Comment:

Professor Chapman is very good professor. I took her for Acting in Film and she opened my eyes and definitely pushed me to the best of my ability. You can tell she genuinely cares about what she teaches to her students and will even go out of her way to help you if you don't understand a particular topic or are confused.

Comment:

She taught the online portion. Very nice and is helpful, but because its online there is only so much. You have to police yourself if you're taking this section. It's a pretty easy class, an incredibly useless, but you sorta have to take it. Regardless of who you take its a boring class. Online courses involves a term paper and weekly discussions.

Tina is a really nice lady but has a very outdated knowledge of networking. Shes the best we have for 351 (better than Hill, Mason or Leone), so sit back and enjoy

Comment:

I'd avoid if possible, she doesn't seem very knowledgeable about the subject. Often she wouldn't control the discussions well and conversations would go too long. Overall CSD is a pretty useless class but easy.

Comment:

Very helpful teacher. As has been said, takes a humanistic approach to lecturing. If a student doesn't understand something will sit down with them until they understand. Can lose the class's attention when there are boisterous students. 3 hour lectures can be a pain but she makes up for it by buying pizza. Several small assignments and labs to do.

Comment:

This professor takes a very "human" approach to technology. However, the CSD class is extremely drawn out and boring. I feel that she didn't manage class discussion well enough and we usually found ourselves completely off-topic after 30 minutes of listening to two people in the class debate among themselves. Grades fairly.

Very helpful teacher. She explains all the materials in depth. She make jokes and get the class involved with questions making sure everyone is paying attention. Very friendly and helpful outside of class. So far her quiz aren't that bad. Would recommend taking her class.

Comment:

Class was kind of long but I think most 350/351 classes are of this format. Overall the class was well structured and the lectures, though long, covered all of the expected info that was laid out in the syllabus. Tina tries to make the content as fun as possible, and definitely tries to help all students do well. Quizzes / Tests aren't easy.....

Tina is a decent lecturer. Her knowledge is kind of outdated and has an ill get back to you attitude. Other than that, she is the sweetest person and buys pizza for the class occasionally.

Incredibly nice lady. Distinctively "human" compared to other professors. However, tests/quizzes/labs are slightly hard graded. Easy 5 pts extra credit. Be prepared to do a mini presentation and term paper for networking!!!

Comment:

This lady is living in the past.. She does not have a clue about anything she teaches. Often goes on side rants about how she worked for IBM. She does not do ANY grading, she relies on graders who do not know anything about the material, so you are incorrectly graded. She also takes forever to answer email. Avoid, and take classes with Hill.

Comment:

Most of the time when she teaches, I feel that she does not really comprehend what she is talking about. She likes to ramble on, while the whole class is not listening. She is pretty much clueless during the labs. She also takes FOREVER to grade things, don't expect to even have a ballpark of your grade until the end of the quarter.

Comment:

She doesn't really know the material that she tries to teach. We had an awkward situation where we had the lab before the lecture, so we'd learn about the lab after we had already done it. She also posts Breeze presentations that she expects you to watch. Lab hardware sucks, so pick a good bench for the midterm and final practicals.

Comment:

Chapman is a decent professor, she is very clear with her material and presents it well. Offers Extra Credit oppertunities, grades fair. Don't be surprised if she starts talking about her former job at IBM though, seems to be a trend among all their ex-employees at RIT

Comment:

Freshmen Seminar wasn't bad. We only had class about half of the time, the rest was quest speakers. Reflection papers were easy, so was any other homework. Semi pointless class. But she was really nice, and always seemed happy.

She was a nice lady. The class was okay but there is a lot of information. The book wasnt necessary for me and I good decent for myself. Keep on top of EXTRA CREDIT bc that does end up helping you out in the long run.

I don't understand the negitive views below.. I thought she was an okay teacher, the best thing that nobody seam'd to mention is EXTRA CREDIT. if you do the extra credit you will get 5 points added onto your overall average! The term paper is a pain, but she grads it easy! oh yah alot of the test questions are taken from the online text quizes.

Comment:

Tina chapan doesn't cover all of the material per chapter in the textbook according to her lecture. The quizzes she hands out in class can be extremly misleading, especially in mutiple choices (A nor B, and C or D, b nor B; and the likes). It's so confusing, do not take her and you won't regret it. She doesn't allow calculators, unlike other prof.

Comment:

I have never had problems with professors here, she is the first one I havent really liked. Lectures unclear, can misguide you in lectures. Does not return your tests for you to study from. My final is next week and it would be so much nicer to study from the tests as the HW's do not cover everything. I hate to give a bad rating out, but oh well.
