Style & personality
Dr. Thornsberry is exceptionally knowledgeable, but teaches strictly from power points. this can be very boring. Add to that his monotone voice and it's snoozeville for many people. Tips for staying awake:
- sit in front
- write the notes (even if you printed them off ahead of time)
- drink a soda (or equally caffeinated drink)
You'll learn a lot in his class . . . if you can stay awake.
In contrast to his boring facade, reports are that he's more lively in upper-level classes, perhaps because students are not so tightly packed in in those. Genetics, for example, is said to be fascinating.
Student opinions
Daniel: He's a really nice guy and I think he's as bored with gen. bio as you will be. Oddly enough, I wasn't that bored too often because I found biology interesting. Bored = sleeping. I certainly couldn't have been more productive elsewhere. Print the powerpoints, take notes on them. And then for the tests, I rewrote them and got an A no problem. Definitely take him for genetics, he loves it, you'll love it.
kenzie: Thornsberry is a genetics teacher. Therefore, his general biology class is boring, reflecting his lack of interest in teaching. Really nice guy though, and an easy class to do well in.
