Reviews of professor Thomas Chan

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
One of the best professors I have ever taken.  He is passionate about the topic and it shows.  He makes lectures interesting and enjoyable.  He truly cares for his students and for everyone's success, is easy to reach outside of class, and is hilarious.  Pretty easy class.  I could not recommend Dr. Chan enough!  Please take his class!

He's a good professor, his assignments weren't difficult and his tests weren't bad either. He just seems very disorganized and I never really liked his lectures. I took him online and you really have to be present in class, so participation really does matter. Other than that he's a good option for this course.

Professor Chan is a relatable professor that knows the type of students he is reaching. The homework may feel like it's too much, but every short assignment really adds momentum to what is discussed in class that day. This semester, the midterm and final were a group effort between all students, which was really nice and I am glad I took the class!

Whoever is complaining here is just lazy. Yes! you have assignments, but its like 2 sentence answers. He gives great lectures, gives the book for free, and he's funny. For the midterm, say you want a test don't do the project. You have one midterm, one term paper, one final and weekly assignments that you can finish in 15 minutes. HI PROFESSOR!

I took this over winter and probably will never take another winter class because of him. We had way too many assignments 30+ a week. The term paper was graded too strictly. He gives extra credit. Im sure hes a lot better during a regular semester bc we had all the same assignments but Im such a short period of time. Take him but gg

Reading the course description for PSY 365, I was EXCITED. However, after viewing the syllabus & beginning the course, I'm no longer excited ): Yes, gerontology is a great subject but be aware, with Chan you will literally get a semester's worth of work (in a typical class) every 2-3 days. Way too many assignments. Highly recommend avoiding Chan.
