Reviews of professor Gayle Horton

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Professor Horton is a horrible person, horrible professor, and horrible at everything. I wish I could give her negative stars. She removes points if she doesn't agree with you, doesn't read through your entire essays, and is extremely condescending. I would not recommend her to anyone who is actually logical and has a brain, unlike her.

This is really an easy class if you do the work. You have to use the assignment checklists. Her big thing is to make sure you show you have done the assigned readings. If you bring in quotes from the readings, you are golden. There are 10 essays and she drops the lowest one, and a term paper. The essay questions are interesting. I loved the class.

I loved her class. There are weekly discussion posts and a term paper. No exams. She has grading rubrics for all the assignments. If you go through the checklists and proofread your work, you will get an A. The topics are super interesting. I really liked reproductive cloning and genetic engineering. I would recommend taking this class.

She is really good at responding to emails. She helped me a lot. I didn't understand stuff at the start but she helped me get better. I really liked this class. Dr. H. is cool.

I loved this class. I am a double major in biochem and molecular biology. This is absolutely the best class I have taken at NOVA. The topics are so interesting. I just wish she was here on campus so she could chair my honors thesis.

I got a 4.0 in my first semester & all of high school. this class is going to ruin my gpa. grade is 15% discussion posts, 85% based on 3 essays. she grades essays extremely hard & if you do bad on even one youre pretty much screwed. spent 9 hours on my first essay, probably best essay ive ever written and got a 77%, probably will get a C in class

I am a senior chemistry major. I enjoyed her class. Yes, she has expectations. But she explains her expectations in the grading rubric. I thought the topics were interesting and the readings were well chosen. It is clear that she is well qualified to teach the course. I suspect that students who did not rate the course well were total slackers.

I loved this class. There were 10 essays and a term paper--not exams. She answers emails very quickly. She really help me a lot. This was my favorite class this term. I would rate her an A+.

This class is awesome. I am premed and preparing for my med school exams. Dr. Horton sent me the syllabus weeks before classes started. I wanted to be sure the material aligned with my advisors checklist on med school interviews. I am a junior pre-med preparing for exams. I am so glad I got into her class. I want to rock my interviews.
