Comment:

Seth is great! The people on here complaining about him are really just complaining about their own lack of effort. The class was not easy, but the subject is not easy. People need to get a grip, you or your parents are paying for you to get an education... get one!

Seth Thompson,hmm Where shall I start? ok it's like this, if you do your work and listen closely and laugh at his jokes, there is a possibility you will wind up with a B plus in his class. He's very interesting to say the least. Take him if you're up to a challenge and like thinking like a philosopher and like talking about the middle east, he LOVE

When you get the study guides, you will not know whether to laugh or cry. Personally I did both. I think he lost his marbles a long time ago.

Very unclear. Tough grader. Extremely nitpicky. Not a bad guy personally, and sometimes he's funny. Class is not impossibly difficult, but definitely the hardest I've taken at LMU. Take notes besides what he puts on the powerpoint!

He is by far the worst professor I have ever had. After talking to other LMU students I came to learn that he is the most bashed professor on campus. Stay away from Seth Thompson!

Comment:

He's funny, but hard. Try to get those papers in his office before they're due so he could revise them at least once. Believe me, he holds that against u! He gave me my worst grade in all of the polisci classes I took: b- .

Comment:

I'm a big fan of Seth. I think the methods that he teaches you in how to present your argument are perhaps the best lesson you can get from him. Other than that he knows his information very well and clarifies it magnificently. And He appreciates good beer.

Comment:

One of his "global politics" classes, highest level. Difficult to say the least. A lot of kids will have a hard time taking away something from this class. But keep your books, listen closely; Doc knows what he's talking about.

Comment:

Although final paper is hard, in order to get a good grade, all a student needs to do is tall to him and make sure that you follow his rules. The tests are easy as long as you take good notes on the power point presentations. Not as scary as people believe.

HE SUCKS. Worst class yet. He teaches nothing, mumbles for an hour and 15 minutes. I have learned nothing. If you want your money's worth, go elsewhere, not through Hell with Thompson.

most unclear professor ever to work at LMU. He is boring, he makes no sense, he grades hard, and plays favorites. I'd avoid it like the plague if I could do it again

Learn little, work a lot. Group work sucks, the grades are incredibly hard. He makes no sense, people fall asleep, his voice rises at odd times but that's just funny. Seriously, I'd avoid if you can. Take Finkel for knowledge on the world, not Thompson

He is a brilliant professor. Gives great lectures and is extremely helpful out of class as well. Expect to walk away with a more developed mind.
