Overall an easy class as long as you have a good group. Group papers really are not that difficult - But beware he is a stickler for grammar.

Comment:

Great professor! Clear on what he expects and doesn't waste your time, if he finishes lectures early he gives you time to work with your group. Easy class but a stickler on attendance, I missed 3 classes, got an A on all group projects and the final but I ended with a B in the class.

He is an extremely easy GATEWAY Professor. The workload is less and allows more time on cases. I highly recommend!

Comment:

Gordon was a cool teacher. His teachings comes from the ppt slides, and he even tells you that you'll get a B or C just from following the ppt. but if you want an A, read the book too. attendance is not mandatory because he emails the slides to us along with the answers to the homework! you wont be able to take him b/c He's retiring after fall.

I found his class easy! Hw is easy. Tests arent too bad, although the wording can be weird at times. BUT he lets u use a cheat sheet for tests!Gives extra credit if u write hw prob on the board. Overall I'd recommend him. If u have questions he'll answer them.

Comment:

This is the worst professor I have ever had. I wish I never would have taken him, he is not helpful. I don't even think he owns the book he assigned because he always says he is not sure if its in our book. AVOID HIM AT ALL COST. I have always been good in math but this class makes me want to never see a stats problem again.

In order to pass his class few things are needed: read the book, make a great cheat sheet, do homework which is super easy, go to lectures which are super short. A is guaranteed!!!

Comment:

If you are a self learner then this is a good one to take. I only showed up to half the lectures. His lectures aren't really useful but he does give good useful knowledge when he gets away from the power points. The power points are boring. I would recommend him.

Comment:

This class is easy to pass, but not easy to do well in. Johnson himself is a nice guy who is decently friendly, but he grades on a very weird curve. He's not really willing to teach the stats part in lecture, but if you ask him individually, he'll show you. That's kind of a pain IMO. Also, his test questions are oddly worded compared to the book.

This guy is sooooo boring. He thinks he is funny but he isn't. Unless you're taking him for stats, which is his specialty, i suggest you stay clear. you will die of boredom!

Comment:

Reads off of ppt slides. Useless coming to class, especially when he usually cuts it short (sometimes 10-15 mins of lecture). He lets you have double sided notes during exams, but it's not super easy. You don't learn much. He curves grading and I would NOT recommend him!

Oh man. Talk about a guy who's completely lost touch with reality. He teaches with his eyes closed and wears his pants up to his chest. He rambles off subject constantly. Just read the book and the Powerpoints and make a great cheat sheet. As far as class goes... just sit there and try to be polite and not laugh.

Comment:

Quizzes and tests are an easy A if you study. I only got a B because I missed a lot of class! Very boring teacher, goes over slides provided by publisher, you can do that at home. Just read the book, study the homework, and ask questions if you're not sure as to how he wants your work to look like on the test. Boring, but easy A!

Useless lectures and did not learn anything from the class. Professor admits in class that he is "lazy"!! His tests are poorly written and do not test the material. The professor sbould definitely retire and let someone else who is more competent teach.

Comment:

This guy has no real interest in helping you. He lets you use a one sheet, two-sided paper for notes and gives you hints on what will be on the test but it is not always what he says. The test is completely different from what he says and its not very easy. Avoid him. Do not take him.

Nice guy, but not all that interested in teaching Gateway. He just wants you to try...so come to class and do all your projects. He is a stickler for grammar.

Easy professor. Not the greatest at exlpaining or telling what he wants. But even if your answers is wrong so long as you did the work you get a good grade. Picky about grammar, but easy B!

Comment:

This class can be confusing. I took it over summer and yes he wasn't very clear about what he wanted but when you emailed him or met him during office hours, he was helpful and clarified questions that you had. He is very picky about grammar in reports and WILL mark you down if you don't proof read. This class is overall easy if you go to class.

Comment:

Was not an easy class. The professor never seemed to be clear and when asked a question half the time did not know the answer, would say don't worry about that, and then ding us on our paper because we left that portion out. Tends to be an 'absent minded professor' He is a nice guy though, just doesn't know how to teach.
