Comment:

Great professor, I took college algebra twice and pre-calc twice. But with Bruce Jordan, I passed on my first try. Attendance is mandatory, but I also wouldn't recommend this class if you are not a morning person. He is hilarious as well! Math 2205 isn't an easy course, but the way he teaches makes it less difficult.

Comment:

This professor was very discouraging when asked a simple question based on the material in class. Did not want to discuss review after class and left immediately at the time class was over. Be prepared to work hard yourself because this professor does not seem to want to go over examples.

Comment:

He is a really nice professor and goes over everything clearly. This isn't the class for you if you want to be a bit more social as he chastises you if you do. If you just do what you're told and follow the class, it should be an easy grade.

Comment:

He's a good math professor, especially if you're a math major/minor. I took him for a higher level math. That being said, he expects you know your basics, and you should. If you know the basics and you follow and take notes, there is no reason you shouldn't do well. His tests are exactly like what you do in class, and super clear. He's great!

Comment:

He can be rude sometimes but man is he a great teacher. I passed Calc on my first try because of Professor Jordan. There is a quiz before every test and he drops the lowest quiz grade. Mymathlab consists of 5-10 questions each. He assigns textbook homework but you dont have to do it since he doesnt check.

Comment:

The MOST annoying professor i've ever taken. Literally no communication with people even when you're confused. "Review" is going over 5 questions from practice test then him expecting you to know the rest. Will follow you outside the classroom if you want to look at your phone. 10/10 would NOT RECOMMEND! save yourself the time and energy

Professor Jordan is a great guy. Even though I had to retake this class because I failed the first time, it was my fault and not his. If you pay attention this class is easy. No text book use, all homework is online. He gives a quiz before exams and he literally just changes the numbers. Hes very smart. Do the homework, practice and you will pass.

I like this professor. 1) he allows you to sign inwithin 10-15 mins late. 2) the lecture could be hard . I went to SACC almost every week. keep up with the material 3) he will give extra points for the quiz not the final. drop lowest quiz + homework as well. 4) he give guidlines about what will happen in the exam (super helpful) take him !

Comment:

Probably one of the best professors I've had while in college. Each class he begins by reminding you when every assignment is due and when to expect any exams or quizzes. All homework is on mymathlab. After the first inclass quiz he'll review the whole thing and then give you the first inclass exam which is practically identical to the first quiz.

He can be rude at times but he is an amazing professor. He gives a quiz after we finish a chapter and then give a test a week later. The quiz and test have the same type of question. He prepares you well for the final, tests, and quizzes. He also gives really HIGH curves.

Comment:

He's a decent professor. Has a clear grading system. Explains all the materials thoroughly in lectures so you don't have to read the text at all. Always reviews previous topics before tests/quizzes that are in-class or on MyMathLab. Quizzes basically mimic the tests, so study from them. Just don't be late to class, he doesn't like that.

Comment:

Bruce Jordan is a wonderful calc professor. As someone who's never been good at math, I can definitely say this professor truly helped me understand difficult concepts. I was scared to take this course after receiving a C- in precalc, but with his clear teaching style I was able to get a B in calc. Would definitely recommend!

Take him. He is one professor that eats and breathes calculus! In other words, he knows his stuff! He basically gives you all the info you need to pass his quizzes and tests. Definitely prepare you for the final! But, thats just 50%, the other 50 is you devoting your time to studying because this course is not easy peasy.

Comment:

Bruce is not a very good person, but you're not in college looking to befriend your prof. That being said he was an amazing professor who gave a quiz in advance with the same topics for the exams, he gives extra credit on his exams and he prepares you really well for the final. Study/pay attention in class, it's def possible to get an A

Comment:

He is definitely not the nicest person, but his notes will definitely prepare you for the final. He knows exactly what's on the final and his quizzes and exams really help you. He usually gives a quiz a week prior to an exam and the format for the quiz is the same as the test. He also gives A LOT of curves.

Comment:

Even though this professor can be a jerk, he is very knowledgeable and straight forward. He'll tell you the exact format of the exams, quizzes, and final so you basically have to study that and you'll do fine. He will also drop the lowest quiz grade, and gives 10+ on each exam and quiz.

Comment:

Doesn't answer questions well, but is very clear about grading criteria. Gives a quiz which is essentially a replica of the real test one week before the test date. This means you'll probably do bad on the quiz but usually very well on the real test, which counts for a LOT more. Gives 10+ free points each test/quiz, regardless of grade. Take him.
