Reviews of professor Gayle Horton

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Horton is obviously a polarizing figure. If you like to think about the more abstract issues in biotechnology and medicine, then take her class. If you just want to stick to science, don't take her class. Personally, I loved the class. But I can see how if you are not prepared to defend your position, you would find her intimidating.

I almost didn't take her class because of the reviews. But I am glad I did. She is really helpful and she knows what she is talking about. I can tell you that she is not biased. She just expects people to do the work and give reasons for how we think. If you are a serious student and do the work, you will do fine. I would take her again.

I really liked this class and thought Mrs. Horton did a wonderful job. She returned emails promptly and she gave quality feedback on drafts of essays. I thought the essays were very straightforward. You just had to use the assignment checklist and the grading rubric in the syllabus. Not a hard course at all.

She seems very educated, but really expects you to just jump right into this subject! She gives no background and does not give good grading expectations. The only grades are essays due every sunday the entire term. She is vary vague as to why your grade is low, and does not give good feedback. 10 page term paper on subjects she chooses.

I took this class online with Ms. Horton. I am a biology major, pre-med. I am not a strong writer so I was dreading this class. To my surprise, Ms. Horton was really helpful on writing assignments. I really liked all the topics and I think Ms. Horton went our of her way to help me. I totally recommend this class.
