I took her for an online class this summer and I learned more than I could have ever imagined. She makes online classes fun and interesting. I loved how you could take quizes unlimited times and the tests were semi easy as long as you actually read the book. Definatly wish I could take her again!!!! A++++ teacher
I was a student in her online class. She is a fair teacher, and you have 2 weeks to complete material for one chapter. Definitely manageable. I'd say she's a fair grader as well. I do suggest her!
She is a great teacher. Best class me and my friend have ever had. Pretty much explains things clearly and will always keep explaining if things are not understood. Fair in grading. Makes the class kind of fun!
Awesome teacher. I took her for an online class. She's to the point, and asks general questions so you remmeber the material. You will learn alot. A+++++
If you're going to take a class with this professor, take it online & do yourself a favor!! Her quizzes & exams are all on blackboard anyway. In class she lectures, gives notes & assigns annoying tedious projects & she makes you waste your time on certain things that aren't even graded. also, she sometimes cancels class at the last minute.
She is the best teacher ever.Most understanding teacher ive ever had. she is nice and she teaches the material in a very fun way.She is young so she understands i situations. i really liked her alot. she gives us online quizzes which are more convient for us. She is absolutely awesome def recommend her!
This teacher is VERY SLOW at email response!! I would say don't bother emailing her because she takes her sweet time & responds whenever she feels like it.
This professor is useless. No correspondence with students at all. It's been a week into the semester. Students are coming up with their own questions and answering each other's. We are doing the teacher's work for her. Her grammar and spelling are horrible, and it makes her look unprofessional.
I took her online course and it was pretty straightforward and easy material. As long as you do your work, you should have no problem. My only complaint was that she didn't indicate to complete the discussion questions within the first week of the module. Other than that it was a great course.
I have taken her 2 times now, online & in the classroom. Her class is fun & fair. she puts her quizes & exams on blackboard so we have more class time to talk. Each chapter you have the same assigments due like a quiz, exam, questions, & an activity so you know what to expect. I like that & that she sticks to the syllabus. overall very fair!
I thought she was great, it surprises me to hear that some people didn't like her but after taking her class its probablly the ones always showing up late or missing class. she's nice but she doesn't let you make up anything if your not there!
Took the class online, she gives 2 weeks for each chapter and has 1 quiz, 1 timed exam, and discussions over 2 weeks. i thought it was interesting and she gives you a fair amount of time to due the assignments. Would recommend her, do your work and read the chapters, easy A.
I had her for Psych 111 and 112 and she is AMAZING. I took the 111 in class where the tests were really easy going and the online is awesome. She is one of my favorite teachers. Easy A if you do the work
Took her online class. Do not expect any email responses! The class is pretty easy if you do the work. Work for each chapter is due once every two weeks. The discussion postings (4) are due in the first week, but the quiz, exam, and big question (essay) is due by the end of the 2nd week. Do your work and you'll pass.
Prof. Tiru is an excellent instructor. I took her online General Psychology course & I am very happy I did so. As others have mentioned, she gives you two weeks to complete the work, but I managed to get all the work (4 discussions, a quiz, exam and "big question") done in the first week. Overall a great teacher and I would recommend this course!
Really easy. Just show up cause she has little class activities that she counts. Gives tons of extra credit.
she great! any bad feedback are from the students who son't do their part! Finally a teacher who does something other than powerpoint!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Take this class online. U will Pass with a A definitely.
IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT COLLEGE AND YOU WANT TO LEARN SOMETHING DO NOT TAKE TIRU. But if you don't care about education and want to receive an easy A for learning almost nothing then take her. she frequently cancels class 5 min before it starts and has an extremely low energy level.
she is great! fair and sticks to the syllabus....oh and she acyually uses the textbook.
Had her both in-class & then on-line (for 201). She uses the books & power point. Study and you will do fine. It's not a hard class, but not an "easy" A either. You do have quizzes, tests and a paper to do. Do the work & you'll be fine.
Great class, Professor Tiru is very sweet! She is clear about the work she expects, and sticks to the syllabus. She is fair and gives enough time for assignment completion. I would definitely take a class with her again! :)
I liked her as a person but take the class online if you need the credit she is an online style class. All powerpoint etc. It wasnt an interesting class and the class was bored to tears half the time because she teaches in powerpoint format. Take it online - she is nice and everything but the class wasnt as interesting as a psych class should be.
Loved her! She was interesting and cared about us passing!
Excellent professor! I took her for online life span class. She was such a great help and professionalism! Very nice explained the concept in her power points. And she knows exactly her stuff. All of them should be like her!I am grateful for I had one of the best professors at NVCC.
