Reviews of professor Robert Thomson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. T was one of the greatest prof's I've ever had. Really cared and got to know students, and taught the content really well. Hands down the best prof in the chem department !!

Thomson is a very nice prof:) He goes over a lot of examples in class to make us better understand the material instead of being too lecture-focused. He cracks funny jokes, and always reads the chat for any questions that come up. Can sometimes be a little slow in a topic and rush in another, but clarifies everything in the end!

BEST PROF IVE HAD. You can tell he loves his job and will explain concepts down to the smallest bit. He is very approachable and overall just an awesome instructor. He really cares about his students and will respond to emails in a snap. If there's room in his classes I highly recommend taking him. Will make you fall in love with chem.

I honestly have no idea how the ratings on this site are so high for Dr. Thomson. Maybe he's a more effective lecturer in person but I STRUGGLED with taking his class online. His pace is way too fast and he doesn't stick around after class to answer student questions. I typically don't struggle with online classes but this one was tough to follow.

Rest In Peace Robert Thomson. One of the most kind hearted and caring teachers I have ever had. He truly enjoyed what he did, and he was very good at it.

Robert is such a sweet, caring & inspirational prof. He is a new prof at Cap but I'm so happy I found him. He gives really good real-life examples in his lectures and gives you opportunities to improve your mark. I thought it was an easy A with minimal effort if you just review his slides before the exams and do little assignments (2)

I LOVE DR THOMSON!!!! Retook chem 121 and I understood it way better thanks to him. Chem 121 is generally a hard course but if you ask for help he explains really well. His classes are also very enjoyable

OMG i swtg he is such a hard marker. He always provides super confusing assignments and expects us to do well? He is nice but I would never ever take his class again if he keeps doing it this. His expectation is so high yall. Please be aware.

Lectures are not mandatory but worthwhile. He goes through many examples which might be at a quick pace for some but it was alright for me. Hes a cool guy in general.

TAKE HIS CLASS! He is one of the nicest profs I have met. He is willing to help you and give good feedback/suggestion to help you achieve good grade on your tests + group work. Make sure you go over his slides carefully and apply all the terms to ur gr project.
