Reviews of professor Nicholas Thomas

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Don't take him. Classes are just discussions based on the weekly readings. He never gave clear instructions for the final paper and graded it so hard. I really don't know how he expected us to learn anything when he never actually taught.

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Overall he was a good person, but not so much instructor. Took long to grade papers and rarely answered emails. If you do end up taking him, you won't do much in class but expect homework outside of class. 4 speeches (Graded heavily) in the entire semester. Learned a lot but also kind of "suffered".

If you want to know what to do for your assignments don't take this class. ALL assignments have no rubric or instructions on canvas. Teaching is class discussion heavy. Only two absences allowed before it affects your grade. Doesn't grade for months. If you can deal with the frustration of this class though he is an easy grader.

Nicholas is an awesome professor! Attendance and participation are highly recommended. There is a paper due once a week and discussions in every class. This class will go by easily as long as you keep up with the work which is not very much. I looked forward to our class discussions every Monday and Wednesday!

With Nicholas, you have to be willing to participate or at least learn how to. If you do, you'll pass the class with ease. He is very inspirational, engaging, and will provide good feedback. Although he might come off as loud and boisterous, he is very kind and will accommodate if you talk to him after class.

Nicholas is a very intelligent individual, and his lectures and discussions are very interesting to listen to. However, he assigns a ton of homework and does not give clear instructions, and then doesn't even read what students write or grade anything until the end of the semester and doesn't give any feedback. His class is doable, but frustrating.
