Professor Tigner is one of the BEST professors I have had here at Nassau. Her lectures are always interesting and it is not one of those classes you will fall asleep in. As long as you study the worksheets she hands out and go over the textbook, you will definitely pass her tests. ALWAYS do the critique and in class project because it really helps.

Dr. Tigner is a very nice professor. she mostly goes into detail on everything but if she doesn't she'll tell you to read up on it on your own to ensure you know the material for the test. also very funny lady. don't skip class too much and punctuality is key.

The lectures were easy going and interactive. Her syllabus was clear. No surprises. She prepares you for tests. You will work and earn that A, but walk away with so much more than just credits.

Her lifespan class is the easiest A, you just need to do the take home quizzes and not miss class. She likes when you're very detailed in your responses. Her lectures are NEVER boring!
