He is one of those professors you can talk too he demonstrated exceptional professional abilities, particularly in creating an engaging and approachable learning environment. His teaching style was clear and well-structured, making complex material accessible and easy to understand
His class is very easy and he is very respectful towards everyone. However, it may be a little hard to pay attention in class the whole time.
He is a good professor and he will look out for you if you look put for yourself as well.
Very helpful and accepts late work. Very interesting lectures.
Professor Thomas was a great teacher this semester, and I highly recommend him to other students. He had interesting lectures, offered plenty of help to students, and was even open to working with them in his class when going through struggles in school.
great teacher overall, i just have problems catching on because i learn different from others but was a great class.
Dr.Thomas was a good professor and very easy to work with all the work was posted so it was easy access syllables was very accurate
One of the best teachers I've had during the first semester. The lessons were great, and I really wish I would've come to class more often.
Easy to listen to. Explains concepts in a understanding way.
I want others to think that Professor Thomas was one of the best teachers I had this semester because he was an great under stander and he like to help out students in needs for stuff people wouldn't understand like an assignment or homework. He gives off the best advice for you to continue on with your learning skills and helps you reach your goal
The course was very easy, most of the work is online and easy to understand. The lectures in class were mostly related to the assignments that you were preparing to do.
He was very good at explaining how to the work which made it easier for me to do work. His lecture is very understandable.
you were a cool dude who was very respectful and understand of the kids there. your lesson was great and every helpful with the quizzes and other work we had to do.
Now Dr. Thomas is actually a great professor, even though I occasionally zone out, he has great enthusiasm for the class which with keep you involved with the class lectures. To be honest I could never see him not being positive, He will get back quick. Also, with the best descripted assignments. Will choose his class again, and seems great to know
I would definitely take his course again 8/10 Great professor
1.showing images so we can get an actual visual of what was going on, work being all online, it made work easier instead of having to worry about papers. 2. maybe change the location of the classroom; it is usually overly hot in the class. 3.There was nothing that should be removed, everything was smooth and not that complicated
When it comes to being in this class you always will feel seen. Professor Thomas is very kind and understands if something comes and need extra time. I never had an issue with my grades and if I did he will also accommodate my needs based on the situation.I would love to have him as my professor again.
In this course, you can feel Professor Thomas' passion for history, and the way he presents it is phenomenal. It's a classroom where you feel seen, heard, and respected. The lectures incorporate various representations and appeal to all types of learners. I'd recommend this class to anyone.
Professor Thomas brings history to life with his engaging and dynamic teaching style. The classroom is inclusive, and his lectures cater to all learning styles. I highly recommend this course.
This professor makes history interesting, the work is manageable, and I would definitely recommend this class to other freshmen
I really enjoyed Professor T's history class, as it was easy to follow, and the content was very understandable. The PowerPoint reviews and having only two assignments per week made the class manageable, and I appreciated your clear teaching style. I think the class could be more engaging with some hands-on activities.
I love that he will go over assignments, if you do not understand them. Also, his homework is pretty easy, it takes maybe 30 mins to an hour! His lectures are great; he tries to make them fun and tries to use real life examples like movies.
He's great! Took history online, but it was never difficult to get in touch. He explained every assignment clearly and worked for you 100%, would recommend.
I highly recommend this professor. He has a teaching technique that is very helpful and not at all too difficult to grasp onto.
Professor Thomas is a great teacher. He always gave a good grading window along with clear directions for every assignment. If you had questions he was always an open ear to help with anything. I would recommend any student at Virginia State to have him as your professor.
Was very personal-able and open to answering all questions.
Took an online course with Professor Thomas, work was straight forward & he made it so that you're able to complete work as far ahead as you may like.
Great teacher man just wants the best for you
Honestly the class is not bad I just hate how he grades things especially with it being a fully online class. Also, it's really hard trying to figure out how to contact him you have to go under all this stuff and then click his name he doesn't have his email listed in the syllabus which does not make sense.
Easy to work with
He is really understanding, I had him for 2 semesters at Virginia State University, and each time I left his class I always felt like I learned something new and he always found ways to not make the class so boring which was really nice. He is overall a really good teacher.

Great professor! The coursework is manageable, and since it's an online class, he provides plenty of opportunities to submit assignments for reasonable credit. I really appreciate the flexibility and the supportive learning environment. I would highly recommend him!
