Reviews of professor Rachel Thornton

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Rachel is AMAZING! She is new to NKU but let me just say I don't like science but she makes me excited to come in everyday and take about rocks! Lol she's easily one of the best professors I've ever had and I am senior! She's very caring and is willing to go that extra mile for students! This is the professor for you! 10/10 recommend!

Rachel was so nice and caring. She put things in simple relatable terms. Interesting lectures, tests were pretty easy if you go to class. Funny and knowledgeable. Lots of stories from work and research. I'd take a class with her again. Assignments helped understand the material and we could work together. You'll do really well if you don't skip.

Her lab formats were extremely confusing most of the time. It was a fully online lab so I'm sure that had something to do with it but her use of canvas was all over the place. It was unorganized and confusing She switched the dates on a lab and confused the entire class but still acted like it was our fault. Overall the class was fine.

Rachel is a fantastic professor! Expectations are established but lenient toward extenuating circumstances I approached her with. She makes online classes engaging and actually gives feedback on assignments. Her tests were a little tough, but I should have studied more. She has a passion for geology and I am now considering it as a minor.

As a non-stem major, i was blown away by the fact that how hard the 3 major exams were for me. if it was not for the hw and extra credit idk how i got an A-. she tried to make it fun, but it was overwhelming for me.
