Bob's lectures are great. He makes you almost like Freud. At least when he is lecturing you understand psychological theories

Bob was fabulous! Easily the best class I've taken at Shoreline. His lectures were captivating - not an easy feat! He made the entire class fun and I LOVED his class. I wish that he taught more classes - he's great!!!!

My class was fantastic! He makes you enjoy the topics he covers and keeps you captivated!

Bob is one of the best teachers I've ever met. I I chose 5 for easiness, which I mean is that he makes the subject very easy to learn. Excellent! It's not easy to get good grade in his class unless you study hard.

great class, easy to learn...now, if only Bob could work on his basketball skills a bit more..

Awesome teacher! Very good speaker, makes the material interesting and presents it in an fun way. He'll tell you what you are expected to know on the tests. Multiple choice tests with small essays on points covered in class.

Absolutely wonderful professor! He is so clear, and makes even dry material (eg parts of the brain) seem interesting. Is not above hopping up on tables to make a point. No homework, has a class-long journal, tests are multiple choice w/short, easy essays. Final is all multiple choice, from old tests

Bob was a total riot. His class generally consists of stories making it very relatable to real life. Ask him why he doesn't eat stewed tomatoes.

He is possible the greatest teacher ever. He is the funniest and easiest teacher. He explains everything in such a way, that you can't forget. He acts out most of the experiments, andsoo freking funny. If you thinking of taking any psych classes, you have to take him. he will make your life better.

best teacher i've ever had at shoreline.

He is a great professor! Very entertaining and keeps you focused and interested in the material! He does a great job of explaining everything. He is very nice and he cares about helping students succeed. Definitely take a class with him!

i LOVED BOB!!! he is the best teacher i've had at SCC...really knows what hes talking about and is such a kind man!! the tests are a little hard though, u really have to study and attend class..but trust me, you wont mind attending!!

Bob is by far the best teacher out there!!! He makes his class so interesting by using his own personal experiences. He teaches his class in such a way that once you left class, your still thinking about what he talked about in class. I learned alot in

Very entertaining in class, helped me to increase my better studying habits. I suggest this professor to people who want to take psychology.

Inspired me to be a psych major up at western. He is AMAZING and tells the best stories. He is a total Jamaican at heart, so he taught me about the "No worries" attitude. He is the best professor I have ever had (and I'm now at 180 total credits) and he looks kinda like Bruce Willis.

Bob is an AWESOME instructor! He presents the material in ways that makes you wish the class was 4 hours instead of almost 3. He keeps your attention, makes you laugh and has the type of energy that I wish all professors had. He is by far the best teacher I have ever had in all my years of school. TAKE HIS COURSE, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!

Bob is an awesome teacher. He is extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his subject. Very approachable and easy going. You NEED to know your stuff for the exams..they're not easy. Just attend lecture everyday and study..you'll do fine :) Trust me..he makes it interesting so you want to attend class.

good teacher and really cool guy.but class involves an huge amount of reading and time to be spent out of class working on things which begins to become difficult while taking other classes its a bit overwhelming. but as a teacher he is great the class is really intersesting and he is enetertaining when he lectures

He is passionate, and unafraid of uncomfortable subject matter. He's very entertaining, and made me excited to delve into the material. He does have a tendency to expatiate, so open discussion is not very common in his class, but that's forgivable in that he's extremely knowledgeable, and helpful if you're having trouble with anything.

A very very knowledgeable teacher, he can make u to start to see the world differently. One of the best things in his class would be his sharing of his experience (I like his vending machine story the most). In his class, you must respect him, cos he respects every student in his class. I can bet u, any question u ask him, he can answer u for 100%

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought he was an awesome instructor!

His class is really interesting. He give out examples so you can relate to topics better. But sometimes he repeat one point over and over again. He wanted students to make about 26 journals at the end of quarters, which take up some amount of time. Lots of readings involve and the tests is somewhat hard.

The exams are hard ( you'll do good with the multiple choice if you read the book and make sure you take notes on his lectures for the essays). But he is very considerate, fun teacher and very down to earth. I learned a lot from him as a teacher and as a person.He is the best teacher in Shoreline!

You know how when you read a REALLY good book, and you try to read it in such a way as to remember every word? How you don't want it to end? Bob's lifespan development class is like that. It's material so valuable that it's worth every minute you spend reading and in class, and it quite possibly may change the way you live your life.

Bob has great stories! They're all applicable to the material and you never forget them. He's easy to relate to, easy going, and does what he can to help you pass. This is not to be read that there is no work involved. You do have to make an effort because there is a lot to learn. Bob is clear and helpful and reasonable.

