SUCH a nice man.. great humor.. encourages learning.. makes everything interesting..!
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.
Awesome Teacher, kinda gets off topic but knows what hes talking about, wants his students to pass and focuses more on speech quality and how well you prepared for them rather than tests and crap like that (HINT: I PROMISE you will be prepared for his tests)
i love the class and the teacher & infact he is quite handsome too.....100% guarantee by passing with a good garde!
he's the best Speech teacher i ever had, and i recommended to whom ever never takes a speech class before. i promise you that you will get a passed grade.
MAN HE IS FUNNY TAKE HIM BELIVE ME U'LL GET AN EASY A HE DOES HELP STUDENTS TO MAKE IT. I HAD A GOOD TIME IN HIS CLASS. 2 FUNNY MAN
The most fun i've had in a long time. He is very easy, an easy A. Tests are easy and you will be prepared for them.
Men Dr. T is the men everyone should take for speech.VERY EASY..SO MUCH FUn..i can't remeber the last time that i was so intersted and ready to go to class..HE'S FUNNY AND MAKES THE CALSS SO ENJOYABLE. GREAT MEN..DON'T THINK TWICE TO TAKE HIM!!! GO DO IT NOW!!!!
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.
This professor is awesome. Take him you will make an A and you will never fall asleep in class. His quizes are very easy and if you are prepared his test are also very easy. Although he does take attendence everyday.
He keeps class fun and interesting....you won't fall asleep! Minimal work required, easy to get a passing grade.
MUST TAKE HIM. EASY TO GET A++
He... yells... alot. He's just a loud person while teaching. Very fun and energetic though. Quizes almost every week strait out of the book, usually pretty easy. He gives you "reviews" before the midterm, which is really the test. Attendence counts, he usually lets you out early. Good teacher.
so easy!quiz every friday but it is straight from his lecture. easy grading on speeches. if you fail you're a moron
he is hilarious! i loved this class and its not hard!
He is soooooo fine I would do some thing to this man!!! Also he is a good teacher and really down to earth but you still have to get up and prepare and preform your own speeches
He is awesome. Down to earth and real. Must take him, easy A
What can I say, never bought the book, and still passed the class. Easy class.
Wonderful teacher, he really holds your attention. LOL be warned his voice does carry very far.
Very fun and energetic teacher. Always had fun in his class. If you're having a bad day, he can make you laugh, Very passionate about what he does, you can tell. EASY class. Makes it easier to do your speeches. Take him!
WHAT CAN I SAY THIS IS ONE OF THE EASIEST CLASS YOU CAN TAKE..NO HW!! HE IS VERY ENERGETIC AND DOWN TO EARTH! YOU CANNOT FAIL THIS CLASS
i took him summer 1.. n i loved his class.. i was always lookin foward for his class.. he is great and a fun prof! N we didnt have to do too many speeches.. which was a good thing! i will miss his class
This is a bad ass class, we has 4 speechs.It fun and crack me up. One thing was dont talk on cell phone while you do a speech.
GO RED PANDAS!!!!! EASY A IF WORK IS DONE AND ON TIME!! Had him Summer 2--> I enjoy everything in the class: from the speeches, quizzes, to the group projects and impromtu's. He is caring and loving. EXTREMELY FUNNY. ALWAYS CLEAR ON WHAT HE IS GRADING FOR!
absolutely awesome. Easy clear fun. I had him in May mester, I suggest everyone takes fast track of everything its so much easier. He was clear, not hard, taught us what we needed to know. I recieved an A in his class.
OMG! BEST TEACHER ALIVE!! i had him for fall term and i am going to miss his class!! very easy.. the whole class practically becomes family after the term is over! i highly recommend him!! u wont regret it! if your having a bad day.. just go to his class!!!!
I absolutely LOVED Dr.T...he has been my favorite teacher at Richland hands down. He really tought me a lot when being in his class. I was nervous to go up in front of the class to do speeches in class, but he makes you feel so comfortable. He is hilarious and down to earth. He will make anyone smile and i highly recommend every1 to take his class.
best teacher in the world. his class was fun and he teaches very well to your level of understanding. i am glad i took his class.
Dr. T is a very interesting man. Down to earth, funny, and extremely fun to listen to! His class was fantatsic and I am going to take his African American Studies just so that I can be in another one of his classes......
he is the most wonderful teacher I have ever had in life ,he is fun,nice,helpful,down to earth and work with his student in class.on top of all he is fine and hot.I love Dr.T.love the man,he is all good ooooooooooh.
He is a great teacher. I took him for a winter term and he may everyone feel comfortable about speaking in public. The class ended like friends and family. The best class ever, but you did have to work.
he is such a wonderful teacher!... not to mention his looks hahah. i thoroughly enjoyed his class during winter term, and finally got over my fear of public speaking. GREAT GREAT GREAT teacher!!
100% A for all students in class.Never be absence in class.He is very much helpful, friendly and understandable so I suggest every poor students to take this class and get A+++++. Enjoy life with A+. So PLZ..PLZ take him and exclude other speech professor.Take speech class only with him as his name is Artist and he gives all his students A++++
Good professor. He is easy and fun when he teaching. Very helpful on the presentation. very good power point :) I am definitely recommended.
Good teacher.lots of class,group participation.
Dr. Thornton is not hot or fine or awesome but just another professor that teaches at Richland..........
One of my favorite teachers at richland. The class was challenging but in a good way. I felt very accomplished after completing his class. Dr. Thorton is very funny and makes the class feel comfortable before Speeches. If you want to get over your fear of public speaking take his class.
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.
Best teacher i ever had lol....real down to earth...sign up for his class if it isnt full yet.
