Hands down, Tommy Thompson is THE best college Professor. His mastery of the subject matter and genuine love of teaching are the reasons that his students excell in his mathematics courses. He shows a true concern for the student and assures that the student understands. Dr. Thompson is the reason that I chose Math as my major. Thanks Tommy!

Dr. Thompson is a prof that comes along once in a lifetime. He takes the difficult, breaks it down into understandable, & makes it seem easy. He made me want to major in math & I took all the math I could with him because he made it fun and doable. If you can take a class with him, do so! He encourages students to excel and reach for the stars! :)

This professor is a joke. I took it over the mini-mester. The information was somewhat difficult b/c it was coming at you so fast but he turned out to be rediculous when it came to grading. He is very easy but, so if you want an easy A take him, but if you plan on taking math at a higher level go get a professor that actually cares that you learn.

Please take this professor over the minimester!You should expect to work 6 hours a day if you opt to take a 4 hour math course over a break!He places emphasis on learning the subject and less on grades–so you spend 6 hours a day learning the subject and the tests are easy.Even if you fail to take meaning out of the class you can leave with an A.

Take it from me. I am a graduate student who has taken 29 hours of math from 3 different colleges. Tommy was hands down the easiest. My tests where via the internet so there was no showing your work credit/partial credit. But he gave a very big curve for each test. He also replaces your lowest test grade with the final, which was good for me.

I have been with Prof. Thompson for three semesters: 0091, 0093, and Math 1414 College Algebra, and my experience was most rewarding. Dr. Thompson expects nothing but the best and he will bring to light your capabilities and nurture your skills. He requires only that you show up on time, text book at the ready, and prepared to conduct business.

Its the big word but professor is really arrogant. He never respond. Writing him is like texting some hot girl in instagram. Trust me. You will regret and the weird and annoying thing is that he never ever reply if you are in need of help. I dont know what wrong with the people reviewing him and giving 5stars.

Coursework & lectures are strictly online and self-paced. Do the work and you'll pass. The Pearson software allows you to retake assignments & tests to get better grades. He works with you if needed. Get it done & you can get an A. I was initially intimidated by "Stats" but I did very well. If I can, then you definitely can.

I told Calc 2 and the professor is very fair. Doing the homework is very important and the professor doesnt like if you slack off on it. 3 tests 3 quizzes a final and a very reasonable amount of homework. Do the homework and you wont have a problem making a good grade on the exams.

Took this online class and it was great. I took it as a 4 wk course so it was a bit fast paced but very doable. You do have to pay $100 for the online mylab but it is completely worth it. Tests were exremely similar to the hw and quizzes. Best math class I have taken thus far.

If youve struggled with math all of your life like me! Take this professor. I almost didnt apply for my major because I seen statistics was required & I knew there was no way I would pass statistics. . I learned so much & everything including the tests were online. This was my first time getting an A in any type of math class!

I was very hesitant with taking this class online, especially since it was a 3 week course! But, THIS CLASS WAS GREAT! It was ALL on MyMathLab (have to purchase the lab) and it was broken down into sections. Practice assignments are required after each lesson and total of 4 tests! The professor opened course 1 week early, SO START AHEAD! Made an A

If you struggle with math, TAKE THIS CLASS! All assignments are through my math lab (have to purchase, but its worth) and there are only 4 tests! Also, you're able to take each test twice! Highest grade will count. It was very time consuming so start ahead! I took it in 3 weeks and it was ALOT but so worth it!! HINT: exams are SIMILAR to homework!

Was nervous to take during maymester but so glad I did. professor made it easy on us 5 hw assignments 3 quizzes 3 exams and a final exam. Got exempt on the first exam for completing hw early. WILL NOT REPLY TO YOUR EMAILS!! You can't reach him but I honestly did not need to email him for any reasons everything was clearly displayed. Very very easy!

Everything is online, so he doesnt lecture or teach at all. Everything is on MathLabs Plus if you can learn watching old 90s videos go for it. He allows you to take your test twice which helps. Really strict on deadlines. Use YouTube to learn because he doesnt teach at all. So if you can learn and stay on track youll be fine.

Math is not my forte at all, but I worked extremely hard for my B. I would recommend this professor because he is very much fair. He will try to help you and if you don't understand something he will fix the assignment for you. Get 2 chances for all exams. Open book!

I took 8 weeks for an online course but the lecture was not heavy actually. Keep in mind that this course is self-study, so be ready for looking at some explanations from youtube. He gave extra credit if you finished HW on time or early. No tests or quizzes are proctored. Finally, he's a good professor.

Dr Thompson hired someone to teach his online courses for him. When I heard this I was shocked. I took 2 courses from him and one was at the school the other online. The first time I took the course I earned a D so I retook the class online and it was completely different and different emails. He should be fired for this.

This teacher is completely lost in class and is not helpful at all, when the students help the teacher answer the questions there is a problem. Everything is online so going to class is useless as he lets you out super early anyway. There is a lot of homework that requires a lot of time and some old videos for lectures. Be ready to teach yourself.

Most of the work was done online and through ALEKS it was basically a self taught course, so if you don't know something ask for help. He responds to emails but doesn't really get back to you. Overall an ok class for algebra.

I was nervous about taking an online calculus class, but Professor Thompson was amazing! The course was pretty much self-taught, which is helpful because you can work at your own pace. He makes the exams open note, which is very helpful because the exams are exactly like the homework. I totally recommend for an easy calc class! It was a breeze!
