Reviews of professor Tina Schmidt-McNulty

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Pros: She knows a lot, but, most importantly, she: -does not claim to know things she doesn't know; -is able to teach what she knows Cons: She is a little loud during lectures and isn't the best with tech (3/5). This course is very hard, if you don't come from a KN background, but if you put the effort, even from a dif. background, you can get an A

Course taken Fall 2022. Professor Tina is great! She's clear on what is needed for exams and lab practicums. Lectures and labs were great too. There are a few pop quizzes here and there so attendance is highly recommended. The book isn't a need but definitely helps for clarification on material. Course load is very manageable. Overall great course!

Tina was a very easy going professor. Her lectures and exams are very straight forwarded and direct. Tina does not round grades. The final exam lowered my overall grade to an 89.33% after maintaining an A the entirety of the semester. I emailed her immediately in hopes of any opportunity at rounding my grade. I got no email back and a B overall.

I can not stress this enough-- just because you can do does not mean you can teach. She is confidently the worse teacher I have taken at UIC. She doesn't take a breath during lectures, she is wishy-washy about what's on exams, she is truly a horrible teacher. I don't even write this but after her lectures, I am heated. DO NOT TAKE. DO BETTER UIC.

bro... she will not round for the life of her. i kept a middle A the entire quarter and after the final i ended up with an 89.5 and she did not round me. I got a 0 on a quiz that i took in class that could CHANGE MY WHOLE GRADE and she wouldnt email me back about it and i ended up with a B in the class.

Has the stankest attitude. Why teach if you are going to have a snarky remark to everything a student asks? UIC find some more caring professors because she was hands down rudest professor I have ever encountered. She lacks professionalism in class and over email.

Her lectures are boring and felt like a waste of time but I still recommend going because she sometimes gives out extra credit just for showing up. This class was honestly very easy and you should not have an issue getting an A if you put in the work.

Not sure why reviews are so low. The class was self-explanatory as long as you knew the basics of exercise, planes of motion, and joint actions. Offers many extra credit attendance points as long as you show up. Labs were fine, but make sure to do the assignments (will not open them again). Hardest things were practicums, but still doable.

Honestly the class is pretty easy as long as you attend the labs and review the slides she gives in class. I didn't put a lot of effort in the class.
