Reviews of professor Jenn Tiernan

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She really cares about her students and how the students are doing in class, which is great. But sometimes she talks too fast so it would be quite hard to understand and take notes. Her exams/quizzes are based from the lectures she gives, and its usually not stated on the slides, so make sure to take notes!

Passionate teacher but the class is soooo bland. Very difficult to sit through. Tests are challenging. Not that hard of a class just very boring.

She's really nice and passionate about her work, but the lectures are long and difficult to sit through. Skip more than 2 classes and you lose 5%, with few exceptions. Tests are easy if they're online and open note-- otherwise good luck. Lots of questions on topics she only verbally says, so checking slides aren't always helpful.

I love that she had multiple ways to take the exams to try to fit all students preferred testing methods, but for the short answer she expects long responses which defeats the purpose of a short answer. Does review sessions (kahoot) which doesn't really help you prepare for the exam. Very poor at responding if you email her (never got a response)

Jenn is a really nice person and professor. She cares about all her students and makes lectures fun by showing videos, movies, and sharing her personal interests in a way that relates to the material. She did a pet of the day every class and it made the class very relaxing.

I took Mass260 for one of my goal areas. The class consists of random attendance points, discussion posts, quizzes, and one paper. If you read over her notes the quizzes are an easy A and her lectures are pretty interesting, show up to earn some extra attendance points. There are extra credit opportunities too!
