Comment:

DO NOT TAKE GORDON! There was only 2 tests and 1 final. All were between 15-20 questions that was worth 300 points all multiple choice. If you missed 2-3 problems would bump you down to an automatic B or C. He does not use canvas, everything is on paper. He doesnt allow questions and will tell you that you are stupid if you dont understand.

Comment:

Professor Gordon is probably the most confusing and boring teacher ever. He assigns at least 3 homework assignments per class and his lectures make no sense since all he does are problems in the book. His tests are multiple choice and only 15 questions but worth 200 points so if you miss even two problems it could lower you to a B or C.

Comment:

All he does is solve problems from the book on the board, expecting us to understand since it's "supposed to be review." No office hours and discourages us from asking questions. Lots of homework that he grades extremely hard and every question on a test is worth around 20 points, so miss one and you're already at a B.

Comment:

All he does it makes everyone look stupid when they ask questions. We had a lot of people withdrawing from the class because his way of teaching is hard to understand. He will always say this should be a review for you why do you guys not understand?. I hate going to his class everyday because I do not learn anything from his lectures.

Comment:

When I looked at the reviews before I took the class, I did not know what to expect and was worried of how I'd do if I took his class. After taking this class, I had nothing to worry about. He is nice and always willing to help students understand a problem if they do not understand it. I liked how all the tests were multiple choice.

Also, I got this teacher by chance since they switched out my original teacher with this guy. I was stuck with him and had no other option but to take him.

Comment:

Worst professor I have ever had! He had a very weird way of teaching that makes the material very confusing, and if you ever had any questions or did not understand something he would bring you down for it and would make you feel dumb. Overall it was a really bad learning environment to be in.

Comment:

The professor was very sloppy when writing problems out on the board. At times he doesn't finish solving the problem. He doesn't explain the material comprehensively. He makes you feel dumb when you ask questions. The textbook that was used had multiple errors on homework answers. I only passed this class last Fall 2016 b/c I took pre-cal in HS.

Comment:

I ended up dropping this class because I did not enjoy the classroom environment. If you asked a simple question he would make you feel dumb. After grading tests he lets A's leave first, then B's then C's and Then below would be last. So everyone could see who got what grade. That's not the kinda learning environment I would want to be in.

Comment:

I dropped this professor he is a very poor educator. They are supposed to INSPIRE! His theory on teaching is I show up, I teach, and I must be doing a good job so long as 80% of the class understands. And the 20% who don't should prepare better, see him in his nonexistent O-hours. He writes and speaks way to fast. And Was told he is TOUGH GRADER!

Comment:

This subject is pretty hard itself but this teacher does not help any in making it clear and easy. I was struggling through out the semester. I do not recomment this class. He is a nice person with a good heart but his way of teaching is not for college level. he is confusing sometimes.

Comment:

Overall, he's a fair teacher. He has his own way of teaching algebra that could work but could also be very confusing. He believes that math 116 is review so he goes really fast with each section. He assigns heavy homework per section and it's all due on test days( so don't slack! Or you'll have about 60+ math problems the night before the test)

Comment:

Worst math teacher I've ever had. Tries to teach you his weird way of thinking instead of just teaching the math. Homework counts for over 30% of your grade. He acts like the whole class is review and makes people feel stupid when they ask for help. Never has an organized plan and just chooses problems from the book to do on the board.

Comment:

His lectures were very hasty yet knowlegable, 8 function calculators were only allowed during exams, his third exam didn't have any of the study material taught in class. Grade is based off a scale. The textbook for fall 2016 was bad. I wouldn't recommend taking this class.

Comment:

He doesn't teach any of the formulas from the book and his lectures are reminiscent of high school level math classes. I stopped showing up after realizing his lectures didn't help with homework or tests. If you are stuck with him, just read the book, go to the math lab, and watch youtube videos about statistics. You'll be better off. I promise.

This was by far the worst professor I've ever had in my life. His classes are boring, his teaching methods are useless and confuse you even more. He gives very irrelevant examples. Nothing he teaches makes any sense... DON'T TAKE HIM IF YOU WANT TO LEARN SOMETHING

Worst professor I have ever had the displeasure of taking. Tests are not like the homework at all, he has the attitude that you better suck it up and deal with it because you need it for other classes. Well, I barely passed his class, went on to Math 96 and got an A.

Comment:

I think he creates a hostile work environment for a lot of students. I've actually heard him mock students, that doesn't seem too professional and I'm in the process of filing a formal complaint.
