Reviews of professor Jason Thoma

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The professor is a nice guy but he does not teach that well he makes you watch videos he make to learn the material and give way to much work that he didn't really explain to well in the videos he did explain the material that well in person either and by the time I left there was only 4 other student beside me out of around 25. Don't recommend him

When I first met with him, he talked about attending classes to improve his teaching methods. It was nice to hear that a professor cared about this. His lectures are detailed and straightforward. As long as you follow them and do the Hawkes homework, you'll do well in this class! He's also very caring so take the time to communicate with him!

Really, really great guy. He told us he lost sleep because he felt he did not give us a good enough explanation on some of the material, so he extended the homework and re-lectured it. I feel he could have helped us understand the material better by using more visual aids. I'm very happy I took him, he mad a tough and confusing subject passable.

Although lecture was easy to follow, ALL definitions and examples came from the textbook. It did not help that the textbook itself has a bad reputation. This made going to class feel pointless and homework was extremely difficult with few resources. In order to pass this class, you will have to teach yourself with resources other than professor.

Literally a waste of time! Extremely difficult and expects you to know everything. Tests are DEFINITELY not like the homework or lectures. Exams are worth 20% and final is worth 25% of your overall grade. Disgusting!

Professor Thoma is a good teacher but made the lectures really dreadful. Tests were extremely difficult for Pre-Calculus and he would put things that weren't in the homework or the lectures. Half of my class dropped out and most of the ones who stayed failed the class. If you're a STEM major I wouldn't take Professor Thoma, there are better choices
