She's AWESOME & has a great sense of humor! There's pop quizzes (bonus points built in usually) & a few assignments. Follow the lectures carefully & attend class everyday!! You def. have to EARN the A. She's great about answering every little question & makes the class interesting. I recommend the 4 days/week class. Take her, you wont regret it!!

Tessa is a great teacher. She's really flexible and helps her students learn and understand info. Classes are fun. Pop quizes keep you on you toes. Fair on grading and always available for appointments!

I loved Tessa, she is very helpful and genuinely cares about the performace of her students. She is funny, engaging and quite entertaining. Tests and practicums are reasonable, with pop quizes once in a while. Plenty of points in the quarter so there is room for improvement if you mess up a little. Bonus points and other easy points available.

Tessa is an absolutely amazing teacher! She is very patient with her studnets and really wants you to understand what she is teaching. I really enjoyed her - she has a great sense of humor and is very human-like, as in she understands that most of us are not completely super excited about Biology and still is able to express her craziness for how m

Tessa is one of those teachers who absolutely loves her subject. She is very fair, giving extra credit in practically every test & assignment. Lectures are KEY to the exams- try to never miss class. She always answers questions & wants you to actually understand & learn, not just pass. Overall, attend lectures closely, ask questions & you'll A+ it.

this class is SO HARD! i'm a straight A student and this class takes so much freaking work! I don't reccomend her if you're not willing to work for your grade but if you want an amazing teacher who is hillarious and actually knows what they're talking about, tessa's the one for you. she could definately be a stand up comedian, she cracks me up!

She's so funny and cute. Her lectures are always funny with her humorous antics. Reminds me of a cute, fluffy polar bear.

It is IMPOSSIBLE to get an A in this class....She DOESN'T ACCPET ANY E-MAIL ASSIGNMENTS, but she puts everything up online. You might remain totally culeless when everyone else is turning in some homework, and Tessa will tell you that "sorry u didn't check the Calenda online" In lecture, She speaks clear, tests are FREAKING hard..GL if u take her

Tessa rocks! Outstanding lectures, great sense of humor, and genuinely wants her students to succeed. She doesn't put up with bullsh*t, so the people who don't like her are the ones who want to bullsh*t their way through class (and life). Yes, the assignment calendar is online - remember that and you won't miss any. It's not that difficult, people!

She's one of the most amazing professors I've had at Bellevue. She's got an incredible sense of humor and is very easy going, but don't let that fool you into thinking she's easy. She expects you to work HARD! Study your ass off, and don't put one word answers on tests, make sure to explain in details your thoughts on tests! FUN FUN FUN!!!

Everybody TAKE HER! I love her!! I've had 4 bio teachers and she's the best! She takes humor, but don't fool around. Need a good common sense in her tests.

AMAZING!!tessa is one of the best teacher's ive had at bellevue, she's not easy but she loves her subject and explains with so much clarity that even a 3 year old would have no problem with the complex subject of biology...fieldtrips are kinda annoying especially on a saturday morning and labs sometimes seem pointless but she is the best teacher ev

She was one of my favorite teachers at Bellevue. Does a very good job explaining all the concepts you need to know. As long as you show up to class, take good notes, and study, you will do well. Only downside are the mandatory field trips on Saturdays.

I'm sure that students who can't spell, like the one who wrote the review prior to mine should probably not be taking a 200 level Biology class. I'm sure they also didn't do as well as they hoped. Tessa is a great teacher, that doesn't equate to easy!!! Take her, she's fantastic!!!

Tessa does treat her students like her 3-year-old which can be annoying at times and can be super picky but she knows her materials in and out. She was very responsive to all my emails. Attendance is a must as you learn a lot from dissections. The class format shifts dramatically from evolution to dissections and might be hard to get used to.

One of the more difficult labs I have taken. If you go to class and you do the work, and spend a good amount of time study for the tests, you will do very well. Get to know Tessa, as this will help you along in the class. I encourage being on her good side. Lots of group projects, however, everything was managable. I loved this class.

