Just take any one else, you'll regret taking this guy.

Attendance is mandatory, he grades it. The class averages on test were very low, i mean 50%. He does not curve grades or tests. Tests are not like hw or practice. He acts like he cares but really doesn't. The one person that added that good review, is not honest. Find another professor and not the mathurs either, they work together

This professor is very hard and I don't recommend taking him unless you have a love for writing and are truly good at it.

You all should know that it is a rare blessing to be able to get in contact with most teachers to the degree Mr. Thompson allows. He is available for zoom sessions, calls, paper skimming etc. and provides crystal clear expectations for papers which is great! The amount of papers assigned worked well for me because I learn through trial and error.

If you put in the work & use the feedback, it is easy to succeed. There is a paper due almost every week and the grading criteria is specific, so follow it. Be thorough with your peer edits. Don't be put off by his demeanor, he cares a lot! He told the class that he is willing to assist us with papers even after we are done with his course!

Mr. Thompson moves at a fast pace but his lectures are entertaining, it was the first class I felt comfortable answering questions. He is absolutely hilarious and will make you laugh. He does assign a good amount of homework but gives you time to complete it. He is clear about what he expects and gives great feedback!

Dr. Thompson is a fantastic professor. He is very caring and wants his students to succeed. The material is not super easy, and you have to put in work to get a top grade, but it is absolutely possible. Dr. Thompson is very accessible and goes the extra mile to provide additional support to learn the material. Highly recommend his class.

Professor Thompson is bit far one of my favorite teachers I've had. I went into class with little confidence in my writing and he continued to encourage me and built up my confidence. He is always available to talk outside of class. He will make accommodations around you and your schedule. He is very willing to help in any way you need to pass.

I dislike him. I dislike his class. Too much work essays every week. Is the worst grader. Do not take his class.

Mr. Thompson encourages one on one meetings to help where a student may be struggling. Excellent at giving feed back. Papers felt back to back but they had a sense of flow to them. He is a fun character and entertaining during lectures.
