He is a good teacher. THe only thing is that he doesn't give the class. He talks about everything else but speech. He focuses on how well you prepared for your speeches. Sometimes he is a little bit discriminative, but he is a nice person and wants to help.

I was not impressed with Dr. Thornton as a teacher. His classes were a matter of him discussing such matters as romance, love, relationships - which were appealing to the 18 - 21 year-old females in his class. At no point in time did he explain the concepts in the course.

I took this class during the summer term. The class was enjoyable, and pretty easy if you simply prepare your speeches. The bulk of your grade will come from the 3 speeches you give throughout. Quizzes are usually take home, and the final is not bad at all (you get a good review). Attendance is mandatory, but class goes by fast. Easy A.

Totally hot yet extremely arrogant. Dropped the class because there was no structure. He never finished anything he started because we spent the whole time listening to him talk about his life instead of teaching and he acts like everything is a joke. I picked him after reading all the wonderful reviews but was very disappointed. It's probably an easy A, but I felt like he wasn't preparing me at all for speeches. Being in his class was by far my worst experience at Richland.
