Reviews of professor Helena Tomko

I loved Dr. Tomko. The works she chose for Epiphanies of Beauty were so interesting. She really challenged me and helped me grow as a writer.

Professor Tomko is such an amazing professor and her quick humor and anecdotes makes discussions and readings memorable. She tells you that she grades more harsh than some other profs. might and even changes her grade scale to make up for it, but don't worry! She's very understanding, accessible, and wants all of her students to succeed!

So much reading, obviously because it is a writing seminar. There is a healthy amount of essay, but not too many and the prompts are not that difficult. If you consult her, participate in class, and have a good understanding of the readings (which are not hard) you well do well. She is so so nice and adorable. The essay's are not hard either.

This class requires you to write a lot but that makes sense given that this class is a writing seminar. On the essays, she's not a hard grader but not an easy one either. Prior to the essays being due, she has a writing prep day to help you know more about what she is looking for.

Simply amazing. She is really passionate about the materials, organizing all classes efficiently but also creating a chilling atmosphere. She also helps a lot with your papers and is open to share deeper thoughts on materials you plan to write paper about.

The readings were a lot, but definitely manageable. You have to submit 4 discussion boards by the end of the semester, which are not a lot. There are 3 papers and definitely utilize office hours. Participation . She is a really nice professor and tries to get to know you which is really nice.
