Toska is a lot of fun to have in class. Pay attention. I took her class in 2014 and learned an incredible amount from her. She is a woman that earns her students' respect. Her evaluations are fair, and she goes the extra mile for her students. I would definitely say that she is a must-have professor on your TESC journey.

Comment:

Toska is the best professor I have ever had. She is passionate and knowledgeable, without any negativity. She welcomes outside opinions and can engage in debate without belittling the student. She genuinely cares about your well-being. She expects class to be your #1 priority, but is not unreasonable. I hope to have her for a professor again.

Toska is awesome. I was in cohort with her class and decided to switch into it after a few of her presentations. She's very clear and intelligent, and she is always considerate of people's feelings. She has a great sense of humor!

If you happen to have Toska as a proffesor, program leader, or independent contract sponser consider yourself lucky! Toska is a great faculty member to work with. Toska can be kind of hard to read personality wise but once you get to know her you'll find that she's a great asset to one's learning carreer at TESC

She is smart and funny, overall amazing. Will push you to work hard but is willing to work with you to help you succeed. I learned SO much from her. I feel lucky to have had her as my first professor. Setting the bar high.

She seems nervous speaking in lecture, but really knows her stuff and gives you good information. Not everyone understands her humor, but I think she's pretty funny.

She was a very interesting teacher, and had some great points to make. She is rather nit picky and doesn't write the best evals, but she's easily one of the best at teaching gender/sexuality issues.

Part of my "dream team" of profs who challenged my mind & streched my abilities. Toska is brilliant, funny, and will always help you remember that your best work is around the corner. She is fair and professional. A sweetheart with killer sense of humor. Made seminars real learning. did not allow them to disolve into BS.

I worked my butt off in this class, had a great time and was encouraged/supported. I'm sad she was my last faculty at TESC, would have been much better to start with. She makes seminar useful (as opposed to the usual bull session).

Toska was the most helpful of all of my faculty in this program. She seemed to actually know what she was talking about in class. I would recommend Toska to anyone who is willing to actually do some work.

Interesting teacher. Expects a lot and if can devote your entire life to her class you will do well. Very good about challenging student's perceptions. Take her only if you can devote a lot of time to the class.
