Absolutely LOVED Thompson! Very direct and upfront. Not there to make this a super hard course and is there for you if you're putting in the effort.

Comment:

Kerr Thompson was my adviser for my Spanish major - he is amazing! Encouraged me to pursue study abroad and develop my Spanish. He has seriously influenced my life path, and I do now know what I'd be doing now if he hadn't encouraged me so much! Take his class seriously and do the work, b/c he won't accept less. But he is incredible!

He is one of the best professors I have ever had. He is super clear, and incredibly nice. It is not the hardest or most demanding class in the world, but you learn a ton. Overall he is a great guy, and anyone would be lucky to have him ad a professor.

Comment:

A great guy, but you do need to work. If you slack, your grade will reflect it. He has no sympathy for students who aren't dedicated, and he isn't always 100% fair to those who happen to miss his directions. I learned a lot from him.

Comment:

He speaks slowly, clearly, and loudly. His class can be a little boring at times, but I get the impression that he might be a nice guy. But, the great thing is that we watched movies all semester.

AWFUL professor. he does not care about the students in his class. He also assigns a lot of hw. If you are struggling with his class, do not go to him, go to another professor in the spanish department, or a rock... that might be more helpful!

Comment:

He is the professor that made me love Spanish more than I thought possible. Extremely helpful, fair, organized, dedicated, and loves his job. Definitely difficult classes that require dedication, but you will probably learn more from his classes than from almost any other professor. People only dislike him b/c he makes you earn your grade.

Kerr Thompson is what college is all about. If you came here to get **** and laid, this class is going to give you a lot of trouble. Do the reading. Contribute in class. Edit your papers. Skip the frat parties and learn somthing. If you don´t do the reading it´s obvious. If you don´t like him, it´s probably cause you didn´t do jack all semester.

Even though I hate spanish, this teacher is one who cares about his students! If he sees that you are weak in the material or need assistance, he is always there. Cool to talk to out of the classroom too.

A cool teacher who cares about the well-being of his students. Awesome advisor who isn't afraid to talk about anything with his advisees. And get him to say "thirty" in Spanish, the accent's priceless.

Comment:

He honestly thinks that it's the only class you're taking and just shouts out work on blackboard at the end of class. Only take him if you're seriously majoring in Spanish or it's a waste of your time cause you'll kill your other grades struggling to get by. Ewww!
