Reviews of professor Douglas Norton

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This man is so boring I'm so sorry. The course is a build-off of modern algebra and foundations. He is a nice guy but I never know what is going on. He allows the students to choose the style of testing which of course ends up being take-home so that is nice. I do not look forward to this class and honestly, it is a little painful to sit through

Doug is a really nice and understanding guy, but his class gets very confusing. Most of the kids in my class had already taken calc before this class. I did not, and I didn't understand half of the stuff he was teaching. He does let the class vote on take-home tests or in class, and he pushes dates back. If you go to office hrs, he'll help you.

Dr. Norton is the man. By far the nicest, most caring professor I've had at FSU. He is the professor I would repeatedly take if I could. He is incredibly smart and works to help each student understand. 10/10 recommend.

He is a very nice person, but as someone who has not taken calc before, I found his class extremely confusing and I began to take notes from the textbook instead of listening to his lectures. He does not explain calc well at all. If I had background in calc I might have had a different experience.

Doug Norton is one of, if not the best professor at FSU. The whole economics department at Florida State is also very solid with Mike Hammock and Joe Calhoun standing out. However I feel Doug also deserves his spot for the attention and care he gives to every aspect of his class. He is also a great father who cares about his students wellbeing.

The lectures were super engaging, but beware, he moves FAST. Attendance is mandatory to pass. Be prepared to spend hours outside of class reviewing and studying material- start as SOON as classes begin. There are insane leaps in logic on exams, so make sure you comprehend concepts and definitions, not just the math. Way tougher than ECO2023!
