Reviews of professor Robert Thomson

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I feel bad because he's a really nice guy and clearly cares about his students; however, his lectures consist of him reading over a powerpoint presentation and telling stories about his career in marketing. While he is knowledgeable about the topic of marketing, he didnt't seem to know the course itself and often was disorganized and not prepared.

Dr. Thomson was definitely a very caring and approachable professor, but I found his lectures to be a little fast and sometimes a little confusing. His teaching style didn't work out the best for me but a lot of my friends liked it. However, he had a lot of polls in class which were helpful, and was amazing in office hours. Good sense of humour too

I enjoyed the class and Dr. Thomson. He throws in jokes here and there, along with different references which always cracks me up. I think our section fell being others, but maybe it was due to the MWF schedule. As a result, I think we went through the final chapters quickly. However, I think everything was manageable if you kept up in the CHiRP.

Great prof for first year CHEM120, lectures provided many examples to prepare you for exams

Dr. Thomson's exams are very hard and the homeworks are long and frustrating. Thankfully he curves generously, cracks nice dad jokes and is always approachable in office hours. He really makes you work for it, but at least he's nice.

Dr. Thomson is accessible outside of class and is willing to provide extra help if needed. His lectures are detailed, but he explains concepts thoroughly and well. I took his class in a summer semester, and my only concern was that the midterms were slightly on the harder side. He is a great teacher otherwise.

His lectures are so fast I hardly had time to write things down but we were somehow mostly behind other courses and needed to catch up. He's accessible outside class which is great and responds to each email fairly quickly with detail. The lecture recordings by another prof and the textbooks really helped me understand chem.

He was a great prof. I found his lectures too fast-paced but others seemed to do fine. Solid choice but personally don't like chem so I might be biased XD

I recommend Robert highly!! He is the most caring professor I have had at Cap. He provides a ton of knowledge and will do whatever he can to help you in his classes. If you show interest in this course and put forward effort he will acknowledge this and you will glide through the semester with a great grade. Honest marker, not overly hard or easy.
