Worst professor ever. Has really high attitude and gets salty if you ask him questions. He is like a pissed off old guy who will get mad. Doesnt teach right. You would hardly understand what he is trying to explain

He's a really good professor for all the engineering classes. Just be prepared to show up and work hard, and you'll get a good grade! His office hours are very helpful if you want to stop by for any question regarding projects, tests, homeworks, etc. He will definitely go out his way to help you out 100%. Trust me, he is awesome!!

Comment:

I think Mr. Thomason is a really nice person, and he's really a good teacher who challenges you think and solve problems. I would recommend taking his class if you're doing engineering. Just attend the lectures and work out the problems when he does them. It's really not a bad class if you paid attention. I really built my work ethics in his class

I like him! He is straight forward. He doesn't say or do too much extra, or stray from subject unless it's something he thinks is cool. better than other counter-productive teachers, I say.

Comment:

Guy is a total joke of a teacher. Can't use notebook paper, even for writing text. Gets angry when you need help, and clearly has no speaking skills. Assumes you have an entire catalogue of formulas memorized, and uses extremely obtuse logic for solving problems. Overall, his terrible attitude and horrible speaking makes him my worst teacher ever.

Comment:

First, his lectures are almost unbearably boring. PAY ATTENTION, work the problems while he does them on the board, and ask questions if you have any. He grades as much if not more on effort than on the actual test scores. If all you do is screw off on facebook or play flash games prepare to change majors, 'cause you won't pass his classes.

Incredibly boring, speaks in a monotone, often with the lights down low.Assigns math problems that he is unable to perform, tests are questions he cannot do . He gets lost in algebra I and geometry, and does not know trig, yet test questions require these.

I've had to share some words with this man on a couple occassions. Word from other teachers he doesn't seem to get along with anybody. He thinks he's a know-it-all but then he doesn't even teach, he's just a baby-sitter. If you get him, just don't even bother talking to him. It won't make a difference.

This is the worst professor I think I will ever have. He is never prospered for class and if you go to new river and are taking the engineering transfer program he is your advisor but when you go to ask for advice he says if all up to you and that he canâ€™t give advice. I would never recommend taking him.

This was a egr graphics class and we learned very little about graphics. We spent a lot of time doing matlab and a project about pumping water. There was so little graded work that I had no idea what my grade would be at the end of this class. There is no graded home work, 2 test and the final poorly defined project. Good luck with this guy.
