Reviews of professor Lena Tahmassian

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She wants you to know the material well but does everything she can to help you succeed, including giving very comprehensive study guides for the tests. The class is pretty formulaic and based off the book, but she got more creative when she was more comfortable with the material. I think she will only improve with more experience!

Loved this professor so much I created an account to rate her. She is so knowledgeable and eager to teach as well as help students if they need it. She is very accessible outside of class if you need help. Class is lecture heavy, but she does switch things up with group discussions. She sometimes goes off on tangents, but they're interesting!

Solid professor, clear expectations, a good bit of reading and work but not very harsh grading. Not the most exciting but SPAN 400 isn't the most exciting material. If you're the kind of person who prefers a bunch of smaller and easier assignments throughout the semester to a couple of big tests/papers I would definitely recommend.

She lectures forever but its all fluff and I dont feel like I learned anything substantial. Lots of abstractions and not much to take away from it. Every day is the same and the class really runs out of steam by the end.
