INTELLIGENT, KNOWLEDGEABLE, GOOD TEACHER. Also, he is a funny person. Overall, I learned a lot in this class.
Great sense of humor. He has a way of making public speaking less intimidating. I was terrified to take this class, but soooo glad I did. He's a great instructor.
so funny! great class and great teaching
He is very nice. He always tries to give us a chance to get the best grade. He accepts late assignments also. I feel comfortable to learn with him.
Daniel Norton's teaching style relates new information directly to life outside of the classroom. This techniuqe turns otherwise mundane facts into relevant informaiton. The work was challenging, but not overwhelming. A great class, a great teacher.
D.NORTON IS ONE OF THE BEST, INTELENCENT, HELPFULL, MOTIVATIVE AND FRIENDLY INSTRUCTOR I HAD IN WINTER2009.I strongly recomment any student especialy non-notive one who are willing to know and learn the best "COM" skills. If you realy the best instructor in SCCC and need to know the truth AMERICAN culture and the rest of the world, take his class.
Very nice guy!
i just took his class in Fall. I think he is really nice and funny! Not much homework, you just need to study for Quiz. I really do Love him! No final lol He is one of the best professors ever!
I took the class this fall (2009). Daniel makes the somewhat dreadful topic of public speaking extremely approachable and enjoyable. He integrates the coursework with his students extremely well, making it relevant with examples for domestic and international students. One of the best professors I've had. You'll enjoy it and learn great kills.
An amazing class this fall(09). A knowledgeble, easygoing, smart teacher! Lectures were interesting and helpful. I feel a lot better to speak in front of people now. I really miss his class.

Mr. Norton by far one of the best professors I have had at SCCC. He does use a text but emphasizes on each student learning through experience. He always had interesting stories which related to the topic, made students feel at ease when speaking in front of the class, gave amazing constructive criticism & was overall just an amazing educator.
very useful and fun class for international students.you will learn a lot from this class.
He's the most interesting teacher I've never meet! Having his class was a wonderful thing last quarter.

Very funny, but at the same time very knowledgable. Makes you think outside the box and makes sure you get to know your fellow classmates.
very good teacher/
Great Professor! You learn a lot and enjoy it.
Excellent communicator. Does a tremendous job of provoling thought and allowing students to find the answers on their own instead of telling them.
Daniel is different. He has the qualities that others don't. It's been a privilege being in his class. He has everything from passion to life experiences, and he is definitely a good choice for those who want to gain communication skills. He is easy,and funny, which makes students feel less stressful.
Lov e this professor for sure!! Active, humorous, flexible teacher, and always encourage students!!Definitely should take his class!!He knows what he is teaching about and also knows a lot of knowledge!!Love it!!!
The class is really awesome, I learn the skill well from classmates and teacher~ Take it!!!
Very interesting and smart teacher, knows what to teach.
definitely one of the best teacher I have studied with so far. He creates a good atmosphere in class. The course's content is also very useful if you want to improve your communication skills...anyway, good teacher and good class
I totally agree with everyone else--indeed, Daniel is, without a doubt, the best teacher at Central--but I do have one thing against him: He's very liberal. Albeit, I'm liberal too, but his politics will occasionally influence and hinder his curriculum. For example, he gave a 20 minute off-topic lecture blaming homelessness on Reagan.
He is a wonderful teacher. His lectures are intersting. I recommended you to to take his class in order to improve the communication skills.
A very nice teacher that gives good instruction. I enjoy his class very much. Nice communication skilled are introduced in class,which you will be benefited the whole life.
He is the most fascinating teacher I have ever studied with. He gets his own style in teaching that none of the others can have! Extremely highly recommended!

Hands down one of the best teachers at this school. One of the only classes I've ever had that I actually look forward to attending. Very clear and concise teacher, very pleasant too.

he is good
Nice professor and nice class!
Nice teacher. Great talk.
nice guy
The most interesting and practical class I have ever had. I was scared of giving a speech before the class. Since I've learned useful communication skills, I gained confidence when I stand in front of the class.I'm grateful for our teacher--Norton.
