Prof. Tinsley is very funny and knowledgeable about the subject! the class was graded by 9 written "quizzes" each week and these were incredibly easy to pass, you just had to at least read a summary of the readings and listen in lecture.

Ugh why can't all professors be like her? Seriously, if she's teaching the class I want in ASAP. She's so passionate. I love her lectures. They make you want to participate. We had 3-4 take-home papers. It helps keep your grade stabilized. She's also very understanding. Although I didn't like the TA "CROSKEY P E," her grading criteria are awful.

Amazing teacher who cares a lot about her students. Content is very well put together and she is very passionate about it. Light work load, and the work that is assigned is stuff you actually will enjoy doing. Very adaptable content and understanding teacher. Great class and professor, highly recommend.

An interesting and overall chill class. Only assignments are take home exams with 4 questions for each unit. Also multiple extra credit opportunities. Prof Tinsley is super interesting and funny, and class starts off with music/music video. Her ESA comes to class she's super cute. Def Recommend.

Dr. Tinsley is amazing. The readings/viewings/lectures are always relevant to the exams. Dr. Tinsley is very helpful through meetings and email. If you are concerned about writing/reading extensively, this course may not be for you. Your grade is determined by content based essay exams. NOT an easy A, but 100% recommended. You will learn A LOT!

BLST153 . Tinsley O N 5 Years Ago

Absolutely fantastic professor! BLST 153 was incredibly interesting, and the feedback you get on your weekly-ish journal assignments is incredibly helpful. Prof. Tinsley's very flexible with due dates, and is quite available outside of class. Really looking forward to taking another class with her!
