Reviews of professor Jason Thornley

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Studied two weeks for a test and half of it was things never talked about or in the book. Just reads whats on the PowerPoint. Doesnt explain anything further. Worst teacher I have had in the two years at Longview.

He really cares about teaching. The best advice I can give is to just study, ask questions, and take advantage of open labs.

Dr. T is super laid back and makes an in-person class enjoyable! He is very heavy on lectures and covers a lot of content in one class period. Make sure that you're paying attention! He is very understanding, but it is important that you try. Quizlet will not get you through the course, but taking notes during lectures will!

Basically taught the bio 101 class like an advanced and doesnt really help students other than reading lectures word for word and handed out tests.

Awesome dude. Understands the life of a student and that school isnt life. Cool in class, funny too. This class was 100% lecture, and the tests are hard. Write down all notes possible and use the online powerpoints. Lots of studying needed to get an A, but would reccomend for Biol132 for sure.

Nice guy, long lectures.

The lectures are long, around 80 slides each, there is an abundance of material covered, I personally found the teaching style a bit crass.

I took Dr. Thornley for BIOL 109 and BIOL 132. Heavy lectures and material all together, however Dr. T is super understanding and reasonable. Don't expect to use quizlet to pass this class. Take the time to learn and understand the material. He is also willing to give feedback and reason with you on certain things. Do your work, it'll be worth it.

This class was pretty difficult, however, getting a good grade is possible if you put the work in. We had two short papers that were easy A's. Take lots of notes on everything. That includes lectures, power points, labs, and quizzes. The test questions mostly come from the labs and quizzes so make sure you study with those!

Organized, caring and hilarious. Nutrition isn't a tough class just read the book and take the tests... wasn't bad at all.

Dr Thronley was an awesome instructor! The class is very hard and there is a ton of material but Dr. Thornley has all the notes done for you, plus videos pre-recorded if you miss class. He gives plenty of extra credit. Use his notes, not the book, ask questions. There are essay questions on the exam but he gives you aheads up on what they will be.

Mr. Thornley was a friendly professor and always helped when he could. He emails his students once or twice a week for updates and reminders. I would highly recommend him.
