Tom is spectacular. He is so funny, so sweet, and so smart. He is a weird guy, but he is so willing to help you. Go in and talk to him, and he will give you great advice. He has been at CC for so long, so he knows everything their is to know about anything. I learned an incredible amount of material from Tom, and I am so grateful for him.

I LOVE Tom!!! He was my first professor and absolutely awesome. He's so so willing to spend hours (literally) with you answering questions or going over papers. He does expect a lot from his students, but will definitely help you through it if you ask. He's so passionate, enthusiastic, and never boring. I learned a lot and grew as a writer.

Tom was awesome - so smart and really knew how to challenge us to think critically about the plays we were reading and their connections to history and philosophy so we could "go further" and "clinch it." Plus, he brought us Wooglins muffins...

Comment:

Tom is brilliant & uses his vast knowledge to put every work of theatre studied in his classes into its specific cultural & historical context. He gives a variety of assignments, pushing his students to think about theatre not just analytically, but also practically & artistically. A tip: check out Aristotle & Plato before taking a class with Tom.

A brilliant and wonderful teacher. His passion is infectious. He ties his knowledge of philosphy seamlessly into the class. Slackers beware!

Expects immaculate writing. Extremely smart, but pretty taxing.

Comment:

Tom Lindblade was one of the best teachers I have ever had, hands down. He motivates and inspires and is, in general, a total genius. It's been a while since I took one of his classes, but he was absolutely one of the best. I highly reccommend him to anyone who is interested in learning and can think. Total morons need not apply.

Tom may be many things, but average is not one of them. You may love or hate him, but I find him extremely passionate about what he does, bright, and dedicated to anyone who puts forth the effort. He takes himself and his students very seriously.

Tom is a fantastic teacher! He is very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and helpful. He is always ready to give students office time. Anyone who says otherwise just didn't respond well to his no-nonsense attitude. Tom isn't about to let anyone fly through any of his classes. You have to work hard for your grade. . . I know. . . new concept at CC.

The most pretensious professor I have ever had. Completely full of himself and apparently for no good reason - he's small-time.

Doesn't know the first thing about Chekhov, but I like how his classes start at 9:30 instead of 9.
