Reviews of professor Kristen Thornton

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Since I took ACC109 prior to this class and earned an A, I expected that this course would be doable. The main issue is that the tests are EXTREMELY different from the homework. Even if you are pulling 90s and 100s on the homework and quizzes, you might get hit with a 50% on the tests. Thankfully, you can save yourself with her extra credit.

I took this as a half online half in class. Luckily the class is fluffed with so much homework because I got D's on every exam. The tests don't resemble the homework at all and neither do the powerpoints. You pretty much have to teach yourself accounting so good luck

It was easy to pass the class by doing the work but as a professor she could not teach so be ready to teach yourself.

Thornton is a decent professor. Tests are really hard, but she curves each one which helps a lot. Anytime I emailed her with a question she always got back to me in a timely manner. One thing that I didn't like was that, since this was a blended class, she posted her lecture videos on youtube, and she would also post about 15 5-minute videos.

This class isn't easy, but her grading helps with that. Homework is just over 50% of the grade. Plus, she curves her tests, so despite getting 60-70% on every test I'm going to finish with an A. If you do all of the work in the class, you'll be successful even if you don't fully understand everything.

Her lectures, homework, and exams aren't very cohesive. She does a good job of explaining things clearly.She offers a lot of easy homework points, the final is optional, she grades her exams on a curve, and she offers extra credit which make it easy to get an A in the class if you suck at accounting and do poorly on exams like me.

Not gonna lie, this class was really hard for me since I am terrible at anything math-related, but I was shockingly able to manage with a B- at the end of the semester because Prof Thornton made it easy to get points. You can retake homework assignments as much as you want, and there are plenty of extra credit opportunities.

The class is ok, but sometimes she posts lecture videos late or not at all. She does not push back homework, even when the lectures come back late, which makes it difficult to understand what is going on. Test is not like homework. Homework is time consuming and worth very few points.

Professor Thornton is very sweet, and you can tell she cares a lot for her students. Her tests are pretty hard, but she curves all of them. She assigns a lot of homework, but do the extra credit!!! I worked really hard for this grade in the class, because I am not good at math or accounting at all!
