Awful

The slides of Professor Thomas were very confusing. He did not do a good job explaining the material. Learning catalytics questions seem not familiar to us at all. The class did a lot of outside reading. However, he only posted the essential reading a few days before the exam. So, I often found myself trying to cram the material two days before the exam. He made the class unnecessarily difficult.

Poor

Professor Thomas' study guides were very long and contain every single thing he mentioned in class, but they were not on the power point, which is what he lectures from with no notes. Exams had some easy questions and some had extremely specific questions that aren't relevant to general course concepts. He's knowledgeable but his lectures were boring and exhausting.
