Tammie is the absolute sweetest and caring professor. I had her for college learning strategies, and I owe my success in my first semester of college to her and the AAD102, she really helped me put things into perspective and showed our class what we need to do to succeed in college and how we can do it!

Tammie is the most wonderful woman I've had the chance of meeting. I was in her class after struggling in my first semester at CMU, and she helped me so much. She makes you work for it, obviously, but her class was so worth it. I wish I could take a class with her again.
