Reviews of professor Merideth Thompson

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Prof Thompson is the most frustrating professor I've had at USU. I feel like my grade is always up in the air because her ambiguous grading criteria. Get ready to read tons of articles for a 5 question quiz that you have 5 minutes to do. The negotiations are frustrating because you don't know what you'll be graded on. Take this class elsewhere!

She is the worst of the worst. I never do write-ups like this but she needs to be known as a horrible instructor that makes you have to read her mind to get an A. and it's her opinion that dictates your grade and no other rubric. If she likes you you'll get an A and if she doesn't, Drop her Class. Don't waste your time here.

Beware this lady. She does not work with students and acts like she's too good for your time. The biggest thing I had an issue with is that she grades depending on how she feels. She will give 0's for completed assignments that are turned in on time. The class is also taught through PowerPoint with audio recordings in it versus a video recording.

Required weekly zoom calls with other students are a huge part of your grade that depend on other people who often don't respond or wait until the last minute to reach out. This becomes especially complicated when you are assigned to multiple students. Think about how frustrating getting a college group project started is. Now do that once a week.

She is a tough grader. Her iDecision negotiations does not give you ANY clear grading criteria so be VERY aware of this!

Idk what all these ratings are saying I loved Dr. Thompson. If you take her class in person and show up you'll do fine. There are some readings each week that can seem heavy, but they are not too bad if you just take a little time to do them. She is one bad a** woman and was an inspiration to me. Highly recommend

Class is manageable in 7 weeks; weekly readings/quiz, 2 projects, and 2 exams. Both projects involve working with a group, but overall not bad. Professor is a tough grader and will dock a point for every error she finds in your projects. Quizzes are timed; 5 questions, but only 3 minutes to take the quiz. Reading is key to passing the quizzes.

Dr. Thompson is literally so awesome. She is super accessible by email and is really helpful. She has no problem helping you know what to study and really prepares you for the assignments. I didn't really need to read the textbook that much except for the first few quizzes. I read other ratings that said she was super tough, but I really liked her!

DO not take negotiations from Meredith she is such an unfair grader and has a bunch of pop quizzes that are impossible to pass. DO not waste your time.
