Reviews of professor Thomas Priest

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
I adored taking History of Rock & Roll. We would just listen to music, go over some history, & make some observations. Very little homework, just a really fun class. He was always very kind & classy.

Thom is a good teacher, his class is a lot of fun. Beware of his tough grading, however, as he is not very clear with the assignment expectations and there is a huge assignment due like every week after a couple of weeks into the semester. His class is fun, his assignments are hard.

You will write A LOT in this class. However, it was extremely helpful. He gives a clear rubric on each assignment and gives great feedback to help you improve your writing. His lectures are incredibly boring however. This course could easily be an online course because the lectures really did nothing for me as far as learning anything.

I learned a lot about music and found the lectures interesting and fun. Honestly wish that the other students in class participated in answering Priests questions more. Priest is a tough grader on essays and there are quite a few you have to write, so be prepared for that. The quiz/exams are easy though.

I liked the class but Dr. Priest is a tough grader. He is good about communication though so if you have questions reach out early and ask specifically about his grading criteria. Had his own grammar assignments and used those as essay rubrics. Read the material and it won't take up too much time or be too difficult.

Professor Priest is unfair. He grades unfairly and is single minded (His way, or no way at all). He refuses to help when asked to clarify a bad grade. I advise not to take a class this professor teaches.
