Student reviews

Professor Tames is generally arrogant and condescending towards his students. His snarky feedback and replies online and in-person were extremely frustrating and made me dread attending his class. He grades on a complete/incomplete scale based on strange minutiae and his feelings on the student's creative choices. Do not recommend.2380 2025-12-04 01:53:00 +0000 UTC

I don't like the way he acts towards students, and he isn't helpful when answering questions.3480 2024-10-28 19:27:54 +0000 UTC