Tessa is a nice person and a fun teacher. Her lectures are not boring at all, and her class is engaging. PAY ATTENTION to EVERY SINGLE THING she says in class, cuz they might show up on the test, even if they were mentioned once. My only complaint about this class is the testing style. The tests are hard, and you never know what to expect.

Tessa is very helpful and will take the chance to explain what you don't understand if you put in the effort to come to office hours. Homework and projects are easy, but the tests are hard. Just don't based your studying by your notes, read the book for more clarity. Great teacher and a great person.

The most amazing professor at BC. You will learn the most if you take her. The people who complained about her probably should change their career path, because maybe you do not have what it takes to compete in this field. If you don't spend 2-3 hours EACH day after class and 10 hours on weekends, you won't get an A, guaranteed.

Exam's extremely difficult, very critical grader. If you earned an A in prior classes be prepared for a wake up. On the good side, very good teacher, well taught lectures and labs, she knows her material well and communicates it and expectations well. Very little use of txt book. Overall a good teacher, just rediculous tests.

You had better prepare well for exams because they are tough. Even if something was mentioned once in class, don't be surprised to see it on an exam. Tessa is very knowledgeable, but you'll need to study a ton to earn an A. Only 5 assignments during the quarter, 60% of your grade comes from exams. Hated the test format, w/30 Powerpoint questions

Exams are hard!! but definetly do-able. YOU MUST MUST MUST study hard for her tests and take great notes. She is very fun and funny, she was easy to approach for help and she loves to help people. Her tests are rediculous cuz she has multiple choice where you circle any correct answers... its worse than i just made it sound i promise

Tessa is a fantastic teacher. Tests are tough but fair - there's nothing on the test that she hasn't covered in class, so PAY ATTENTION, take good notes & study those more than just cramming before tests! Tessa's lectures are clear and she will tell you everything you need to know (including tips like "eavesdropping" and how to study). She's great!

Tessa is a great teacher. She is difficult, but retention of the material is high due to her teaching style. If you are not willing to work, don't take her class. I also took her for 213, and I'm glad that I did. I highly recommend her. She's one of the best teachers BC has.

This is a majors level class, what do people expect?Tests are a mix of memorization and application.The majority of material comes straight from lecture, very little extra reading needed.All tests have extra credit so the few tough questions don't hurt you.Tessa is motivated and knowledgeable.Follow her instructions and you're fine.

NOT HARD. you just need a studying method: Memorize her lectures and go to her office hours (she gives test hints!). Then apply your knowledge. Attendance matters. No need to use the book. Practice anatomy and phylogenies. ALWAYS read her test directions over and over. Can drop 1 exam. Very hard on plagiarism. She is very nice! I got an A!

We need more women like Tessa, she is dedicated for her profession and she help her students alot.

Please don't listen to the negative comments. Every teacher has their teaching style, wit Tessa you remember. If you ask her questions she answers them. Please I'd rather have her lectures over a useless book. Put in effort and get no less than a B. This is a higher level class, prepares for university and standardized testing (MCAT) Stop whining.

Tessa is a crazy lady, so you either love her or you hate her. She loves invading your personal space bubble and screaming inappropriate things across the room. However, she certainly cares about her students and wants them to succeed. She has a different testing style than most teachers, but if you know the material, you will do well in her class.

Lots of BC Bio instructors do the least amount of work they can get away with. Not Tessa. She's available to students, writes real tests (not scantron) and is invested her students learning. She's quirky, but so what? Her enthusiasm is contagious. Do wish she'd get rid of the group project. Hard to learn from them.

She's tough. Put in the effort that's required for a higher level class and you'll do awesome! I took her before getting into WWU and she actually prepared me really well for the biology classes I'm currently taking. I'm not taking the MCAT but my friends that are right now recommend Tessa also

She's very enthusiasm about teaching. However, her lecture is pretty unique. She teaches things her way without following textbook at all. If you are willing to put in effort you will learn. The material itself is not hard, BUT be aware of her test, they're tricky. Otherwise, Good luck!

