shes a nice woman, but really cant teach.hard tests.half the class is failing
compared to Prof. Gabb this lady is the best teacher in the world
No Comments
Very hard teacher. do not take. she will fail u. u'r better off getting a F then
This is one of the most horrible professors here..Do NOT take Her!
might be the worst most unforgivable teacher ive ever had
Definitely knows her material but can't teach it to others. I got an F and I'm an economics major. Do not take her class.
bad teaching skills
honestly the class is very difficult. she is a great lasy and if you actually do the work she assigns and actually study for her tests,you dont have much to worry about.great prof.
Seriously if you do her work, pay attention in class, and actually go you'll do fine. I had her for Financial Management, and if u wanna pass with a good grade, take her. My final was open book :)
absolutely worst teacher... can't teach if her life depended on it... her test for macro are impossible although she doesnt give any hw she is hard!!!
horrible
learnt a lot

she is about the only teacher worth my money in St. johns. her material is not easy, but that is cuz she actually teaches. Everyone complains about her, but that is cuz they are simply dumb and lazy. She is too smart for most of them. hehe
hard, but interesting class
Atrocious! Dr. Glanz is lazy, has a heavy accent, and is unhelpful.
heavy accent is sometimes hard to understand. all you need to do is take good notes, show up for class and study for the tests. she lets you make up tests if you do bad on them at the end of the semester. just work hard, its not so much to ask
i graduated and shes the worst prof. i had in 4 years. I didnt learn a thing in her class because of her accent and i sat in the front row. I also got a D.. i am a smart student and took a whole load of business classes and studeid alot and did very well.
Although she has a heavy accent, she is very clear. She teaches very well, and she even puts notes on the board. IF you really wanna learn something then she is worth taking. Her tests are semi-difficult, but shes teaches well.
terrible. go get another job
heavy accent, not helpful at all. I wonder where she got her Dr. from. learn to speak English.
She's not good at making the material understandable. Her tests are very hard. SHE even admits they're hard. Avoid if possible.
She is the worst professor I have had this far. She cant speak English.Teaches on and on not asking if anyone understands.Goes way to fast.Tests are really hard.Learn to speak ENGLISH.DONT TAKE HER.She should lose her PH.D
Difficult class but good professor...I recommend her...just be prepared to work a little...but that's why it's called School and not play, right?
This is an honest critique.Yes she has an accent but it is very understandable.Her class is only difficult if you don't read the work prior to class then use her to reinforce what you learned. Read the text and you should be fine InterestingStuff/Flexable
MY GOD! She is by far, the worse professor I have ever had. All these lunatics giving her "happy faces" are nutty as fruit cakes. Don't take this woman; I did and my GPA is still hurting from it.
She's tough but she is an Excellent teacher. She is ALWAYS available for help and looks out for her students. She respects ALL her students.
I thought her class and work was real easy. She was really nice and although she has a small accent, I understood the course. I got an A in the class, just pay attention and take notes. I would take her again.
Her teaching skills cease to exist. This woman can't even write notes in chronological order. The only good thing is that she is a very nice woman. She will help you out and give you a chance to retake tests. I guess cuz she knows she cant teach!
I wish I could have stabbed myself in the eye when she was teaching. Dr. Ruth meets financial managment. She was so hard she made me not want to do business anymore.
Oh My God is all i have to say and make sure you pray to him when you have her cuz there is no salvation when it comes to her class!
I feel bad for her.. cuz she can't teach and everyone knows it. She's a nice woman but its impossible to understand her or even recieve anything higher than a C in her class.. She's VERY VERY DIFFICULT.. STAY AWAY!! PLEASE!
Everyone who says she is horrible obviusly thinks they are still in high school. This is a UNIVERSITY and she teaches a UNIVERSITY LEVEL CLASS. Her exams are reasonable and her style of teaching is not one to lead you by the hand. She is GREAT!
shes an ok teacher best advice is do the HW and do good on tests and u will do good in the class. dont take her unless its your last choice
The worst. Shes hard, mean, weird, and you cannot understand when she speaks. SJU needs to hire more professors who can speak english. Time to go.
