Reviews of professor James Thompson

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Dr. Thompson genuinely wants people to pass his class. He says attendance is mandatory but you get 4 days you can miss. Over all his lectures go with the book so if you do miss class just look at the book.

This is the worst class I have ever had, this is my senior year of college and I have never had a harder class. Dr. Thompson has made me want to either drop out of school or change my major. There is no reason he had to make this class so unnecessarily hard, I will forever have PTSD for years to follow. I have nightmares of being in this class.

He knows a lot of things regarding the subject but exams are way too tough . Practice homework problems and again , read PowerPoints carefully thats how u can pass his class ! Any questions you have ask in person not email , very bad at replying emails !!!!!!!!!!

Class is unnecessarily difficult as exams are tough. When doing textbook assignments, they only give out answers verbally (very briefly) rather than displaying them on a screen which is tough for visual learners like myself. Very knowledgeable about the field. Do not rely on PowerPoint or textbook for exam study. Utilize the Gleim resource.

I loved Professor Thompson's class. I have always been interested in rock music and he went above and beyond with my expectations for the class. Although his lectures were lengthy, he made them really interesting to follow along to especially when he played music. His projects were also very fun and didn't seem like a chore to do. Highly recommend!

Avoid him at all cost. Exams are hard, no notes, ask questions that was not covered in class. Weekly quizzes only available after class (7:50pm) until 8am the next day. So you can stay up late, get up early, or study all night if you have test anxiety like me. Tough grader, unclear grading criteria slow with email, non negotiable on every aspect.

Fun class and professor! Had a great personality which always made coming to class enjoyable and explained the material very thoroughly. Easy A as long as you take good notes and study well for the tests, which aren't too bad. Other assignments are pretty simple, too. Would definitely recommend if you're interested in rock music and/or pop culture.

He is very smart, but class is unnecessarily difficult. He needs to change his teaching style because lecture, textbook and PowerPoint slides wont help student understand a difficult concept. I would refrain taking him for any accounting classes.

Dr. Thompson is honestly one of my favorite professors that I have had so far. There are very few assignments, and of the few assignments they are very short papers. He actually cares about his students and makes the class, which is already enjoyable, more enjoyable. As long as you go to class and take notes you will have no problem getting an A.
