Reviews of professor Thomas McGurk

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Very accessible, patient and ready to answer any questions that you may have. Returns your emails in a timely manner. Great sense of humour. Clear and concise slides. Labs are useful, interesting and not heavy. Very accommodating (perhaps too much) - he gave us many occasions to make up for poor grades in the pop quizzes. Recommended!

My heart was full after each lecture. Such a great guy.

Probably the worst prof I have had in the GEOG department because he has barely any organizational skills. He gave the class assignments that were poorly created and had the wrong information on them. Constantly changing due dates and emailing 10 times a week with youtube videos because he doesn't teach you the skills to finish the assignments 0/10

I had him in URBS 250, he is a very nice professor and his class overall is really good. He does do pop quizzes but they are super easy and open book. the assginments are also super easy, but you need to go to the lab because he doesnt post them on moodle. however, i do not like his grading scheme.

Super funny and caring, definitely did his best to make the admittedly dry subject more interesting. The pop quizzes were a struggle at first but he ended up giving us lots of opportunities to make them up with extra credit. His slides are a little messy; go to class and especially the labs, he explains much better.

Useless class. He lowered grades at the end of the semester

Honestly might be the worst professor I've ever had. His course content could be taught in a 3hour crash course and all of his assignments / exams / quizzes are just busy work with unclear grading. I think he enjoy messing with students GPAs with his awful up grading scheme. Would be a terrible prof even if he taught high school geography. AVOID.
