Jana is a great professor. I took the Teaching Sociology course a year and a half ago and loved it. Challenging, but rewarding. Jana is the most organized professor I've ever had. She really cares about the classes she teaches and her students. I learned a lot from the class. I also learned what kind of professor I want to become.

I'm really glad I got a chance to take her course before she left. I left lecture everyday really thinking about the material. Attendance was mandatory, but class was interesting enough to enjoy being there. She will be missed.

Comment:
SO BORING. takes her 20 min to explain how to use a scantron. but it's an interesting class, if you can make it past the lifeless lectures. do the reading, cause the tests ask very specific q's from the book. essay assign is based on a really interesting book. not a hard class if you put in some effort, just expect lectures to bore you to death.

Nice teacher, but its true the lectures are dry, but the material is interesting. 3 exams and one easy paper. Read the books and you'll be okay. Straight forward not too hard.

Her teaching style is dry and hard to sit through. Read the books to do good on the tests. One easy paper on a serial killer.

Very organized teacher. She has overheads with lots of notes. You must read the books to get an A. Three tests, one essay based on a novel about a serial killer. Great class.

Very interesting class. She has no personality. Very organized lectures. 3 books, must read them. 1 paper. 3 short tests. She is not as hard as people say she is. She curves the tests when the class does bad. If you study you can easily get an A. Glad I took her class, would take her again.

I thought this class would have been really cool but you pretty much learn all you are going to learn in the first 3 weeks. The tests are super hard and there is one paper. Did not really get much out of her class as it was somewhat redundant

Classes were great. Go to class and read all of the material. She is a very cold person though. Must stem from her underprivileged childhood...