Mrs. Tiru was an absolute joy from day one. She obviously wants to see her students succeed, but not just skate by. She also adds incentive strive for A's, because if you Ace all 3 of her tests, she lets you SKIP THE FINAL EXAM! (yes, that needed caps-lock). Easily one of the best teachers I have ever had.
Mrs Tiru, make Psychology H111 class is fun, she has a great sense of humor. She is easy going, very helpful. She gives you enough time to complete online assignments via launchpad. There's no midterm, no final test, a few writing assignments, and a final presentation. She's very helpful with all that ask for help.
At first her classes were boring and I felt like I wasn't learning anything but as you go further the lessons are a lot more interesting. It's an easy going class. She doesn't give tests, just one major essay and presentation.
makes psychology interesting! fair amount of work.
Took life span development as a hybrid class, meeting once a week and modules (a quiz, long answer question and test) biweekly. If you read the textbook you will do well on the modules. There was a final project that was very easy to accomplish in the time given and Ms. Tiru is a very appraochable, kind person so you have nothing to worry about.
I took my first pay class with her and learned NOTHING. Now in my second psy class and everything others know I do not. She doesn't act like a professor, she even tried to ahem but I pretended i didn't take the hint. Instead of teaching she uses other means. My cousin who also took her told me she said something totally inappropriate to her ahem
Worst teacher in my three years at nvcc. I wasted both my time and money. She is very RUDE.
She was straight forward with what she expected. Class was intersting. Alot of class discussions. Overall a good experience.
LOVED HER CLASS! Just great!
Super easy online class!!
Extremely easy online class! Would deff take her again! also super friendly.
Awesome teacher, i had her for pysch and first year. Loved her. Wants you to pass and will help you out. Make sure you go to class and take notes.
Yo, Imma be honest Tiru is awesome. Easy going, she kinda funny, she's kinda hot, and seriously easy grader. AP Psych in high school was harder! Plus her whole class is around everyone succeeding!
Awful teacher. We didn't learn anything.
Even though I got an A, I did NOT learn anything. She spends class time, our time, about her personal likes and dislikes.
She's very nice and respectful. Great teacher and gives feedback on everything!
Excellent course
The class is honestly pretty boring. Show up, take notes if you want, and just do the homework and whatever other assignments there are then you're done. She's usually pretty straightforward with what she wants done. Not a very interesting class, not a super demanding class either.
Tiru is an awesome Professor. She does a lot of class discussions and each chapter does an activity to earn points toward your grade. Her power points really help to break the concepts down and she does a lot of different methods to help with learning. Her final is an APA paper with a presentation and she doesn't do test. I would recommend
I really enjoyed the class and the activities we did
Good teacher. Straight forward and clear on what she wants done. Her power points work great to break down the information.
Very nice professor
I really enjoyed this course, and I felt as if I learned a lot from it. Professor Tiru is very understanding, and she wants all to succeed. The coursework is straightforward and to the point. Just make sure to do all Launchpad and all group assignments. This will ensure a great grade in the class.
She doesn't give tests and she is a no stress Professor.
Mrs. Tiru is clear on the information that she teaches. She is a nice person, and is an extremely fair teacher. Class participation is crucial for this course. She is very engaging with her students. I loved her class! I also learned a lot about psychology that other professors could not get through to me. She truly connects with her students!
Professor Tiru may be a great teacher in person, but unfortunately her online courses leave a lot to be desired. I took her for a summer class, and over the course of 8 weeks, she directly communicated with the class twice. Otherwise, it was all about reading, taking open book tests & quizzes, and communicating with classmates. Very disappointing.
Great teacher. Easy grader. Excellent teacher.
The class was a joy to be in. Angela Tiru gave plenty of time to get your research paper/project done. Extremely easy to speak with.
Took an online course with her and wasn't too satisfied. She is barely there to answer questions so expect to wait days to a week+ to get a response and her tests are difficult. She does, however, give a lot of opportunity with a quiz and discussions in each module that help boost your grade. If you're going to take her, I'd recommend on campus.
Seem like a nice lady but I just don't think she's fair with her grading.
She's a very nice professor but the tests were ridiculously hard. She also hands out a lot of work even though the online class is every other week its a good couple of hours of work you are doing before the due date. It's not really worth reading the book because I did not find it helpful for the tests she was given every module.
Only directly communicated with the class 2x & that was through BB emails which were short & curt. No response to emails sent directly to her. No activity to lead or direct discussions that were mandatory, so had no way of knowing if we were on track. Grading: 1 month in stuff wasn't graded from day 1. Short essays graded with no feedback.
Took Life Span online for winter course and it was awesome. She doesn't nag about anything she's helpful, really enjoyed myself. do what you have to do and you will pass with The grade you want.
Amazing professor gives a lot of chances to pass the class
Great professor! Very understanding!
