Make sure to take notes during class. I plan on taking his class again.

I agree partly about the unclear lectures. He does not do baby steps... assuming students should be catching on. Good for some, bad for most. As for the quizzes, they were DIRECTLY from the HW. You could use HW & notes during so it was just copying if you did the work (which was not too extensive). Helpful at office hrs. I struggled but liked him.

I was in the 244 that those people below were in. Alex had to deal with some real belligerent dummies. Hmwk *was* due on the day of the quiz. 2 days later was when the separate written part was due. Quiz #'s were straight from the assignment. I for one appreciated his skipping basic addition and multiplication in a 200 lvl class.

Alex is a nice teacher. He knows what he is talking about and definitely he can teach. He gives prep-exams before the exams and they are similar to the actual exams. The group project was easy.

Good Instructor. Alex was very helpful during office hours. Wants students to succeed. Homework was very tough, but it helped prepare you for the exams. Very organized lectures. Overall great quality. I learned a lot in this course.

Alex is professional and dedicated. Be prepared to ask questions to get the most out of the class. I'm undoubtedly more interested in stats after having had him as a teacher.

Alex is an amazing professor. He is by no means out there to give easy A's but if you do the work then he sets you up for success. One of the best teachers I have ever had! Always willing to help and always prepared for class. Wish I could have him for every math class.

I took his 261 class in summer 2010. He is challenging, but gives students everything they need to succeed. He is a young teacher, so I think that he is still developing his teaching style. That said, he is clearly eager and committed to offer students whatever help they need. If you want a challenge, but a manageable one, take him.

Good teacher. Def not an easy A. He moves at a fast pace so just be ready for that. Really helpful after during office hours.

Tough but not too tough. He makes it very clear that he is willing to help if you email him, visit him during office hours or in the tutoring center and during class. The tests were pretty straightforward. The homework was kind of annoying, short but he seemed to pick the more difficult problems from the book, ones that were rarely even on the test

A gifted teacher. Also, super cute in kind of a nerdy way.

Awesome Teacher. Good lectures. Take tones of notes or you will be sorry.

Alex's class notes were easy to understand and posted online after class. Class group worksheets made lecture engaging and I left class understanding material. Review for weekly quizzes and not too bad. Many students needed tutoring lab help w/ online homework. Very little textbook use. Follow his notes and class examples. Enjoyed the class!

I have taken this class before where we were expected to know everything. When it came to Alex he was very helpful and always gets back to your emails. He is very welcoming in his office hours even on the simplest of questions he is willing to help taking another class from him.

Alex is not a bad teacher, but statistics is a very hard class. I wouldn't bother buying the book; the tests are based directly off the webwork. I spent HOURS in the tutoring center to get through this class, Alex is a better teacher in a one-on-one setting. The tests are easier than the homework, don't panic, but do finish the homework for an A.

Alex is a pretty good Inst. I would recommend him for sure. He's pretty straight forward and is a generous grader.

Alex is one of my favorite teachers. I took mth 253 and 254 with him and I am glad I did. he is'nt easy but if you go to school to gain knowledge you will be happy to learn from him. webwork is optional, test scores replace lower webwork scores. if you need help, don't waist your time at tutor lab. go to office hours. he quicklyanswers every email.

Alex is a fantastic instructor. By no means an easy class but he gives you all of the resources that you need to succeed and is very helpful inside and outside of class

Alex is a really nice instructor,he explains everything in the class and if you still have problems just send him an email he will respond quickly,tests are straight forward and for sure no tricks!!!

He's so good, never met a teacher more eager to help than Alex. You'll love this class and he puts helpful files online

Alex is a great teacher. Like others have said, if you want to learn and retain the knowledge Alex is the guy to go to. He's not easy, but the class it is well structured. Uses Excel - no calculator. He responds to emails quickly and is available to help. I wish he was teaching 244 this quarter!

Alex is an okay math teacher. His lectures are boring in my opinion, very cut and dry. His notes are hard to make sense of but he does post them online. He doesn't make it a point to have any friendly banter with the class however if you ask questions he will help . The homework is all online and webwork is an incredibly frustrating program.

