I was fortunate enough to take French 142, French 134, and Global Studies 110A & 110B (in Paris) with Professor Thomas, and he is by far the best professor I have had at UCLA. His lectures/discussions are lively, stimulating and interesting. He has the unique ability to make everyone feel comfortable while also challenging the class to think critically and participate. He also does not give unnecessary busy work/assignments, and instead focuses on final papers and discussions, which I appreciated and took great value from. He is also incredibly approachable and genuinely cares about his students, so I felt very comfortable coming to office hours and asking questions. UCLA would benefit from having more dedicated and passionate faculty like Professor Thomas.
