Reviews of professor Tahmina Shirmeen

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This class is awful.The positive reviews are fake(notice how they same the same things).She gives 4 extra points if you give her a good review.Assignments and quizzes are not organized and appear at random.Tests have way too much material and are cumulative.Spend your time visiting actual national parks.Never take any of her classes.

GEOLOGY BY TAHMINA, PART4 WORKLOAD/GRADES: Getting an A in this course is ALMOST impossible. There are hardly any assignments or quizzes, and they appear at random. Vague syllabus. The syllabus is just "[national park] - Week X".Be prepared FOR ANYTHING.Grading policies are dumb.Does not provide feedback,she circles things with no context.

GEOLOGY BY TAHMINA PART 8: THE GOOD. There's extra credit (which is necessary to pass this class with an A btw), all lectures/presentations are posted on Canvas, attendance counts as a grade (so if you go everyday that'll be a grade boost).

I literally cannot stand this class. All she does is lectures and reads from powerpoints and the powerpoints do not even help when taking quizzes. i literally just bombed my midterm after taking 6 pages of notes. she in very unclear of what you need to know for an exam and there is NO exam reviews.

NO FEEDBACK ON ASSIGNMENTS! BORING LECTURES! EMBARRASSES STUDENTS. ACTUAL NIGHTMARE OF A CLASS. I ended up disliking this class so much I might burn my textbook. You know that pit in Pixar's Inside Out where Joy and pink guy almost get forgotten in that pit. Everything I experienced in this class is going in that part of my brain. I hate it here.

Holy frick guys. I am a usual straight A student. Professor Shirmeen is actually no joke. I sat in the 3rd row in a huge lecture hall and still barely passed the class. This class is insanely difficult for being a gen ed. Im a marketing major. I dont want/need to know the chemical formula of a quartz. DO NOT TAKE HER unless you're a rock major.

GEOLOGY BY TAHMINA, PART5, CONTENT: If you want to learn about National Parks save your tuition and spend that money to visit the actual national parks. It'll be a better investment. There's WAY too much content and most of what is taught isn't on exams, homework, or quizzes. Playing russian roulette is easier than studying for this classes exams.

Speaking on the tests they do weigh a lot and I do not have the best grade with a C right now but I am also not the best test taker. Everything else in the class has been hard but also helpful in improving my understanding on the subject. The final exam is also a lot but by the time you take it she prepares you enough to where it is not a struggle.
