SELECTED COMMENTS

    • "Ms. Thompson was a very valuable teacher in that she was always available if I was having trouble with the material, or just a question on the homework. Her office hours were very beneficial and she was very easy to reach outside of office hours and class. I liked that she graded our tests quickly and gave us time to go look over them and ask questions. You can tell she is very passionate about math and did everything in her power to help her students understand the material. I think most of her tests were very fair."

    • "Sufficient amount of homework was helpful to learning. The style in which she taught class, such as using different colored chalk to emphasize things, was particularly helpful. Returned quizzes and tests within one class period. Always willing to help."

    • "Ms. Thompson is an amazing professor. Her energy is contagious and a good wake-up call in 8AM sessions. She has a good sense of humor and keeps class interesting by keeping a steady pace and solving as many problems as possible. She always returns all quizzes and test scores within 24 hours thereby minimizing post-test stress/anxiety....At the start of every class she briefly reminds us (students) of what we learnt in the prior class and what we should expect to learn in the current class. This flashback-speculative method of instruction adds a lot of organization and structure to the course content and also improves student note-taking. She is among the very best Math professors that I have had to date and I sincerely wish there were more instructors like her."

    • "The professor is very energetic and interested in the material that she is teaching. Test and quizzes are returned promptly usually the next day, and grading is fair."

    • "Ms. Thompson is the cats pajamas."
