Tony is by far the most caring, kind-hearted, and knowledgeable professor Ive met. Hes very passionate about Photography and teaches it well. He does not want his students to fail and will go the extra mile to ensure that. Hes super helpful, gives great feedback, and works directly with his students for clear demonstrations. Recommend for sure!

Prof Thompson is an amazing photography professor! You can tell he really knows his stuff and love it! He is a little monotoned and reserved but if you make the effect to talk with him he will really help you out on your projects. You definitely have to put in the effort and participation matters but the overall class isnt hard. Take him!

Tony is a gem. Ive taken him for 3 classes now. Hes inspirational and always willing to help. He wants you to go above passing, so you need to work for an A. He wont just give those out. He is more than willing to help you when you need it. Definitely take him for 4x5 and Studio!

Comment:
When Prof. Thompson assigns readings on Blackboard, you should actually read them and take notes. He likes to give pop quizzes. He seems to give everyone equal respect from the beginning, but he has a finely-calibrated BS meter. Take his class seriously because he's teaching the fundamentals.

Tony is super caring and willing to help you if you put the effort forward to seeking his assistance. I took this as my first film class and he was more than willing to work with me and catch me up to speed on things I was behind on.

Comment:
I don't know what happened to prof Thompson. He has great reviews but this semester was awful. Extremely hard grader for being a 100 class. Extremely monotone and boring. Expects you to know everything without teaching anything. 2 pop quizzes. Takes this class way to seriously. Read the whole book if you want a chance to pass. Awful awful awful.

Prof. Thompson is a really friendly guy who gives interesting lectures. He expects that you don't hand in half-baked photo assignments, but he grades fairly. This is an intro class, so don't sweat it. Would recommend to anyone.

Best professor I've had so far. Hillarious, energetic, and passionate. I switched my major after a year, and he is one of the reasons why I am coming back.

Good teacher... Readings are somewhat boring but class discussions kept it interesting. He is a very fun teacher. Not too hard of a class, 3 short papers, 2 long ones, and a final project.

He is an amazing teacher. I wasn't interested in Liberal education before I took his class and I learned sooo much! As long as you do your work and try hard you'll do fine in his class. His really knows what he's talking about.

i like tony for his high concept ideas and his unselfish giving of praise- but he's a really hard grader for being so seemingly nonchalant about assignments.

Take this class with Tony and you'll suddenly be throwing around very intellectual concepts like nothing. He's challenging, but makes you want to learn.

tony is an awesome guy. i think it is best that you try to get on his good side to begin with, but he is really fair and gives you as much information as he can to help you with everything you do. he's very helpful and he is really an amazingly dedicated and talented photographer!
