Took COM101 online. Not sure where my discussions went wrong. I had the correct number of entries and I had an A in the course and my final grade was a A- at the end. Other than this it is a fun course as long as other students take part in the discussion. I feel my grade suffered because I had to few to discuss with.

He is a very nice guy. He talks about himself and his wife and grandkids all the time. Lots of take home quizzes that he doesn't check, just gives 100s on. LIBERAL TO THE MAX! He either agrees or disagrees with you. If he thinks your wrong he will say you are wrong but thats your opinion. Overall a very great man and a great teacher.

If you like going to a class where you spend 75% of the time talking about absolutely nothing worthwhile, this is the class for you. He likes to talk about himself and all his amazing accomplishments. Comes across as a little cocky and snobbish. He's nice, but the class is a little incoherent - he goes off on too many tangents.

He knows what he is talking about, but usually he talks about random things and always brags about himself. I'm sure he is proud of what he accomplished in life but he seems to rub it in and maybe come across like he is better than everyone else. other than that the class is really easy, all the tests are take home just go to class, you will pass

Tom is probably one of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. He is a very caring professor and will go out of his way to help any student.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the courses I have taken with Tom. He is a professor who is extremely experienced. While he does take a bit of time to tell stories and express the joy he has for his life, I find I don't mind too much. I'd rather learn about my teacher on top of learning the material only. Tom is a teacher I would recommend to students.

One of the easiest A's I've ever earned. Classes however were politically slanted to fit his views and some lessons were one-sided. Talked too much about himself and his family and seemed very egotistical. Would recommend because it's difficult to fail this class. But it can be frustrating if you don't agree with him.

He's a polite and kind man. But polite and kind does not a great professor make. Like the one reviewer wrote below, he's very pompous and self-congratulatory. If he actually taught the subject matter for which he's supposedly such an "expert", perhaps he could be great. But he didn't.
