she is a very difficult teacher but she will pass anyone who tries,does the work, and goes to class!i liked her and i would take here again

Mrs Tiege is a wonderful teacher. I enjoyed every class. If you do what she wants and she thinks you are into it, she will pass you. I plan to take her again.

Nice lady. Work may seem impossible to get a decent grade on, but graded work easier later on the semester. Not the best teacher. Sometimes goes on tangents. Hard material to grasp. Ask for extra credit.

She's nice, assigns bullshit work and a killer paper/lenient with due dates. A = effort + extra credit. Good philosophy teacher, tho I hear she's a **** when it comes to history. Tip - never call an ancient philosophers work "bullshit"

very engaging and interesting. all around nice lady, interesting lectures, her assinments can be a chalenge though. don't take her if you're looking for an easy A.

you must think outside the box in this class. i took 15 credits all in quick term and got an A in this class. if you are not openminded, do not take. it will confuse you. and i give her a hot!! she is a wise, wonderful woman who knows her subject matter.

I liked this teacher. The material was interesting and semi-easy. We didn't get any tests but we got papers. If you don't like papers, don't take this class. The papers weren't so bad tho. I liked it, we watched some movies too.

nice lady but very confusing. Her papers are apparently easy (I get A's and B's) but they are so confusing I have no idea what grade I am getting back. Stressful class but not too hard

I liked her ; she was a nice lady ; and the class wasn't as bad as I thought it would be ; it seems hard ; but you do the work ; theres group work too ; im gonna take her for ethics ; cuz i had baker and he was horrible so i have to take it over ;

She's a very nice teacher and kind of easy. If u take notes then you pass the class. Her quizes are so easy. Class is kind of cufucing but you will get it. I'll give her an A for excellence and the good teacher. She do CTA Assignements and a final paper about 8 to 10 pags. But she's good.

overall i thought she was a great professor. her class was much harder than many of the classes at OCC but she is very helpful and at first the class seems a lot harder than it really is. here is a tip, forget everything you know about writing and write how you truly think for the papers and you will do fine.

Tietge is hard...but just suck up and you'll get an A...

a lot of work, but as long as you keep up each week it isn't a problem. she's nice but the class is hard. keep up with the reading and you'll be fine.

She is a brilliant professor. With her PHD in Philosophy, Dr. Tietge can offer you a lot if you are prepared to work. Her class is not an "easy A", so those of you who want to breeze through and don't care about the knowledge you receive, I suggest you don't take this class. If you want a challange and want to expand ur mind, TAKE HER CLASS! :-)

Intelligent and interesting. Not a class for the lazy or disinterested. I never took a philosophy class before so had ot idea what to expect. I like this class and the instructor quite a bit.

My second class with Dr. Tietge, and I was once again pleased. She really teaches you how to think critically in daily life, and how important it is. She is tough, the assignments are tough, and her class is time consuming, but its very rewarding, so don't take her if you want an easy "A". she is easily one of THE BEST teachers I have ever had.

She is a tough professor, but if you are willing to put in the effort it will a rewarding class. She forces you to think outside the box. She has fun teaching and it shows. I knew nothing about philosophy going in but I can actually carry an intelligent conversation about it now. This class is not for the faint of heart at all.

I loved her and i learned the most from her class because you are forced to be interested bc of the amount of work you will recieve. She seems like a witch, and she seems like she doesnt care if you pass or not, but she does. It's a front. students dropped her class, I stuck it out and got an because I tried, even though I did get 2 D's on my paper

best professor i've ever had. this philosophical ethics class is great.

i took her online, i tried but i admit got lazy towards the end...my final average for the class was a 42/100 so i withdrew from the course...but then i realized THE CLASS AVERAGE WAS 48/100---does that not tell you something!!!

she's a tough one. You really have to work in her class to pass. i had her for ethics, and the quizzes were online like the midterms. unlimited time and # of takes for them which was a plus. however, if this wasn't the case, 99% of my class would've failed. oh, and the 4+pg papers a week got rough too. so best of luck if you take her!!!!

Her lectures in class are extremely hard to understand, but what else would you expect from a philosophy class? I learned a lot from her class, and it changed the way I think about things. I'd suggest her to anyone and everyone. Just don't put off the quizes and tests online or you'll end up spending hours taking them.

Dr. Tietge ignited my sense of wonder and I still pursue old classics that she mentioned in an off-handed way. She is the best professor I had at OCC, hands down. Her classes are not for the lazy, nor for the fly-by-night "I'm entitled to a good grade" students. If you work hard, you will reap the rewards. I now have a passion for Philosophy!

She is definately tough, but if you participate you can easily get an A. The class is a lot of work. There is also a lot of required reading. But if you are willing to do the work an A is not impossible. She is also very good at responding to emails with in 24 hours.

She isn't an easy teacher by any stretch. But she's an excellent teacher, for sure. Don't take anyone giving her bad ratings seriously. She knows what she's doing, and knows the material, but don't expect to get spoon fed anything. She expects you to think outside of the box, and think for yourself.

most people really seem to hate this teacher along with my ex girlfriend but i loved it i loved going to class people dont like her because she makes you think in a way that others professors never had you do. its alot of work but i enjoyed her alot

Hmm. Perhaps when some of the slackers who post here get a Ph.D., they can complain about having to call someone who's earned the degree "Dr." Philosophy is hard; you want easy, take criminal justice.

I thought she was really interesting and really enjoyed what she was teaching. Overall there was allot of work, but as long as you where willing to put time and effort you can get a decent grade.

I took an online 5wk summer class. Very demanding on time, the schedule wasnt clear at first but she made an effort to make it clear. Be ready to read a lot, more her handouts than the book; participate a lot c consistent arguments and u should be fine.

I took Tietge for Intro to Philosophy, Critical Thinking, and World Religions. She is one of the smartest women you will meet in your life. If you put the smallest amount of effort into the class you will succeed. If something is confusing, she will explain it. Great professor!

Had Dr.Tietge for PHIL-191, Intro to Philosophy. She is incredibly intelligent, gives a lot of work, but the class is worth it.

She is great, kind of hard to understand if you're an idiot like most of the people at OCC.. But if you are at least capable of independent thought, then she's amazing! I took her more than once! Got A's both times.

An amazing professor who actually makes you think about things instead of simply asking you to regurgitate the textbook. She gives you everything you need to know, but you just have to have the brain power to find it. A real easy class, and if you do all homework and some extra credit, you can get at least a B no problem. Also, talk in class. A lot

Demanding but interesting. I am a non-graditional student and have expressed my concerns about being able to keep up. If you do your homework and interact in class you will get a passing grade.

Awesome teacher. Does get off subject on occasion but topics are still interesting. Not easy by any means- extremely challenging, especially for an intro class which is a required course. However, I was hooked, both on philosophy and her style. I am going to take ethics this semester if her class is open.
