Reviews of professor Michael Thompson

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
If I could give this guy zero stars I would. My husband is taking his course and its literally ridiculous. This is an introductory English class. However it rivals the advanced English composition I took for my masters. He grades tougher than my professor did for my masters.I think he has forgotten this is an introductory course. Dont take him!!

This was my 1st college English class. Mr. Thompson was extremely tough on grading and will take points off on papers for things that were not taught in class. There is a text book for reference on certain papers, but you are not given specific learning activities for using the book. His style and mannerism are overkill for an introductory class.

The class was filled with essays and discussion boards, but there was feedback for any and all of the work in the class. The guidelines for the essays were fairly easy to understand but expect a lot of work when taking the class.

While he may seem scary at first, Mr. Thompson is a great teacher. His expectations are clear, and he is willing to help you with papers and assignments outside of class. He gives you the entire semester to work on your final exam which comes in two parts. While the workload isn't light, with proper time management, it is very doable.

Dr. Thompson has the lectures pre-recorded, so class time can be spent actually working through the practice problems & answering questions. The course is not terribly difficult, & can be passed with modest effort. He is very helpful & accommodating. Participation matters. Go to class. The homework/practice is very similar to the tests.

Got 54% on my first paper; his feedback was "we have work to do," and he did help me improve my writing. With a lot of work, as English is not my 1st language, I got an A. The feedback on the graded papers made it easy to understand mistakes and do better on the next. Always reachable by email. Lots of writing, but that is the purpose of the class.

I am not going to lie. He is one of the worst English teachers I have ever had. He is a know-it-all and not very helpful. He'll make it seem like he's there to help you, but if you send him emails he replies with smart comments. Personally, I would take Jerry lyles or another professor rather than him.
