Reviews of professor James Thelusma

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
If you miss his class ALOT, you lower your own grade because participation is a big part of your grade. He is pretty laid back and is committed to working with you to improve your grade. Just don't talk and be rude. He doesn't use the textbook, he gives you everything you need. All you have to purchase is the webassign. He is understanding!

This professor was awesome. He remembers things about students that most professors don't, which makes the class more engaging. He did a great job teaching the curriculum. He teaches at other schools in several subjects, along with having his own medical practice. He wasn't super particular about attendance and didn't have too many assignments.

Calc 1 online was weird, didn't learn too much from it. He didn't even upload his own lectures until the last month of the semester. He uploaded randomlong youtube videos and worksheets and this class was not interactive at all. Lectures were extremely long and not useful, overall pretty lazy. Multiple attempts for quizzes were great though.

This class was pretty straight forward. Just pay attention in class and review the lecture slides and you'll be fine. The homework is online and if you have any questions about it feel free to as him after class.

He is funny and makes class more lively at times; however, I personally don't think he's a good professor. He teaches slow and makes mistakes on the problems. Participation is 25% of the grade, so if you aren't the type to talk, don't take him. He's very hard to find outside of class so if you don't understand the topic, you're out of luck.

Great profoesser, would take again. He's funny and gives extra credit on tests usually. Doesn't use blackboard for any of his resources so going to class is a must but besides that everything in his class is doable.

he was the best professor i had freshman year because he actually took the time to explain concepts and not speed through material. as long as you do your part to learn you'll pass, he also takes account how much effort you put in when giving out grades. he gives great life advice too lol