Alex was an amazing instructor but his class totally kicked my ass. A lot of it had to do with my inability to focus solely on his class, I was also taking a biology honors course, my bad on doing those together. Anyway, Alex was understanding and patient, he made it my responsibility to ask for extended due dates. So make sure you speak up!

Professor Jordan was a really great teacher overall. He was clear on the content we were covering and would be more than happy to go over a concept again. We also had a period of class time to go over homework which was very helpful. I didn't use my textbook hardly at all though which was disappointing since I spent $100 on it.

This is by far my favorite teacher I've ever had. Honestly i hate math. its confusing and difficult. but Alex has a way of breaking that confusing math jargon into something you can understand. He's enthusiastic about math and always available to help if you need it. He also has a free online math book that he is working on for students to use.

He's a really nice guy and is very helpful, but he uses this GHASTLY online program for homework that makes you want to kill yourself. I went from absolutely loving math to HATING AND FEARING IT after just one day in his class. Homework doesn't fully correspond with what he teaches in lectures. Very confusing and frustrating experience!

Alex is incredibly responsive to students, even when out of the office. He's lightning-quick with email replies and will take as much time as needed to help you along. Some of the problems seen in WebWork didn't look familiar from class, but a look in the book or a quick email to Alex helps. Show up, pay attention, and you'll be fine.

The first day of class, Alex warned us that this would be a very fast passed term and that if we don't keep up on homework it would be very easy to fall behind and fail. This class kicked my butt, but I put in the hours and I received an A! He was very knowledgeable and always helpful. Would take a class from him again.

If you've taken any 200 level math class you know you don't get to skate by. In my opinion Jordan is a fair grader and offers material to brush up on if you don't remember your math that well. He uses webwork which I feel is better than Pearson. He responds in a timely matter and is a great teacher.

Taught well, students were rarely left in confusion. Plenty of group work as well as time to talk to him individually.

Organized, clear, & well structured but VERY particular in grading. Your game better be 120% or don't take Jordan if you want an A. Approx 60 HW prob/wk, includes online via WebWork & conceptual written assignments, group project is intense but only worth 10%, no EC offered. Use PRECISE language if you ask questions, b/c he'll play "dumb."

Great teacher! You have homework everyday and it's due every Wednesday which is great. He is super understanding and you have 3 tests throughout the term!

Alex is a good professor but DO NOT take MTH243 online unless you are highly proficient in math. The textbook is quite confusing and the homework is challenging. His tests are quite a bit easier than the homework/quizzes, assuming you study. The professor is available for help but you need to be a self-learner first.

I had calculus with Alex and I must say that he is very gracious and well spoken. The concepts in that class are difficult for most of us but Alex managed to ensure that they were understood. Late work does not matter much in this class and that was an added bonus to having a good teacher.

Looking back on the class I can see that Calculus is actually easy, but when you start off it's challenging because it takes a while to grasp the concepts. Alex does a phenomenal job of taking his time and making sure you understand the material. You need to put in the work but as long as you understand the theory of Calc You'll be able to get an A

Alex's lecturing style is clear, and he moves a good somewhat slower pace. At the end of class there's lots of time set aside to work on problems and ask questions, which is really helpful if you zone out a lot during lectures. He'll always give you an extension if you ask for one, even on the quizzes, and is pretty chill about attendance too

Alex, was very responsive throughout the course--getting back to my multiple emails always within less than 24 hours. His calm demeanor greatly simplified what is often a difficult and non-intuitive subject (calculus). His mastery of the subject made concepts that can be difficult, more straightforward and clear. Highly recommend!

Alex is a professor who possesses the rare combo of both knowing how to break down difficult concepts and explain them patiently and intuitively, and the incredible understanding needed to meet students where they're at. His class will challenge you, but it's never unfair, and he genuinely cares about your success. Cannot recommend this guy enough.

