Gives excellent resources for studying for his exams, even removes questions post exam if they are unfair. His lectures and examples are very compelling. One of the best professors in BARST.

I took this course not knowing what to expect, Gordon was so helpful in lectures (I never needed to see him otherwise), his powerpoints were so clear! But they are incomplete slides so you HAVE to attend as much as possible. The material is eye opening and interesting, I would take this course again in a heartbeat.

He's a great prof, very engaging and willing to answer any questions. It's best to show up all the time because all the powerpoints are fill-in-the-blanks. The critical reading forms are pretty easy too, just do them all (he asks for them at random) and you're guaranteed an extra 10%, which is helpful. Overall, good class.

Gordon is an amazing professor. I enjoyed attending his lectures and learning from the course. His teaching style makes it very easy to understand concepts and he's always willing to help with questions. His exams were very fair and tested all the material we were taught. I would recommend this professor to anyone, he rocks!

Gordon knows his stuff and the midterms were alright but the final was hard and i had a hard time with it and studied a fair amount. he sent out a study guide..tested on about a quarter of that and then tested MANY other things, so me focusing on the study guide more so than other stuff really screwed me up. fill in notes, so you must attend class

The content itself is manageable, make sure you study for exams. He does a chapter summary for each chapter and will take them in randomly for marks which is a nice grade booster. He posts partial notes, so come to class. When you make an appointment he is very helpful and friendly!

He helped write the textbook, and he really knows what he's talking about. Sometimes the material is a little dry, but he does well to include examples,etc.

Very good prof. Very helpful and will answer any question you have. He is a bit arrogant, and I didn't like him at first but his exams are straight out of the notes and he gives a study guide before each exam too. Very smart. He love diagrams so that is what is mostly on his long answer portions of the exams.

Great Prof. Notes are very clear and he hands out a study guide before each exam and practically evey question off the test is on the study guide. Must go to class to get notes and text book is really only needed when doing critical reading forms worth 5% of your grade. Loved the class!

Gordan Walker is an amazing prof. His notes and lectures are so organized and very easy to follow. He hands out study guides 1 week before exams which are very helpful. Exams are very simple, and as long as you read the chapters when they are due(the chapters are very short)you will get an A.
