Even though Thomas is nice, he does not TEACH you. He goes through problems without telling you what he's doing or why. So you don't learn anything and can't apply it to other problems. Get ready to teach yourself everything. He makes the most simple algebra problems very difficult. I got extremely frustrated with this class. Would not recommend.Rate My Professors ↗
He was not a good teacher, his tests were really hard but he didnt teach us at all. When he tried to explain things he made then way more complicated than they needed to be.Rate My Professors ↗
Thomas Edwards teaches like hes showing off what he knows without telling you what hes even doing. It was very hard to follow him on even the most basic equations or tasks.Rate My Professors ↗
Does not teach all materials needed in tests or homework. When asked questions, will sometimes ignore them or actively choose not to answer them. Very important to use textbook to teach yourself. Exam reviews sometimes don't correlate with actual exam content. Ask the TAs for help. Good luck.Rate My Professors ↗
Horrible! If your taking Math 112, be prepared to struggle. He do not know how to teach at all, and takes points off exams and quizzes for the simplest mistakes! Worst professor by far!Rate My Professors ↗
95% of the material he covers is irrelevant to homework/tests. I found it is best to seek the help of TA's and to just learn the math yourself from the book in order to do well. His time management in class is terrible since he will only cover bits and pieces of what he is trying to teach.Rate My Professors ↗
