Comment:

Dr. Tiner is very nice and makes time to help her students outside of class. However, the final paper for this class was ridiculous. We got the rough draft back several days before the final was due and it was worth 20% of our grade. She also could have given more direction with the composition at the end of the year.

Comment:

Dr. Tiner is a wonderful person inside and out, but her teaching style is very strange. If you don't like lecture, I would not take this class. She doesn't necessarily lecture all the time, but when she gets going on a topic, good luck stopping her! Very tough grader, averaging about 1 paper per week!

She is one of my all time favorite teachers. She is different as others said but she encourages each and every student to work hard and to be themselves.

Comment:

Crazy but great! She's very intelligent and enthusiastic about all the subjects she teaches. Talks to you outside of class, and if you need to meet with her in her office she'll be there. Very helpful and approachable. Loved every single one of her classes; so engaging. They require effort but are otherwise easy if you learn her teaching method.

None of Dr.Tiner's classes are easy, but her devotion to her students is unparalleled. Should you actually want to lear to think and write better, she's the professor for you. Always available to her student; quick turn-around on grading; helpful and constructive comments on papers; fascinating lectures and discussions.

Comment:

Probably the most well read and knowledgable prof. in English. Very friendly. Very interested in helping with your writing. Also very flighty and, honestly, sometimes over my head. Hard to take in class.

You all need to pass me whatever it is you're smoking, because obviously you're on the wrong page here. Her classes are terrible, pointless, and utterly boring. When sitting in class you feel like knocking yourself unconscious on your desk.
