(BA Program 5 STARS)
As someone who has been attending Tyndale for almost 8 years, I would like to say that my experience has been perfect in every way. Although this is true for my time in the BA program, my adventures, during the MDiv program, have been less than adequate. In the BA program, I witnessed constant professionalism with the Professors, their outlines, as well as how helpful each staff member had been with any issues that occurred. It was a truly positive a uplifting as well as an educational time and I wouldn't change it for the world.
(Seminary MDiv Program 2 STARS)
That being said, the Seminary standard for professionalism has been rather deplorable. More than 60% of my Professors do not have adequate explanations for their assignments, due dates, or percentages for many of their projects. (IE: many assignments had minimal explanation, many had no due dates, some had no percentage worth, and many did not have a marking rubric available). Some of my courses even had improper course timings displayed on their syllabus. Even though the syllabus would say it was in the evening, the course was switched to mornings after courses selections were already made. Furthermore, some of my professors had us do assignments based on material that had not yet be taught in the classroom. One even admitted that he couldn't teach everything we needed due to "time restraints", but we were still expected to complete the assignment with the same level of expectation. Finally, my professors often missed our meetings, which they assigned, because they "forgot". I highly suggest that Tyndale's Seminary standards improve significantly before the damage to their reputation becomes irreversible.
Normally, I wouldn't post such a negative review as these matters have been addressed before last winter semester; however, it has remained a constant problem not only for myself, but my peers in the current summer courses. As my mom said, "an apology only means something if you plan to change your ways". Unless Tyndale Seminary improves it's standard of "excellence", my review will remain unchanged.
