Comment:
Tarnawski'isms are legendary among engineering students. Yes, he's a tough professor, where you can plea and laze your way through many of the other courses, he will make you work for this one. He is there for help, so take advantage of that. He loves to hear that you are interested in taking on the challenge and if you show interest, he'll hire yo

Awesome teacher. He gives you a really good appreciation what the engineering field is all about...Hard work, long hours, the importance of time management. Go see him and you'll learn a lot. ask questions, show interest and for God sakes, keep your texting device at bay and show up in time in class...All the stuff you should do anyway!

Comment:
He seems mean and strict but he is actually a very nice and caring person. Yes I admit it was so much work but somehow understandable. He once said "those who wants to leak in the system, they will hate me, no-what,it's ok. I don't care. sorry. I have my principles" (exact quotation). I learned so much in his course and also had fun. The best ever.

Comment:
Yes, this is a hard teacher. Yes, he expected a lot from you. Yes, his projects require an outrageous amount of work from you. BUT, he is not overly extreme by any means. You do the work, put in effort, and he sees this, you'll get a good mark. Despite his thick accent, he is very helpful and wants to see you do well.

Best professor at SMU by far! Really cares about the students as individuals. Loves what he is doing and is passionate about the engineering. If you care about engineering and want to learn as much as possible, you'll love this guy. If you don't care, and want to get though university by doing as little work as possible you'll hate him. A++ Prof!

This guy cannot speak english. He wants to make your life a living h*ll. There is no time for free time, or family or other classes, if you take design 2 with tarnawski. Making me regret my life choice as an engineer. Take at DAL, in the summer, or take a different specialization to avoid this menace.

He is for sure the worst professor that anyone can have. All what he teaches is useless. He does not explain well and his assignments and exams are no where close to what he covered in class.

Comment:
This prof is near impossible to understand through his Polish accent(and i spent 4 months in the country) despite being in Canada for like 20 some years . Otherwise the work isn't too hard but the class is boring and he's crabby most of the time. I basically learned how to print square letters.