Mr. Norton was a great teacher. Before starting his class last quarter, I was hesitant, but once the first week was over I didnt want to miss his class. Hes fun, knowledgable and he involves everyone at some point in a fun way. Would highly recommend him for a teacher, in any class.
Daniel Norton is the best. He is my first hour teacher and i had'nt been in a class room since 1983, he made it so easy for me. God Bless Daniel Norton. We need more teachers like him.
One of the most entertaining classes I've ever attended!
It was very fun to be in his class. I really enjoyed being in his class. he made it easy and fun encouraging us to be in class every morning we had the class. If you guys want to take any communication class, make sure to take it with him.
He was great professor, very refreshing!! He related all of the class topics to real life to keep discussions very interesting. Class always flew by!!!
like the way he teaches
He is really a great teacher!!He always makes the class lively and interesting. I have learned very useful communication skills. Thank you so much Mr Norton!O(∩_∩)O~
He was nice and clarified! The RAT (quizzes) were a little long. I just realized everytime I looked at him (engaging in his lecture), he just looked back and pointed at me and took me as an example! lol. It was really fun to come to class. One more thing, sign up before the class is full, otherwise it'll be hard to get in.
Professor Norton is probably one of the best professors I've had so far. His teaching style and humor kept the class enjoyable and interesting. I do feel like I have become a better communicator so HIS class is a MUST!
very helpful he has change the way i perceive things in life, the best you go norton
HE IS FUNNY~~~ AND I LOVE HIM!!!
I love you, Mr. Norton. I have learned a lot from you. Thank you so much.
Very Nice Guy. Class is quite boring sometimes, but actually has many aspects that you can learn. Highly recommended (especially for international students).
Great teacher and very fair grading. This is the class thats's going to change your life. Take Norton's class or one day you're going to be old and alone, living in a house filled with cats,waiting to feast on you, while you slowly deteriorate due to lack of communication skills you could've learned from Norton.
love him so much.In his class, u can get the basic knowledge which is really helpful. And u can never get bored!!!! He is very nice and take care of international student!
GOOD!!! u will have at least three presentations to work on. and so much fun u listen to presentations of ur classmates! learned a lot. He is so funny and nice,always ready to help! no pressure just fun. gonna miss him so much. the best communication professor!
He is full of humor all the time in his class and i can't find any reason that not to take his classes. you can learn communication skills during his class.it is a fun class to take!!
the class is amazing, the classmates are funny and kind. Mr.Norton usually making joke during his lecture. i like him so much, i really can learn things in this class, i meant besides the public speaking skills. you should take this class if you are not that active because it could change your personality. Great class to take!!
Mr.Norton is the best "dude" teacher I have ever had. He has all the traits that make his students want to go to classes and participate. Funny, thoughtful, fair and very knowledgable. I used to stay after the class to talk to him, and most of the things we were talking about was politics.He helped me to see the world from a different view. Thanks!
He is the best teacher I ever had. He is kind and helpful. Also, what he teach helps us to communicate with others well. I really appreciate him and I'd like to take his class again If I have any opportunity!
Love him so much. was surprised the way he taught, love his lectures. This course was really helpful and fun. my skill is improved a lot after taking this class. highly recommended professor!
Daniel is an excellent teacher and good guy. He works hard and succeeds at keeping his class engaged. Many of my classmates were dealing with culture and language barriers and Daniel was extremely patient with them. He did everything necessary to make theirs a fruitful learning experience. I highly recommend him, especially to foreign students. A++
I took this class because it is required for my degree and I did not expect to get so much out of it. Daniel Noton is a wonderful instructor. He took us through this course with expertise and humor and managed to engage everyone in the class. My only complaint is that it had to end. Sign up early for this one.
Funny, easy, great are the only things I can say by words. Just so perfect!
Mr. North is great and I have learned a lot in his class. He made sure that the students understood what he was presenting in class. He should be cloned. L. Darrington
The most amazing teacher ever !!! He knows how to keep you interested throughout the entire class.
mr norton is a great professors . He is so funny and nice. interesting class!!! must take this class !!!!
love him! great teacher ever!
Daniel Norton is an awesome professor!
Mr. Norton should be cloned he is excellent and would advise anyone to take his class.