Professor was attentive and always there if confused or unsure on any materials. He also kept his assignments unlocked throughout the year so you could catch up if behind. All in all, he's a great history teacher.
The website keeps resetting as I type. So, here is an overview as quick as possible. Professor Thomas will explain the correct answer and why something is viewed the way it is in historical context. You also have the ability to work ahead! Use this to your advantage! Amazing couse and even better professor!
The professor was great! The class wasn't difficult, and the material was easy to follow. There were no overwhelming assignments or exams, and the content was well-organized. The professor's teaching style was clear, and they made the learning experience comfortable. Overall, it was a smooth class, and I appreciated the simplicity of it.
This professor was overall very concise with direction but very considerate when it's comes to turning work on time. With a clear grading criteria and easy access to material.
I took professor Thomas' Hist 122 class SUM25 for a credit and it was a breeze. He provided us with a clear grading criteria, simple and understandable directions, and quite easy assignments. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone looking for extra credits. I would definitely choose him as a professor again.
For the summer course, I had 3 assignments per week based on the reading and the final was an essay.
He gives many opportunities for extra credit and separates his work to where it's not too heavy.
this class was fun and I would totally do it again
Professor Thomas is a great teacher who carefully chooses content that keeps one engaged even through online summer courses. He is a fair grader and he gives constructive feedback with the intention to help you grow. I wholeheartedly recommend him.
I knew this would be kind of hard for me because I'm a hands on learner but the reading were good but unfortunately I got into a car accident this summer that caused me to fall behind i do feel like if I took this class again I would Ace it. But for the most part professor Thomas is good at what he does and does care about his students.
The Professor is very accessible and returns emails in a timely manner.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Very easy to communicate with and understanding.Being able to take time to read and understand material in an appropriate time that helped me a lot.I don't think any elements should be removed the pace and work schedule is easily adaptable!!!
Professor Thomas is a "pro-student" instructor. He saw that some students were struggling with the final project and gave an alternative assignment to give students a chance to succeed.
He actually cares about the quality of your work. Make sure you submit your work on time and that it looks efficient. Great teacher ! Good luck.
Good chill professor
I enjoyed this class he's was understanding and patient Whaat i lied most about the class was how he slit the project up into different modules it was easier to navigate. What i wish he had was a way of studying before quizzes like a study guide or flash cards other than that a the course was great.
You can do the work at your own pace between when the course starts and ends. Even tho the class is online you still get feedback from the professor and they interact with the students/
This professor creates and demonstrates a strong command of the subject matter and is highly effective at conveying complex concepts in a clear and accessible manner. Their teaching style is organized and engaging, and honestly I quite appreciate that .
He will work will you even gives extra credit !
I took this class as a summer class and it was great. He gave a lot of assignments but it was good because they were worth a lot of points . The work was very easy to understand and complete.
Professor Thomas is very straightforward,He also gives great feedback and will allow you to do extra credit if you need to. Gives a week to do assignment before the due date.
He was overall a good professor. He grades more on the tougher side, but he gives amazing feedback. He also has many extra credit opportunities, that are quick and easy to do.
Dr. Thomas is a really cool professor who finds creative ways in making assignments and also has a way of never making assignments too overbearing or overwhelming. I submitted every assignment learning something new, as opposed to just worrying about what grade I got.
Great Professor! Very knowledgeable and very empathetic when it comes to academics and personal life. Definitely recommend this professor if you're looking for a professor that is very supportive and accommodable!
I liked how the weekly assignments were broken down into manageable sections it made it easier to stay on track. -Taiana
This course was clear, consistent, and well-structured. Readings and assignments were challenging (JUST A LOT of reading and research) but manageable. Weekly feedback from the instructor was very helpful and supportive. As an online class, interaction was limited, but overall I felt guided and learned a lot. Highly recommend.
Great communication ,a little lenient
Great communication ,Great person
Overall pretty good teacher. I think he could've stated in the syllabus that the work had to be done by the due dates because it made it seem like the work could be done on your own leisure. The workload is pretty calm and if you need an online history course I would recommend him.
Overall, a good teacher. The grading policy in the syllabus needs to be straighter forward because it seemed like the work could be done at your own leisure, but it wasn't so some of my first assignments were late. He gives good feedback when you turn work in and isn't that harsh of a grader.
Fantastic class. I really liked his inclusion of an explanation on each assignment we have during the weeks. This really helped me understand history a bit better, especially coming from someone who has never found interest in the subject.
