Really sweet professor, don't need to attend class to get a good grade. Study for the tests and you'll be fine.

She is amazing! Really easy and wants you to do well. Her final is just a retake of your worst test grade out of the four you take in the class. Her stories are great and they actually go with her slides.

Comment:

For a 4000 level class, it was very very easy. 3 exams, a paper, and a presentation. She lets you retake the exam with the lowest grade for the final. Easy to make good grades. Kinda rude and snappy though.

Comment:

3 tests, 1 presentation on a court case. There is no final but you can re-take a test on the final day if you weren't happy with your previous grade. Pay attention in class, read the chapters she assigns & answer the questions at the ends of those chapters & you'll do fine on the tests.

Comment:

I cannot stand Jan. Her tests intentionally try to trick you. She wants to hear you regurgitate her own opinons and thoughts and if you deviate from that, she'll argue you down. She constantly interrupts people when asking questions or stating opinions. You will have to do a presentation which she grades HARSHLY. She does offer tons of extra credit

Comment:

She's a nice lady but I never know when things are due b/c the syllabus is designed by week instead of days and there are a lot of little assignments to keep up with. The test was mostly true/false which I've never liked. She didn't help us find internships at all, just threw us out on our own.

Excellent professor. One of the best in the department. Fun and easy to get along with, constantly making jokes, but very good at teaching and making things very clear. Plenty of extra credit opportunities as well!
