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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
