Jennifer is one of my top 3 professors here at USF. She tends to all her students as if they were her own children. SHe answers questions completely and thoroughly and always tailors her teaching strategies to her lessons. She doesn't give points away, and she's tough on grading, but that's because she makes sure she's given you all the tools necessary to pass her exams with flying colors.

Neat and VERY helpful Class Notes
Cons: Exams are HARD HARD HARD
Cainas is a great professor. I took her for both financial and managerial and both times I felt she went above par in the material by teaching more topics and testing more rigorously. While this makes the class a bit more difficult, you come out of it feeling like you truly learned something about accounting.

Pros: She prepares you for the exams, meaning she presents them to you.
Cons: you will have to put fort maximum effort to do well in this class. she expects a lotl
Much easier than financial (if you don't remember what you learned in financial then i think you should do some review), but it still require effort. if you had her for financial....its the same dam thing. lol

Pros: She is very knowledgeable and experienced in her field. Her lectures are very clear. Always willing to help and very good at explaining things differently so you understand. **This is the only class I've ever taken where the text book literally has ALL the information you need for the class.**
Cons: Extremely dense subject matter. Exams are very difficult. Hardest class I've taken in 115 credit hours. Only class I've ever taken twice. Nearly killed me to get a B. My GPA is 3.62 btw. GOOD LUCK!
Lots of resources at your disposal. Textbook is wonderful. Online resources are great practice. DO the homework! It adds up. Cainas is the best. Take her if you can.
She also has won awards for some of her cookie recipes. I took it in the smaller BBN section. She made cookies for the whole class twice.
