Reviews of professor Gayle Horton

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This was my favorite course of the term. The topics were interesting and her lecture notes were helpful. She returns emails quickly. It is clear that she is genuinely interested in helping students do well. I would totally recommend this class. Dr. Horton is the best.

This professor really knows her stuff. I loved the class and will definitely take her again if she teaches a different online class. I like how she sets up the course--short essays, term paper but no exams. I would rather write essays than take exams. I like that she responds to emails quickly. If you can think for yourself, this is a great class.

I was worried about a writing class, but it was fairly easy. You are only graded on one essay each week with a response to two students, 500 words for response, takes 20 min. I got 100% on every single one. Three major papers a semester. Topics were interesting, abortion, racism, suicide, political stuff like that. Easy writing class for credits.

Definitely does not give out As easily. Prefers you send her your draft, if you don't, well, sorry for your C. I had a high B all semester and ended up with a C due to a final paper that I did not do that well on, on her opinion. This is ETHICS. Not FACTS. Definitely not an easy class, with weekly essays and lots of reading. Time consuming.

I really liked this class. I liked all of the topics. I found myself really involved with the discussion questions. I am pre-med. So I want to absorb everything. I think this class made me a better candidate for medical school.

I was five months pregnant (high risk) when I took Horton's class. She worked with me so I could catch up on assignments I missed. I could not have completed this course without her help and compassion. This was the last course I needed to apply for nursing school. I got into nursing school and my baby is healty. Thank you Ms.Horton!

Avoid at all costs. Horton is highly disrespectful of you with different opinions. She does not care about you at all as a student.

The worst. No grading rubric, no instruction. You never know exactly what she wants. Grades on a whim with a clear bias. Even if your essay has no issues, highest grade would be 95%. Do not take her class.

She wants one to not be biased when writing the papers, yet she is biased when grading them. IDK if I just got unlucky & took her class while she was having a bad semester, but she has been rude & not helpful at all. Even when reaching out multiple times until the essay doesn't need anymore work, she still gives it a B or even C. I don't recommend.

I just got her feedback from my term paper--submit as is, this is clearly an "A" paper. This class seemed hard at first but then I realized you just have to back up what you say.
