Reviews of professor Douglas Norton

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Norton may be the greatest professor I've ever had. He is interactive with his class and really cares whether or not you are grasping the material. This is an upper division writing course so yes there are essays. Take this class with Norton and you will not regret it. Exams: Honor lock Open Note (final is in class not open note)

Professor Norton really cares about his students and will adapt throughout semester to make sure they're learning.

Norton is a very knowledgable professor, but you kinda need prior knowledge before taking his class. I took calc in HS, but ended up confused on the way he approached topics. He does grade on a curve and lets the class decide if tests should be take home (and pushes the due date), so he really is understanding on that aspect. Funny guy too.

Dr. Norton is so nice, just like all the other reviews on here said. However, when he lectures he does not explain ANYTHING. Luckily, he grades leniently, but otherwise the entire class would fail every exam. The content in this class is hard enough, take another professor if you can who actually explains the material.

Be prepared to go to the Math Learning Center a LOT. His class is HARD for Calc I, even for people who already took Calc. Master of self-deprecating jokes. Doug curves the scores a lot which is really helpful towards your grade. Optional HW, Mainly graded on quizzes once a week, only 3 (2 in-person and one take-home) tests, no midterm, & a final.
