He is one of the best psych teachers I have taken. . .

Awesome teacher. Had a lot of real life examples to give to help learn. Highly recommend.

He is a really good teacher. He has a lot of stories in which he incorporates into his lessons which are entertaining and helpful. You have to know the material. If you pay attention and study you'll do great. I know I did I got an A!

He's awesome! Very funny..talks about his life and his clients so we actually can associate with what we are learning. Great class.

GREAT PROFESSOR AND EVERYONE SHOULD TAKE MR. T. HE IS SO GOOD!!!!

Will never take another of his classes. His ATS system is garbage, I did extremely well on his assignments/tests and still got a B. Why? Because of his subjectively graded ATS system. Don't ever let him notice you and you can slip by with an A.

Very interesting class. I loved it.

Stress Management class... very clear on what he wants you to know, however the 45 minute presentation is JUST a little too much. ATS system = joke. Thats all I have to say about that. Summary: Find someone else

Had two of his classes and they were great. The eastern medicine was very interesting. Makes you realize that there is life outside of the USA.

His jokes keep you interested. Some of them are funny, but he still keeps you laughing. He's very clear in his lessons and has some good stories.

If you're going to take his class: I hope you're ready to meditate.

I think the man was funny (made the time go by fast). I think he was cute too (made me have good dreams) but odd (a little) but who isn't. If you want to learn about the mind, I recommend taking Mr. Ticken, he's awesome! :)

AN EXCELLENT PROFESSOR

The man lectures with style and substance. He is so smart, sexy, witty and a grat professor. He makes you learn.

Health Psych is a must have course for Psych majors. The assignments are nontraditional and fun (although not easy). You will learn a great deal about the physiological connection to behavior patterns and like previously stated you will practice meditation. Not for students looking for blow off credits- but a must for serious learners.

Best teacher ever!

The people who rate this professor badly are probably bad, unself-aware students. He is a great teacher for anyone interested in personal development and comprehensive health. He brings a great, mellow energy to the class and lives what he preaches. Great teacher.

His stress management class is phenomenal! It is comprehensive, uses a great textbook, and covers a practical approach to the *skill* of managing your stress. It is very personal, and requires a good deal of self-awareness. Not for people who think the teacher is supposed to baby you. Highly recommend.

Mr. Tinken was a great professor. You had to attend class but as long as you attended and paid attention he gave you almost all information you needed to ace the tests. He also supported your success in college by giving many useful tips. Loved him.

Got alot out of his class. He taught things so that they were easy to understand. Lots of stories that relate to what you are learning about. One of the best teachers i have ever had. He has a very optimistic and happy personality. Over all a fantastic teacher.

Mr. Tinken is really stirct. I woujld suggest don't miss any of his classes he takes off points even if you have someone die in your family or you are in the hospital. Also he has a tendancy to give you last minute information that is one your test only minutes before you take that test. Hope you can earn quickly.

mellow tone, class isnt very lively

I got an A in this class. Everyone who failed would joke the day of exams about how they didn't study for the tests or do the homework. They would be somehow be shocked once they got their grades, start badmouthing the teacher, accusing him of disliking them because "they spoke their minds", etc. The teacher is hot, BTW.

When I read his reviews on here I was terrified to start his class, but I absolutely love him. He makes the classes interesting by teaching using case studies, and sometimes he acts the part of the disorder we're learning about. He is really open to us asking questions, and I've never seen him single anyone out or embarrass them. Fantastic teacher!

Professor Tinken is a very funny professor. He knows a lot about psychology. Though the class can be a drag at times, it is almost always relevant. Tinken also shows a lot of enthusiasm for psych.

He was a nice teacher. You cant txt during class cuz he gets super pissed about it. Just take notes and youll do fine on his tests. Although his homework was kinda of diffiuclt i did pass with a B+ so hes a good teacher.

Professor Tinken is an awesome teacher. He gives you study guides for the chapter, as long as you go through the book and fill them out you will get an a on the tests. show up to class and study and you'll do completely fine. He clearly has a lot of experience in psychology and knows what he's talking about. Id definitely recommend taking his class

Very knowledgeable teacher. He brought a lot of real cases and personal information into the class, which made it more interesting. He is very into Ayurveda and getting his students more knowledgeable on the subject, but it was neat. DON'T be absent, he'll mark off points even if you have dying family. Study the book, take notes, and you'll pass.

Excellent teacher, very funny, never boring. Always do the chapter concepts for the tests! He made psychology very simple and easy to learn. I wish my high school psychology teacher could have been as good as him!

LOVED this teacher! Was very interesting. Wrote me a letter of recommendation to help me get a scholarship. Lectures were very funny and informative. Do the learning objectives and take good notes and you will do fine on his tests. Attendance policy is strict. You lose points for being absent no matter why but this was my fav class!

I LOVED this class!!! This teacher was helpful, energetic, and entertaining. He is one of my favorite professor so far, and I have been going for 3 years now. He get's very bothered by cell phones, being tardy, or falling asleep. So don't be rude, and you will do fine.

Prof Tinken is a very passionate instructor. I'd retake him again. I'm expecting at least a B/B+. He brings tons of real life experiences and examples to the class. He introduced me to TM which I'd highly recommend to all. He does tend to stray off the subject a lot and some people want a self diagnosis from him which I found annoying.

He is a really nice and interesting person, he likes to get off topic but can bring it right back to the topic. This class is fun and boring but he will help you and break down anything you need help with.

He is very passionate about the subject matter and makes the class interesting. However if you want to do good in this class make sure to pay attention in class, take notes, and do the study guides. If you do this, it will be very easy to get an A

Great teacher Excellent curriculum Very Insightful and understanding

I took Mr. Tinken twice. I personally liked his teaching style, and enjoyed attending his classes. He is very passionate and has a lot of knowledge to share. If you are a student who has issues making it to every class, this is not the teacher for you. He expects you to be present always. If you like psych, this is a good teacher to take! :)

This teacher was so funny, I loved taking him. As long as you come to class, take notes, and read the chapter its an easy pass for all exams. He makes class very interesting as well. I would take him again if I could.

I thought Professor Tinken was great. He gives a clear syllabus, the tests incorporate the notes from class as well as what he says in his lectures . If you give him the respect he deserves by paying attention in class you should have no issue doing well in class. Attending class is crucial. Be respectful and do not be on your phone.

I took psychology in high school so his class was an easy A for me, but if you put in the work and pay attention you'll do fine in the class. Tinken makes a lot of jokes, and the class is never dull I would definitely take him again!

Tinken is literally the best professor. He is crazy funny, and tells amazing jokes. All of his lectures are very interesting too. Pat "TinkenThinkin" is also one of the only abnormal psych professors to teach about Ayurveda-Very interesting. His tests are tough,but well worth the lecture. I couldn't ever wait for another class to go to.

He grades attendance and doesn't allow any excuses. He makes jokes and connects with the students. He is very willing to help as long as you are putting forth the effort into learning. Does not tolerate sleeping or texting in class and will call you out on it. Just buy the aplia code, the textbook is on it and you don't use the book it class.
