Comment:

She does not email back quickly so you need to go to other resources. She grades essays very hard, but in class does not discuss much except the readings. Overall, I would never take a course with her again.

Comment:

I did not enjoy her really bizarre book choices at all. A ton of work to do for her class and way too much reading to do outside of class. Also, if you're shy, be weary because she really wants a lot of class participation

Comment:

Tenger is my favorite. She is very accessible outside of class and genuinely wants you to succeed not just in her class, but in life. She is a pretty easy grader if you do what she wants (she gives tons of handouts with exactly what she wants you to improve on). She's actually a really nice person, though she may seem intimidating at first.

A lot of reading involved in this class. Essays are kind of long toward the end of the semester, but she is willing to help! Would take again.

Comment:

I had Dr. Tenger for English 102, which focused on mental illness with three short texts and four papers, none over 2000 words. I found her class to be rather easy, but she liked my writing style. She is known for grading harshly, but as long as you write basic, organized essays that explain the topic well, she will be generous with grading.

Comment:

She is a nice lady but her class requires a lot of work which is graded harshly. I received a zero on an in class assignment that I had an excused absence for (email from health center was sent to her) but she wouldnt let me make it up and it hurt my grade by a letter grade.

Comment:

Horrible experience. I have never had a teacher who hated my work as much as Dr. Tenger did. I tried my hardest to understand what she wanted in her papers, but never could. Prime example: I went and talked to her, did EVERYTHING like she told me to, and still got a C. Wasn't worth my time.

Comment:

She's so nice! Such a fascinating class. Easy tests if you study and put forth an effort. I'm an English major, I don't like lit a whole lot, but she made it all very interesting. She's finds the strangest things funny, it's great. Take her for any class!

Comment:

I enjoyed Dr. Tenger's personality. I hate talking in class so I didn't like that aspect of her classes but that is my own problem! Lit Crit was my favorite class with her - I think I really enjoyed the structure.

Comment:

She is very nice as a person, and grades papers fairly, but I didn't particularly like her choice of books for us to read. Also just as a note, most of her classes seem discussion-centered, and if she suspects that the class isn't reading, she'll start giving pop quizzes.

Comment:

While Dr. Tenger has a great personality, her class lacks structure and clarity. Discussion topics are not relevant to papers or tests. While she is lenient, she is also very unorganized.

Comment:

I love Dr. Tenger. She is so funny in class. I don't enjoy literary criticism, but she makes it as interesting as possible. She's also a very lenient grader, and this is one of the easier English courses in the major.

Dr. Tenger does a good job guiding class discussion and she finds strange things funny, which makes class interesting. Who knew there was so much in The Secret Sharer.
