Comment:

He praises himself on only giving lectures even though no one can keep up with what he says. You try to write notes as fast as he talks and end up missing key points. He doesn't say how he wants his test done but yet criticizes every word you write in the essay. No matter if you participate and show up every class you're only graed on 2 test.

Be good at taking notes. He lets you record him because he only speaks during his class. Midterm and final questions are giving weeks in advance. Non mandatory attendance but skip and youll miss a lot of info. No homework or quizzes! Only midterm and final.

A sweet man with an incredible span of knowledge! He gives a spoken lecture (you can record him). He only writes down key dates, people or places. reading material is on blackboard but theres no need if you come to class. He doesnt give homework or quizzes only the midterm & final, Gives study questions weeks before. BE GOOD AT TAKING NOTES.

If you want to experience what it feels like to take a real college lecture in a 4yr college or a higher institution, this is the professor you would wanna take. His lectures are full of details and the way you want to take your notes or just record them is up to you. If u dont live up to the criteria, you get a lower grade.

Comment:

The best history teacher I've ever had; explains historical events so fully that you truly & fundamentally understand why they're important. Is lax & forgiving when it comes to attendance and tardiness. Though he lectures, he does write topics & definitions on the board. As long as you show up, listen, and take notes, you'll be more than fine.

Comment:

His lectures are not engaging at all. He likes to talk and participation is slim to none. He wants you to record the lectures and breaks down 2 questions into 5 questions in 1 for the midterm and final. Possibly 2 out of the 5 questions he actually taught in class. He is definitely a tough grader and with no logical method of grading.

Comment:

Don't buy the textbook, because he doesn't use it. There's no homework and no class participation. All he does is talk and you have to take your own notes and record his lectures. Class is graded on a midterm and a final which is in essay form. I suggest not to take his class. The only good thing I can say is, he has a bit of a sense of humor.

Comment:

He's a great professor. The problem is that many students at BCC are not ready for such tough course and to not being babied. I took his course and it was pretty hard, but I kept going and kept contacting him outside the classroom. He proved to be a sweet and nice guy who taught me an incredible amount of history I never forgot.

Hes a funny guy, I'm sure hes a cool overall but if u care about ur grades don't take this class. Talks non stop, does not write notes,he has you record his lectures and listen to it afterward so u can grasp it. Graded on only midterm and final and extremely hard grader. Hard to contact outside of class, doesnt use blackboard at all. He fails easy.

Comment:

Rented the book for nothing. Lectures have to be recorded. Sounded like a good idea in the beginning but once you sit down for an hour and fifteen min listening to the lecture you definitely don't want to listen to it again. He writes no notes so be ready to write your own.

Comment:

Professor Gordon knows his history. He is very knowledgable of everything that is going on but he gives NO notes, he just talks during the entire class. We get NO tests only a midterm and a final and his tests are supper difficult. I wouldn't take again. Don't recommend this class to anyone who is a visual learner.

HE have a good attitude but is you do not record all what he said from you will be able to pass the class. Be aware before to take his class because he did not use the mortarboard, he did not share notes in class. Everything is from his mind .So you need to record everything to pass the mid-tern and final .

Comment:

The key to passing this class is simple: - have a tape recorder handy, he requires this. - write notes in your own words as he talks. This man knows a LOT and the information may overwhelm you, that's why as a student, you should write down what information stands out most. He DOES give midterm and final review questions for you to study for.

Comment:

For me this wasn't a good professor. All he does is lecture and doesn't write any notes. He will make you use a tape record for his lectures. Most classes I fell asleep with the rest of the class because the lectures are so boring. He only grades you on the midterm & the final and does not give homework... Don't waste your time
