I had an A in his class, and because I missed a couple of in class assignments I got an F in the class. He didn't respond to my emails. Worst professor ever.

Comment:

Almost all of the work is online, and they are INCREDIBLY easy to do. Easy 100's if you put in the effort and show up to class. Since his class is so large, he does not mind it when students get on their devices or do other homework in his class. I left with a 100+ in his class without ever studying because it was THAT easy. Highly recommend him.

Comment:

I took History 1301 and it was very challenging. He has lots of PowerPoints but goes over them the last 10-15 minutes of class. Light on homework, 4 exams, LOTS OF EXTRA CREDIT. His lectures are boring and he doesn't talk loud so I had trouble hearing him. Everyone in my class was on their electronic device and he does not say anything to them.

Comment:

I went to professor Thomas' class every day and did not think I was learning a thing until I took the STAAR exam and realized how much he taught me. He teaches in so much detail you do not even realize until you finish the class. He is also a great story teller. The tests are online and it is easy to get above a 100 if you put effort into it.

I took both HIST1301 and HIST1302 with Prof. Thomas. He is caring, understanding and treats everybody like an adult and with respect. He does not coddle you but is helpful when you ask him questions. He is extremely committed to you learning the material and applying it to real life, and not just reading a book to pass a test. Best professor ever!

Professor Thomas is a real Gem in teaching History 1301. It was a very easy course for me and I would definitely recommend him to others! Make sure you follow instructions and don't procrastinate. All the tests are easy and due dates are reasonable. Excellent Professor!

Professor Thomas is a real gem! I took him this past summer 1 online and I don't ever write reviews, but I found him to be very thoughtful. His class is not difficult, whatsoever. He responds to emails within 4-6 hours on average, he has very clear grading criteria, and there is tons of extra credit. The only con is buying the book for assignments.

All tests are online and the work is fairly easy but he picks and chooses with grades. Attendance is mandatory, and he does not give leeway for missing class, regardless of an emergency.

Professor Thomas was a really laid back but good History teacher. His tests are online and there are extra credit chances. I did not talk to him but I felt as though he would listen to me and assist me if I needed his help. I would definitely take him again.

Prof. Thomas is probably one of my favorite professors. You can go up to him and talk to him about anything and he'll try his best to be understanding. We did one group project and it was easy. All the exams were online. I'd recommend his class, he tries to keep it interesting. He does call on you to stand up and talk but it's not terrible.

Comment:

I took him as a Maymester class and honestly everything was so easy. You have to study for tests but they're all online. Gives a lot of extra credit and a lot of homework. Not hard at all. If I got a 100% in the class so can you. But be ready to study and prepare for exams. Although, homework helps you understand the concept.

I took professor Thomas for Hist 1302 online. It was a short class that started April 3rd and ended May 11th. We had 3 easy assignments ,exam, and a discussion board due every week. I did not use the text book other than to get the McGraw Hill passcode I needed in order to do the assignments and exams. There was a lot of extra credit. Easy class.

Comment:

Professor Curtis is a great teacher. The only issue I had was that he makes you work in groups every day. After group work, he randomly calls on you and you have to stand in front of everyone and give out your answer to his questions. You aren't allowed to sit down until he's satisfied. Other than that, he's great. Online test and final. Show up.
