Comment:

An unreal combination of brains and beauty. Her passion for her field is obvious and infectious. While her standards are high, they are not unwarranted.

Comment:

I liked Dr. Tumasz a lot. Not so keen on the 377 class itself. Unfortunately it's required for religion majors. She was very helpful. Do go to her after block week with any issues you may have with your paper. She is very helpful in that respect.

Comment:

Dr. Tumasz is a great person; however, this course is a waste of time. TA and prof. had extremely conflicting opinions. The afternoon session was dull. Hard to stay focused. Very frustrating that this course is required for RELS majors and didn't learn much

Comment:

Horrible! There was no direction throughout the course! no communication between the TA and Tumasz! Unfair marking! CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is not in Tumasz's vocabularty. There was not one positive statement written on my paper, which was a great dissappointment considering it was marked highly by the TA.

Comment:

wow. avoid taking her class at all costs, she is a slow and unfair marker at best. she made our class do all this post block week work that just completely got in the way of regular classes and then when we asked about it she admitted it wasn't important, methodological essays werent used that often so basically we did all this work for nothing.

Comment:

Dr. Tumasz is amazing. This is the first class where research paper writing was a key focus. It has been awesome and I was a good writer to begin with. This class is not easy but everyone should take it, Im sure the rest of your grades will improve for the learning you get. I think shes one of the best profs in the rels dept. Shes utterly awesome!

Comment:

She is one amazing prof - a tough marker but the best profs aren't gratuitous with their marks. She challenges you to think theology through and she allows for deviation from her plan in order to accommodate student inquiries in class. She gets an A+!.
