Comment:

I took this professor for philosophy and loved his connections with the material to his daughter and family. He gave plenty of examples to explain each point and if you weren't sure about something, he would clarify well if you asked. I RARELY had to take notes because he kept it interesting and the info just soaked in with his style of lecturing.

Comment:

Had Mr. Thompson for Philosophy. He is a great teacher, and the class is relatively easy. You do have to study for tests, though. His lectures are pretty dry, but he's willing to help with any question you may have.

I looked forward to his class. He is very knowledgeable and uses stories and lists to help remember the information. He obviously loves teaching and tries to help his students. You don't need to read the book much, just take a lot of notes and it is real easy.

One assignment a week, only four tests and one paper/presentation. Notes are directly related to tests, so take good ones. Fair teacher and pretty funny.

Comment:

If you've taken any kind of Government class before, definitely take him. Lectures the entire time, and laughs to break up the silence. If you understand how the basics of government works, shouldn't be hard to get an A. Pretty easy class and gives a list of what to study for.

He is really boring to listen to, he lectures the whole class with no powerpoint or any sort of visual simulation. His test are hard unless you study your butt off and take amazing notes.

Comment:

Lecture was the main source. Took lots of notes, and they helped more than the book on tests. Reading Reactions were required (very easy). If you did them, they kept your grade steady even if you didn't do amazing on a test. He knows his material very well, and tries to help you understand. Tests were hard, but if you studied you did well.

Comment:

This teacher is very interesting and can be quite opinionated but in a humorous way. You can tell he loves teaching philosophy and he makes it interesting. No homework other than reading reactions and only a few tests. The tests were easy if you paid attention to his lectures, he doesn't use the book too much for tests. LOVED IT! Fantastic teacher!

Awesome teacher!! Tests are mainly from lecture. Reading reactions to current chapter boosts grade. Tests are a little difficult, but he does give a study guide. He really knows what he's talking about and is easy to listen to. I would definately recommend him!

Very funny and intelligent man. He loves to teach and it shows in the class. In his philosophy class, he had enough assignments to boost your grade in case you did poorly on a test. Fun class and learned alot.

Amazing lecturer! All exams are given from lecture with maybe a question or two that could be found in the textbook. Be prepared for a midterm paper as well. You must be present to take notes. He is very good about pausing throughout his lecture to allow you to finish writing notes. Highly recommend taking this class and any other from Dr. T.

Comment:

His class is not an easy one, but he does make it interesting. He knows what he's talking about. You MUST attend class as his tests come directly from his lectures which cover about 5 chapters at a time. He does offer a few extra credit options - do them! Would take him again, his class was challenging, but interesting.

Comment:

He is a wonderful teacher! His tests are purely taken from his notes. You should show up to class, take notes, and study. You'll get an A if you do those things. Barely has assignments and just a few essay questions. Took him for another course I liked him so much! He knows his stuff and his funny!

I loved listening to his lectures, but you must study for the tests. He only takes 4 grades all semester. He only gives 2 extra credit chances and they aren't worth very much.

Comment:

Extremely detailed lectures that are interesting to listen to, but best bring a recorder since he covers a ton of information. The book is nearly useless in his class, which I prefer since he really gives a ton of good information in his lectures. Overall, great teacher, but you will have to study for his tests.

He is an amazingly intelligent man! He knows his stuff and actually enjoys teaching. Taking notes is a must since his tests are purely from lecture. I passed the class with ease even though essay questions were new to me. People that didn't do well were the ones that didn't do anything. The homework was just completion grade!

Comment:

I like this professor. He is enthusiastic about what he teaches, so that makes it easier to pay attention. We had 3 tests, and also a presentation that we had to give. I thought it was all easy. As long as you study for the tests, you'll do fine. There really isn't a review for the tests though.
