Comment:

One of my favourite professors at Mac. Lectures don't always stick to the topic, but go into really interesting territory. Not hard marker in my experience, really wants to get to know his students. Guidelines aren't super strict, wants you to think for yourself. If you like that kind of style, you'll love this prof.

Comment:

Can be a little boring with his lectures but has a WEALTH of knowledge that should be appreciated by his students. Amazing professor and the sweetest and smartest man you will meet. Makes the effort to get to know his students and remember them through the years. Typically an easy marker as well.

He is a nice prof but gets distracted too easily. He goes on tangents way too much. He's not very articulate either.

Comment:

INCREDIBLY boring. The material had SO much potential, but this guy butchered it. Beware when he goes on tangents about people he knows, he'll ramble for god knows how long. Doesn't want to let you leave early, he'll talk about useless stuff.

Comment:

Interesting enough course, however Dr. Thomas is the most dry and boring lecturer! He really knows his stuff though. Easy exam which he gave us ahead of time and allowed us to bring our courseware into.

He was soo boring, I slept through most of his lectures. His writing is engaging and clear, so I learned from the courseware mostly, while his lectures never failed to put me to sleep.
