Awful

Professor Thompson is late to every class and disorganized. She never knew how to work blackboard, so we couldn't add our assignments multiple times. She doesn't replies to emails. It's been three weeks since the last class and she still hasn't put in any grades. She always has an excuse for everything.

Average

Professor Thompson's class is easy. However, it's a stressful A because she's very unorganized, even if this was a hybrid class. She never grades anything on time. She gave three papers, but I didn't get a grade on the first two papers until the last week. She never answered any of my emails too. Take this class if you prioritize your GPA instead of learning, because I didn't learn anything in this class.

Good

Professor Thompson's class has lots of reading but those were easy. She'll provide most of them, which is great. On the other hand, she was almost always late, disorganized and the sorting was a little slow. However, she cares about essays, especially MLA and puts up a discussion forum with interesting content. Also, she's very nice and understanding, but needs to manage her classes better. Or maybe teach one class less?

Awful

She's always late and she's very unclear about assignments and deadlines. This was a hybrid class and she doesn't seem to know her stuff. She takes almost four months to grade essays while also assigning other essays. Overall, she's just doing a lot of work, and I don't feel like she helped me improve my writing.

Awesome

Professor Thompson's class is an easy A. There may be a decent amount of weekly work. However, none of it is hard and will never take you more than thirty minutes a week. In addition, the teacher really cares and tries to make the class attractive and fun. Midterm and finale are very easy, so is the homework. I suggest you don't listen to other reviews.

Poor

I took Professor Thompson's class as a hybrid. I wish I just took it online. It was a waste of time to come to the lectures once a week. Because of the virus, it ended up an online class with no lectures, which was great. Even if the homework seems like a lot, it doesn't take that long to finish it and it's easy. Overall, this course is an easy A, but the professor was boring.

Awful

Professor Thompson's professionalism leaves much to be desired. She's consistently tardy to her classes. She offers excuses for her lateness without fail. Furthermore, she neglects to respond to emails, and as the semester draws to a close, none of the essays have been graded. While her lectures are engaging and the readings interesting, her work ethic is reminiscent of that of a middle schooler.
