Comment:
Tests are the majority of your grade, but she did make attendance and a few little busy work assignments part of the grade which really helped. I really didn't learn much from the lectures, most of the material she tested on was from the text not her lectures. I worked really hard for this C and I averaged an A in all of my classes last semester.

A teach yourself class through reading the entire textbook. She gives hard tests and is very picky on the answers.

She's really weird but in a funny way. tests can be really hard though- she'll test you on stuff she barely mentioned in class. Very sweet and helpful though if you ask for help. But you gotta ask for it.

Comment:
Dr. Thompson was my I.S. adviser and I loved every minute of it! I came into I.S. with pretty clear plan but an unusual and very ambitious project and she was totally supportive. She is very caring and answers emails faster than any other professor I know. She can be blunt and a bit tough, but, a great adviser! (Obviously, no textbooks for I.S.)

She is not organized during class and seems to forget about the time. Almost every day we are 5 minutes late. Super enthusiastic about her subject and very knowledgeable.

Very unorganized and inconsistent. Class seemed like a waste of my time. Most people dropped the class, and I regret not doing so as well.

If she's teaching a class, buy the book they're using and read it-- you'll learn exactly what she's gonna teach. Don't bother taking the class. Friendly and nice, but bored me to tears and tends to ramble.

Comment:
Unbelievable (and I mean that in a bad way). All the lectures are, as many people agree, are straight out of the text. Mandatory study guides every week make it feel like a high school class followed by tests with poor results from the entire class. She really needs to try to make the class interesting and at least pretend to enjoy teaching.

Comment:
Terrible! Lectures are right out of the textbook. Chapter outlines are required every week. First exam mean...67. Have had classes where you eat smores or talk about Michael Jackson instead of doing work. Which isn't bad except the amount of work outside of class (chapter outlines) is absurd.

Teaches almost straight out of the textbook so it's boring. Mandatory study guides which she seems to have little to no system on grading for (ex. I turned in a 6 page studyguide and got a 12/15 while the kid next to me turned in less than a full page and got 15/15) She knows her stuff but I'm not taking another class from her.

She really knows what she's talking about, but is not arrogant and is extremely approachable. Dr. Thompson wants every one of her students to succeed. I agree with the last post, she's a great mentor.

If you are looking for a teacher to spoon feed you material, then take someone else, but if you want to challenge yourself and learn a lot then take her class. She is a great advisor and if you listen in class and advising appointments, you'll learn more than ever about the topic and for GREs. She knows her stuff.

Terrible Professor. Wasn't very much help. She lectured on things that didn't pertain to the class. Not helpful at all, most boring class I ever took. VERY HARD TESTS

I've never had a professor care so much about good psychology and ME at the same time. She is the most special person outside of my family I have ever met.

Bores me to tears, knows her stuff but isn't particularly good at conveying it to a class. Boring paper topics, difficult tests.