Bob was awesome! I took two of his classes, and he's an extrodinary teacher. In 100, there was alot of repetition, but with the pathetic attendence (these are college students?) that was probably good. There's a certain Bobness to him that I've never seen anyone else but a Jamaican truly capture. He's leisurely captiving.

Take Bob's classes he is a great teacher, makes coming to class fun because of his interesting stories.

Mr. Thompson is an awesome psychology teacher. I took Life Span Development with him and learned so much. He's always willing to help you out and make sure you are understanding what's going on. Lectures are long but mostly interesting. He is a very interesting and funny guy. Take his class.

Take Thompson's class. My favorite teacher from Shoreline. He keeps class interesting by telling funny stories. A very good professor, I would recommend this class to anybody.

hes a cool techer. this is an interesting class and i look forward to going.

I enjoyed the class, and he is a fun teacher, but his tests are HARD! I love the review days for them, because without them I would be even more lost. I might take a class by him again, because his stories were hilarious...but I think I would investigate the other teachers at SHCC first.

Bob was a great professor, his lectures were thought provoking and so emotive at times it was hard to keep my eyes dry. Also, I thought the hotness factor was there...

Great teaching style! I usually get bored during lectures, but his stories always kept me intrigued. He is fair with grading, and hates it when students talk while he is lecturing. (I agree- it is pretty rude.) I learned a lot in his class. He encourages you to take in all perspectives, and links the content in class to real life situations.

Wow!!! My favorite teacher of all time...I'd take another class just to hear the lectures again. LOVE IT!

very hard class but really interesting. Lectures are amazing and I totally have a crush on him.

AMAZING INSTRUCTOR! Go to every class, which is not hard to do since his lectures are fun to listen to!!! Favorite prof by far!! Tests are 30 questions multiple choice, 3 essay questions (but if you go to class essays are EASY!)

no comment :)

He is the BEST teacher I have ever had and he ALWAYS will be! He has influenced my life like no other. Amazingly interesting class and he includes personal (and quite hilarious) stories to make it really stick! Honestly, take this class even if you aren't required to! It changed my life! I love Bob Thompson!

very good teaching style. things are just so easy to remember when he teaches. He gives good study guides. Very emotional class. Sometimes he seems under the weather. His stories are the talk of the school. However the text is very heavy but its not always the first source to use.

One of the best instructors I've ever had - interesting, clear, memorable, honest, transparent... well worth attending every lecture!

Fabulous instructor! I have had many instructors in this type of field (around 150cr worth) and he is one of the best, even over some at a nearby major university!

you will need to be in lecture but you will want to be in lecture.

Best teacher I have ever had, he is flipping hilarious and was excited everyone time I had his class. Show up everyday, ask questions, read the book and you will do great.

One of the best teachers Ive had...He is easy to follow, is extremely funny, and relates things to life stories that make his lectures easy to pay attention to. The end of each class leaves you looking at life in a different way. Do the reading and take good notes in class and you will get a good grade. I have and will continue to recommend him

Very nice man, funny too. Would definitely recommend. Attendance is vital- there are three long essay questions based on his lectures. However, I would prefer instructor D. Christensen.

Best. Teacher. Ever. If you have a chance to do his Jamaica trip, DO IT. For his class, attendance is critical. His lecture topics are different from what's in the book, but you are tested on both. As long as you do well on the tests, the optional journal assignment isn't needed.

One of my fave professors ever. He definitely knows psychology, not just "textbook" talk, but he can relate it to your personal life. Funny. Great stories. Relaxed teaching style. Make sure you attend all lectures & study the study guide -- put in that much effort & you'll ace the exams.

Took general psych and lifespan psych with him. At the end of the last lecture of his lifespan psych class, the entire class was on the verge of bursting into tears because of the touching story he was telling. He knows psychology as a science, but he also knows psychology as humanity.

Tests are difficult, and some questions are from small details in the book. Must know material thoroughly from the book, most of which is not covered in class. Must have attended all lectures. Instructor is interesting and willing to give you help.

He is amazing! He explains things through stories which are sometimes hilarious and sometimes touching. He makes things as simple as he can. Attendance is important because the essay questions are based almost only on the lecture,while the rest is mostly book reading. His final is based off of only the previous tests which made it easy to study .

LOVE HIM!!! He is halarious when he gives examples during his lectures. Crawling on the floor like a rat and hiding in the corner. Standing on top of his desk. He always wears the same tan pin stripe pants :)He is always there to help. Very reassuring. He brings on new material slowly so you can comprehend. He makes it part of your life.

i was nerveous when i went int this class, because of stories my friends would tell me about the other Psych teachers, but i was thrown off guard when I realized how different he is, and his way of active teaching is so helpful.

