Reviews of professor Thomas Morales

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Genuinely an awful professor. I have never struggled so hard in a college class, and this professor made our lives hell. He mumbles in his lectures and when you ask him a question, he will either complain or just ramble and say exactly what he's already said before and then finish off with "idk if that helped but yeah." PLEASE do not take him.

You are graded by three exams and one application paper. Be prepared to find the motivation to go to class.

I was so disappointed with this class. Grading was extremely harsh and by the TA. Lectures were extremely hard to understand and professor made me feel bad for asking questions. Quizzes and papers were very stress inducing. Play with a virtual rat the whole class, I really did not enjoy at all and work was extremely difficult.

I am not at all an over achiever with academics and if I would have studied harder for the quizzes I could have gotten an A. The first half is Sniffy assignments where attendance is important unless you have the program at home. The second half is easier online labs which is nice with finals around the corner. He doesnt deserve the bad rating!

There's two required long papers, a quiz every other week, and labs due every other week. He is funny. Says the class is easy, but the quizzes were really hard. Doesn't offer extra credit. Does not return grades in a timely manner or explain what you got wrong. I would take him if you are an independent learner. Disappointed about grading system:(

Started this class with no expectations, yet I was still disappointed by the end of the semester. Lectures were alright and the homework was not hard, but the grading was too harsh. It seems like he relies on his GA to do all of the grading. There were a few quizzes given and 2 papers too. Professor seems cool, but I would not take him again.

If you usually prefer very clear expectations through the use of rubrics and explicit study guides, this may not be the class for you. There is a certain level of independent thought and effort necessary to do well in this class. But to balance that out, Professor Morales is approachable, funny, and makes the dry data relevant to everyday life.
