Comment:
Dr. Grekul is one of the kindest profs I have ever met. Her enthusiasm for criminology is prevalent, making you feel engaged with the material. Our course had optional zoom meetings bi-weekly; here, we could discuss amongst each other freely. I have never met a prof as dedicated and as supporting as her. Take her class if you can!

Jana is one of the most caring profs you will ever have, especially with online class she was so open to catering to her students. She is very experienced in the field of the topics she is teachings, which makes discussions so much more interesting! 100% would recommend taking a course with her if you ever have the opportunity.

Comment:
INCREDIBLE Prof. Definitely my favourite in the social department. If you have an opportunity take a class with her. She's so lovely, really flexible with deadlines, and will help out the best of her ability. Classes are mainly discussing readings, so make sure you come, but no tests which is a bonus.

Comment:
I never cared about having a good professor before. As long I can get an A, I'm good. I never got the hype until now. Having a professor that actually cares about their students is a GAME CHANGER, and makes it so much easier to do well. I'm never putting up with cold, uncaring profs again, not when ones like Jana exist. I deserve better! So do you

Probably the best Sociology professors I've had. If you get a chance to take Soc225 with her, do it. Very interesting. She has gone above and beyond to help her students through this new online learning format (even as she figures it out herself). So kind, genuinely passionate about her work. Made this semester a lot better - glad I took her class

Comment:
omg, the most caring most accommodating kindest professor ever. If you have the chance to take soc 225 take it with her, the lectures were super interesting. 12 modules ( included lectures and readings) readings were long but matched up with what the slides had. Exams were fair too. I definitely would recommend her !!

Comment:
Jana was a great prof, very accommodating and caring. Lectures were pre-recorded and so easy to get through, max 20 slides per module which is a week of content. Readings made up for the ease of lecture content though, you'll have to dedicate at least an hour or more of time per reading to ensure you get an A on the exams.

Professor Grekul photocopied the readings so we wouldn't have to purchase the textbook. She was so understanding of our workload and did what she could to help us relieve stress. The class was so interesting, she was very engaging, so kind, and take her class any chance you get. She's beyond kind and it's easy to get a good grade.

Comment:
The sweetest & most accommodating prof by far! Exams are easy if you study well beforehand. Optional zoom meetings once a week, otherwise is asynchronous. Mark breakdown is 10% practice quiz (easy 100), 25% midterm 1, 30% midterm 2 and 35% non cumulative final. There is quite a few readings for this class but no textbook. Amazing prof overall!

Dr Grekul and the TA Jillian, were the only reason I had any motivation to keep going through the semester - Dr. Grekul is so kind, super helpful, very accommodating, answers any and all of your questions, give such great feedback, and in general an amazing prof to have. So glad I took her class, definitely recommend

Dr. Grekul was amazing. She responded to emails quickly and listened respectfully to the opinions of students in the class. Her sense of humour was top-notch, Usually, exams are quite straight forward - copy down what she says in class that are not on the slides, close read the textbook and it's an easy A. One of the best prof of my undergrad.

I have never rated a teacher so this shows a lot! She is the best teacher any student could ask for. Honestly if you complain that the class is difficult you aren't listening or putting in the work it really is an "easy A" class

Her lectures were amazing and really got you intrigued into the content. Only have 2 midterms and a final which are all non-cumulative. She really cares about her students and if you ever need help outside of class, she will make the time for you. The best prof I have had in University, one that is interesting, caring, adds her own flare to lecture

Jana did a great job informing students on what was to be tested for exams. She dropped quite a few hints as to what needed to be studied. She is very educated on her field and gives examples which sometimes tests on. Course weight consisted of 2 midterms and a final, all non-cumulative. Although our semester was cut short, I enjoyed her class.

Comment:
Sooo liberal its insane. Lectures are boring but you will do well if you study. I just did not like Jana as a person. She was full of herself and judgemental of student opinions that were different from her own. You can easily get a good grade but you'll have to cringe through some of her lecture comments. Conservatives beware!!

Dr. Grekul is the nicest human being you will ever meet! She was extremely accessible outside of class and responded quickly even if I had questions late at night. Her lectures are well organized and if you read the textbook, it's a pretty easy class. Her exams are pretty straight-forward as well.
