Comment:

I had Jane for statistics and it was taken online. Personally I found out that the zoom meetings weren't doing a thing for me so I stopped attending. Felt that learning the material through the textbook myself was more effective than attending a lecture. From what I've heard if you need help she will offer it to you, and she seems overall nice

Her lectures were so confusing i skipped half of them throughout the semester. Other than that, the work in the class was pretty easy, as she divides your grade into a bunch of assignments, so messing up on stuff won't screw you.

I took her for micro and macro, and as I was reading the reviews it seemed like the people who responded aren't going to college FOR economics, I am and I loved her classes. The content is fascinating in my opinion, and she was super helpful. If you enjoy economics and/or are pursuing a career in it, I definitely recommend her.

I had Professor Jane for Principles of MicroEconomics and she was a good teacher, but she gave long homework assignments and the lectures where long too. Over all she is nice and if you need her help she is there to help no matter what.

Have to go to the lectures or it will be very confusing. The class was hard but if you ask questions and pay attention it makes much more sense. There are pop quizzes that are pretty easy, but you can't make them up. Jane is a friendly teacher who was easy to talk to and able to work around my personal scheduling conflicts.

She is a great professor. Most people who grade her poorly do not grasp the concepts she teaches. I had her for economics and she made the subject extremely interesting and made me want to pursue a minor in econ! Do the homework, read, and ask for help and you will be extremely successful in her courses!

Before taking econ with Jane I had heard that she was alright. I wish this was true. Every day I was in class I wished I could be somewhere else. Jane draws the same graph on the board every day and doesn't really explain the contents at all. She made every day miserable. She assigned 50 question online homework worth only 5 points. Don't take her.

Jane was so amazing to take as a professor. Shes always super flexible with deadlines and always asked if our class needed extensions. Her lectures are based off of power points which she posts ahead of time. I took her as a PSEO student, and I dont regret it. She deserves a waaaay better rate on here. Dont be intimidated to take her.

at first i was worried about this class but its not that bad. Econ is always a difficult subject to learn. But if you read the material and study for about 5/6 hours a week you should have no problem getting at least a B. the test qoestions are straight from the book or lecture. the only people i know who couldnt pass this class didnt try

Comment:

Economics is a very boring subject, but she tries to make it less boring which is appreciated. Start studying a week in advance for the tests because they are difficult and be prepared to see questions that try to trick you. Also the homework can be challenging. More than anything else, READ THE TEXTBOOK IF YOU WANT TO DO WELL IN THIS CLASS.

Jane was an okay professor. Nothing special or memorable about her besides the fact that she is a good storyteller. However, class work is difficult and time-consuming. Make sure to read the textbook and come to class if you want to pass.

Love her as a professor, however this class was very hard to be interested in. Online HW was confusing and annoying (just because of the way its set up) & exams are HARD!! For most of them, the highest score a student got was around 75-80%. One nice thing is that sometimes there is room for easy points, but not always.

Jane is very helpful and thoroughly answers every question in class. She also tries to learn students names which is thoughtful. You need the book to do pre-lecture assignments (which are due days before the actual lecture). The tests are kinda hard but if you practice you're fine. The classes uses Aplia which is annoying but manageable.

In my honest opinion Jane doesn't care much for her students success. I reached out to her for help over email numerous amount of times and I never heard anything back and when I would meet with her in person she gave me the cold shoulder like I was insulting her by not understanding the content. She teaches at a fast pace and the tests are HARD!!!

In my opinion no matter who teaches economics, it is going to be boring. This class it is extremely difficult to stay in gauge with these long lectures. Every example is the environment and it is just not taught well. Nice lady who means well, but man is this class at Anoka Ramsey a struggle.

She gave really good lectures. She drew pictures on the board and tried hard to answer questions people had. She's very relaxed and helps you with anything. I wish I wanted to be an economist so I could keep taking her class!

She lectures everyday and is boring teaching style. does not make class fun at all and forgets to tell you when you have homework. She does go over homework before it is due sometimes so that is good. The tests are super hard and you will not be prepared for them even if you study. would not take again.
