Dr. Thornton is a fun and incredibly engaging professor. He explains difficult concepts in very clear and easy to understand language. He is always willing to go out of his way to accommodate students, whether they are struggling with the material or they already know it all and are looking to progress further.

Comment:
Dr. Thornton is hands down one of the best professors at JSU. Game Design II is an unconventional class but you're able to explore concepts that you truly care about, and he is always there to help and give amazing advice and feedback. If you have the chance to take ANY class with him, do it. You won't regret it!

Absolute favorite teacher at JSU. He has a great personality and makes the class fun to come to, but its not an easy class at all. You have to practice outside of class, he says it all the time, if you dont youll end up with a D or C like me. All the assignments are online except the test, but these are not easy either, lots of bonus to it saved me

First part he moved very fast. Then he slowed down. His class is very interesting for the non computer majors who have to have his class.

One of the best teachers at JSU. He actually cares about his students and his job. If you ask him a question, he will take the time out to answer it, and will even sit down with you to fix any problems in a program.

Comment:
He's a self-professed "computer geek," but his comic relief makes the class interesting. He can keep my attention enough for me to actually learn something about computers. It seems like he enjoys his job and doesn't take himself or the class so seriously, which actually makes the class enjoyable and laid-back.

If you go to JSU 4 or 5 years and don't take this guy you're missing out. Punctuates everything he says with "I LOVE IT!" or "OUTSTANDING!" A laugh riot. Oh, and the tests are a little harder than you'd imagine but not THAT bad.

This is probably the only guy on earth who could make a computer class funny! He's hilarious and a great teacher. TAKE HIM for info tech, most of the other teachers for this class take it too seriously and make it to hard, but he teaches it well while still making it fun!

An amazingly funny guy! He will make you laugh so hard because he always makes fun of "computer geeks" I probably attended 30% of the class bc there is no attendance policy and still got an A! His tests aren't all that easy, but he gives you lots of available bonus and curves them! A nice guy!

Mr. Thorton is so nice, all of your assignments are in class and if you turn in your notes he will give you extra credit. Plus he curves his test and gives you a chance for 10 extra credit points on his tests.
