Reviews of professor Meredith Thompson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I honestly don't understand why there are so many bad ratings on here for Dr. Thompson. I thoroughly enjoyed her negotiations course and learned a lot. I can see how you would dislike this professor if you were not a fan of class participation, but it is the only way to learn with this subject matter. I would take again.

Class met twice weekly, with one session for a lecture on negotiation tactics, the other for in-class group negotiation. Daily interaction with classmates was required, building a shared goal of efficient negotiation and value creation. Quizzes, based on concise textbook material, were straightforward. Meredith gave valuable feedback and support.

The simulated negotiations teach you almost nothing. Her lectures are not helpful at all. Her final is open note/book, but you have less than one minute to answer each question so you've basically got to know the material by heart. I am a A/B student typically but received a C- in her class. Terrible professor with a god complex.

Professor Thompson loves to play the "guess what I'm thinking" game. 
She gave me a zero on multiple assignments because I missed single questions (none of my correct answers were taken into account.) Her study guide for the final said: "anything from the two textbooks and assigned readings is free game, but don't re-read everything"

Professor Thompson is a great teacher and I learned a lot from her Negotiations class, however, this was easily one of the hardest classes I have ever taken. The grading is very difficult and there are very few assignments. Make sure to read the chapters VERY WELL and take lots of notes (quizzes are very hard). Participation is also a must.

Professor T does not believe in rubrics, which is fine, but then she grades you against one. In a negotiation you may think you have a great outcome but it is not exactly what she wanted. I am an A student and I had a C for most of the semester. The quizzes were either super easy or impossible. Avoid this class if your care about your GPA.
