Comment:
Ha - maybe 105 wa an easy A, but if you were taking classes for a major, that was NOT the case. Dr. Thompson was THE best teacher I ever had. He won teacher of the year while I was there and deserved it. Very passionate about the subject, and an all-around good person. It's been thirty years, and I still remember him fondly enough to come rate him.

Utter cake class. Take it with the lab for your Group D requirements. ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES. The distance learning section is a bit scattered, but probably even easier than the class version. And the material is actually quite interesting.

Comment:
Class was a joke..never went to class, never even read. The study guide he gives out is better than the notes he gives during lecture and the test is based totally from it. Got an A. If u want a free GPA boost with the least amount of seriousness and effort required, take this class!

Easy class, skipped a lot, didn't read the book. Gives a study guide before each exam, if you know them you'll know what to do. Four multiple choice quizes make up 65% of your grade, you drop the lowest one. The final is 25% and is somewhat tricky, old exams will help also if you can get them.

Class is easy- tests are straight from studyguide. Don't bother reading- just look at diagrams in book.

Comment:
(Wilmington campus) Passionate, but scatterbrained ("I forgot to grade your exams..."). Material is boring, but that's not his fault. Lectures a bit hard to follow. Somewhat unclear on how to prepare projects and what will be on exams. Good guy, loves to talk geography! Group project and 3 exams.

Not a hard class at all. The best thing to do is to go over the study guide and go to class at least once a week and you'll do fine. Don't bother reading, everything on the tests is from the lecture.

Comment:
He's really boring, but he loves his class. I have fallen asleep because he is such a bad lecturer though. I know he can't help it, but the stuttering drives me crazy. He seems like a nice guy, but he isn't the best prof.

Awesome guy, very personable. The class is easy, however, you do have to look over the study guide the night before the exam in order to pull off a B. Some advice: search UD's site for older versions of his exams, they have similar questions.

This is in no way an easy A...I fell into that trap. You will have to study. Lectures painful but he's a good guy.

Nice guy. Go into his office sometime and talk to him. If you read the study guides--and nothing else--you are guaranteed a B in the class. Interesting material.

Definitely not an easy A--I don't know if you can even get one if you work your but off, but even if you don't do any work you'll get a B if you just read the study guide prior to the test. He comes out with some pretty funny quotes
