Reviews of professor Michael Thompson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Took his online class and loved it. He's very clear about what he wants from you and while I feel that sometimes his grading scale was unfair, he will tell you how to improve majorly. There's a lot of papers to write, but you're given a lot of time to do them. Very knowledgeable and helpful. If you want to learn the subject, take him.

This professor may seem mean at first but overall is a great teacher. His grading is strict but is to be expected of a college professor. He is available to look over essays prior to turn in. Very open to interaction outside of class and willing to provide help when needed. Overall a great teacher and I would take his class again.

Ive taken Thompson for two semesters, English 111 and 112 and both times I was a very ADHD student who also works 40 hours a week, but he understood that life happens and worked with every single problem I came to him with and Im needy so there was a lot. He actually teaches too!! Thats a big plus

Lazy way of teaching, calls it "flipped classroom". Basically teaching yourself. Wont provide answers to hw questions or study guides. Attendence is mandatory, he records it for his safety. Class average on test was 59%. What a joke to be a required course. Dont waste your time and money on him. Seems like after covid, he doesnt like to do his job.

A flipped classroom style means that most learning has to be done out of class. He gives students a lot of resources to be successful. The lectures are pretty boring but important. Don't buy the textbook, you have readings but can get away with just using the study guide. You have to buy the study guide/ course packet.

The class was super hard, debated in dropping several times

Mr. Thompson is the BEST professor I have ever had. While yes, he is a tough grader, he is extremely great with feedback on school work and he is incredibly considerate and caring. He understands life is not always peachy and things happen. He is an amazing teacher who provides videos explaining work to be done for each week. 10/10 recommend.

We loved Professor Thompson. Yes, the work is difficult and you have a paper almost every week, and yes, he gives difficult grades, but he does so purposefully. He wants you to pass the class so you can continue on through college and your career. He began saying our first papers would average 40-50%, but he will help you improve your grade.