He's a very good professor. Very easy class, and he's helpful he directs you to greatness.
It was a pleasure to be in Professor Thomas's history class this semester. The class was very informative and easy to understand. Professor Thomas provided lots of material to help with given assignments and was always available and responded in a. timely manner when contacted. Overall 10/10 class.
had a bunch of projects just overall good teacher.
He is very understanding and will answer any questions you may have about the course. I would recommend this class to anyone.
For the students who are looking to join Professor Thomas's class, I would say go for it. The classwork, test and even extra credit isn't hard at all.If you perhaps miss an assignment he would let you make up for it or even if you did an assignment wrong he'll either let you fix it and re grade the assignment or give you feedback! Great Professor!
Overall, the elements of the class that worked well and should be kept include the interactive discussions, the real-world case examples, and the opportunities to apply concepts through practical activities—these made the material engaging and relevant.
Overall a very good professor. i took the class online work was fairly easy and manageable. Assignments are clear, and always has opportunities for extra credit.
just do the work
What I would say about this professor is that everything he assigns helps you throughout the semester, and the work is not challenging.
Throughout this course, several elements were particularly effective and helped me understand the evolution of civilizations from the 1500s to the present. The focus on major scientific, industrial, political, and economic revolutions made it easier to see how different historical forces shaped the modern world.
This professor explains informative information well and make sure to answer students questions throughly .
I'm glad I chose to take this course with this professor. The syllabus was very to the point, the workload wasn't too heavy, and the rubric was easy to follow. This class progressed at a steady pace, the professor provided good feedback when needed, and he graded work promptly.
good professor i would take his course again.
Very nice and understanding professor, and care about the work yo0u do and gives great feedback.
Very understanding of the fact that I had three jobs. Very easy to work with. Very easy to contact and responds quickly. As long as you put in the work, he will work with you.
He is helpful. Being that this course is online, that is all I got. Helps in a timely manner as well.
This history course was excellent. professor Thomas teaches clearly through engaging lectures and always provides helpful, detailed feedback on assignments. he never leaves students guessing and are quick to offer support whenever needed. Overall, a very effective and supportive instructor.
Great teacher, very helpful and understanding.
Professor Christopher Thomas is amazing. He's a very understanding professor and will work with you if you work with him. Pr. Thomas doesn't bomb his students with a ton of homework or tests. He cares for his students, and this is why I consider him one of the best History Professors.
I think the professor is a chill guy and that as you get your work and on time and in detail their no problem with the case of failing his class and make sure that you do will in the making. Plus, you'll learn a lot with the class.
Class isn't hard if you pay attention and he also helps with assignments if there's any confusion. Class is easy and chill.
Great history teacher! Never was bored extremely engaging and fun for the most part!
Professor Thomas was a great teacher. He was easy to communicate with and gave great feedback after every assignment. He also gave extra credit opportunities at the end of the semester.
Professor Thomas was a lecture-based professor who taught in a structured yet supportive way. He was kind and considerate, always understanding when students had other courses or unexpected circumstances that might slow them down. Professor Thomas also offered extra credit opportunities and often provided partial credit for late assignments.
He tried his best to make the information digestible, but he was not very personable.
Dr. Thomas provides clear feedback and instructions, responds promptly to emails, and allows an appropriate amount of time to complete assignments. Best asynchronous teacher I've had.
Professor Thomas wants the best for his students, and he lectures very well.
I think my professor was really good at explaining the course material.
Very nice calm and collective professor does an amazing job at teaching !
Great professor overall, but A LOT of homework. The due dates he provides you with are very important if you want to get all of your work in time so do not slack.
He was a great instructor; his class was the easiest. I would definitely take his class again if I could; he taught me so much.
Don't fall behind, get to class and you'll be fine!
I would definitely take his class again; it was fun and very interesting. I learned things I never knew or would've thought of.
My professor was a good teacher for this online course. He explained the material in a clear way, and the class was straight forward and easy to understand. At times I felt like he graded me a little hard, but it pushed me to pay attention to the details and learn more. Overall, I appreciated his teaching style and the structure of the course.
Professor Thomas I feel is a very good instructor you have to pay attention to the instructions given maybe read them three times to get it all in. His grading is a bit stiff, but he justifies it in his response. I had wanted to take the second half HIST-123 but classes were full, but I will be back. Thank you, Professor Thomas.
