Reviews of professor Tiffany Vastardis

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Not that learning about the neuroscience of drugs is a bad thing as it relates to substance use counseling but there is a fine line between teaching the class and boasting intelligence. Her class consisted of reading off the PowerPoint's, not engaging the class, and random tangents. I work in the substance use field and did not enjoy this class.

She is GREAT. I dont agree with the previous post on here. its not accurate, I am in the same class & dont feel tht review is fair. students who choose to do things last minute conclude that professors are making courses hard. Quiz based of pwrpoint & txtbook definitely helped. READ THE SYLLABUS it is yur bestfriend. She also gives great updates.

I have been at FAU since undergrad, and I can honestly say that Dr. V. is the best professor I've had. It's obvious that she loves teaching and always adds a special touch to each course to make it more fun. She knows her stuff and was always there for us. One of the reasons that I left the program is because she is no longer teaching.

Teacher is so nice, but gives most difficult quiz ever. Class is not clear. You don't know exactly where to find the material. She said we have to buy the book and it was not needed. Discussions are good, but is hard to find the material and material is not that clear to do HW. Do not recommend it if it is just for an extra credit. Took her at FAU.

I'm currently taking this class at FAU as well and completely disagree with the previous negative comment. She has been super nice and gave us an extension on the assignments due to the hurricane, which none of my other professors did. Anyone not doing well in this class has only themselves to blame.

Teacher is nice. She said we have to buy the book and it was NOT needed. Discussions are good but you can't a single thing. I missed three discussions and second quiz was hard (nowhere to find answers even in the book) and it destroyed my grade. Besides that I got A in alls but low quiz grade brought my grade to a B-. Took her at FAU.

Great teacher, she just cancelled class often but I guess thats because she lived over an hour away. Regardless of personal issues she never gave up on our class and did teach us a few cool things. She taught like a high school teacher though. I would definitely recommend her.
