Comment:

Take him!! I took this professor in the summer for math 119 and I was scared because of the review I read but this professor is a great teacher I actually pass math and trust me when I say I don't like math and I know nothing in math. Just pay attention and you will pass.

It was hard for me and I asked him to explain but he didnt like it at first, but when he saw that I was not giving up, he started explaining with patient,because I finished high school 10years ago. He explains quickly, but in easy way. I showed my work during lessons, never was shy, while some students were. Do your best guys. Hes good professor

I missed many of his classes and missed a test, never did the homework but i learned enough of the material from the time i was in class. Just go to his class and pay attention he explains things clearly and knows the material very well.

He just doesn't like students asking questions to him. Keep saying "work it out" "try it" "do it by yourself"

Comment:

I have no clue how I pulled an A in this class. The professor is always late, gets an attitude when students don't understand the information and did I mention HE SPEEDS AND SKIPS THROUGH EVERY LECTURE!! HOW COULD YOU UNDERSTAND IT!!!!!!!. Gives extra credit for tutoring but that's it. Avoid at all costs

Comment:

Be forewarned; there are 32 involved homework assignments. Start turning them in immediately before you fall behind. Dr. Gordon treats his students like adults; he expects adult behavior. Attend class on time and do all required work and preparation for his exams. If you are serious about learning, you will do well in this class. If not, you wont

Comment:

Very horrible professor doesn't take time out to answer students question normally catches an attitude if a student disrupts a lesson to ask a question. He doesn't know how to teach at all & rushes through every topic. If your a math person I guess you can take him but if not don't take him very horrible.

Comment:

If you're a math person, than he is definitely someone you should take. But professor is perfect, he doesn't like too many questions or interruptions & is often late. You can tell he is very knowledgeable and he notices when a student actually puts in effort and cares. He teaches you everything you need to know to be prepared for the final.

Rushes through every topic and doesn't take time to explain. And if you ask him a question he gives you an attitude. He doesn't seem to like teaching. He looks like he's upset with life. I don't understand why he is teaching, it's beyond my understanding. My point is he doesn't care for his students. Don't waste your time!!

Great instruction, good feedback on questions, sets aside time for review and questions. Gives few quizzes but lots of homework and classwork. Lectures can be dull if you love math.

Comment:

You get the impression that he's a bit detached - late to class every day, and absent a few times. But he was one of the most clear and reasonable instructors I've had in my time at Queensborough. He doesn't grade homework and he won't roast you for lateness/absence. Differential equations was the most laid back class I ever had in my 4 semesters.

Winter Course 2016. You will love this Professor. Really smart and actually cares about the students he teaches, to pass the class. Do the homework the syllabus asks of you but only the problems he teaches in class, the textbook is mandatory to passing due to practicing outside of class, and it is just for your good of the passing grade. TAKE HIM!!
