Reviews of professor Thomas Lane

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
there's a lot of negativity for Tom. But he's actually really good at teaching. He's just bad at time management. If you have difficulties with anything just go ask him. He will literally walk you through it step by step until you get it. I'll bet the people who didn't like his class never bother to go ask him for help.

It is difficult to rate a professor when you really do not have one in class. Every class is a different excuse. In the end, you learn by yourself what you could.

He has good knowledge but any didactic. He is totally unorganized, was always late, and had lots of excuses to not teach or show up at the class. I learned more with StackOverflow. We never received any feedback until the end of the course. The mid-term and final are much more difficult than the Zybooks that you need to read and learn by yourself.

Didn't really give any feedback for assignments and didn't mark anything until last minute, but gave good feedback in person and made time to work through something outside of class if you didn't understand. Higher rating because he comes across as a really understanding and patient instructor. (which I personally value more than the grading issue)

This instructor has lots of relative knowledge, but he does not know how to teach. He could only teach students who are already familiar with the material. Doing assignments supposed to be a way for student to evaluate the knowledge and skill they have learned. But he does not give any feedback to your assignments until the final week.

Tom's quite knowledgeable and cares about his students. His exams are memorization heavy but if you do terribly on the midterm he'll waive that mark if you do better on the final . There's a term long router project that's time consuming but as long as you do it he'll pass you. Overall, the class was challenging but extremely rewarding in the end!

Thomas is the best professor in CIT program, very passionate about technology and teaching overall. He is extremely knowledgeable and is willing to share as much of his knowledge with students as he can. His classes are challenging however you get well prepared for a job since his labs are quite complex, interesting and very applied.
