Reviews of professor Jana Sacks

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I took this class in the fall and it was a breeze. Yes, the exams are 7 questions for her 50-minute class so you better know your stuff. She lets you bring a full page of notes so you can easily get an A. Thought she is monotone she knows her stuff and will answer any question you have. Also, make sure you do your Excel Modules. NO BOOK NEEDED.

Professor Sacks is wonderful. Very kind and wants her students to do very well. Her course is structured around learning the material rather than worrying about it. There are few exams and 10 questions, so STUDY or else! She provides a guide. We did have to do 3 excel sheets that took 2-3 hours each, but they're a WPC req not Jana's.

Her lectures were not interesting but she did a good job explaining topics. She is very caring and wants her students to succeed. Consists of 12 HWs, 3 Exams 10Qs each with optional final, and 3 Excel modules. Need to score well on exams that drop you almost a letter grade if you even miss a question. Allows cheat sheet on Exams which helps a lot.

The course is mainly based on tests. Just put in the work and it's an easy A. She's nice.

The HW was just stupid hard. But she is a really nice professor but her lectures put anyone to sleep. She knows the stuff but sometimes I think she has a hard time actually explaining the information. Your grade is basically tests which is annoying as if you miss 2 questions out of 10 it drops you so much

If you have the option to take this course online, do it. Prof Sacks was very informative of what needed to be done and the class is super straight forward. About one hw assignment a week That can be done in little to no time. The exams were super straight forward with no surprises. Put in minimal effort and this is an easy A class.

Idk who is saying this is an easy A because it is honestly one of my hardest courses. Your grade is basically just tests and the tests are only 10 questions so you cannot miss anything

This class is boring, but super easy. She allows cheat sheets and does a review before every exam giving details on what to expect. I would recommend showing up for the examples but most people never show up. Definitely attend the review days if you want to pass. She is a nice lady and is willing to help her students.

If you don't care about learning finance and just want to pass, take her class. DON'T buy the book, it's not required + doing the practice problems won't help you on the test at all. I would've preferred to actually learn something but it's an easy A and she's a nice lady.