I took his communication in small groups. Some things he said would sound funny at the beginning, but gradually, you will know what he really wanted to tell. However, there are some parts of the lectures and expectations weren't clear sometimes, not a problem though. I expected more from this class, but more or so felt that it's an "easy 4.0 class"
Perfect teacher!!!The best teacher that I have had in Seattle Central! He is so humor and funny and we learned so much from him!!!
I think Mr Norton is agreat teacher very down to earth.
very easy n full of fun! highly recommended !
this class is about small group communication, and i felt happy to be one of them in this class. my classmates were fun & I learnt lots of small group/ personal communication skills, and they did work on my career. This class is definitely worth to take, so pls don't miss it!!
Awesome professor, highly recommend him.
very awesome instructor, I learned a lot and the class was very fun. I recommend this class to everyone.
Quizzes are fully based on the text book, but his classes are both fun and useful. Prof.Norton is very knowledgeable about communication and culture differences; you will find his stories interesting. He also involves the students in discussions a lot.
very interesting and easily understand
easy class
Fantastic professor! He was really easy and relaxed. I would def. take his classes again.
Daniel is one of the best instructors that i even even met. I love his class so much and enjoy a lot. It's very hard to say BYE to him at the end of the quarter, because he is a very kind gentleman that will make me miss him in one day.
his class is very easy and fun??????????????????
one of the best and funny teacher
This class is really cool :)) I enjoy the lessons all the time; we laugh a lot in class because of Daniel's humor. Thank you for giving us useful lessons :) Hope to be in your class once again ^O^
Great Instructor! Easy and fun and useful! Want a good GPA?Need learn some communication skills for your life? Take this Class! you will enjoy it and feel hard to say bye to him and other classmates =( we love each other in this class!
Learned a lot not just from the material, but also about other cultures. Classes are both educational and humorous. He gives good grades as long as you put in your effort. I'm planning to take his CMST220 class some time later.
Great teacher, I enjoyed working with him throughout the year. Always started off class a little differently each day.
Good class, learned a lot, not to crazy about his sense of humor. I did feel comfortable speaking up in class though (which is rare for me). Midterms harder than expected, but not too bad.
Good stuff.
Simply, he is the best...
Interesting Methods, but he does care that students learn the material.
This professor is really kind and helpful. I can easily understand what he says in class.
Do not need explanation! Just take him if you need CMST101!
He is the best one! Always tells amazing stories and easily makes students learn the material. When you are involved, you are likely to study. Good sence of humor and way of teaching! I wish he had more classes, I would 100 % choose them!
The best teacher I've ever taken at Seattle Central. It was worth waking up 7:30 every morning to attend his 9:00 class. You will enjoy this class. Wonderful teacher, and he's funny. The midterm and final are quite difficult if you don't read the book or pay attention in class, but overall the best class I've taken.
I love this teacher. His lecture is pretty repetitive but it's ok to take his class.
This was a great interactive class
Great class very interactive
I really enjoyed his class. I will recommend to take it.
Great professor, a very kind man and good at what he teaches. I would recommend this class just about anybody.
I signed up for this class because this website said Norton was hot but he really wasn't. Unless you're into older guys. However, this class ended up being amazing and is the funniest class I've taken at Central. The Midterm was crazy hard but the final was pretty easy; both were take-home. I defiantly recommend this class to everyone.
There are quizzes which he calls RAT they pop at no time so read or skim the book. There were only 2 speeches. These international students did better than me tho. Mid-term & final exam were simple
He is a great teacher if you're seeking for a class that gives you the opportunities to think critically
he is really good and nice. this is a really useful class for me. i recommend you guys take his class.
He is the best instructor in SCCC for sure. Very kind and always willing to help. If you want to learn about communication. He is the one that you should go for.
He is very friendly and open-minded. He likes making jokes, and it makes his lecture always enjoyable. It is the best class that college students take in their first quarter.
Daniel is very helpful and willing to go out of his way to help you succeed in this class.
If you want to learn communication. He is the one that you should take. Very nice instructor. I bet he is the best one in SCCC.
One of the great professor I ever came across. I would highly recommed his class to every students who wants to do well in communication.. His very helpful and always ready to help.. Very sweet professor. Very humble to be in his class!!!
This course is easy to follow. You have big chance to communicate in class.
