Comment:
She is a brilliant teacher and is very nice. Even though her course is hard, it's hard for the right reasons. She doesn't make learning harder, she challenges you to be better. And it's more than clear that she cares about her students. Pick her if you want to learn as much as you can, as fast as you can, and are not afraid of a challenge.

Dr. Tan is a gem. She is the best balance of tough, fair, smart, clear, and helpful when it comes to her teaching style. You better be prepared to work your ass off in her classes but rest assured, it is well worth it. She is simply amazing.

Tan really cares about her seminar kids, and gives great feedback on essays. She's not easy professor, but her class was just challenging, not impossible. Her devotion and work ethic are unparallelled. Her knowledge and enthusiasm are inspiring. Dr. Tan is an excellent professor.

Very nice and delightful. Operates at extremes when it comes to clarity (some assignments/concepts will be very clear, others won't at all). Sincerity of compliments seems... contrived.

I have taken Dvlpmtl and Music Psych. Her passion is contagious. The work is challenging but rewarding. She loves discussion and class input. One gets very behind if not attending class. Great classes--sparked a continued interest in both subjects!

A pretty fantastic professor, and good class. Didn't really like kids beforehand, but gave me a greater appreciation for complexity. The woodward project is amazing, and really fun.

Good professor, but a little obsessed with herself. We'd hear about how great her assignments and methods were on a daily basis. Not hard, per se, but a lot of work. Her accent is cool.

Dr. Tan is another caring professor. She loves her work and wants her students to love it, as well. The clarity of her tests leaves something to be desired, though. Her lectures, however, are very clear and engaging.
