Great professor. Gives detailed lectures so pay attention. You have to have a paper notebook for diagrams. Pay attention to the book and little facts she talks about during her lectures they will be on the test.

Comment:

There is no extra credit in her lecture she talks very fast the class is only graded by 4 test grades and thats it she is very rude and not helpful when you ask her questions. She does not like students walking in late! I would not recommend her to anyone she just talks the entire time gives out the packet to follow along and it isn't like the test

Comment:

Not very understanding and only seems to care about her class--nothing else is important. I was hospitalized in the beginning of the semester and when i emailed her to warn her i would miss ONE class she told me "if you're not going to take my class seriously, i suggest you drop." I went to make it up and she wouldnt even take the work. THE WORST

Gordon is great at conveying material and could answer any question I had on the concepts. She is tough but fair. Grading is generous and really prepares you for practicals. Truly enjoyed her lab.

Her teaching style is extremely inadequate. Her study guides help you little for the tests which are the only thing that affect your final grades. I spent much time studying but never got higher than a C on her tests. If science is your weak subject then stay away.

Ms Gordon is a good professor, even though she might seem a little bit cold sometimes. However, if she sees that you carry about her class and try to do something, she will be there and help you if you do need her help. I loved the class, even though it was a lot of hard work

Comment:

She is a good professor but gets off subject most days. Her lectures are overall fun and interesting but her exams *there are 5, are absolutely hard to pass. I studied around the clock for weeks and have received mediocre grades. Not quite sure what I am doing wrong. She is strict on attendance as well.

Comment:

There is no study guides to tell you what might be on the quiz. Doing the questions at the end of the chapter will help some. Wants you to study after 24 hours, which isn't possible because people have jobs and are taking other classes. Bring tissues and cough drops when you're sick and don't hesitant to use them.

Dislike her very much. My entire class thought she was horrible and she is the least compassionate person. Shes a though grader and a horrible teacher. Do not take this teacher, I'm a straight a student and she gave me my only "B" ever.

Awesome professor! Explained the material well and gives extra credit on everything (even the practicals). You still need to study in order to pass, but that extra credit can raise your grade by up to 10 points.

Sorry if my post from 12/21/14 sounded harsh. Gordon does know her stuff and will help you a bunch during office hours. It's just that her teaching style did not fit the way i learned. You must dig hard if you want to do well. She is unorganized, and strict but she will help you out during office hours don't be scared. I recommend Mrs. Wrenn though

Mrs. Gordon is very specific and has rules in the classroom that have to be followed. Strict on attendance. Tests are hard but she truly does supply you with all the information needed to pass. Studying is a must! Notes are bland and boring but read the textbook and study and it will make sense. Don't take her 8am though..

Comment:

She does have a tough exterior and I can see why others would find her rude. She is not my cup of tea but I don't find her offensive either. She is very knowledgeable in the subject and is more than willing to explain material and go into detail. She is disorganized. Strict in attendance but not sure why that would bother students.

She really knows her stuff, I thought she was a great teacher. Like most people said she is a little difficult and can take some time to get used to. If you're a bio major I would suggest taking her class. She would be most helpful.

Comment:

DO NOT take her 8:00am class. You will fall asleep. This was one of the most boring professors I have ever listened to. She gets really mad at you if you even glance at your phone or put your head down for a second. Her test are tough and require a lot of studying. Do not take her if you want a professor that doesn't sound like a robot.

Ms. Gordon was hard to get used to at first, but once you figure her out she's fine. She really knows her stuff, but she is a bit disorganized!

This professor knows her stuff and is comfortable explaining if you ask. She has set rules in her class and wants then followed. She is strong willed but that's to keep the room in order and maintain control.

Comment:

Ms. Gordon is such an intelligent professor! She gives you the info you need to do well, but you need to study your butt off to succeed. If you apply yourself, study hard, you should be able to get an A! She can be easily annoyed, but don't let that discourage you from asking for help. She actually notices when students are making efforts!
