Reviews of professor Brad Thompson

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Brad is such a cool dude and super down-to-earth. He is a little disorganized but if you approach him with a concern/question he is more than willing to help. If you actually sit down and have a conversation with the guy he really tries to make it personable. I didn't find the class to be that difficult, actually similar in difficultly to 103.

Cancelled class for a month straight. Inaccessible via email. When we did have class, we would get out after 20 minutes tops which was nice. This class was not too difficult so I was able to succeed, but be prepared to do a lot of the learning on your own.

Hardly meet for Lab for the week, that's great if you understand the material but if you don't you may not want to take him. Lab answer keys are posted, just study them before you take the quizzes and you should be okay.

He is a very nice and funny person. However, his class was incredibly difficult for a general education requirement. Also, directions were constantly unclear and our quizzes and tests were extremely difficult. Everything is recorded on lockdown browser.

We have had just as many asynchronous classes as we've had in-person classes, so I feel like I have to teach myself everything. The quizzes are hard imo. Some of them are literally 4 questions so it is very easy to fail them. He tells you very last minute that lab is online, and he changes the lab when it's online, after I already printed the lab.

Brad is a good guy but his lab is hard. You have no idea what your grade is throughout the course, he posts the labs super late (sometimes only 30 minutes before class) and doesn't really teach. I got an A- in my infamously hard lecture class but couldn't get above a B in here. Difficult to study for and hard to get a good grade in.

DO. NOT. TAKE. HIM. Horrible prof, so unnecessarily rude. Talks about himself way too much, grades too hard for an entry level class. Take someone else, there are other excellent 105 profs.

Brad Thompson is a fantastic professor! If you put in the effort, ask questions, and meet with him for office hours then you will do well. He gives lectures that help you understand the lab, which I was grateful for as the labs can be confusing if you are behind in lecture. He is also really entertaining so get to know him, it's worth it! :)
