Not very impressed

I did not sign up to hear someone talk about something all year that she will be getting back to, and don't worry it'll make sense later.

She is not helpfull at all with understanding the assignments and very unprepared for class. I pay to b taught not teach myself. This is her career it wouldnt help to dress more profesional while you are at work.

Nice lady, but an absolutely useless prof. The most frustrating class I've ever taken! She is difficult to understand. She speaks way too quietly. Even when you can hear her it is impossible to understand what she is trying to articulate. She is extremely awkward and clearly uncomfortable in front of the class. Does not explain assignments at all!

Great as a person.. Horrible as a professor! Extremely hard to understand and doesn't provide notes for the class. The mid term was take home but it took me 12 hours and 11 pages! He had an opportunity to teach us all about indigenous ceremonies and culture , instead this class turned out to be a huge waste of time!

Terrible Prof! He talks so quietly and goes off on tangents all the time. I could never follow what he was trying to say or what it had to do with the chapters assigned. So far my grades have been good and fair, but I feel I have learned nothing. The midterm was crazy long and took me about 15 hours and 19 pages. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PROF!

You know when you read those rate my profs and see people complaining about the prof but think you might as well try anyways? DON'T DO IT WITH HIM! Seriously the worst prof I've ever had.. Had a 90 going into the final but he made it so ridiculously long just to curve out the grade.. Finished with a 70!

Quiet.. forces you to read something and then tells you what you read was wrong. Watches a lot of videos, he is nice, but not a good teacher.

He says attendance is mandatory, but only takes it about half the time. Super easy marker, but difficult to understand, and never completes his thoughts. Nice guy, bad teacher. If you really want to learn the content I would say DONT TAKE IT, however if you just want to get the credit, its a good class to take.

I hope you have excellent hearing because it is almost impossible to hear anything he says (even if you sit in the front). He marks fair but you should be prepared to put in the effort, especially with the research paper. I learned nothing the entire time and showed up to class every day. I will never take a class of his again. Exams are take home.

DId not like him at all. He was a very tough marker, expected more from a year 1 student than a 4th year student it seemed. Very quiet, tends to get off track.

His microphone cuts out every third word so you better sit close. All we do is watch videos but he does not state the purpose. Mid terms are next week and I have no clue of what he plans on putting on it. Good luck to anyone planning on taking this course

I love this class and I love what I learned ON MY OWN, because it was very interesting... But this professor made the class absolutely awful. He is way too quiet during lectures and very unorganized. Goes off track and it's hard to understand him. Every assignment of his is poorly graded because if you miss one important fact you could lose 20%

Just an awful professor.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. Do anything and everything you can do avoid this prof. He is a very quiet speaker, uses a mic but is still difficult to hear. He is also a rambler making it hard to focus on the topic at hand. Syllabus is a mess along with his URcourses page. ZERO organization. Get ready to do a lot of reading. Takes his sweet time grading.

Very quiet,uses a mic and you still cannot hear him. I sat in the front every class and it was almost impossible to understand. His lectures are very off topic and i don't feel as if i learned anything relevant to this class. He is a very nice person and tells you specific things that will be on midterms, but i wouldn't take another class with him.

I had him for INDG 100. Impossible to take notes in class because all of his points are useless, very unorganised, you can never hear him (even with the mic) and almost always, his lectures jump from one thing to another. Only way of doing good is by being teachers pet and having the same opinion as him. Both sides of the story aren't welcomed.

He was very hard to hear and his lectures were very confusing because he jumped around. Some of the instructions for assignments were confusing.

AVOID AVOID AVOID!! he is a very nice and decent guy, but he is a terrible teacher!!! He rants on and on and his lectures have to organization to them and then when students try to help each other follow where he is going he humiliates them in front of the whole class. The final exam easy had barely anything to do with what he talked about in class

Nice guy, but terrible prof. No organization to his "lectures," just him ranting and then showing you video clips with very little context. Assignment instructions are a confusing mess. He talks about having good grammar, but then gives you assignment sheets with spelling mistakes riddled throughout. Don't buy the textbook til midterm/final.

Very tough! Way too quiet!

Avoid taking this class with Christian if you can. He is a nice enough guy, but by far the worst educator Ive ever had. He has very few assignments and tests so they are each worth a large portion of our mark. The feedback he gives is completely pointless and he will give you a very poor grade simply for having a different opinion than him.

AVOID Worst prof ever. And I dont say this because I got a poor grade. I came out of the class with 71. Christian takes off marks on assignments without explaining why, and if you ask him he doesnt give you an answer. You can try your hardest on any assignment, but your mark will not reflect your good/hard work. His lectures are pointless. AVOID.

Make sure to sit near the front because he talks really quietly, even with his mic on. He's a really tough grader and doesn't allow for a lot of wiggle room on assignments. Lectures are extremely boring and very long.

stay away from him worst prof ever

Worst prof I have ever had!! Lectures were all over the place and he read straight from the textbook even though he assigned the reading for homework. Couldnt understand because he talked to quite. Takes marks off for grammar when he actually just has a different opinion. I would suggest sucking up to him and not using your own opinion.

Not a good experience at all. He gives no direction for assignments, lectures are all over the place and it is hard to understand what he is saying, he is a really tough grader and will not give you an explanation as to why he gives you the grade he does. If you ask for help you will not receive it. I debated dropping out halfway through semester.

Worst professor i have ever seen. For first time i m getting 50% marks. His explanation for cutting marks are not relevant and satisfying. If u wanna fail than only take hus class.

Anyone who uses the term "anti racism journey" is someone I dont want to be lectured by

Thompson is very racist towards white people. A lot of his lectures were dominated by anti-white rhetoric. Can't handle criticism of his racism. He is kind enough, but is very opinionated and is not clear on why you're wrong (if you are) and how to improve. Don't ruin an otherwise great class with this bad prof.

3 hour classes with 0 breaks. It is hard to focus as he barely engages. Grades papers very tough!!

I do not recommend this class. 1. Far too many textbooks, readings, and films assigned. 2. Classes are spent reading his notes, which one could do at home. They aren't lectures. 3. Marks very hard on papers. Pros: Exams are open-book, which is nice. A mostly friendly dude unless you walk in late or ask a question he deems a waste of class time.
