect you to people in industry. Instructor is very helpful, always pleasant in class, sometimes hilarious. Brings in so much of her international experience. I wish students would get off their open laptops and listen in class they would know what they are missing.

Just Loved this class. Her experience is awesome and what I liked was that she showed us the relevance of the material we were reading to current news, real live happenings in the world. She always let us frame our own opinions.

Not going to lie, the lectures are very long and can be boring. She does try to get the class to participate, but it doesn't work out very well. Attendance is somewhat mandatory because of the random PRS questions. She curves the exams generously. If you study, you will get an A. Not a hard course. Not much homework, no quizzes, no group projects.

I am not going to lie. I just loved the class and the teacher. I learned so much. I took her class again on non profits and Human trafficking . She has amazing experience and is well Informed. One can talk to her about history , literature or biology and she is equally proficient in all these subjects

I loved Dr Apana's class too , her material helped me get my dream job, the the interview was a breeze because of her classes. She puts amazing effort into her classes, organizes experiential activities in spite of the large class , she is generous with PRS participation and has much consulting experience. Best Teacher ever! I agree! :) :)

I simply love this class. I learned so much. be prepared to learn!

Easy A if you read what she posts on BlackBoard and follow the PRS questions. She's friendly and very knowledgable. It all seems a bit disorganized but it's not difficult. Not much HW, no group work, tests easy and generously curved.

I loved the class! She actually gave us projects that were real time!. I now know how to start an export import business. Was it hard and did we work hard? yes we did! But it was so well worth it. She never graded us negatively on our projects and that helped too as we were able to build up our grade. 2 thumbs up! She was clear in her expectations

Literally the best professor at UC. Helped me secure a job before I graduated. If you put in the work, she will take care of you. Lectures are always interesting thanks to her personality and work experience. Have taken 2 classes from her and received an A in all of them. Read the chapter before class. The class experience is valuable

I loved this class period! Instructor was great. Information was current and made me think. I got a lot out of this class. Dr Apana cares about students learning and being informed.

Shows lots of videos and usually has a quiz once a week.

You have a quiz once a week but all of the answers are on quizlet. Her exams are pretty much the quizzes. You have to not try at all to get a bad grade. I never went to class, hardly studied and did good

Dr Apana, loves to teach and it shows. She exposed us to current information each class through video, graphs, news clips, so we looked forward to each session & learned so much about the world. If it is all about doing well on tests then use the study guides and study the text and you will do fairly well. I loved the interactive classes and games.

She was incredible. This is everything I expected the COB to offer me. I felt I was actually getting something back that I will use in real life from this course. She loves to teach and she loves to watch us learn. She enjoys what she is doing and has a good time doing it. She is always willing to meet with students and talk with them

I agree, She helped me with an internship too. Great control of the material and caring professor. I learned a lot

Incredible teacher. She had a great way to start the class with Music. I was suprised by her depth of knowledge. I certainly learned a lot from this class. Her questions on the test were from my notes. She had some great activities too. She has a lot of business experience and is an entrepreneur herself. Was always available for questions.

Dr Apana is one of the finest professors that I have had. It was an honor to be taught by her. Compassionate, warm, genuine and so knowledgeable, she brings real world experience to the classroom. I have never met anyone like her. She cares about students, giving you her cell number to call if you ever have q's or need anything. Take her!

Loved the class. Clear guidelines. Very organized, on schedule . You need to make the effort to keep up with the schedule. Brings in great stories from her experience. Cares for her students. Loves her job and it shows. Study your text.

She was an amazing teacher. No matter your reason for taking her class, you'll love it! She really cares about her students and her job. She brings great enthusiasm and her extensive international experience to her lectures. Participation does matter !

Show up to get your attendance points and pay attention so you can pass tests and just about anyone can get an A

Ratee is a nice person. Her lectures seem to be all over the place sometimes but she mixes it up with activities to make things a little more fun. She cares about her students and it's clear that she enjoys teaching. Attendance is optional and you probably wouldn't miss a lot if you skipped. Exams are fairly easy and are all multiple choice.

Great class, but the lectures seemed to drag one. She'll tell everyone to buy the book, but there is no need to, it's a big waste of money. As long as you show up to class, do the assignments, and look over the previous quiz questions before the exam, you're sure to pass.

she is a very good professor, she made do manythings in class it wasn't just a lecture. she is funny and awesome

This was the worth class to sit through, but super easy. We asked her for our test to be online and she took a survey and everyone wanted it to be online

This Prof is the most well read & well rounded profs at Lindner college of business. Her class is dynamic, she brings current global topics into the classroom,displays its relevancy & relates it to what we are studying in the book chapter in a very disciplined way. You can talk to her on any topic from finance to biology. I am in her grad class too

Dr Ratee Apana, is a real gem,genuine, caring. What I loved about her teaching was the way she wove real world events into her material. It made us understand the purpose the practical implications of the course so much better. She is one of the best read profs at school. Talk to her about any topic and she has a breadth of knowledge.

Dr Apana's classes were so much fun. She brought real world learning into the classroom. She is clearly one of the most intelligent and knowledgeable professors I have met. Talk to her about any subject and she has in-depth knowledge. She is very well read and encourages us to do so. Lot of respect for this fine lady.
