Prof. Thompson is super precious! You can see that he really cares about his students. His reviews will tell you exactly what will be on exams and you're a total fool if you still fail his exams. Homework is pretty easy and can be done quickly. 10/10 would recommend him for INTB!

Professor Thompson was great. The class consists of three quizzes, six homeworks, an essay and lots of opportunities for extra credit. I loved his lectures through power points and the notes he provided were more than generous in helping you ace the quizzes. I suggest you take him for INTB 3354 and 3355.

Dr. Thompson teaches history using movies and baseball, and he ensures that every student passes with flying colors. I'd take him again in a heartbeat!
Awesome
Such an easy A class! I am not a fan of history, but he really made it bearable for me. We watched lots of movies in class and he gave several extra credit!
Good
Professor Thompson was a good teacher. He gives the vibes of a great father. Each class has clicker questions. The tests are heavily review-based, and there were weekly online assignments. He makes the lectures quite interesting, and he really knows his stuff. Overall, his class is not bad and I would definitely recommend him.
Awesome
Professor Thompson has a passion for history and his lectures reflect this. In addition to PowerPoint, he uses videos and documentaries to supplement many topics. His grade consists of two exams, an essay, and weekly learning modules. However, he condensed our semester's material due to a lack of teacher assistants. So, take this review with a grain of salt.
Good
Professor Thompson has a genuine concern for his students, emanating warmth and kindness. The lectures are captivating, with a strong emphasis on student engagement, particularly notable in the small, honors class setting. The workload is reasonable, consisting of a straightforward group project, a substantial essay, online assignments, and active participation. Overall, it's an enjoyable class facilitated by a great professor. I would enthusiastically recommend it.
Awful
This professor doesn't teach at all. He just reads from his PowerPoint presentations, which is something we could easily do ourselves and probably learn more that way. He never replies to any of our emails, and he comes off as a bit impolite when you ask him a question. Plus, his instructions aren't too clear to understand.
