i think thompson is a horrible teacher but its not that hard to get a good grade. first off, he doesn't assign homework so ur grade is based on ur midterm and final...but ur final grade can be purely based on ur final if its higher than ur midterm. 2nd..i don't deny that thompson is probably a genius considering he got his phd for harvard, but his teaching methods are bad. he has no notes and he basically draws the same graphs over and over. WHICH MEANS KNOW THE GRAPHS. he's also very boring during his lectures and hard to hear cuz he speaks so soft. the only good thing about this class is he doesn't present too many concepts so cramming is not that big of a problem. if u wanna do well in this class....u've gotta be able to think like him and know what he wants as the answers... if not...don't take him..

Unlike previously stated, Professor Williams is not a fair grader and is nowhere to be found-ever. The TA totally misgraded the exams and although Professor Williams said he would handle the situation he did not. I got a 99 on the midterm so I am being objective and am not upset about my poor score as previously stated by someone else. Instead of taking responsibility for his class Williams has chosen to dissapear and ignore all email and attempts to reach him. It is not his fault that the TA is a horrible grader, but it is his fault for running away from the problem and leaving students no option but to receive whatever incorrect grade they may get.