Tessa is the most passionate teacher ever! she is really good at teaching. I had no probelms with understanding contexts even english is not my first language. She will be pleased when you ask questions during class or after class,either!Her class is not easy bt, if you work hard that is not a problem.I strongly recommand her, you will never regret

Simply, the best Bio teacher I've ever had. She has study hours, after class, which can help a student learn even more. She's animated, caring and devoted to her students and teaching! take her class and tell others!

Tessa was amazing!!!! I had her for Bio 213 in the summer and even with the time constraints she made everything so clear and easy to understand. She makes the most difficult concepts seem childish and if you study her lectures and handouts, there is no reason you shouldn't get an A. I did not open the text book even once, don't even bother buying.

Tessa is amazing. Very enthusiastic and has a great way of explaining things. She is a little quirky, but I think for most people, it would be a good sort of quirky. Highly recommended.

Tessa is an amazing instructor. Her style is unique. Pay attention to her expectations from day 1. She does not mess around with plagiarism. The Student As Teacher assignment is a lot of work. Pay attention to every word coming out of her mouth. This class is like taking 2 classes in one if you want an "A".

LOVED Tessa, but be aware that she really is a love-or-hate type of person. Unique teaching style, make sure to write down EVERYTHING she says, memorize it as you go along, and UNDERSTAND it, because her tests are very focused on whether or not you understand the material and can see the bigger picture.

Tessa is great! She has a unique teaching style. Her tests are hard, but if you come to every class and take good notes and listen to everything she has to say. I have never needed to use the text book in her class. She offers great office hours and is always willing to help you understand things.

I took Tessa for 212 and 213 at the same time while taking two other classes, and she made my life incredibly easy by being a fantastic teacher. Tessa tells you on DAY ONE that she does not use a text book and that her lectures ARE WHAT IS GOING TO BE ON THE EXAM. Take good notes and pay attention. You'll get a good grade.

Tessa is tough but she is fair. It's imperative that you attend all her classes and try to attend as many as her office hours as you can. She will go over your work before you hand it in so you really have no excuse to not get perfect scores on assignments. Exams are tough but if you study, stay on top of it, and ask questions, an A is attainable.

Tessa is such a character! Hilarious and entertaining, great for classes where there is a lot of material because she keeps your attention. Tests are very difficult but she is alwayss willing to answer questions during/outside of class (in detail). Come to class! Ask questions! Study what she sayss, that's what will be in her exams

By far the best bio teacher I have ever had (and I've taken lots of bio classes!) For those of you that are complaining about it being hard, what do you expect? Its a college biology class, its not supposed to be easy! Tessa is always there for any questions you have. She spends so much of her time trying to help you succeed. GO TO HER OFFICE HOURS

U don't need a book for this class. She gives you everything already digested. Just follow her instructions and pay attention to everything she says. She'll also improve your test taking skills. I would definitely take 212 and 213 with professor Cornish again.

I fell in love with Tessa! She is quirky and sassy, but when it's time to get down to business she wants your undivided attention. Pay attention, take notes, and ask questions. I loved drawing the diagrams along with her. She provides the best hand-picked resources, and will help you with your assignments outside of class. GO TO OFFICE HOURS! 3 3

She is an absolute joy. i enjoyed every day of class and really felt like i was learning. I now know more about my passion for marine science through here amazing lectures.

Tessa is my favorite teacher ever! Very energetic, brings lectures to life. She grades pretty easy if you put in the effort. Do prepare for class "outside of class"; you need to meet for a field trip, and to discuss your presentation, and most students find it helpful to go to office hours. For me, easy A, I didn't go to office hours.

Attendance is mandatory! If she sees that you are trying hard and want to learn the material she will go out of her way to help you out. Do not expect an easy class, tests do take preparation and you have to take really good notes.

Tessa made the biology series way more enjoyable than if I were to take it with someone else. You can tell that she loves the subject and that she loves teaching it. Go to her office hours if you need extra help or just someone to talk to. There are mandatory field trips and one presentation. She even has an end of the year party at her house!

Tons of extra credit. No book use. Almost too good a teacher. Doesn't let you form memory pathways on your own because she's that good. Only possible critique. Gives solid extra credit and really cares about students. Don't show up your screwed, she only tests based on class stuff and the way she teaches using stories etc, you have to be there.

BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD. I cannot rave enough about her. Incredibly fun, funny and engaging lectures. Work hard, ask questions, visit her during office hours. If you put in effort and show her you care about the material and your grade, she will go out of her way to help you. I have never had so much fun in a class before. SHE IS INCREDIBLE!!!

She was a great teacher and she basically gives you everything you need to know for the test beforehand. You need to study hard but it's totally doable, just make lots of charts and practice practice practice. You don't really need the text book, but you do need the lab text for dissections. She was really the best teacher I've had in a long time.

Tessa will walk you through every single topic and explains everything clearly. You do not need a textbook in her class because she is that good. Go to her office hours( trust me it helps) and try not to skip any class. If you show her you care about this class, she will go above and beyond to help you.

Tessa is no different from a professor at the University of Washington level, you are held accountable for your understanding of the information while she is there to clarify. Her teaching style is difficult to get use to but it prepares anyone who is planning on transferring to a four year university.

Tessa was awesome, extra credit offered. The tests are hard but her lectures were by far the best I've had.

Tessa is a tough professor and is going to prepare you for anatomy 2 and if you want to leave to go to a university. She is available and has office hours. She isn't there to hold your hand. You are responsible for the material. Work hard and it'll pay off!

Summer Qtr Bio241 is intense/demanding. Drop other classes, memorize the bones in the skull/appendicular bones in advance, get a textbook early, read through Ch. 15, don't skip class, go to office hours, and do your best. If you try hard and do the above, Tessa will do her best to help you. She swears like a sailor and is funny and sweet. Love.

I have so much respect for Tessa. She is an amazing professor who wants her students to succeed. My biggest advice is go to her office hours (they are actually fun to go to)! Plus they are beyond helpful!!

I have attended 5 colleges over a 14 year period, Tessa is easily one of the best instructors I have ever taken. She presents the coursework in an entertaining way which enabled it to be more easily remembered for a course so saturated in memorization. Plenty of extra credit, awesome study guides. Highly recommend! Wish she taught 242!

Anatomy is tough but Tessa is on your team and wants to see you succeed. Go to her office hour because it will be the most productive hour of studying. She wants to know what you understand and what you do not understand so she can better help you. She has taught me studying is more than just memorizing its understanding what you're learning.

Tessa is one of the best professors I've ever had. She is hilarious and makes learning a massive amount of material fun! She is a huge fan of mnemonics to help you retain the information. Her study guides are on point! She truly cares about students and is an outstanding teacher. Go to office hours, if you can!

Tessa's the BEST! She teaches straight from lectures and gives plenty of examples. If you rely on powerpoints then do not take her as she'll actually write and draw diagrams on the board instead. Her office hours are pretty much a tutor session which is super helpful! She does not allow upright laptops or taking pics at all in class.

I LOVE TESSA. She's one of the best teachers I've ever had. Her lectures are funny and she gives her best to help you learn. Go to office hours if you can, they're live savers. She cares for her students and wants them to succeed. She uses a lot of mnemonics, which are super helpful. She doesn't allow laptops or taking pics in class.

Tessa has a very outgoing lecture style and holds you accountable for a lot of information, but is very willing to work with you inside and out of class if you're struggling. I ended up enjoying Animal Biology far more than I expected thanks to her, and I would take a class from her again in a heartbeat.

Im not sure who these people are who are saying shes not organized or that her lectures are all over the place. But in the 3 years that Ive been at Bellevue college she is the ONLY teacher I feel I have actually learned from. She is more than organized. She knows this material like the back of her hand. You can find her on campus all day.

Tessa demands excellence from her students because the material she is teaching is difficult & extremely important. Student's who have posted negative reviews of her ought consider their own work ethic as a reason for their poor performance. Tessa invests COUNTLESS (unpaid) hours of her own time outside of lecture to help students learn. Take her!

