Reviews of professor Douglas Norton

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Prof. Norton CARES! He loves teaching and it's so clear in each lecture. His office hours are a great way to get clarification on homework and he'll take time to re-explain concepts that you may miss in class (go to office hours)

* COURSE IS HARD, but Prof Norton makes it bearable and worth your time. 
* DO NOT SKIP CLASS :) very lecture heavy

I took Calc 1 before and Dr. Norton taught alg 2 and pre calc most of the class. He attempts to be helpful by saying "kablooey" instead of proper math terms, just confusing students more. He offers test corrections and take home tests, and he will tell you the answers if you go to office hours. Funny guy, not the worst to end up with.

Had him for ECO 4554 this spring. This is the type of professor that a student hopes for when signing up for a class. He's entertaining, fair, and wants us to succeed. I think people tend to do well in his classes not because they are easy, but because people put forth more effort into classes that are enjoyable.

Norton is a good professor. He's available for office hours and has a lot of old lectures to help students understand the concepts. The only thing bad part was the tests. They involve a little bit of critical thinking because they deviate from the homework. He also puts a lot of free responses on the exams, so be prepared to recall the material.

I had to do a lot of teaching myself the material in this course and spent hours in study groups. Unfortunately, he does not provide clear details of what to expect for exams. Students would constantly ask for study guides or extra practice problems but none were given. He is also a tough grader. Nice person but did not like his teaching style.

Dr. Norton is arguably the best professor I've had at FSU. He loves economics & he loves his students. 
He once said he works very hard to perfect his teaching style, and it definitely shows. I learned a ton from this class and enjoyed it a lot. He says it's an extremely difficult class, but most of us disagree. Do all the work and you'll be fine.

The only grades are three exams and the TopHat Participation. He drops a lot of the TopHat points you don't earn though. It is not difficult to pass this class as long as you attend the lectures. He gives a lot of opportunities to make up your grade.

I love Norton. If you show up to class, you'll be fine. He's very caring and enthusiastic about what he's teaching. The class is very similar to prin of micro, just more math. He uses Honorlock, but attendance and the textbook aren't required. Study for the exams and you should be fine. I've taken Norton for 2 classes so far and he's great.
