Comment:

The class (business calc 1) is ridiculously easy. Im on my phone almost every day in class and still have a high A. Professor Tinsley takes the lectures very slow and doesnt give you much of a chance to practice on your own, so its important to do the homework outside of class.

Comment:

Professor Tinsley was a nice lady who taught the material very well. However, mistakes were met with a disproportionate number of points taken off. Ex: forgetting to put per year after the percent sign got you 3-4 points off, even if the problem is worth 8 points. I made an A in bus precalc and barely made an B. Final was worth twice a test.

Comment:

Worst professor I've ever had. She doesn't teach the material that's on the tests and quizzes. Which sucks considering your grade is made up of 4 tests and 10 quizzes. She takes off points for EVERYTHING. It's impossible to make an "A" in this class. I'm good at math and I enjoy it, but she made this class a living hell. Do not take this class.

Absolute terrible teacher. My least favorite professor I have had. Doesnt even cover all of material on tests. Her teaching methods are awful. Literally got a tutor because of her, had to learn everything from the tutor or on my own.

Comment:

Mrs. Tinsley was a wonderful Business Calculus professor! Her teaching was easy to comprehend because she walked us through multiple examples each class period and often let us out early from class, so you don't get bogged down with too much info. Homework is not required but highly recommended and there are 8 quizzes with the 3 lowest dropped.

Comment:

This class consists of 8 quizzes(3 lowest grades are dropped) and 4 exams including a cumulative final. Professor Tinsley did a good job of explaining the lessons and posted note outlines online. Attendance is neccesary in this course as the book doesn't teach most concepts the way she does. The homework isn't graded but quiz questions come from it

Comment:

I have already taken Calculus, but the way that she lectures makes everything harder for no reason. I had to teach students in the class other methods of doing certain problems so that they could understand. She contradicts herself a lot and does not emphasize important concepts. Basically, she makes the class more difficult than what it has to be.

I find this class to be very easy, but I know some people have struggled with it. If you don't skip class, do the homework, and go to the math center it should be a piece of cake. I would definently take a class taught by Tinsley again. She's very clear in her lectures, and she seems to care about her students.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the class. She doesn't require that you do the homework, but if you don't complete it, the tests and quizzes will be a challenge.

Tinsley is awesome! She really shows you how to work out the problems and is a lot of help! She doesn't require you to do homework, but if you want an A you must do the homework.

Tinsley is definitely a favorite for me. I've never had a more straightforward professor, which I loved about her. Additionally, she always stayed after class and answered questions and her teaching was great. Definitely take her.

Great professor! I would take her again if I could. The material isn't always easy, but she gives good notes and is willing to help. She reviews before every tests and gives you practice problems for them. One of my favorite math teachers I have ever had.

Comment:

She is a very nice woman who provides great lectures. Because of her involvement with the math-center she is very helpful outside of class too. The test are relatively hard and she is a very tough grader. A very beautiful woman she is easier to look at then the calculus itself. Her good looks keep me going to class. Would reccommend

She is a great teacher! She explains the concepts really well and clearly and really made calculus easy for me! Her quizzes are very similar to the homework she assigns which are not for a grade, so do your homework and you'll do fine on the quizzes.

Professor Tinsley is wonderful! She is very fair when it comes to quizzes. She let's you know ahead of time when there will be a quiz and the questions are very similar to the homework problems. Overall, Tinsley is there for you when you need help. Strongly recommend taking Business Calc I with her because she is the best instructor for it!

Professor Tinsley is a good professor who takes her time explaining the material. She is very willing to answer questions, and even though the class is large, it doesn't seem that way. She also does a good job of preparing students for what will be on the test. It is definitely important to do the homework to be prepared.

This was an easy class if you are good at Math. Makes sure you understand derivatives for the 3rd test. First two tests are super easy.