Loved her! Can't wait to take her again next semester. She was an amazing professor. Her class is also extremely easy. All tests/homeworks/quizzes are online. You just have to do the work online to pass.
Great teacher. I highly recommend taking her class.
Anglea is amazing. Shes a really down-to-earth person and cares about everyone. Her lectures are really good. She doesnt just read off the PowerPoints, she actually interacts with us. Highly recommend taking her for PSY 111.
Great teacher, nice class
Professor Tiru is a wonderful professor. She makes this class very doable and very easy to get an A. You need to do all the homework to pass, but if you follow the instructions, it is very easy. There is a research paper at the end of the semester that she allows you the entire semester to complete. She is a very kind and helpful teacher.
Professor Angela class is not hard. She is very nice respected professor. All she ask is do H.W online and have your paper and your presentation for the semester.
Very nice and caring
Though this teacher is extremely nice she can make the class feel a little childish or not as mature as college students. She treats every student with respect which is always nice, is not harsh a out anything, and explains everything. If you skip you miss a chapter and yoire behind and there is a lot of homework.
Great teacher, easy to understand and explains material well. funny and fun to learn from.
She is very understanding and helps you.
Professor Tiru is a great professor, that makes learning interesting. I would definitely take a class with her again as well as recommend classes taught by her, to others.
The class is lecture, class participation, launchpad assignments, and one paper/presentation. Its easy but Id suggest setting alarms or something to make sure you remember to do the launch pads. I wish she would send emails out to remind about them/be more active through email or blackboard. Other than that shes a pretty good teacher.
I definitely enjoyed this class... I never felt bored and the grading criteria was clear as well as her assignments.
Cares about students
Good professor, most of the assignments are homework but its easy stuff
Great Professor to take. Needed to take this class to get to the Nursing program. One of the nicest professors Ive had. Really goes into detail, but makes everything easy to understand. Would recommend to everybody!
A strong and fun lady
awesome teacher would definitely take a class taught by her again
��
I enjoyed having her as my professor, she makes this class a lot easier
Amazing professor, shows she really cares about her students.
Professor Tiru made it much easier for me to understand all of the basics of psychology. Through repetition in homework and lectures, it was easy to stay on track and pass the course. It was also very easy to send an email and make a quick appointment if you needed to discuss anything! (:
shes a great teacher, and would take her again. she made information simple and manageable to review and understand.
Wonderful, caring professor that makes you enjoy being in class. Uses group work and class participation often so attendance is important. Clearly lists what is expected in her class to get an A and offers extra credit. Read, do your homework and participate in class! No difficult exams.
Want an A? Take this class. Second time taking her & I got an A both times. I took her in class one semester and it was honestly a little more difficult than her online class, but still extremely easy. The onlie class was a breeze.
Great class.
I really like her class although the homework is due before even discussing the chapter.
Very nice person
you got me interested in psych. i alresy took this class and failed. this time around i feel confident i will pass
Lovely
She is very understanding and cares for her students! Will work with you!
This professor gives great constructive criticism on your work. She tells you what went well and where you can improve for the future. The class participates through presented questions or simple activities. The lectures are clear enough to understand, and are backed with visuals 80% of the time for a better learning experience.
Pretty nice
No test, no quiz, no exams, one apa paper with presentation online homework daily o
Very good professor. Isnt a tough grader and would recommend to anybody whos a first year student.
Just make sure you do your homework and participate in class activities.
Professor Tiru is pretty great. She's super nice and understanding. She makes the lectures fun and easy to understand. Get intro course.
Great teacher. cares about students. No test just a paper and presentation
Professor Tiru is a great professor teaching Psychology 111. She demonstrates the ways of the mind by using visuals on PowerPoint. I had no issues with working with the assignments that were given on LaunchPad. They are easy to do and fun to learn. There are no tests given to us in class but we do small activities. The final is an APA paper & PP.
Was fun learning new things.
Great teacher
Prof Tiru is one of the kindest instructors I have had. She grades mostly though the homework on launchpad (homework). It was probably one of the easiest things I have ever done. Then you do a verbal presentation and a paper at the end of the semester. Super easy . As long as you try you cannot fail.
She is a professor that is understanding as long as you do all of your homework on time and show up to class on time and never miss an assignment and when you are in class make sure you participate and takes notes as long as you do that you are guaranteed to pass the class with a good grade she does care about her students succeeding in the end.
Made the content understandable and is extremely reasonable, I miss her but have no classes I can take in my major that she teaches.
She is by far the best teacher ive ever had. She teaches soooo well. Explains things so well. no midterm or final.
I learned so much from her!
Good class. Nice lectures. Beware of online homework which tends to be very long and confusing to many. Slightly better grading system than most!