Tessa is very clear with what to focus on for the tests, and teaches to everyone's learning style. She goes above and beyond any teacher I've ever met and really puts an effort into supporting her students. She truly changed learning for me and I wish I could have her every quarter. As a 3.0 student, I was ecstatic with the 4.0 that I worked for

Tessa was the first teacher I had going back to college. She was very welcoming. Her classes are tough, but fair. You have to go to class and I would highly suggest office hours! A&P is not an easy subject, her style of teaching is so we actually learn the material. Shes a great teacher, but not for all, you have to study and put in the work.

Tessa may seem tough are first but all her rules she lays down on the first day are for your benenfit in a great learning environment. She doesn't have powerpoints posted or a textbook requirement. This means you must attend class and handwrite notes. With her humorously engaging lectures you get immersed in to her stories and jokes.

Tessa was the best professor I have ever had. She is so kind and truly cares about her students learning the material. Her lectures and engaging and fun and she keeps you on your toes for the duration of class. You need to put the work in, but it is so worth it when you get a good grade in the class.

Ive been at Bellevue College for 2 years now, and Tessa is by far one of the best teachers Ive had. She is extremely knowledgeable and does a great a job in lecture presenting the material in a way that keeps the class engaged and interested. She also makes herself very accessible outside of class for additional help.

Professor is available out of lectures of any and all questions or concerns. DO NOT be alarmed by her negative reviews she is an amazing lecturer. She keeps all her students engaged and makes exams straight forward. Attend lecture and you will pass. Been at BC for 3 years. Tessa is hands down the best professor I've had.

Tessa was the best professor I have ever had. Though the material of the course is difficult and expansive, she is incredibly clear in her expectations. There is never a surprise when it comes to her tests. Her lectures are very entertaining and engaging. Most importantly, she goes above and beyond in her investments in her students.

Tessa was an amazing teacher, her lectures aren't the typical power points, instead she creates stories to really stick the ideas and concepts into your head. If you're having trouble she's available to help you either through her office hours, or through email. The exams are straight forward as long as you actually study.

An absolutely incredible teacher, she makes you work for the grade but its worth it in the end as you have developed a real knowledge of the material you are studying

Tessa is one of my all time favorites! Smart as hell, charismatic, funny, etc. She treats students with respect, and she expects the same from them. She seems to love what she does, and she really cares about her students' success. Is she an easy A? No! She wants you to actually learn something. So pay attention, do the work, and you'll thrive!

EASILY my favorite biology teacher at BC.

Being an adult learner, I found Tessa to be the most engaging professor I have EVER had. She is committed to students' learning & willing to meet you halfway. Yes that requires students to do work! & be their own advocate for learning. Welcome to adulthood! Transparent grading, helpful instruction & personable, too. What more could you want?!

Tessa is FABULOUS! Not only is she extremely knowledgable on the subject matter, she is an outstanding educator. My advice to anyone taking her class is simple- show up. All the information you need is given in class and repeated so you wont forget it come exam time. If you need help, just ask. Tessa will give you all the time you need.

Tessa's 212 and 213 are fun courses. She is outgoing and does a good job making the subject accessible to her students. I regularly see her helping students outside of class, and I got a lot of help from her when I was her student. These are tough courses, so be sure to make time to see her for additional help if you need it and you wont regret it.

She is an amazing teacher. I had Biology 212 with her and I enjoyed the class. Also, I learned a lot. She just makes you to absorb biology, not just memorize it. She is there for you. She explains everything that you ask. I really loved that class. I strongly recommend her.

Attending office hours was vital to my success. It's important to be in class and take notes on the lecture b/c those and worksheets are the exam. She's great at presenting information so that it is easy to take notes but you will be busy keeping up. When I took the class she let you keep the best 4 out of 5 exams. There is a big group project.

For Bio241/242 Tessa is the most amazing professors I have ever had. She truly cares about her students and can explain the most complex topics in a way that make total sense. She has expectations, but they are by no means unreasonable. She is very well organized, treats everybody with respect and fairly. I wish I could always take her classes!!!

I took both BIOL241/242 with Tessa. Her lecture was fun and she posts every powerpoint on Canvas. I rarely read my textbook in her classes. She provides the most helpful office hours for students. You can study the model, worksheet or ask her questions. She is the best!!! I am going to miss her.

