Awesome professor loves what he does. I highly recommend him, if you want an "A" or "B" take his class!!! NOt alot of homework and the homework he does handout is a cake walk. His tests are also multiple choice 35 questions tops. Makes class interesting, keeps you focused. Very funny, great guy, loves what he does. Highly recommended.

professor Thompson is by far the best teacher you can ever take. he is the most layed back, cool professor at RCC. he probably has more game than a lot of his students..ha. and his class is not hard at all. show up, participate, and recieve your A, or B if you're lazy. bad part of class is group presentations but they are easily graded and not bad

Thompson is a great professor. He leans to the right a little bit but other than that, his class is kick back and enjoyable. The only part that was not fun was the debates, but his is usually very leniant when grading. He encourages discussion, helps his students, and keeps it interesting. Though he is clearly a conservative, his class is fun.

So boring, I needed 5 cups of coffee to stay up. Easy as hell, class is basically an easy A as long as you a moderate amount of work and use your common sense. He's incredibly boring, but I give him credit. He's on the extreme right, but he doesn't make liberals feel uncomfortable. However, he bores me to tears.

I've taken Professor Thompson's class twice. Intro to Soc and Family/Relationships. I loved him, he's very engaging and helps all of the criteria relate to you. He is my favorite teacher at MVC and I would recommend him to everyone. You have to have the book for the study guides, if you finish the study guides you will get an A in the class.

As long as you do at least the minimum requirements, you'll pass. He offers a lot of extra credits and it really boosts your grade. He gives the study guide a week before the exam and the study guide is literally the same as the exam.

He is a very interesting professor makes the class understandable and short to the point, with real life examples. Read the book and there are group quizzes that help you with the tests. Loved the class and his enthusiasm.

Friendly but very conservative religiously and politically so pushes his anti-gay, anti-feminist, pro-gun, pro rightwing agenda using extremist "experts" & NRA propaganda as proof. When someone tried to correct his misinformation he passive/agressively derided them to the class. Got a good grade but hated his classes. Other soc profs are better.

Felt cheated by this professor. I wanted to learn Sociology not his agenda. Spent the whole semester pushing his rightwing/conservative agenda using obscure or extremist right-wing propaganda as "proof" without presenting mainstream experts. One woman in class nicely tried to correct a lie he told & he made fun of her the rest of the semester.

Mr. Thompson is amazing! He gives great interactive lectures that makes the class go by fast. His tests are multiple choice and are easy to study for with the help of a study guide with the exact questions. Definitely an easy A and I highly recommend him.
