Reviews of professor Marcus Thompson

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Coach Thompson is a cool dude. The music he plays during class is... interesting LOL. Classes are strictly lifts. The tests are on the textbook which we don't go over AT ALL in class. I took this class for credit and did fine. If you don't think you'll make much progress lifting/don't think you'll do well on tests I would definitely take it P/F.

Attendance is MANDATORY, will get mad at you if you're late. 2 lates = absence, 6 absences = fail. The women-to-men ratio of my class was 3:5 (6:10). Class is set up by a similar strength partner punching the bag on opposing sides. I did S/U grading bc midterm & final = hard (txtbk). 3 finals: 20 min 2 mile run, 3 min strike test, txtbk chapters.

I enjoyed his class! Beware that attendance is a huge deal & don't be late. I had 0 weight training experience b4 taking this class but I feel more confident in my ability to workout & learned a lot. There's only 2 exams & the bench press, leg press, & lat pulldown grades. I took this for credit & ill probably have a B-. He's pretty chill too!

Coach Thompson's class was very fun and very beginner friendly in terms of weightlifting and he's a very nice guy. The course grading however sucks. You get 3 exams (90%) and a 3 minute wall(10%) sit for your entire grade. Exam content is ONLY in the textbook it will not be covered in class. Fun class overall but I would recommend taking pass/fail.
