Reviews of professor Helen Tien

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I wouldn't take a class from her again. Never replies to emails, often late with posting lectures and resources but will hold the students to a standard she doesn't hold for herself.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Shes really busy, so she would take a while to respond. Shes vague on her assignments, so dont wait to the last minute because youll need to email her. Her lessons dont really blend into the assignments, so just Google everything. She grades the hardest out of COBE

 Prof. Tien was unclear about Case Analysis and responded to emails very late. During lectures, she would always shift the topics from the chapter and then something irrelevant. The grading system was something that also didn't make sense to me I felt like it was just depending on how she felt.

You have to talk in this class but you get great feedback on improving your sales techniques. Helen brings in guest speakers who thrive sales so you can make great connections. No matter how difficult the class is, ask her for help! She will help in a timely manner.

Helen is amazing! Her lectures are interesting and she incorporates real life business situations into her lectures. Only 3 case studies for homework which isn't too hard since she goes over a similar one a class before it's due.

Prof. Tien's lectures are fun and shes got a lot of energy but she jumps around and gets to talking about things that aren't really helpful to remember the chapter. The papers didn't really connect with the lectures much and its hard to know what shes' asking. You can revise tho - so thats helpful. I think she likes when people email for help

Tien is extremely vague on what she expects from students and grades you poorly based on some arbitrary criteria she makes up in her head. She makes her guidelines unclear to give her leeway to change the requirements based on how she feels on that day. I would never take another class from her again, avoid her at all costs.

She'll give you a D on a project and only write a single sentence of feedback. All of her grading is based on what type of mood she is that day, rather than an actual rubric or guideline. A lot of questions of the final exam were not ever discussed class. She needs to set clearer expectations and not be so easily influenced by her emotions.

Take any class from her if you have the chance! She's young and uses current information to teach. Little homework, interesting lectures, and easy to work with.

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Shes young and full of relevant experience. Realistic expectations as far as participation and attendance. Will definitely take again.
