Reviews of professor Thomas Bridges

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Prof Bridges was nice but the class is difficult if you don't understand econ pretty well. The class consists of hw, exams, and participation only which makes it hard to get a good grade in this class. Exams is worth 75% of the overall grade so if you don't score well on one you are already at a B however he does curve the score which is helpful.

Bridges is a solid Professor. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to current events and economic news. The tests are hard but always get big curves. Homework is light. If you come to class and somewhat pay attention it should be an easy A or A-.

Grade based off of 4 exams, assignments , quizzes during discussion and participation polls. Quizzes during discussion section were challenging and he/TA aren't specific about what is on it but he will send up curving them a lot. Also curved exam grades a lot which is good. As a person, he is very clear during lecture and slides are very organized

The class itself was challenging, even though there was only 1 assignment a week. The one honors discussion assignment was pretty much useless. There are 3 multiple-choice tests and 2 short-answer ones and he curves all the grades. His lectures will probably put you to sleep because his voice is so monotonous, but he really knows his stuff.

I love Bridges! He's pretty chill and makes random funny comments. There are 5 exams worth 15% of your grade each. The multiple choice ones are kinda tricky but he curves them. The free-response ones are exactly like the practice exams he gives us. He flips through the lecture slides fast but he explains well + posts them online.

Do you want to hate school? Take bridges! The most boring teacher to ever have to sit through a lecture and watch teach. Pretty sure this guy hates his life, as he miserably moans out every piece of information that you need to know. A ton of quizzes pretty much weekly and the concepts are insanely difficult to understand. Avoid this guy

I took Econ103 during the summer and prior to the class I heard someone call him the most average professor they've ever had and I somewhat agree. This class was easy. If you just showed up and took notes, you should have gotten an A. It got boring at times but it was a condensed class with much information, so that was expected. Good guy.
