You HAVE to do the readings. This is not your average bird course that is a fun elective. You have to work for it but she is fair.

Comment:

Angela is nice, knowledgeable and clear in outlining what you need to know. There is only a multiple choice/TF midterm and exam, but it would be easy to do poorly if you didn't do all the readings, watch all the lectures and take good notes. The class is a fair amount of work, so make sure you take time to do everything she says for a solid A.

Comment:

This is the most interest course that I have ever taken in my University career. The course itself is not hard - you just have to pay attention to the in-class lectures and read the textbook attentively. If you have some religion knowledge, you should find the course relatively easy. Its a very good interesting elective.

Comment:

Lecture and textbook heavy. This is NOT a bird course. The exams and MC and they will test your memory. If you want even an A, you will have to read and digest every little fact. Do your readings from the text, lecture slides and online ARES material and make as many notes as possible in class - bring a laptop.

Comment:

Angela is a great professor. I found every one of her lessons engaging. The exam was entirely based on what she had taught - you can easily score in the 90's if you just listen and take notes. Those who find the class difficult are people who have trouble with lecture style lessons/ verbal learning in gneral. Loved both classes I took with her.

Comment:

Took Death & Afterlife because I was interested in the subject matter, and it was interesting! But I feel Prof Sumegi could have taught and evaluated it better. Lectures were almost entirely based off the textbook (that she herself wrote), instructions on midtermexam content could have been much clearer, evaluation was just the midterm and exam.

Comment:

THE WORST PROFESSOR EVER!!! lectures are interesting but the midterm and final is horrible!! Information does not relate to the lecture or textbook. The class average is within the 40s, avoid this class if you can. It might seem like a bird course but it is my lowest grade in university so far!!!

Professor Sumegi is an excellent (and funny) lecturer. She has a great amount of knowledge on the subject and it really shows. Altogether fascinating class, well presented.

Dr. Sumegi is adorable and hilarious. Her class on Buddhism was my absolute favorite course and I looked forward to her lectures every week. I would absolutely take a course with her again. If you are interested in the material and show up to lectures, you will do really really well.

Comment:

took religion, death and afterlife with her. Some material was interesting. She is a nice lady but I find her boring& go off on tangents. Wording on exams can be off & uncomprehending- class avg was low and she had to add bonus marks so i guess that says it about her exams

Comment:

I took her Buddhism class and it was OK. She goes off on tangents and laughs at her own jokes (which is cute, but not helpful). You pretty much have to learn a new language because her exams are based off of Buddhist vocabulary. But she does tell you what's on the exam, so you can prepare (but there's ALOT covered in exams).

Comment:

Both knowledgeable and passionate. Has an extremely endearing personality and punctuates her lectures with cute stories from her life. Unfortunately, the midterm was unfairly difficult and based on small details from the readings. The exam was very fair. I would strongly recommend a course with her for the entertainment factor at the very least.

AVOID LIKE PLAGUE!!! I took this course because it sounded like a compelling bird course but it ended up being my lowest mark thus far! Very interesting material but exams are merely impossible. Class average was 65%. Terrible outcome. AVOID!

A very nice survey course and a knowledgeable and intelligent prof. this year she published her textbook and not only is it a very good read, it's a also a good guide on what to study on the Exam. Recommend it as a bird course.

Prof. Sumegi is an awesome, and super helpful prof. Although she may wander off topic, she's incredibly fair and an overall great lecturer.
