Reviews of professor Thomas Gustafson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Easily one of the most enjoyable professors I've had at state thus far. His class is engaging and forces you to think not only differently, but more effectively. His lectures are fun and hes very approachable, funny, and fair. He offers several extra credit opportunities and encourages students to ask for help. He is rooting for everyone's success.

Professor Gustafson is probably one of my favorite people ever because he genuinely cares about his students succeeding. He made waking up early enjoyable & made the content/ lectures engaging. Easy homework, few assignments, clear grading criteria, and if you fight him on a grade, he will probably change it. Keep up w the class & it's an easy A.

Gustafson was by far my favorite teacher this semester. He will help you with anything that you are having problems with. You will be doing some reading and writing, but it is nothing that is too overwhelming. He doesn't make attendance mandatory, but I would not skip class towards the end of the semester since that is when papers are assigned.

My favorite professor ever. The material is a bit complicated, but he does everything he can to work with you. 10/10 recommend going to class even though it's not mandatory because the material is a bit confusing on your own and he explains it thoroughly. Homework is not overwhelming and he goes over it. Super interesting class and worth taking.

This guy teaches a great philosophy class. He makes lecture interesting and often quite humorous, and doesn't overcomplicate the coursework and grading criteria like some other professors. If you show up and do the work, you are virtually guaranteed a good grade. Definitely my favorite professor at SDSU (speaking as a first semester freshman).

Professor Gustafson is not only amazing at teaching but he makes the class enjoyable as well. He provides a bunch of extra credit (which I would recommend doing) and there is a couple of papers and 2 tests (midterm + final). The material can be confusing but he provides you with all the help you need to succeed! My favorite professor ever!!!

Really fun teacher. Show up and things will be a piece of cake come the final and other end of semester assignments. Taking good notes will also make things a lot easier

This guy made getting up at 7am for class bearable. He is truly kind, hilarious and a great teacher. He genuinely enjoys being with his students and helping them succeed. The class was a good amount of difficult and I feel like grew as a writer from it. I also liked analyzing the books that we read since he was good at explaining it all. 10/10
