Overall this wasnt a horrible class, be prepared for a huge research paper though. One quiz and a discussion or assignment every week and a chapter to read. If youre needing help hes quick to respond with the help. Quizzes are t/f and multiple choice which for me made it harder since I second guess myself, but Id have him as a prof again

He wasn't a bad professor but there is a lot of reading to do and a blog every week along with an assignment and a quiz. I did not like how he took about a week to grade your work, you'll receive a grade by him earliest at 6 days. He's very quick to mark you down for points but takes awhile for the grade which is annoying. I'm glad to be done.

I had professor thomson for my online pols105 class. his lectures are great, but theres a ton of homework. most of the reading i did for the class wasnt on the quizzes, and the tests were beyond confusing. im usually a good test taker, but the way that he words questions is misleading. he messed my grade up and marks down points w no explanation

Professor Thomson was a great online teacher. I took him for POLS 105 and HIST 151 online (7 weeks). It definitely was a decent amount of work. For POLS, you have long discussion posts every module and assignments every other one. A lot of writing, but not difficult. The only hard thing about HIST was the 10 page paper at the end. Would take again!

Just completed my degree at a 4 year school, did some courses at Schoolcraft to keep costs down. This guy is a piece of work. Strikes me as a professor wanna be. Late to grade work. Assignments with no rubric. Seems to be more worried about format as opposed too content. Maybe that is because he cannot comprehend the content.

Professor Thomson was awesome. I took POLS105 online and learned a lot from him. He took the time to video the intro to each week and give you the important nuggets from the teaching. His class in general is easy; quiz, blog, and assignment every week with a mid-term. He wants you to pass with a good grade. Take him and you won't regret it!

Professor Thomson was pretty great and I really enjoyed his online class. Each learning mod is one quiz and one discussion and then there is a book review project and a mid-term essay. I thought it was interesting but also completely manageable and I learned a lot. I'm not sure what my grade is yet but from how it's looking, I'll end up with a 4.0.

The grading in this class is fair, but the instructions for his assignments can be a bit confusing. He will use vocabulary and terminology that can be difficult to understand. Lots of course work and a 10 page research paper at the end. The communication for this class could definitely be better.

Real easy, watch his module videos, read the chapter, and you'll pass this class with an easy 4.0. He tells you everything that is graded and due at the start of the semester and those dates never change. One quiz, one assignment, and one blog every week. The work takes an hour max of the week. Real easy going guy.

He respects others opinions. He was an easy grader and the amount of work per week was very manageable. The assignments were easy and interesting because they were related to current issues. You do have to read a chapter a week and take a quiz but the quizzes were straight out of the text. Also emails back quickly with good explanations and help!!

Nice man, pretty conservative and not afraid to let you know just how conservative he is.. I hope he considers posting more articles for BOTH sides of the argument rather than just articles supporting his beliefs. lots of work so make sure to keep up

Professor Thomson is a great history lecturer. His lectures are pretty long, however, it's very interesting. I never really thought I would enjoy learning U.S. history but Professor Thomson changed my thought! Overall he's a great person and a good teacher. He also gives open note exams.

Professor Thompson is a great teacher. I have taken him twice, once online and this time on campus. He spends time getting to know his students and gives good feedback and if you ask questions before the exam he is more than helpful. He did have a few pop quizzes so prepare but he gives lots of extra credit opportunities and lectures are interestin

He is very knowledgable on the subject and I feel like sometimes that can be difficult for the student because he expects more. But, he was still a good teacher and if you do your work correctly, you should get an A.

He is a pretty great professor. I got an A on every paper, and you have to do a book review for the class. I read the book the day before the paper was due, wrote the paper in less than an hour, and still got an A+. He goes over everything from the book in class so honestly don't bother buying it.
