Comment:
umm.. i have to say he is very knowledgeable of what he is teaching, but he give you no clue of what is on the test. The lectures are sooooo long, and boring. All the powerpoint is not useful for the test. Also, he wants you to know all the vocabulary on the charter, and prepare for filling the blank on the quiz test.

Comment:
Good teacher although he is a little vague on what the tests are going to be like. The only reason you need the book is so you can do the homework each week. Only one assignment due each week and the lab isn't hard at all. Take if you're looking for an easy Science and Lab

If you're interested in dinosaurs you should definitely take this class. The professor really enjoys dinosaurs and will help you out with any concerns you have. But this class is really hard. You definitely need to go to class and pay attention. I'd still recommend it to anyone though.

Amazing teacher! I made Cs on the first few test and ended up with an A. Material is actually very interesting! He is such a nice guy and doesn't want you to fail, but you have to study. Studying=Easy A. I would take this class over again if I could. Awesome science credit. Professor is funny too! The rude ppl in class should have dropped :)

Professor Thompson loves dinosaurs but does not interact with student very well. He takes attendance everyday both lecture and lab. Does not review or tell you what is going to be on the exam. If you are expecting this class to be an easy A do not take this class he will make you work for your grade!!!

Comment:
A knowledgeable professor, but not the best lecturer. Does not involve students in any questions or discussions. Lecture not consistent with the tests. Use his PPs to study and be attentive to details! Homework every week, unexpected quizzes once in a while. Not easy to connect to, but overall a nice guy who is trying his best.

GREAT Professor! He was funny and kept this class entertaining. His notes (powerpoints) were everything you needed to read and it was on tests. So you could take notes or just read. He is fun, interesting, and knows his subject! Take him for an easy science credit!

Comment:
Expecting at best a "C" in this class & received a "B". If you attend the lecture, do 75% of the hw,& show up for all the labs and do about 90% of those assignments you will pass this class apparently!Only studied chapter summaries for tests & failed a couple, but he gives you opportunities to recover!His extra credit raises your total grade 5pts!

Comment:
I took his Geology summer course and it was a lot of work.Not his fault just a vast amount of material. No need to show up to every class.Very knowlegable but can go off on tangents. Just read the chapters do the vocab and attend the labs and you will do fine. Does give a curve as long as no one wrecks it.I got an A even though I bombed 1 test.

Dr. Thompson is a great professor who does his best to make this class fun, interactive and interesting. If you have any interest in Dinosaurs, fossils, and information of the world at that time, this is the class for you. Dr. Thompson is fair on his tests and wants his students to do well.
