Reviews of professor Jessica Tierney

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Tierney is great! She's very knowledgeable and gives interesting and engaging lectures and is SUPER approachable and helpful if you have questions! The homeworks and exams have a lot of essay questions but as long as you make an effort to understand the content they aren't super difficult. Overall I enjoyed her class and teaching style.

Wow! The UofA is lucky to have Dr. Tierney. This is up there with, if not my favorite class. The format was organized so well! Dr. Tierney knows her stuff and teaches stuff worth knowing!

Very long slides which are not very helpful for the homework or exams. Her exams are extremely hard, youll have to look allover the internet for help on the HW because the slides wont help, her study guides for the exam arent very helpful either , long and boring lectures, Will never take her as an instructor ever again

412a is a plus version for 342 (add some biology and chemistry). Both materials in homework and exams come from her lecture slides. Quite hard, but study the slides carefully you will find all the answers you need. And for a personal view, her class is hard but attractive. She is busy, don't miss her office hour if you have a question.

Teaching based on very mediocre rushed videos - Dr,T reading dialog much faster than student could absorb. Her 1st sem. with GEOS342. Limited knowledge, some just wrong  Graded by docking points for too much detail or not using vocab. she was looking for. Of my 23 science courses with A grades Dr.T was by far the worst. Just not a teacher. Avoid!

Her course is fair, One easy writing assignment, 7 Hws, and 3 hard tests that require writing sentences and drawing small graphs without multiple choice. Homework assignments are difficult if you wait at the last minute to do them (guilty) which she gives you a week to do. lectures are 60-80 slides per class, but they have hw answers.
