Reviews of professor Thomas Marre

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Marré was a pretty decent prof for an intro level philosophy course. Sometimes gets a little distracted, sure, but sometimes funny, and interesting material.

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Prof Tom is a passionate philosophy teacher. He explains philosophy exceptionally well and encourages questions to be asked. The more involved you are as a student, the more willing he is to give back in turn. Stay focused, pay attention, enjoy the class, and the class will be enjoyable.

Thomas spends a lot of time talking about nothing. He goes on long tangents that aren't relevant to the texts he assigns and struggles to speak in front of large groups of people. Additionally, he doesn't give clear criteria and doesn't really talk about the assignments in class.

Thomas is really knowledgeable, but he has trouble conveying material to students in lecture, so the readings and recitation were much more helpful in learning. It's often difficult to understand what he's referencing in class, meaning that most of the course is reliant on the assigned reading.

Honestly this was one of the worst classes I've taken. His lectures are painfully boring and if you don't do the readings you'll fail. Even if you do the readings it is very difficult because it's nearly impossible to understand what the heck is going on in them. He is very nice though and is so funny.

Tom is a decent prof for a philosophy course. He just talks and writes stuff on the board, and expects people to copy things down. Managed to get a B in the class with grade made up of Recitation Attendance, 2 Papers, and a Midterm and Final. Honestly, going to recitation is helpful to do well on the exams; thanks Shivam!

Tom sucks at lectures. He doesn't have powerpoints and just talks in a spew of words that are not very important. Philosophy readings are hard to understand for my non-philosophy brain I didn't read anything but still managed to get an A. Don't recommend, but if you pay attention you'll do fine. Graded on 2 papers, 2 tests and recitation attendence

I think a lot of the feedback is a little harsh on here. Tom is pretty cool guy, and a pretty good professor. He doesnt have powerpoints which is fine, you dont need to be babied to do well. His exams are really based on lecture and test concepts. Going to recitation is helpful because everything is clarified and will help you on the exams.

Tom is a bubbly professor who has his quirks, but it makes the lectures enjoyable. To follow along, make sure you have done your readings ahead of time, and participate/focus!
