Comment:

I can not speak for the seated class, but I know for online it was hard for me to learn the material. The articles are confusing and there is little power point and help outside of the textbook. If you do the practice quizzes you will be fine, overall it was not a bad class.

Comment:

I taught myself this course. I am not sure what I am paying for when she was little to no help and I had to read the book for EVERYTHING. I understand students should read the material, but it should not be the only way I learn. Teacher takes way too long to grade and leaves students behind and to understand the material with little help.

This class is designed for you to work your butt off. Dont take this class for an aw, what the heck/easy A. Theres no slideshows during lectures. You barely use the book during class, but youre supposed to read it for assigned reading. If you dont read, say bye to a A or B. She takes a while to grade things, but overall an enjoyable person.

I took her online class. She takes a very long time to grade, but does not grade harshly. The course is not too difficult, just be prepared to read and understand the material. Most of the test questions come from previous chapter quizzes and practice quizzes. Pretty easy if you plan ahead and read.

Comment:

Dr. Morton loves teaching and is a true professional in her area- she allows everyone to voice their opinions. Responds fairly soon to emails/phone calls, and is a pleasant person face-to-face. She's a fairly good choice, but be prepared to read tons of textbook chapters and articles that are confusing.

Comment:

Ms. Morton is one of the laziest instructors I ever had. She did nothing to help students pass her course and made the tests almost impossible to pass. She stayed months behind in her grading, so I never actually knew what my current grade was. It always took her at least a week or more to answer simple emails and often said she never got them.

A lot of reading! The reading can be difficult to understand but not impossible. The quizzes and section tests questions come from previous quizzes online and lectures. She prepares you for tests and your grade reflects your preparation. Almost every question a student had, Morton answered. Great professor but slow to grade work.

Comment:

Doc feels that she knows all but in reality she does know how to teach her information she receives. I question her ideology and the way he teaches. She is apart of this new wave of I don't get paid enough teachers who feel we should learn on our own first then she will teach just a little bit so she can call it teaching the minds. Worst class.

This class is so easy. You see, Mrs. Morton gives you practice quizzes that are just like the test and real quizzes. Impossible not to pass those test. BUT surprisingly, a lot of people do fail the test? It literally takes 5 minutes to study for the test and make an "A"

Comment:

I found this course difficult to do online. I generally take good notes. the only class I have ever done this poorly in was Algebra/Geometry. I do not like math and have test anxiety. Felt grading was too harsh. I though college instructors would want you to succeed and try to help as much as they can.

Do the work and show up and you'll be fine. The class is not hard by any means and an A is feasible.

Comment:

Must read the chapters from the book to pass the class and do well on tests! She is very nice and helpful but fails to post your grades in a timely manner. She also talks most of the class rather off topic and you end up not taking any good notes for the material and are left to get it from the book all on your own.

Expect to read a chapter out of the book as homework every class time. Gives pop quizzes on the chapter you are supposed to read the very next class. I passed thanks to the amount of extra credit she gives.

University level class at a community college. very refreshing considering most Gaston College classes are pretty easy, gets a bad rap for no good reason, would definitely take another class taught by Dr Morton

The class is excellent and the material covered is extremely interesting. Students are expected to study. If you don't study on your own, you won't pass.
