Comment:

Easy class overall but her tests are hard b/c of all the details. Often allows group tests tho. assignments are easy but class lectures are so boring. shes hard to understand sometimes when she talks and skips around when talking in material b/c she's so ADD. just do reading/assignments and you'll be fine. i didnt even go to class a lot.

Comment:

I think she may have just been having a rough time during my class, i just don't know. Thornton was a pain. She may be easy but she does not listen to you. She said she had open doors but didn't. She is very strong in her beliefs and often contradicts herself and her teachings, and doesn't listen to your views.

Comment:

I've had Dr. Thorton for three classes and I don't know how anybody can say that she is hard?! Anyway, she's tough on the outside, but a big teddy bear inside. Just "follow the process" HA HA! Go to class, turn in your assignments, don't ask dumb questions, and you'll be fine!

Comment:

I have taken Dr. Thornton for several semesters to include the policy calss and some others. When I first met Dr. Thornton, I first felt intimidated by her, not because I felt threatened or disliked by her. I believe she was one of the few instructors that did not sugar coat issues of (racism, discr

Great teacher. Students don't like Prof. Thornton style because she tells is straight forwarded and give the facts as they are in the history books.

She has always been nice to me and I think that she tries to be helpful. I do think, however, that she is very unclear at times and this can be frustrating.

Comment:

Professor doesn't know what she is talking about -very confusing. Talks to fast. Read the book and teach yourself. She'd fail her own test cuz doesn't know answers. Claims to be open minded but really very opinionated-no open mind ANNOYING pushing view.

Comment:

Horrible lectures (she really has trouble expressing herself). But, she is a nice person on a one on one basis. I'm not exactly looking forward to 368 with her. I've heard 399L was better with her, though.
