Reviews of professor Amelia Duffy-Tumasz

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Very sweet, Disney princess type of vibe. Obviously a very caring and impassioned woman, but that passion does not translate to me through her lectures, which are dense and easy to zone out during. Lots of work, reasonably graded, but pretty demanding for a gened.

Amelia was a great professor to have my last few semesters of undergrad. Her courses are very work intensive, but she consistently grades and gives feedback on all the work you complete. I learned so much in her classes. Lectures were always interesting, discussion-based, and she made the virtual classroom environment comfortable and accessible.

great prof; it's clear she loves what she teaches! but, she gives a lot of work 4 a GenEd. if it's not a test week, there's a weekly discussion board n or paper (400-600); 3 tests, abt 5 papers. offers extra cred! overall, take this class if ure passionate abt the environment, u will learn a lot! if not, find another class that is less work

super sweet professor. she's often very passionate about sustainability so dont get weirded out if she seems overly excited about it. it taught me so much interesting things about the climate crisis and the work isnt too bad!  usually its a weekly discussion board, assignment, and then there's only 3 exams. take her if you need a science gened!

Unlike other writing intensive courses in GBST and the other capstones offered by GBST professors, she does not let you continue to revise your work for a new grade nor will she even give feedback more than once. For a capstone class/paper this is really disappointing. Seemed like she was overwhelmed and not knowledgeable enough at times

She is a nice person but this class is way too much work for a gen ed. Every week there are 3 readings and a discussion board post due along with replies. There are 5 assignments which are all a few pages long and 3 exams. It's not terribly hard but there are definitely easier gen eds.

So boring and when it comes to her lectures, I sometimes hope the negative things persist just so that she has no saving of an environment to "teach" about. You read one article in the first week and write four excessive writing assignments on it for months that are a huge part of your grade. Tests have subjective open-ended answers.
