Comment:

Gordon is an extremely boring prof; however, his exams are fair and if you need extra help he is willing to help. As long as you read the textbook and do the questions from the study guide you will do well on the final and on the midterm.

Lectures were not really mandatory as slides were all posted online. Textbook used for clarification, but overall all necessary information were in his powerpoints. Fair tests as long as you studied.

You can definitely skip out of his lectures, it's useless. All you have to do is read the textbook, but the final is extremely hard!

Comment:

Awful awful professor. He doesn't do any examples in class; he opens up each chapter from the textbook; blabs for an hour and then powers through all the slides while reading things off of the screen. You can do really well by reading the textbook and understanding the concepts. Tutorial questions and study guide are essential. Classes are boring.

Comment:

Gordon is a great guy. Yes, his slides are straight out of the textbook, but he uses very thorough explanations and interesting examples. He really wants his students to understand what he is talking about. He's always open for questions, I spent a lot of time in his office hours. Exams are difficult but fair.

Lectures were not necessary. All the material covered is straight from the text, which he provides on powerpoints available online. Textbook is useful for further clarification. Exams were fair as long as you study. Overall, a good prof. Recommended.

Prof is good. He covers all the material clearly. For people who aren't interested in Economics he will be boring, but I found him to be very interesting and insightful. He also had very fair exams if you studied.

Lectures are killer. Especially the 2 hour one. You will fall asleep guaranteed. All of his lectures (posted on Webct) are straight from the textbook. Monotone voice. Study guide & textbook are really helpful. Go to tutorials. Midterms were fair but final was horrible.

Go to lecture and take good notes. Some tricky questions on the exams to see who's been paying more attention. Barely used the text in the exams but it helps to understand the material. Not much reading. Overall decent prof.

pretty good prof. he takes things slow, makes sure that you understand the material fully. love his 2 midterm system! one thing: ALWAYS GO TO LECTURE AND TUTORIAL. for some reason he loves the text book even though its a bus. text. he can be boring and sometimes his lectures does not make sense until you read the text. would take him again.

Comment:

Not a good prof. He's nice but does not know what he's talking about. Always has to refer to his notes and he's teaches things that aren't in the textbook. So you have to know both textbook stuff and stuff he teaches. TAKE 290 WITH SOMEONE ELSE !