The professor is great. If you wanna get a good grade, just work hard and get it.
I really enjoyed the student and teacher interaction. I felt that it challenged me to interact with the material at hand. In addition, the structure of the class ensure everyone participated at every level.overall,the best imstruct in the sccc.you can't ignore mr.norton.

HE IS AMAZING!!!!!definitely take his class. Before the quarter started, I was a little worried since I am not a talkative student and tend to be nervous to speak in front of people, but he always encourage students to speak out and I think if I have a chance to take his class again, I will do better than this quarter
I almost knew nothing about communication before taking his class, but now I decide to take communication as a minor,appreciate to Professor Norton.

Very easy class, as long as you read the book and ome to classs. Can be a bit boring at times, but overal great guy.
Mr. Daniel Norton is a very knowledgeable professor! VERY PATIENT!!! He gives everyone a chance to succeed; if you fail you didn't do the work or didn't show up or both, YOUR FAULT!I learned things I never considered and he reinforced the things I already knew!
I like this teacher because he is very helpful to international students and understands that different cultures learn and develop differently. He was great at having the students learn about each other.
Great professor. Comments he makes sometimes make you think "can he say those things in class?" but still he has a point. Make sure to read your book for RATS. Pretty straight and clear class. Not hard. Good luck!
Daniel is a really good professor. It was not difficult to understand what he said. If you ask him questions, he will explain to you. You read textbook before the class, you will understand more easily what he is teaching.
Norton is an awesome teacher and his class will provide you with info. you will use for the rest of your life. Make sure to read assigned chapters, he gives RATS (pop quizzes) and they are from the book. Great class, awesome teacher!!!
Daniel is a funny guy. I've learnt a lot about the American culture. Make sure to read the textbook cuz you'll need it for quiz. Overall an interesting and helpful class.

Good teacher. If you have a difficult quarter take this class, he will be the stress-releaser and make you laugh. Very easy class.
He is a humor and knowledgable instructor!!! You can learn a lot of communication skill in a funny way!! The grading was also easy go!!! I highly recommend his class!!
Great teacher! I was extremely nervous to public speak but makes you feel so comfortable. Gets every student involved and brings humor into the classroom. I really enjoyed this class.
The teacher is so helpful and engaging, he's aware of everyone in the class and makes every students participate. He makes students learn from each other which is an excellent way of learning, he's the best.
Nice teacher, he is a helpful and friendly teacher! Take his class:)
He'll teach you everything about how to handle yourself communication wise in real life environment. Read the books and listen to his lectures and you will do very well in the class, the hardest part of his class is the fun random test he gives out every week. Take his class, good luck, god bless you and god bless the united states of america.
I really like Daniel. He's a funny guy. His class is very interesting. He doesn't use the textbook much. Most of the knowledge is outside the textbook.
Daniel was the greatest teacher I've ever had in my life! He was so supportive, and funny. You first need to get used to his humor tho. His class was so helpful for me. If I could, I would take his class again.
Daniels class is a lot fun and he really is a great teacher. You wont regret taking this class and I often looked forward to it even though I have very little interest in Comm
His class demonstrated what a college student should look like. You just need to turn in your assignment on time, join the class discussion, and have fun.

He is an extremely knowledgable and caring guy. He treats everyone in the class equally. His classes were so interesting that nobody was skipping them. Never got bored in his class. Im so glad I took his class. I'm gonna miss him so much.
Norton is one of an amazing teacher i`ve taken in SCC. He is very funny and he explains well his class.I`d love to say take his class. Even he understands international students problem. I mean, english isn`t the 1st language for all of us &he understands our grammar mistakes and his requirement isn`t that mach terribly high as some other teachers
This class is so interesting, and Daniel is so kind and funny. He is a really good instructor for communication. I've learned a lot from him. The homework is just reading the short textbook.
He is really interesting?He is really nice and friendly. I learn a lot from him??j
He s one of great teacher I have ever met. Beside of teaching, he also give us useful advises to be successful in life. You have to believe in Karma; and to him "volunteer will always go to heaven no matter what." Keep this in mind & you will achieve what you want no matter how hard it is. Strongly recommend & His class is full very quick.