Tests are straight memorization but a ton of it so be prepared to spend hours on it. You also need to be there for every single lecture as there is no record of it (literally no slides, textbook, or video. Her style is only for some people and I personally enjoyed it as a UW student but it will be completely different than what you are used to.

I really enjoy Tessa's class. She has strict electronics rules (no upright laptops, tablets okay), but I prefer this and it's nice to see class wide note taking. Very lecture heavy but worth it, she's funny and highly knowledgable. Allows audio recording and provides all class material online. On the whole, definitely worth how much work you put in

The material is dense and tests are challenging. You really have to study and understand EVERYTHING from the lectures. She does a nice job presenting the lecture and explains topics in multiple ways but her tests seem to be more about do you know how to take a test an less about how well you know the material. She also doesn't post grades online.

No textbook required, no slides, no videos, but you can record. Students either love her or hate her a lot! Unique teaching style and tests are unusual. It fits more with students who are fast learners. Be nice and be cooperated in class and she will love you. Grading is fair and she gives out partial credits a lot. Tons of EC

Very fair professor. She is organized & creates documents that makes it easy to study for exams/practicums. As a bio student from UW, it was difficult for me to feel engaged because her material relies on memory rather than logic. As long as you take the time to memorize the large volume, you will ace the class - not much of a thinker kind of class

There's not many like Tessa. She is organized, gives fantastic lectures, cares about her students, and has HIGH expectations. You WILL sink or swim. However, she can also be bitingly sarcastic with students and extremely OCD and inflexible about some things. If you can handle her eccentricity and stay on her good side, you will learn.

Tessa is an incredible instructor! There are 4 exams, 10 quizzes. She removes the lowest grades of both to help boost your grade. She also uses the exams as a 'guideline' as she is the one who ultimately decides your grade. She has so many opportunities during the week to see her outside of class during study hours. They really help!

Tessa is great; she provides so much study material including study guides and worksheets for tests, hosts great office hours, and genuinely cares for her students. I actually looked forward to her lectures. 6 exams (including final), 13 quizzes, and a couple of other small assignments. Lots of extra credit, & you drop your lowest exam & 2 quizzes.

Tessa is great for A&P. She explains the material in a way that makes you really remember. She gives tons of extra credit and gives study tips. She wants her students to succeed and really helps them to do so. I took her for both 1 and 2 and wish she taught Microbio because she is honestly the best Bio professor I've ever had.

One of the hardest classes I've ever taken, and it the start it feels like you're about to end with a D (but you won't). But Tessa genuinely cares about all her students which is so rare in the science field, and she pushes you to be the best version of yourself. I wouldn't take any other Anatomy & Physiology teachers besides her!

Professor Cornish is wonderful! She really cares about her students learning A&P. She is accessible outside of class and I highly suggest attending office hours, as she goes above and beyond to help you learn. Wish I had taken her class for 241. It was the hardest class I've taken, but worth every second; I learned so much!

If it weren't for Tessa here I would still be struggling away with anatomy and physiology. She really looks out for her students and makes sure that they succeed. The rules she lays out are weird but you get use to them really quickly and you realize that its a real benefit for you. She is also really funny and really connects with you!

Youll either love or hate Tessa. Her class is definitely intimidating in the beginning, but you warm up to her style of testing and teaching. Even though an A is a 95, she determines your grade which is always in your favor, and offers tons of extra credit. Funny, memorable lectures and she is great at giving feedback and responding via text/email

LOVED Tessa! She covers the material so many ways and asks you enough questions that it's very clear that you need to study and know what you're talking about so you'll remember the content for tests and beyond the quarter. I would take her for all of my classes if I knew about her ahead of time. Summer session was intense but doable.

Tessa is AMAZING. Do not be scared by past reviews. I was really scared going into this class (and scared for about a month in) but once you figure out how she does things it's nothing to be worried about. Exams are always scary, but there are 14 quizzes throughout the quarter with TONS of extra credit. Practicum also has tons of extra credit.

