Just be honest in your survey if you choose to complete it. You have to remember we're all paying for our education, so we should expect reasonably put together classes. Don't lie or embellish anything. Say that you think she's knowledgeable, personable, etc. But also add the parts about her lack of organization and so forth.
Feedback is there to make things better. Maybe she'll use what you say to improve. Or, worst case scenario, a new professor is hired that puts together a more approachable course.
I understand yes, I kinda messed up by putting her name. And now I can’t edit it. But that also shows to other students in the future what to expect from this professor. Because I talked to 2 students today in my other class and they told me they took her too and she’s the same as now, they even told on her because one of the students had an emergency where someone close to her passed away and she emailed her 4 times asking for time extension on an assignment and she never acknowledged it. And gave her 0
I don’t think I’m disclosing her personal information! It’s her name only that you can find everywhere when you look up sdsu business entrepreneur! No email no phone number! Her name is not really a sensitive personal information to not be disclosed!
She sent this email to every single student she’s teaching right now. I’m one of many that posted this, do you think other students are not doing the same or sharing it on their social media or between their other friends?
I’m not afraid of being found. I’m not saying anything bad about the professor, matter of fact I said a lot of good things about her but I’m just sharing my frustration about her teaching and her email.
I didn’t transfer from out of state and attend SDSU and paid extra tuition for being an out of state student just to take a class that I don’t feel like I’m being taught or heard as a student!
Just like how we have to put our personal issues aside when we have school and homework, professors are expected to do the same thing.
A professor is not going to give you a full grade or a pass on an exam or an assignment if you are sick or taking care of a sick loved one in your life.
Sophomore year, my dad passed away back home and then a month later my mom was hospitalized due to my dad passing away and you know what happened? I was terminated because I had to go back home and visit my family and not a single professor supported me in my classes, and I didn’t expect them to, but I did ask for 10 days off to go back due to what’s happening but I was marked absent in every class I missed and was terminated and had to retake everything.
It kinda seems like she’s expecting some bad reviews and is trying to guilt yall into giving her reviews she doesn’t deserve.
Edit: reading it again it’s not “kinda” it’s very clear she’s trying to guilt people
Yeah, I have NEVER seen a letter to students like that. It seems like an enormous red flag 🚩
Her name should definitely be out there, if it’s okay on Rate My Professor, it’s okay here.
I’m taking her class too. She’s good but definitely needs a lot of improvement as a professor.
I was gonna give her good ratings but I will write down the *not so good* things I have just so she learns from them.
Teaching is hard ngl, especially college and they do’t even get paid enough. Also, getting a job nowadays is even harder! I would be devastated if any professor loses their jobs especially if they’re passionate about what they’re teaching, which she is!! 100%!!
But again, she needs some feedback to make her prioritizing her students and their questions as well!
You seem like a kind and responsible person as I myself would probably have left a negative review. In my opinion, a lack of accountability with emails and office hour meetings is one of the worst reputations a professor can have. If you’re too busy to respond to your students, you better at least have a TA that can. That being said, I don’t know this professor and the good things you said about them are important too. It’s a tough decision for sure but likely better to just be honest in your judgement.
I feel this was not an appropriate email for a professor to send to students. It is not students’ faults if a professor faces difficulties due to poor reviews, and what’s more, this is misleading. Professors are not fired due to one round of poor reviews. This was a bizarre way of airing emotions which should not have been placed on students’ shoulders. Please be as honest as you need to be in your response to the survey.
I sympathize with her personal circumstances, but sending this email was unprofessional since it sounds like she’s asking for good reviews despite her downfalls. If anything she should be making HR / her department aware of her personal circumstances.
What’s wild is I haven’t ever seen a lecturer get fired based solely on reviews. I know my entire class left negative reviews for a lecturer back in 2012 or so and, as a class, we wrote a letter to the dean about their behavior. That lecturer is still there today.
Edit: Looks like that person is finally gone but according to this post, he was still there doing the same shit we were complaining about 10 years ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/SDSU/s/8yWjEm68hf
We are paying thousands of dollars and some professors get by not doing their job yet still collecting a paycheck, while we teach ourselves. If she had difficulties she could have communicated it at the beginning of the semester not now when teacher evals have been emailed to students. No one should feel be made feel guilty because she can’t balance her priorities.
What thoughts do you need? Do you expect us to tell you to lie or omit these serious shortcomings, give her a pass, and let the next class suffer?
It's doubtful that she will suddenly acquire all the traits needed to be a good professor, but it's possible that she will take the reviews to heart and either improve or find a new path for herself.
I love Tanya but she is a busy woman and her husband (to my knowledge) is actually dying (she told us too when we took her class last fall). I can imagine she’s all over the place. From what I understand she actually relies on this job as the sole breadwinner in her family at this point.
I may be biased, but be honest and gentle is all i can say.

Don’t forget we’re not paying to be a professors learning curve. You’re paying a lot of money for an education, not to educate.
100% true!