Bob is a great guy but I did not enjoy his class. He is knowledgeable and fun and makes you laugh and would be great to shoot the breeze with over a beer but he rambles in class and repeats himself excessively and the flow of class doesn't feel very organized. Need to go though, because test questions come from class & textbook.

This is an entertaining learning experience. Laughed probably everyday with the exception of the tests, which were a multi-choice/essay combo. Yes he does repeat material, but it ensures that you remember it and are prepared for if and when it shows up on the test.

I liked this class a lot and I thought he was a great instructor! His teaching style was awesome because he tried to make it so it sticks in our brains, which it did. There are only 4 exams that you have to do,and one optional assignment... Overall I would highly recommend him, he's very knowledgeable and fun to listen to. (:

He was really informative and got me really interested in everything we were talking about. This wasn't the easiest class but if you study for your tests you will get a good grade. Generally liked going to class and had a good time throughout the quarter.

Bob is a great teacher. He's nice, funny and always gives examples. Sometimes his stories get off topic, but if you stay with him - they always end up making great examples for whatever he's going over. Always go to class, and read the book! If you're struggling, tell him! He puts together study groups that he's IN!

He is by far my favorite professor I have ever had. I wanted to go to his class. He is hilarious. Uses examples & experiences in his teaching - very helpful. Jamaica trip he puts on is life changing. He's a great professor.

Amazing instructor. His class changed my life.

Thompson is a great professor, he tells you exactly what is going to be on the tests, no surprises. DO the readings, come to his lectures and listen and you will do great in the class. I recommend this class to everyone, very interesting and his way of lecturing is very conversational and understandable. Loved this class.

Seriously the best teacher I have ever had! I went on the Jamaica trip with him and he is amazing! There is so much you can learn from this guy! YOu wont be sorry you took any of his classes!

He was great.

Bob was one of the teachers that I will never forget. He creates a nurturing environment that learning flourishes in. My last quarter I went to Jamaica with him in his study abroad class and it changed my life. I wish I had taken more of his classes but he is now a life long friend and I will always be going back to him for questions and support.

Lecture is interesting but difficult at the same time, the study guides he gives are really helpful. Homework is a bit too much,

Bob (the instructor) is a nice guy, but this class is a lot of work. More than typical online classes. He used launchpad with learningcurve instead of canvas for my class. The book was expensive; there were 4-8 quizzes a week, extra assignments, a ton of reading, and 4 exams. His study guides were helpful. Be prepared to study if you want an A.

I took this class about 2 years ago as a hybrid course during a 17cr load and I loved it! There is a significant amount of online homework, but it's not impossible... we're in college people. His lectures certainly aided in my learning and retention of the material. He is very quick to respond to emails. Tests include essays, which he grades fairly

This is an online class so you DO NEED to read and be self motivated. Mr. Thompson was very responsive to questions and clarifications. I have not met him in person so considering this was all online, I would still take the class again. In person is a different set up from online after all.

Professor Thompson is a good teacher, he uses a different online platform that you need to purchase, but his class is pretty straight forward, do each assignment, take a quiz, take an exam and repeat 4 times. The exams are worth 50% or your grade and they are timed with only 45 sec for each response, so know your stuff before you start!

In order to study material in his class, I would recommend reading the launchpad textbook. Make sure to read carefully! Refer to his study guide if you want to pass. The multiple choice is pretty difficult. The essay portion is manageable if you attend his lectures and ask questions. He is accessible during office hours and will be there for you!

I was a part of Bobs Jamaica Study Abroad program in 2004. While it has been 16(yes 16 years now!) I havent forgotten how impactful that trip was for my development as a young college student. The Jamaica study abroad course was one of the best experiences of my life. Assuming it is still similar, I would highly recommend it! Thanks Bob!

Professor Thompson is by far one of the best professors that I have ever had. I took several psychology classes with him before beginning my RN degree. His lectures were engaging. He has a dynamic way of teaching principals of the material in a way that makes it nearly impossible to forget. His passion is clear in his teaching! I can't praise enoug

He was very understanding

I feel like everyone saying Professor Thompson was below average, just did not apply themselves. I took psych 100 my freshman fall quarter, fully anticipating to be overwhelmed with an abundance of homework. However I LOVED this class. It can feel like a lot of hw so it is important to keep up, but I highly recommend this professor!

Everything is done through LaunchPad and make sure you stay up with the readings/quizzes!! If you can do that and really take the time to understand those questions from the quizzes and chapter summaries then you'll do just fine. Bob makes the expectations really clear. If you do the study guides he provides then you will be good for his exams.
