Professor Thomas is awesome. Really goes above and beyond. With the transition to online classes because of the rona', sometimes you feel like your professors are ghosting you. But Professor Thomas always stays in contact. Law is tough, don't expect to skate by. If you do your reading and stay on top of homework, he gives you every opp. for an A

I took Professor Thomas for Law 340. Here are a few tips to succeed; read, get in contact with your group immediately, and make the time. The topics covered are interesting and will be very useful in the future. He replied to emails within 24 hours and will check up on you to support you. Take his class! He is transparent and very organized.

Safari crashed the day of the final kicking me off and using up the only attempt. I emailed him three times considering he does slightly delay in getting back to you but came through in the end allowing me to restart the test. Solid guy. Textbook chapters do give a more thorough explanation but his provided powerpoints sum up most important points.

Professor Thomas is a good teacher. This class is fairly easy. As long as you do the homework, youll be good. Take notes while you read and study. AND DO NOT PLAGIARIZE. The professor does not take plagiarism lightly; he wants you to actually learn in his class and use your knowledge to create original answers.

All work is due on Tuesday and its like 2-3 worksheets, 1 case analysis, and 1 discussion post. I learned a lot and the work is definitely based on what you learn from the book or ppt
