EE 301 Junior Grade Earned: B Required (Major) 8:39 pm, Apr 16, 2003 Report Evaluation |
Professor Horton really doesn't know how to run a class. He spends the entire lecture time facing the board just reambling off equations and doing the examples from the book. Your grade is based on 4 quizzes (dropping your lowest score) and the final. Note: he doesn't collect homework, which is good, because it has nothing to do with the quizzes anyway. The quizzes are just questions he made up and expects us to know. | |

EE 301 Junior Grade Earned: C Required (Major) 1:23 am, Mar 26, 2003 Report Evaluation |
Horton is one of the worst professors i've ever had. His lectures are boring and they don't really prepare you for the quizzes or help you solve homework problems. Horton is just an old fart who lectures about stuff nobody understands and won't care if anybody doesn't. Quizzes count 60% of your grade and the Final is 40%. At the end of the quarter, my quiz score was lower than what i thought i got and when i questioned him why, i found out he lost my first quiz! I wish i listened to the ratings prior to taking him but i found out firsthand how sorry this teacher really is. | |

Prof W. HOR(e)ton, is by far the worst teacher I have ever had in this school. He goes on and on in class about nonsense. His quizzes are nothing like the homework he assigns. Students are better off not attending class and trying to struggle through the book to take his quizzes that are worth 60% of the class. His notes do not teach anything, he is a terrible person for partial credit. If you are on the right track on a problem, he'll give you 1 pt out of 10. If you get it completely wrong you can get 5 pts out of 10. Forget this horrible teacher even if you have to wait another year to take it. | |

EE 301 Senior Grade Earned: N/A Required (Major) 7:31 am, Feb 27, 2003 Report Evaluation |
Horton is terrible. His lectures dont teach anything. Fact: In our section a dude who didnt even go to class got the exact same grade we did. His solutions are riddled with all kinds of mistakes. His quizzes and final are open book (there are no midterms best 3/4 quizzes=60% final =40%) and you'll need it. He always puts some kind of dirty trick in them that he never taught you and wasnt in the hwk i.e. completing the square, delta convoluted with anything disappears etc.. He deserves his low polyrating and he should be forever banished. | |

EE 242 Sophomore Grade Earned: B Required (Major) 3:01 pm, Aug 24, 2001 Report Evaluation |
My lab partner got an A while he gave me a B. Our work contribution was equivalent and, to my knowledge, I didn't do too bad on the final. Everyone's right about him though. He's a tenured professor and doesn't give a damn about anybody and the way he teaches. If he's the only person teaching a particular course, try to skip it and take something else; like a GE or something. | |

EE 325 Junior Grade Earned: D Required (Support) 3:23 pm, Jun 4, 2001 Report Evaluation |
Professor Horton is a tenured profesor. HE DOES NOT GIVE A RATS ASS ABOUT HIS CLASSES!! He only teaches one or two quarters a year. I didn't learn anything in his class all quarter. It is a waste of time going to his class and he is boring as hell. He doesn't answer questions well and talks to you like you are an idiot. My friend who got a B said he had no idea how he got a B because he didn't know shit. Everyone does shitty on his incredibly hard tests. Do not take Horton, take Nafisi if you can. That's who I will take when I retake the class. | |

If you take Horton for lab, be prepared to figure things out for yourself. If you decide to ask him for help, he speaks down to you, as if you're an idiot. | |
