He is the man. Great to talk to, always helpful, the only complaint I had that the mid term was incredibly hard. But he's the head of the department so its good to get to know him. Liked him alot.

Comment:

Dr. TePaske is by far my favorite professor at Framingham. I am a graduating senior and have had a lot of professors here but none are remotely as caring and kind as TePaske. I would suggest that anyone take his class at any time if you possibly can. He is the only teacher that makes me want to keep in touch when I graduate. Genuinely great guy.

He is a great person and good teacher. Really easy. Because he is easy everyone gets similar grades, even though some are doing a lot more work than others. Class is interesting most days, attendance is definitely suggested, he will notice if your absent.

Comment:

thoughtful, interesting, corny humor like about his ties, a bit self-absorbed and way too focused on old school media examples from long ago, but overall a friendly old guy whos willing to listen and he's easy and not crazy like half the comm profs!

Dr TePaske is the LeBron James of teaching. All kidding aside, he's everything you would want in a professor. Very smart and insightful and his humor is impeccable. He is very helpful and understanding and its always an adventure to see what tie he will (bravely) wear the next class. Take him if you loathe comm classes, you wont afterward.

Comment:

Great professor, very smart, but very biased in discussions. Every single reading, discussion and film we watched had a liberal slant. I appreciate such an intelligent professor's opinions and perspective, but would have liked to have had at least one balanced discussion.

i'm still oozing with jealousy of his kick ass Indiana Jones hat. i have looked high and low but have not found a replica thus far. as for the man, the myth and the legend.. he lets you be creative with asisgnments (especially the debates...)

Comment:

TePaske is a great professor. He intimidated me when i first met him, but as i got to know him better he became one of my favorite professors. He is so articulate and has a wonderful sense of humor. He makes the class go so smoothly. One problem is that he should let our class out early on some days

Comment:

I think that Dr.TePaske is a cool dude.I love his dry humor,right up my alley. He's very intelligent in an array of areas,which I think can make him hard to follow at times,but I enjoy how he really listens to what I have to say and respects my voice
