Reviews of professor Shirley Tian

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Your run of the mill professor that just reads off of PowerPoints. She seems to be very knowledgeable of the material, but her nervousness and accent can make it hard to understand. Class has 3 exams, quizzes and labs about every other week, a group project (either write a big paper, or use wireshark), and attendance is graded.

Professor Tian was always available to answer any and every question that I had regarding an assignment. She explained things a bit clearer, too.

I like the announcement send by Dr. Tian every week to remind me about the course content and upcoming due dates. That really helps me to arrange my time. And Dr. Tian replied the email very fast. I really appreciated that she always replied to me on the weekend or holidays.

She is a great professor focused for your learning. She is available and ready to help. Course grading is combination of papers, quiz, test and discussions. Which creates great atmosphere for learning. I took her course at my last semester and I wish I have taken her course earlier. I suggest Prof. Tian, if you are looking for fun and fare course.

I enjoyed the content. This course enhanced my knowledge of databases, data warehouses, etc. I really enjoyed learning about SQL and how to construct enhanced ER diagrams.

Dr Tian gives clear and precise feedback that allows you to make the necessary corrections. Understands the circumstances of online study and tailors materials for effective learning.

I attended her office hours one time, and she was very helpful in helping me understand the issue I was confused about. She responded to emails in a timely manner, and was very nice in her responses.