SHE IS VERY NICE!!!I have no idea what others are talking about. My grades were failing and I still got an B+. U just need to read the text, listen and take notes in the class, and do her homeworks(some of them appear on the exams)
May be difficult in class, but hw assignments and tests are clear (she tells you what's gonna be on it), she gladly sets up an appt to help you study and prepare, very nice lady.
very good teacher. she gives HW but its not difficult and as long as you read the text and take notes you'll be fine. She also offers help and her tests are clear and straight foward.
She's wonderful. People don't know what they are talking about. I took her twice and earned an A and a B+. She's very helpful and very kind!
definition of a tool. shes been teaching at st johns for 30 years, yet she doesnt know english? her tests are too hard, her notes suck, shes pretty nice but her class is painfully boring. sometimes she gets a sassy attitude and does some thug life actions SO funny. shes hungarian, wheres that?
shes a good teacher. Her tests aren't that easy, but she will help you if you need it. THe only bad thing is that she has an accent so you have to listen to what shes saying. If you want to do well in class you have to be there every class, then you should get an easy B or A.
Who ever said she was hard is stupid! I take her now and i breeze through the class, so she has an accent thats more of a reason for you to listen, do homework, practice with the examples she gives and show up... test are multiple choice theres five versions of the test so don't try to cheat!!
The woman is insulting and completely unhelpful! I paid attention and tried as much as I could, but not even hw saved me... She loves to "make things complicated next class" as she puts it herself. If you're looking to struggle and stress for finals... she's your woman
IN HER CLASS I WAS SO CLUELESS N HAVE NO IDEA WAT SHE IS SAYING HER ACCENT IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND BUT SHE IS HELPFULL BUT NOT CLEAR WITH INFO GIVEN
very very nice lady ... in my opinion a very good and well prepared teacher ... i love the way she comes up with those stories for problems... just pay attention ull be good
Do not take her for online class! Not only is the workload ridiculous, but it is not easy work at all, she gives no notes of her own, and if you get something wrong,(which is more likely than not) she has a horrible way of explaining things. I'm a good student and she is killing my gpa!!
I will not lie to you and say that she is easy. However, she wants you to do well and if you show some initiative you will. If you're too lazy to do any work then you won't just as in any class. I got an A. Go to class and pay attention. Aware that she has a heavy accent so she's always willing to explain to you for understaning.
SHE IS A VERY HEAVY ACCENTED PROFESSOR. NOT ONLY IS HER CLASS DULL BUT ITS ONE OF THE WORST CLASSES I HAVE EVER TAKEN...THANK THE LORD I PASSED AND NEVER HAD TO TAKE HER AGAIN
I'm failing thats all you need to know
She is so nice. Her class is a bit dull and can give better notes but her exams are easy. The text is a plus. Talk to her & she will do her best to help you.
HMM..IF I CAN SUM HER UP IN 2 WORDS IT WOULD BE..DULL, AND CONFUSING!! SHE TALKS TOOOOO FAST..AND IT IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND HER...DONT TAKE HER...I KNOW KIDS IN GRAD SCHOOL WHO HAVE DROPPED HER BECAUSE SHE IS NOT A ARTICULATE PROFESSOR!!!!...DID I MENTION DONT EVER TAKE HER!!!!
doesnt care about attendance, homework is extra credit-kinda boring clas..u can just read the t-book to get by and sit on ur laptop in class
she told us we could just use spark notes for our text book--that we didnt needed the text suggested! heavy accent, sweet woman but shes a terrible teacher!! she told me i was doing fine cause i participate a lot...tell that to my failing grade. i actually had to get tutoring for this one
DO NOT TAKE HER! Shes very arrogant and feels like everyone should understand economics just as well as she does. The tests are all multiple choice, but still are very hard. She even said herself that this was the "hardest class you will take at STJ!"