Hands down Best class and Prof. at Richland. The class is fun and interactive, and u actually end up learning alot either through the vocabs he gives u or the experiences and lessons he teachs. There are alot of spchs to give. But hes Very intellectual not only on his subject but many others. I can honestly says he is one to look up to.True Mentor
This is how you teach...Has a passion for teaching like Muhammad Ali had a passion for Boxing...Pick his class..Pick it..Never experienced any other teaching as effective as his...I got rid of my fear of Speeches...CRAZY
Awesome
VERY good professor. He is interesting, and funny and keeps your attention so you actually learn in his class. He taught my MayTerm class and it didn't feel too rushed. His assignments are fun and you will NOT regret taking his class.
Overall, he was a tremendous help to overcome my fear of public speaking. His critiques of the students speeches were brutal, but honest, he'll give you the best constructive critisism. One of the best professors this school has.
excellent professor. I enjoyed his class a lot, he keeps things fun while at the same time teaches this subject masterfully. I highly recommend this professor to anyone.
Great guy, greater professor. you cant go wrong if you take him
Take this man! He is an awesome professor with a great sense of humor. The last two tests he lets you work in groups and use your books
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.
One of the best classes I've had at Richland I love his sense of humor. My only complaint is I hate the way he grades the speeches its like he gives everyone around the same grade. Like this girl did horrible on her speech and made a 88 I did good and I made a 88
He's a really great professor. I really recommended anyone to take him. One of the student on the first day of school said she wanted to make an C, but she finished the class with an A!
Great Professor! Very easy class. You can share books with other classmates. He makes speech class fun and less stressful because most people are afraid to stand up in front of the class.
All I can say is Dr.T is the business, he is a fun teacher that makes learning enjoyable. He loves to discuss all aspects of life in this class. If you have a good group of peers that like to talk, you will enjoy this class. He Is Awesome...Indeed
easiest "A" you can get and fun matter of fact very fun. very down to earth. test are super easy but yet u can still learn alot. the greatest teacher in my opinion.(take his class) im serious u wont regret it.
Extremely awesome professor! more than enthuastic, hillarious, loud, personable, outgoing, helpful, ETC. my favorite class and teacher of my whole life. even if you hate speech, take his class! i promise you won't at the end. EASY A, you'd be dumb to get a c or below. he has very funny stories about his life, past classes, EX'S.. RECCOMEND!!
If you want a fairly easy grade, attend this class. However, don't expect to learn alot. You will have a chance to give speeches. Wish he would have focused more on teaching and less on being friends. Need to be proactive in asking for specific dates for tests as he does not follow the syllabus. Nice guy, but disappointed.
Easy A. You will love his class. He makes class so much fun! I took the wintermester the class and now I wish I had taken a regular semester class. He is that good.
Best professor ever.Even though we didn't go over a lot from the book, it's still important to read whatever chapters he says, test are based on that but they are extremely easy if you do the reading. He is fun and so is his class.Helpful class that truly allows you to speak clearly and confidently. I strongly Recommend him.
Dr. Artist Thronton is super easy . He gives us a lot of bonuses. B4 the test day , he reviews very carefully and he makes sure every students gets it down.

Attendance ain't mandatory for his class. he never call for attendance.
He is a great professor, very funny and interesting. Be sure to engage in class discussions. he might appear as if he doesn't care if you are late or you don't attend but he does! Tests are a little tricky, read the book carefully and 3 speeches which he grades strictly-one third of your grade so it is important! he is fun but also a little tough
NEED TO PUMP UP UR GPA. HERE IS THE MAN .
Dr. Thornton is a very intelligent man whose teaching style seems to be very irrelevant in the beginning. In the end it all comes together and overall, it's an easy A. He has plenty of fun while he teaches.
He is ABSOLUTELY hilarious, very good looking, and has plenty of stories to tell! Easiest A as long as you DO the homework or he'll get mad, speeches were the only real grades, and he DOES take attendance! One or two tests..just do what he tells you to do, and you'll be fine! I would take him again just because!
This professor is excellent! He is very down to earth, great sense of humor, and highly intelligent. I recommend anyone to take this class, even if you don't need to! He is worth the money & experience. He is a valuable asset to Richland College.
Out of all the classes that I've taken, Dr. Thornton's was, by far, the BEST class Richland had to offer. He is passionate about his work, suave, good-looking, and interesting. I always looked forward his classes because he goes out of the box with his teaching-style. You have to be REALLY uninterested to fail his class. That man is INGENIOUS!
Best Class I Ever Took. Easy A.This guy is awesome, has a great sense of humor, and will make you laugh everyday. You won't regret this class.
Professor Thornton was a terrific teacher. His lectures and discussions were great.
I just love being in his class. I would recommend all of you since he is an easy A teacher. Do all his speeches and there you go with an A
Prof. T has been, by far, the best professor in my college career! It's nice to have a course where you can relax a bit and have some fun. He's a very interesting and hilarious man! Couldn't wait for his class. Definitely have recommended him to friends. Very little work, but not hard when there is. Be in class cause he does take attendence!
He is super easy.3 speeches. Just do that and you will be fine. You will never get bored in his class.
I LOVE Dr. Thornton !! There is never a dull moment in his class. He always makes you laugh and is not one of those harsh professors. This is probably the easiest A you'll ever make !!
I took 2 of his classes. I barely showed up for either of them and didn't take any of his finals and came out with an A+ !!!!
He is very easy going, you really don't do much. Participate and you will make an easy A
He is the best teacher I ever Had. His class was so fun that I didn't want to miss one of them. Show up in class, and participate you will get an A.
Dr. Thorton, by far the best teacher ever. He makes you feel comfortable to go up front in class to give a speech. He makes class interesting and exciting. Never a dull moment. His assignments are required but its not much of an hassle to do. Go to class everyday and you should make a easy A.