He is an amazing teacher, if you are willing to study, he will show you everything that you need, and get you well-prepared for Public Speaking.
The best instructor i have met in US. You will learn a lot of knowledge from him, and easy to become a public speaker.
Daniel is one of the best teachers in Seattle central college. his class is so fun. the text book he use is easy to understand and useful. I took that class to practice more speech presenting but it was not enough for me. he likes giving a test on the chapters he mentions to his students to read, but take it with the hard class, it is fun to take :
He is just a amazingly knowlegeable and interesting teacher. You will never feel boring in this class. And he's grading is not hard at all as long as you put your effort into your every speech. Choose him!
Funny teacher, really helpful. Knows how to incorporate stereo-types of different cultures with humor without disrespecting anyone. Encourages students to speak up and come out of their shell. Absolutely recommend him!
This guy is a riot, he does his best to make everyone more comfortable in what could be a very uncomfortable class. He really grows on you throughout the quarter :)
A good instructor who enables students to become best speakers. At first didnt know what to do in my introduction and conclusion section of my speech. As time went by,with help i learnt what to include.
Unique approach to the course material. Classes are never boring. He always makes it easy, funny and intertaining and very helpful at the same time!
Great teacher! Very funny, always keeps the class intertained. Learned much from this class. Will definitely take another class from Norton in the future.
I really like this professor because I felt like I can really communicate with other students in this class. What else, I love reading In this class since he gave out a lot of reading assignment normally and that we're really helpful.
NORTON is a really good teacher who had a sense of humor. The candy he gave is really delicious and I hope I can take his other class if it's possible.
He is a very wise man, his knowledge covers different aspects in life and different cultures around the world. He is a very helpful man and has a great sense of humor. His classes are always conversational and interesting. And last but not least, he is so encouraging! You must choose him without any hesitancy.
i really enjoy professor Norton's class, it's awesome
He is a funny teacher, and the best teacher I have ever meet in the school!
his class is super interesting but no stress at all~~
Daniel Norton is a wise and knowledgeable man. His class is interesting and attending it is a real pleasure. Choose this course and you won't regret it.
professor ~ I am giving you a 4.0 at ratemyprofessor. you give me a 4.0 as well LOL.
Awesome teacher! Really funny, keeps everybody in the class engaged and wants everybody to succeed. Take his class!! Everybody should take his class!
Great man
a greatest professor ever at SCC. learn a lot and never be worry about the class. take his class!!!!!!!
If you want an easy A take his class. He likes to listen to himself talk though, and often times makes the class very awkward. Nice guy, but kinda odd. If like feeling engaged and are looking for a class that will help you learn something, maybe not for you. Again easy A, but not very interesting or engaging.
Norton is a great teacher due to his teaching style, and it is very easy to get a good grade if you are fully participate with him and the class. You can learn the most thing about speech from his lecture, which is an enjoyable thing to do.
Best teacher I ever had in SCC Lectures are super interesting, and the professor is very entertaining, also too very fun! I enjoyed every class. Although, this class should be daily, and not twice a week, because the lectures are very long, and very tiring, but the professor made it kind of easy on us. TAKE THIS CLASS, WONT REGRET IT! LEARNED ALOT
he is hilarious and funny, but sometimes a little odd. He likes asking students question and give good feedback after presentation!
I love him so much. He is my role model. Learned so much about public speaking from him. All students must take him. What is more, he gave me an old song that I really like.
Everyone MUST take him
It's really nice to see a professor who actually cares about his students, not only some, but all of his students. i did see a lot of progress in me and also my friends (who at first were so scared of speaking in public). he used to say, life is unfair and that one day we're all going to die. but take his class, it'll make your life worth while.
great teacher ever! give me 4.0
Don't absent, you'll get 4.0
He is so hilaious, getting stuff in your head with no pain.
He is interesting guy. Very patient and nice! Take his class!
Favorite communication professor ever! Very cute and interesting!
He was a amazing teacher! He gave many easy test. You just need to be confidence and ready to choose interesting topic. It's super easy to get 4.0.
Great instructor! Interesting and fun lectures. I learned a lot and received a great grade without much effort.