She has to be one of the worst professors I have ever encounted in my life! Her notes are vague, talks too fast, has an accent, gives tricky questions on tests, spends more time confusing us than teaching, and wants students to fail. I thank the BIG man upstairs for helping me pass. ------Don't take her!!- a word to the wise------
Oh my goodness. I had to drop this class after seeing my mid-term grade. I don't think I could've raised the D+ to anything good. Her accent makes it kind of hard to understand and she teaches rather fast, so it doesnt make it any better. But that means you have to keep up and listen closely, and I didnt want to do either so I had to drop it lol.
You just KILLED my GPA!!!!! I HATE YOU!!!!!!!!!
she is the sweetest person ever. she wants to see you involved and interested. patient and comprehensive. do what you have to do/ you will get the A
The class requires that you pay attention! you really shouldn't take your laptop to this class because copying down a few notes won't help you understand a thing. She's so nice and will stop in the middle of class to explain something again even if one person doesn't understand. I ended up with a B+, but it did require a good amount of studying
Made me think twice about having any kind of major in business. Grade is only based off of three tests and a final which ARE NOT EASY. Never uses the book but yet i found reading it more useful then her notes. Goes through things way to fast and if u fall behind good luck trying to catch up. Avoid this class at all cost.
she barely used the book. in her class lots and lots of notes. there are 15 quizzes online for her and there were 3 tests including the final and the midterm(this one was online)she occasionally gave out hw but its optional and if you do it, it is extra cedit toward your final grade. i enjoyed it and was not a hard class, but not an easy one either
Pretty good teacher, helpful and does a good job preparing for tests just with her notes, reading is very important and the quizes are all online which of course helps.
This is by far the worst professor at St. John's. It would be nice if her English were understandable...But its not. If you want to pass do not take her. She teaches way too fast.
GREAT Teacher, Read the book and you'll do fine.
straight forwards
MAD EASY !!!
This Professor is THE WORST at St. John's. I have no clue what she is saying because its hard to understand her accent and secondly she does not teach she just talks. Take anyone else.
She is a terrible professor. Her examples are unclear and she doesnt go over material that is on the test. She teachs one thing in her lectures then puts different material on the test. Complete was of time. Stay away from her classes!!!
No point in paying attention in class, you won't understand it anyways. Just show up to class for attendance. Quizzes and tests are based on textbook, read it carefully and take notes. A quiz on each chapter online. Maybe one or two in class, and midterm & Final. A couple of homeworks extra credit.
very hard. miss the test because you can make them up. So you could study longer.
It is amazing people like this are still teaching. You cannot understand a word she says, she will go on and on - teaching way too fast while the class is lost, and half the class drops out or gets horrible grades.
Affable, caring and committed.
She is the worst teacher at St Johns. you should NEVER take her, if you end up getting her, drop out RIGHT AWAY you will not do well no matter what you do. there is no way to get a good grade in this class. talks with a thick accent and way to fast, doesnt follow the book at all.
She does not belong teaching. She doesnt speak english and does not know how to explain things! Do not take her class even if it fits perfectly into your schedule...you will regret it. I hope she gets fired because she is a waste of our tuition money
Easy as pie, he accent is not that bad just think of a less annoying arnold swarzeneger. Read the book and you will do great, its an easy class these people doin bad must be stupid
Her accent isn't that bad; she is just not a good teacher. She doesn't explain things well at all and you will need the textbook in order to understand what she says. I went to every class, did all of the homework, took the online quizzes, & studied hard for the tests & I still did poorly in the class. If you care about your grade, don't take her!!
HARD AND BORING. DO EVERY HOME WORK IN TIME.
The ratings say enough. VERY VERY TOUGH. The textbook is useful, hw is extra credit although it is hard as hell, tests are equal to K.O. level. Basically this class is not worth it. I should have done more research first before picking this teacher, but I didn't. If your parents are paying your tuition, don't waste their money and take this teacher
She is a HORRIBLE teacher. She honestly can't teach. Many times when you ask her a question she can't answer it and she doesn't give any extra help. I can't stress enough to READ THE BOOK! You have to teach yourself in her class and do the extra credit! Also, do the online quizzes before each test to help. NOT WORTH MY TIME!
honestly everyone who gives her a bad rating is clearly not coming to class and not paying attention. She gives at home quizes which are 10% and if you actuallyyyy study before it with the textbook you will do good. The tests if you studyyy and ask her questions youll also do good. Her tests have built in extra points! Her homeowrk is optional extr
Great tch! she loves eco and nos her stuff. If you study 4 the at home quizes w ur txtbk 2 ull b fine! hw is extra credit! she gives extra points on tests and really wants everyone to do good but u actually have to study and do work! will help you if u ask for it! i got an A bc i studied, took notes, paid attention and asked her for help!
