Reviews of professor James Thomas

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
James is super chill and fun, genuinely cares for students! However, he can be very disorganized and the class is lecture heavy. all tests and quizzes are take home/open note. if you dont like art history it might get boring and tiresome but if you have any interest in the subject the class is a breeze

Prof. Thomas is funny, lenient, and understanding. However, for our class, he was unorganized, never responded to emails, and very vague with assignments in general. He tends to go on meaningless rants and only assigned 2 papers for the whole semester. Didn't enjoy or learn much, but I guess he's easy if you're not into AH and want a chill class.

He is knowledgeable about art history (especially more modern works). His classes are somewhat unorganized. The details for assignments are vague and he sometimes doesn't respond to emails. I think he has a lot on his plate. He doesn't believe in "grading" so you're almost guaranteed an A but I feel like my writing didn't improve from his classes

prof thomas is super lecture heavy but he cracks jokes and will sometimes ask questions and randomly pick someone in order to keep everyone's attention but he's super kind and helpful. also be prepared for trips to museums which are honestly really fun! its a really interesting class sucks that it had to go online :(

Really funny guy! His class is an easy ged-ed. There are a couple papers that you have to write. Art History is considered to be a boring topic for most people, but he makes the lectures interesting. Tests are easy and essays are graded by TAs. Pay attention in class and you should be fine.

Professor Thomas's class is extremely easy, all of his tests are take home and he usually gives one or two relatively easy papers. His class is super boring; though he cares about his students and tries to make it interesting, it usually just consists of long winded lectures. You don't really need to pay attention because of the take home tests.

I'm a business major and took this as an elective and it easily was my favorite one. You will have to put in a bit of effort, but try to enjoy the lectures. Him and his TAs really get you to appreciate art. You will have to write a few essays. 100% of tests questions are on the PowerPoints.
