Comment:

Professor Gordon was not very responsive in a timely manner. I took this class online and it was easy but difficult at times if you have questions about clarity on any papers. The quizzes were not bad but are timed so be careful if using quizlet for answers (lol). Start early on the assigned papers and you should do well. He takes forever to grade

He is an amazing professor because the workload is not too extreme and he was fair when it came to grading. Professor Gordon did his best to make the class engaging and easy to pass as long as you put forth the effort and completed the work.

I would definitely recommend the course to my friends and I would say that even though there is lot of work to do, the professor is very clear in his instructions. I never had the need to ask the professor for any uncertainty because he explained everything simple and clear, even sometimes with humor.

This is the 4th online class for me, and Gordon is the best I've had so far. Most weeks he gives either an easy multiple-choice quiz that is never timed, and the discussion posts aren't hard. I recommend him!

At first I took Professor Gordon for Freshman Comp I and that class was awesome! No textbook required, because he provides the material. Also, took him for Freshman Comp II. I highly recommend him as a professor. He answers any questions you may have regarding class. Really cares about your grade. Highly recommend this professor

His quizzes and exams are extremely hard and are timed. There is usually not enough time to complete the quizzes since he gives so little time. He also takes forever to grade.

Online classes can be hard, but Professor Gordons is not. From most weeks, there is a short story or poem followed by an easy multiple-choice quiz. Ever so many weeks there is a discussion posts, and I always got for credit.

I can honestly say I never really enjoyed classes that required writing, but Gordon keeps it interesting. He takes time with his students, and he seems to really give a damn.

This class was an absolute joy to take. I feel like Prof. Gordon really cares that I do well and that I actually learn what he's trying to teach. I have been having trouble getting back into the swing of academic writing, and I feel much more competent after this class.

I loved this professor! He gave plenty of time to complete the few papers due throughout the semester. I was dreading this class because i hate essays but he really gave plenty of time and so few assignments, this class was a breeze! He is a fair grader and gives awesome feedback to improve your work. Easy A and a very great and caring teacher.

Prof Gordon is so caring! Whenever I scored lower than I wanted on an essay, he worked with me to show where I went wrong. I learned so much from his class! I always looked forward to his classes because they were always full of awesome stuff. .I highly recommend him.

Comment:

Professor Gordon was the best! Had him for ENC1101 & ENC 1102. Had I known he was teaching LIT 1000 for humanities, I would have taken him for that class as well. No books required, homework/quizzes were not hard (mostly multiple choice) & he assigned about 3 papers. Easy A if you do the work. Very fair & personable. TAKE HIM!