Idk it's a hard subject but I got an 80's on the tests, just read the book if you don't understand something in class. The test's are multiple choice so they aren't hard in that sense, but the answers are tricky so you kind need to have a good understanding of the material. Just read the book lol
TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TEACHER. The lady really does not know how to teach. Taking notes in class is really useless, considering the tests are based solely on the textbook-so if you don't read, you don't pass. Her tests are tricky and are incredibly hard for no reason at all. She is a nasty lady to talk to after class as well. DON'T TAKE HER!
Hard class, but was very helpful when needed. She really acknowledges her students effort with homework and quizzes. Took her online class.
Don't take this class. She is a nice lady but her tests are incredibly hard and she doesnt really help as much as she should.
I took ECON senior year so expected to do well. Class is very boring and she made it very hard. When I asked her what I could do to improve my D at midterms she said I dont know what to tell you. DONT TAKE HER YOU WILL STRUGGLE
I seriously don't know why she has gotten such bad reviews. All you gotta do is go to class, take her notes, read the textbook, take the quizzes and do the homework. Easy A. Tests are not hard. She is very nice.
GREAT PROFESSOR, SHE HAS AN ACCENT BUT YOU CAN STILL UNDERSTAND HER. READ BOOK AND YOU WILL BE FINE! ALSO DO HER CHAPTER QUIZES , THEY APPEAR ON THE TEST SHE GIVES AND SHE GIVES YOU LOTS OF POINTS IF SHE SEES THAT YOU ARE TRYING!
WORST TEACHER AT ST.JOHNS BEWARE BEWARE SHE IS NOT AFRAID TO SLAP YOU WITH A F !!! she told me I would pass and gave me an F AS MY FINAL GRADE.
Doesn't speak clear English. Will move on while the entire class clearly isn't understanding. All HW, Quizzes, and some Tests all given online so you must check your email. Is a nice lady, but does not know how to TEACH. Would learn more for the test from Google than from her notes/assignments.
The way she teaches and the way the textbook teaches are different but you need both for her exams, 2 tests were online and the last 2 were taken in class gives E.C but its hw and quizzes online that at times were a little confusing, attendance to class helps
Has a very thick accent, tests and quizzes are straight out of the textbook. 3 of the 4 exams were in the 70-80 range, so I was expecting a C, but I aced the final and she gave me an A. Students that take her must be show some sort of interest in economics. and in class.
If your not an economics major, the material is tough and confusing stuff. However if you do your assignments , show up every class, ask alot of questions , and show interest, your grade will reflect that.
I don't know why she got any bad reviews. I took her for an online class and although it was extremely challenging she was always available to help whenever I asked, whether through Skype or office hours. It is a lot of reading and challenging to grasp especially online, but if you want to learn she will help you. Very sweet lady, would take again.
I did bad on the first exam and ended up with a C for my midterm grade. I went to her for help, did the HW (which is extra credit), asked questions and participated, never missed class and ended up doing very well on the final. I ended up getting an A. It wasn't easy because you need to read the textbook but her online quizzes help.
She's a very good professor. She's passionate about the subject and cares about helping her students learn and understand the material. Yes, there's a lot of stuff to cover, so read the textbook for details, but she's very good at explaining the key difficult concepts and making them understandable. Marks based on 4 tests, and small online quizzes.
As long as you read and show up to class you should be fine. All homework in her class is extra credit which is pretty cool.
