Reviews of professor Thomas Farmer

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I don't know if he is different in person rather than online but online he is TERRIBLE. He did not answer any of my questions on readings that I did not understand and did not follow the syllabus. For the midterm he marked my answers wrong even though I put the answers he gave me when we reviewed the study guide. Do not take this class online!!

Professor Farmer really cares about teaching and his students. He is very helpful and gives good feedback but be ready to work.

I believe Professor Farmer is new to UTC, but he did a great job with his 1020 class. There weren't any small papers, just one big research paper at the end of the semester. The only bad thing is that you don't really know you grade in the class until the very end of the semester. He truly cares about his students and gives good advice.

There is homework once a week but super easy. Study guides are EXACTLY the exam. Made lectures very interesting and funny at the same time, making me learn more and want to learn more. One midterm and one final exam. Everything about this professor was AMAZING. only thing was that he did not put any of the grades in until the end of the semester

Honestly one of my favorite professors and tries to relate ethical scenarios to real life. plus he's funny af and makes ethics something you can actually care about not much work outside of class just one paper and a midterm.

Easy A class. Study Guide is what's on the exam so just study that and you will pass. Not a lot of homework, even so, easy hw. I recommend taking his class if you want an easy A.

Make sure you participate in class because he will deduct ONE LETTER GRADE. He has a heavy accent so make sure you listen carefully and he seems to have problems with poc. He is very disorganized so make sure to KEEP TRACK OF YOUR GRADES and make sure you receive all your assignments back.

Online for 2020, hell of a class. So. Much. Work. There was little to no communication, just posted the assignments and that was it. Be ready for a 10-page research paper. Didn't receive any grades throughout the entire semester. I understand that he had lots of classes to teach, but still! Didn't post weeks work until Wednesday due Friday.

Smooth ASMR voice makes me sleepy but I rarely went to lecture. There is no getting around that his class is a lot of work, but his lecture notes are complete and thorough. His grading is harsh but you come out really knowing the material. He is really nice outside of grading.

This class is definitely worth it. It's an easy A as long as you do the HW assignments on time. Study guides are EXACTLY like what's on the exam. He has a sense of humor as well. Attendance matters, but his lectures are good. The course overall was very interesting and fun. Would take again.
