Reviews of professor Tahmina Shirmeen

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I'm breaking my review into parts to help save students from these classes.GEOLOGY BY TAHMINA, PART 1: ATTENDANCE. Attendance is required and worth 5% of the grade.We had our class in an auditorium & passed the sheet all across the class.She got mad when people left early and said that was 'distracting' but passing that was way more distracting.

GEOLOGY BY TAHMINA, PART5, CONTENT: Even if you ignore the amount of content most exams were primarily focused on rocks. This isn't a national park class it's a rock class. We even had rock-of-the-day. Most questions were "Which rock has a 1/16 mm cut?" "If you're in space and have an oculus rift select all volcanoes that contain limestone!"

Amazing professor, she helps you understand information you did not get and is good at emailing back to your questions. She does give extra credit. The lectures she gives hold all the information you need and they are accessible when you need them. I would defiantly take again.

GEOLOGY BY TAHMINA: PART 3: "MAKE ME ANGRY = 0 FOR YOU!!!  >:(" -Tahmina, 2024
We once got a pop quiz because people were on their laptops, after that almost a 1/3 of the class dropped out. She gets REALLY angry about attendance. She likes to call out students, BY NAME, for any sort of reason. Goes on rants about leaving class, attendance, etc.

GEOLOGY BY TAHMINA PART 9, THE GOOD (PART 2): Does offer office hours (never been tho), occasionally accommodates grades if you were absent, learns your face and name.

GEOLOGY BY TAHMINA PART 6: FINALS. The final was 100 questions and the test is worth 100 points (or 1 question per point and less than 1 minute for each question). We got a cheat sheet. The mean for my class was 44, the highest was an 81, low was 0. That says it all really.

GEOLOGY BY TAHMINA PART 10, EVERYTHING ELSE: Boring and long lectures, little to no assignments, 
 unorganized,vague syllabus/Canvas, spiteful pop quizzes, and jump-scare assignments. This class is read-the-book simulator, rock chemistry, CHEMISTRY/geology of national parks. Don't be fooled like I was. Don't take this professor for any class.