Material is very boring and can be difficult, she moves on even though no one in class understands.I did bad on 1st exam so i had a C for most of the semester. As long as you do well on the quizzes &do the extra credit hws you should be fine. 2 online tests and the other 2 in class. she recommends tutoring rather than her help
Professor is great! She's clear, realistic, rational and at the same time understanding, devoted to helping students really grasp the lessons, interested in learning about the students themselves. She promptly responds to emails and has a good sense of humor, which lights up the course. So far the best online class I've taken! (I've had 4 till now)
She's a great professor. She's always there if you ask her for help. It's important to read the textbook because the materials are difficult. The textbook helps you to understand the materials. If you read all the chapters in the book, you will definitely get at a good grade in the class.
This is a tough course where you would want a good professor to help you out, and she honestly isnt that person. Her lectures are very boring and she just throws info at you. No power points or good notes that she gives you. You need to read the textbooks to do well. I would not recommend her unless its a last resort.
Tough class. You will get used to her accent after the first hour, its not heavy at all. Tests are hard you have to study, it's not a class you can study one day for either, but if you can get an A on the final you can get an A in the class.
I might be an anomaly in most of these ratings but I absolutely loved this class. I didn't do too hot on her first test and she skyped with me just to go over questions and so I could understand what I missed. From there, the class became way easier just because I knew exactly what she wanted. Over all, she's pretty great just put in work.
She is a really good teacher, explains everything perfect. If you pay attention and don't skip class its an easy A. I would totally take another class with her!
Homework is extra credit. She doesn't take attendance but if you miss you will struggle because questions on the test are problems we've done in class. You can check your grade at all times on blackboard so you know what you have in the class at all times. Textbook is helpful for vocabulary but isn't really necessary.
I really like Professor Glanz. She is very helpful if you ask questions in class. All homework is extra credit, so I suggest you do it and it's not hard. I would definitely take her again. She makes sure that you understand the content. She takes attendance every class.
This class is not an easy A. You have to work for it. Quizzes are fairly easy. Homework is extra credit. Tests are hard, so you have to study for it.
Workd hard to help. One test online
She was ready to tutor through Skype several times in the semester. Made course interesting
Four exams. Two were in class and two were online, one of them being the final. She also gives a timed online quiz at the end of each chapter. All her homework's are extra credit. Her notes are good, and she also gives power points. Well organized. Economics is not an easy class, but if you put the work in you can get an A. I would taker her again
4 test, all quizzes are online, homework is extra credit. The test is hard but she helps a lot. If she can see that you are working hard, she will change your final test grade to all over course grade.
Econ is not something that comes easy to me and instead of helping me she just brushed me off. Gave no partial credit and no explanation to as why some answers were wrong. If you have an interest in econ, then this course may be for you but I would recommend taking another teacher who actually cares about their students.
Professor Glanz believed in my abilities when I didn't believe in them myself. She was always providing me feedback based on class performance, always willing to meet after class and clarify any of my confusions, and always passing on helpful books for me. By no means an easy class, but she went beyond the line of duty for me.
Wasn't a difficult class but definitely a waste of time. The class was online so there were weekly hw that consisted of multiple parts and a quiz, most of your time is just spent googling the hw. I don't feel like I leaned anything in this class and the topics were all over the place. Although there isn't a final I still wouldn't recommend
Glanz is such a nice person, but I can't seem to learn off of her. She lectures for the whole class, but always lets us leave 30 minutes early. The HW & quizzes are easy, but only worth 1 point so they don't affect your grade. I've struggled on the tests, even after studying for hours. I use the textbook to study, but you don't need it for HW.
If you want to spend hours on google and youtube figuring out how to solve her endless amounts of HWs then this it the class for you. Was shocked to see the amount of hw per week (5-6) assignments consisting of quizzes, discussion boards, and various chapter questions and excel problems.
This lady gives so many assignments a week, but the real problem is her grading. No matter how hard you try, make one mistake and you get a 0. When you got a graph or table especially, good luck, one number wrong and it's a 0, one dot wrong on the graph and it's a 0. Even in the discussion posts she grades heavily, usually says "not enough words."