She is a fantastic teacher !! She really know how to teach!
Such an awesome teacher , she takes her time and makes sure you learn everything you need to know
I enjoyed the class the professor was very clear and had a more hands on approach very nice and caring
I like how there was lectures every class and PowerPoints to go with them. She made the class very interesting and easy to understand. Could have been a little bit more descriptive with expectations of assignments such as the final assessment. Otherwise teaching style is effective and organized.
The text book is not needed but the online access code is. Really easy going professor that is caring and understand her students. She reviews the material pretty well.
the online homeworks are long and boring, need the textbook to get the code. homework's aren't a lot but they represent 50% o your grade and it is hard to see all of the things that are due
The class was quite nice. The professor was thorough with her lectures, and she is very attentive to any concerns that her students may have. If there is at least one thing to consider, it should be that if you're having trouble with comprehending the course material or with the assignments, don't hesitate to ask for assistance.
Pretty easy class online book was confusing and theres no tests or quizzes s
She is so sweet and understands that people have lives outside of class. Her class is very interactive and she makes the lessons fun!
This class was average. I found that some of the things I was graded on were too harsh. However, I did need to extend time on assignments and she was completely understanding!
She sets up the course in a clear way. Each module has the same format so after the first one you know what to expect! There are no surprises. She has well organized materials and clear grading.
THE BEST CLASS I TOOK SO FAR!
The online class setup was very easy to understand and straightforward. I have no complaints about the work. There was a weekly discussion, a quiz, writing assignment, and test every week. This professor does not answer your emails so be prepared to figure things out for yourself
Great teacher. Truly cares about you succeeding
Did not respond to emails and did not put grades in for weeks. I liked the class but the grading and communication needed to be improved greatly. Had exams and quizzes for winter course.
Professor Tiru is very laid back but also very much cares for your education. Would reccomend!
Loved the class! Well organized and everything is in syllabus! if you ask her a question and the answer is in the syllabus, she will just tell you to read the syllabus!!!
Great Class! This online class is well organized and a fair amount of work. Actually learned a lot!
I really enjoyed taking my psych courses with Professor Tiru. She is very clear and concise in what she expects out of her assignments. Sometimes she is a little delayed in her grading, but she continually uploads grades throughout the semester, so there are no real surprises. I had no issues getting an A and took her again the following semester.
Professor can be condescending, not good for older students ( she will treat you like a child). Assignments are unclear, and EVERYTHING is a group project, which is not appropriate for psych. Would not take again.
She is probably one of the sweetest teachers you will meet at this school. You can tell she loves her job and it is very easy to be focused in her class. Everything she does is engaging. She give time in class to do projects. The only complaint is that the final is a ten page paper but she gave us almost a month.
Awesome class! She made the class contect and i will miss everyone in the class too
Took this professor this semester as an online course. I was afraid, being my first online course but I had nothing to worry about. As long as you read the content, submit your assignments on time, & actually put effort in, it will be a breeze. I will say, she doesn't respond via email which isn't the best but overall a great experience.
Such a great teacher. Really likes what she does and has leniency with homework/projects. You will have to be in groups at times but not move around meaning your group will just be the people around you. There's a textbook that's online and free but not extremely important. You won't be lost if you didn't read a chapter or two. She's also funny lol
Professor Tiru was great. Her lectures were very engaging because she always presented the information in an interesting or relatable way. Even though I took her class in-person, there were still occasional online assignments. Make sure you are keeping up with them as they are not always mentioned in class. I would still highly recommend.
Took intro & now Lifespan online w/her. She teaches these 2 courses differently. Intro was engaging and class was fun. Lifespan is very independent and online. A work at your own pace kind of class. It worked for me because I now I am working more and the flexibilty is needed. Overall I think this lifespan class was oganized and would recommend.
Professor Tiru's class is engaging and interactive. While some assignments can be unclear, she is understanding and attentive to student needs. unstuckstudy proved a helpful study tool alongside the textbook.
This class actually taught me things I will use in my life!! Best professor at NV by far!!!!
She made this class interesting. The only class I actually WANTED to attend! I felt like it was content I could actually use in my life! I might choose psychology as my major because of this of this class
This course had several essays required but the material was interesting. no multiple choice. This was an online class and was organized and independent so it worked for my work life.
This professor is not good at replying or engaging with students. Assignments were *very* easy, and I learned little from the course. If you are looking for an easy class, take it. If you are looking to learn something, pick another professor. The class's blackboard is disorganized and confusing at times - final project had no submission spot.
class was very interesting, and Iearned a lot. take this professor if you want to get an A. no test just pop quizzes, essays for each chapter, and we had a research paper that was a big percent of our grade. I have no regrets, and I'll be taking life span development with her.
