she offers loads of materials and options for extra learning. Unfortunately I took her online and I can faithfully say that she is terrible at online learning. Not only does she shrug off student complaints, but her online quizzes are often times graded wrong, she usually does not even go back and fix them. Only take if in person

Tighe is a national treasure. She gave amazing lectures and really wanted the students to pass. She was a tough grader and had not time for questions she had already answered so pay attention. If you really don't understand she is willing to work with you outside of class. Her quizzes were the right amount of difficulty.

Tighe makes you teach everything to yourself. What's covered in lectures and on homeworks, is a lot easier than what she tests you on. She's had to curve most of our exams and quizzes because so many people aren't learning what's being tested. She makes a lot of mistakes and expects the students to deal with them, good luck to those who have her.

Bonny is fantastic! I took two courses at UMBC quite a while ago, and she was genuine and accessible. Seems gruff, but is very humorous and quite enjoyable!

Tighe is a great professor. She goes thru lectures quick, but will stop and explain better if you ask. Blank notes, previous quizzes/tests, etc are provided, so there is a lot of material that can help you prepare for exams. She's very down-to-earth and understanding, too.

I had Professor Tighe for Calc 151. The good thing about her is that she gives you previous quizzes and tests for last semesters and the previous years before so you can see what is going to be on the test and quizzes. The bad thing is she is a very strict grader she has a standard on students on how you do things

She is a very good teacher, and goes through lot of examples in class, though she sometimes goes through actual notes a little too fast. You NEED to read the textbook, since she doesn't go over very much outside of examples or the first 10 minutes of class. Her TAs are almost completely useless, and they NEVER give helpful answers to questions.

She is a really great professor and she is funny too which helps when the material is really tough and you just want to die. The class was really difficult for me but that is because calc 2 is not an easy class, if you actually do the problems that she does in class and work hard, then you can get a good grade. Could have gotten a B, but oh well.

Mrs. Tighe is a phenomenal professor. I had her for both Calc I and II and received A's in both. She has "print out lectures" that she provides, or you print them out and fill in as you go along in class. She has her old quizzes and exams online, so if you go to class, take good notes and study the old stuff, you'll have no issue getting an A.

Prof. Tighe is overall a great professor, as she goes through step by step explaining how to do problems. She can go through the notes a bit too quickly at times, but if someone asks she can slow down. The tests and quizzes can be difficult, but she provides plenty of practice exams and quizzes online to help. Discussion is also very helpful.

she is great to take her if you can, she is a bit difficult compared to other teachers but other teachers don't teach and she is a great teacher and she makes the final so if you are used to the other professor the final is gonna be hard

She might come off as tough but she is really caring and wants her student to walk away with BOTH knowledge and good grades. Most math professors here only care about grades and if you memorize their exams, you'd pass. Tighe is really focused on making you understand the materials. 100% recommend her!

You need to be willing to dedicate a HUGE amount of time to studying, but Tighe is absolutely the best option if you want to come away from this class with some real skills for a future in Math. The amount of practice problems she has from old exams and quizzes are nearly endless. GO TO PROF + TA OFFICE HOURS! Practice w/ feedback is the key!

Though she is a tough grader she prepares us well (along with the TAs). She has tons of previous quizzes and exams for students to practice and posts all the lecture notes. She is available outside of lecture and overall is great. You might have to get use to her personality though

Mrs. Tighe has been teaching mathematics for many many years. Her lectures are formated incredibly well, and she uploads her notes to BlackBoard. To get A's on her exams, practice exams from the semester she taught before (accessible on BB) because they are nearly identical to the test you will take.

Mrs. Tighe is a wonderful professor. I am not the greatest at Math and so calculus 1 was a little challenging. She gives out quizzes that she has used in previous years as practice. She also gives 10% curve on the tests. She is nice and if you go to lectures and do the work, you should pass her class.