He is the best instructor that I have ever had. I really enjoy his class. As a international students, English is not my native language, and sometimes it makes more difficult for me to understand things during classes. However, he tries his best to rephrase what he's saying to make sure that we understand everything.
He gives amazing lectures. He is a very knowledgeable man and you will learn a lot through his lectures. Participation is very important, but we don't have a lot of work.
I would like to take this class again. This teacher is amazing really helpful.
Professor Norton is great. Class was engaging and very good lectures. He was very knowledgeable on the content. He makes sure you understand if you have questions.
This instructor loves his job, he tries to make everyone benefit from his knowledge. He recommends readings and encourages class participation. If you are looking for inspirational communicator or planning to be one, Daniel Norton is your best bet.

Daniel is the man on campus. Stoked on his class. Learned lots on how to pick up chicks. He wasn't an jerk, that's always cool. Pretty darn funny. Confident and relaxed person, makes showing up to class not suck.
Cmst 210 was a great start with norton. I went from being awkward, to an organized thinker of how to express myself. I feel like his lectures will still be stuck in my head 20 years from. I'm definitely gonna take another class from him. Btw, he's got the hots for an 100+ year old fellow.
I enjoyed this class a lot and got a lot out of it.
One of the best professors in my school.
Show up and do the work ! He is very easy , he based your presentations on growth of you so, don't worry if someone better then you. If you do bad on test ( like I do...) just make sure you do great on presentations. Home work was not terrible either. We had two essays and outline for each presentation. Overall, it's a fun class.
Don't ask for extra credits, coz there is no such thing on earth lol Wonderful instructor, you can tell he enjoys class time and you definitely will do too! I enjoyed the class a lot and got a lot out of the class. He instilled a lot of ideas and knowledge in you even though you didn't realize it.
super easy to talk to and fun to joke around with! I liked to give him a hard time but he gives it right back lol fun class and I would totally take it again
TAKE HIS CLASS!!!!!!!
I really enjoyed this class that will support me to make speech in medical field. Concentrate the technique in the professor's lecture. He also performed some spotaneous speech suddently. It was fantastic if people could reconigze. You have never felt stress at all. Thank you so much.
Awesome guy
Great professor. He wants you to succeed! I was not great at standing up and talking to people before his class, my voice would shake but I got more comfortable and am still nervous but it is not as bad.
One of the best teacher ever
this class is designed to help students to be more confident of communicating with other people. The group evaluation and the textbook are helpful to understand the basic requirements for every speech. Choose some easy and fun topics instead of the complicated ones and you can still get good grades.
just so good
one of the best teacher. sometimes the topic is bored but he makes it be more interesting. would take it again.
He is very good teacher and this class is very useful for everyone! Plz take his class and enjoy it
I like Norton because he has a sense of humor. This made me like his class and enjoyable moment. His class was fun. He wants you to contribute to class discussions by asking you questions.
A MAN WITH TONES OF KNOWLEDGE ! AND YEAH, HE IS THE BEST!
Mr. Norton was honestly the best teacher I have ever had. I learned much in this course that I will use in the business world. His teaching style is one of inclusiveness, giving clear messages on material, and levity that makes the class extremely interesting with many periods of laughter. He makes you want to do your best. He is the greatest!
He's funny and I learned a lot about culture and history in his class. We learned more about diversity in this class than I did in my diversity class! Not a boring class by any means.
Norton is the best professor I've ever taken! He's the best! Take his class you will learn more than you paid!
Professor Norton is one of my favorite professor in Seattle Central. I am engineering student with lots of pressure but take his class at the same time feel relaxed. There are 4 exams and a group project during the last two weeks. Do the exams, turn in everything and do a five minutes presentation, then you will be fine.
I just finished his communication 101 class in spring, and I am going to take his public speaking class in fall quarter. Trust me, this professor is interesting and knowledgeable. The class is fun and easy. You will like it.
He's the best! Will never forget this instructor!
Very knowledgeable with public speaking. Gives lots of instruction and feedback. You will not be able to avoid participating class discussion because he tries to call on everyone, but since it's a communications class, that should be expected, and he uses humor to guide students' behavior and responses.
His class is not only easy but actually helpful. He is caring and amazing teacher. One of the best classes I took at SCC.