Tessa is amazing! Definitely accessible outside of class. All lectures and surveys are uploaded early so you can study at your own pace. Discussions and OH are extremely helpful-sometimes questions from there show up on the exams. Not sure why there are so many mixed reviews because she is a great professor and VERY fair grader.

Tessa is an amazing human being and an awesome teacher. A&P is obviously hard. She makes rote memorization fun and encouraged us to connect concepts that made it learning less of a hassle. Plenty of opportunities for extra credit. I personally only skimmed the textbook and went off of her study guide that has a list of topics you need to master.

Tessa is an amazing person who loves her students. Her teaching style is quirky and fun, tests are very hard, but she provides plenty of extra credit opportunities to cushion your grade. I have never had a professor make herself as accessible as Tessa did, in order to help me succeed. She is truly one of a kind in the best way.

I was nervous the first week with Tessa, but she turned out to be a great professor. Super accessible, responds quickly, office hours every week, in-person open labs, and wants you to succeed. I would not have passed if I didn't go to every class. Lots of extra credit available. Summer quarter is A LOT and wouldn't advise if you work full time.

This is an incredibly hard class but Tessa makes it super fun to learn. This content would normally take forever to grasp for me but her lectures are interesting and classes help us really piece together what we learned. She also provides tons of extra credit opportunities so you can get a good grade without acing every exam and quiz. Love her!

Tessa does a great job utilizing different study methods for learning and has a quirky character towards students. She helps students by staying after hours. The content on her tests often do not reflect what is emphasized in class, so beware. Lectures are lengthy but include helpful study tips. I encourage reading the textbook than watch lectures!

This is a hard class and if you don't put in the work then you can't be mad about the grade that you get. She treats you as an adult and expects you to be one. I liked her class and how structured it is. She makes the material digestible and makes it as fun as possible. Very lecture-heavy but tons of essentially free points and extra credit.

Makes difficult material more accessible through humor and by providing useful study tools. Lots of options for extra credit and plenty of opportunities to meet for extra help and review outside of normal classroom time.

Tessa is an excellent professor. She care a lot about her students success and provides A LOTTT of opportunities for extra credit. She really tries to utilize a few different methods of teaching in order to try and help everyone learn to their best ability. She is funny and mast class time enjoyable

Tessa is an amazing teacher who helped me of studying, especially in tough subjects like anatomy. She's super energetic and loves teaching students. she showed me easy ways to remember difficult anatomy stuff. She's always there for her students and wants them to do well. I'd recommend Tessa as a teacher because she's caring, and supportive.

This professor may or may not be the right one for you. Class was never dull, and it was a fairly easy A, so I liked it. If you want to form your own opinion, search "tessa cornish" on youtube. The lectures on youtube are the primary way most students learn the material, and there are hours and hours of them.

Overall this is just a tough class. Tessa does build many different styles into her teaching. Gives a fair amount of extra credit. Drops lowest quiz and test score. I would take again. Lots of material to know for sure.

Tessa's class is challenging. That said, I passed with an A! Her YouTube lectures take time to get used to, but the exam worksheets are clutch. Create your own notes and mnemonics, and label images/diagrams on repeat until they're locked in. Extra credit helps pad grade for a poor exam or 2, but you must stay focused and study daily. Don't skip!

Tessa is unlike any professor I had at BC. I feel like one thing that many other students are forgetting is that A&P is hard, regardless of the teacher. Tessa will work with you and be hard on you when she knows you can do it. Do not be discouraged, I wish Tessa was my professor for all classes.

amazing professor! class course is very clear as long as you follow syllabus; as class work is up to you when to finish besides quizzes every Friday. Even though some things can seem strict such as attendance policy I believe Tessa has structured this class the best way possible to complete such a meaty subject of anatomy physiology.

Tessa gives you ALL the materials you need to succeed. Lots of study tips, extra credit, and tells you exactly what will be on the exams! A&P is a difficult class no matter the professor! This was my second time taking 242 but Tessa presented the information in a way that was memorable and she is absolutely hilarious! She's incredible.
