Wendy is my absolute favorite professor I have ever had! She is hilarious! She really cares about her students and is willing to work with you. She is very good at explaining the material and makes class fun. No need to read the book for tests. Just need textbook to write the papers, which are easy if you follow the rubric. Tests are easy too.

She is a great professor! I looked forward to coming to her lectures. She told personal stories during every lecture that not only made the class entertaining, but made the material easier to understand and remember. She clearly cares about the class and cares about her students. If you take notes and go to class you will have no problem!

I LOVE WENDY TROPP-GORDON!!! She is my absolute favorite teacher! She mad us laugh everyday in class, and has a personal story to go with every lecture she gives. Tests require a little extra studying if you're into the subject, an a lot of studying if your not. Overall, a fantastic teacher. Pretty good looking, too.

Comment:

Wendy's class was my favorite since she kept her class interesting by relating her topics to personal stories. Her tests do require studying but she provides a study guide which is really helpful. Wendy does take in-class points, but they are always based off the lecture. I would take her class again or any other class from her!

Comment:

Wendy Troop-Gordon is an amazing teacher. She actually cares about her students and tries to make everyone laugh when she lectures. The only complaint is that you really need to know the material. Going over the lecture slides twice won't get you an A, or even a B. Other than that, the class was great I would definitely take it again.

Comment:

I had gotten to know Dr. Gordon on a person level and she is just as fun and easy going inside the classroom as she is outside. She has a sense of humor that makes the class worth going to. She treats her students as adults and that's one thing I really enjoyed. You need to work to do well in the class, but overall I thought it was pretty easy.

Comment:

Wendy is an average teacher. She had clear notes from her powerpoint slides. I thought her lectures were not fun. It takes persistence to pay attention the whole hour. Her tests and medium difficulty. If you put the time in you will get a good grade. I thought some of the test questions were trivial garbage.

She knows that she is talking about, and is pretty willing to help students. The lectures can get boring but thats to be expected. You have a few papers throughout the semester but the last one is def the worst.

Wendy is very, very helpful. She understands her students and their needs quite well, so if you're ever having trouble, don't be afraid to go to her office! She makes class enjoyable and interesting, and always has a good story or two to illustrate points. I thought even the papers were fun to write. Awesome prof!

I thought she was a great teacher probably one of the best I have had so far at ndsu. She is funny and makes lectures really interesting and she has good stories to go along with them. Her tests are easy straight from her notes. You will do fine as long as you go to class.

I felt that she was not a good teacher. She was very rude to me when I met with her in her office about a paper I had written. She gives hard tests, and the papers require a lot of work.

I really liked her class...as long as you study, her tests aren't to bad. I thought she was really fair. Her class was interesting and you could tell she was passionate about what she was teaching. I definitely think she must be one of the best psych teachers out there