Hes a great professor and really takes the time to explain anything to you if you dont understand it. I missed a few classes and was failing the class but he was kind enough to allow me to make up the work and even the missed attendance. He also extended this kindness to other students who needed help.

I definately recommend Professor Jordan! He cares about his students and wants them to do the best they can. He is flexible with due dates which is great if you are taking a lot of classes and/or working. He will go over your specific homework question in class or in a separate meeting if you need.

Alex was an amazing professor. He was always ready to help & accessible through email or his office hours. I really appreciate his understanding when it came to his students having work or other conflicts with the class. All zoom classes were recorded, so if anything was missed, you could go back to watch them. I also liked how engaging he was.

First, the book is free, digital, and has a video lecturer who goes through examples. Next Mr. Jordan has an in-depth grasp of the material. He presents the material from multiple views and methods for completion. He even has a firm grasp of the historical perspective on the math which I found helpful. His feedback is thorough and supportive.

One of the very few professors that takes the time to write out lecture notes during class and at a pace that students can follow. He also answers email questions including helping you solve homework questions quickly and at seemingly all hours. Finally, his online homework has unlimited retries, which really helped me understand questions.

Professor Jordan is a great professor. I wouldn't say that his class was easy; however, if you pay attention to the class and ask questions then you should be fine in the class. The professor is also very generous with the deadline for homework if you provide a good reason for it and often available when you need help with something.

I loved Alex so much. I was worried to take him because of these reviews but he was so great. He explained concepts really well and the homework on webwork was almost exactly what the quizzes and exams were like. He was able to help me outside of class really easily even when he was about to have dinner with his family.

One of the best, most caring professors I have encountered. You can tell he cares about you and wants to make sure you pass his class. He would send emails listing things you could do to raise your grade. 100% recommend taking his classes!!!!!

Got back to us quickly with emailed questions.

I was very nervous going into his class because of the bad peer reviews but this was a really great class! Alex would even go out of his way to inform you on how to correct your mistakes and how you can pass the class. Very informative when it comes to answering your questions. And is very forgiving on assignments. (Would recommend)

He goes beyond out of his way to make sure you pass. He cares out all his students.

I was going through tough times and I thought it would be hard for me to pass but Mr. Alex stuck with me till the end and always gave feedback on what to do. At the end I passed thanks to him. Might not be the best material in class but definitely the perfect teacher. Very caring about his students.

you only need to do three things a week, webwork, discussion and a worksheet. This can be easy but only if you stay on track if not you will fall behind. Hes a great teacher take his class!

I had really good experience taking class from this professor he really put time into helping students individually inside and out of class, wanted his students to do well, was understanding when need be but still offered a pretty well rounded class with just enough challenge to keep me engaged. I would definitely recommend & take from him again.

A seriously great teacher, he gives one on one help in his office hours, and they were absolutely instrumental in getting me a good passing grade. He's really nice and the grading deadlines for some assignments are really flexible, very generous.

I hadnt taken a math class for a couple years before I took this course however, Alex was very helpful in explaining things the book treated as common knowledge and was very accessible by email for questions about both technical errors and troubles with homework problems.

Mr. Jordan has genuine intention to deliver an education to each and everyone of his students. He truly cares about students and will provide suggestions on what can be done to improve your grade. Would definitely recommend

great professor one of the best math teachers at PCC.

I loved taking Professor Jordans class! I was never a big fan of math in high school, but he has a great way of leading you to the answer and not making you feel dumb for not knowing. I think distance learning is always hard, but it was nice to be able to see some of his quirky personality pop through in class. Great professor!!

My goodness I'm every thankful to have had Mr. Jordan as a math professor. Honestly he was well prepared and thoroughly into teaching and making sure you knew where you were and what you could do to get your grade up. Office hours were great for me. I felt that even though I struggled in many areas that he never lost patience or for frustrated.

I loved Alex! I was a bit worried because I read the other reviews on here but he was nothing like the comments said! Definitely would recommend.

Alex is a great teacher and I understood the concepts in his class. Beware, he knows when you use online calculators for solving. Make sure you show your work.

This was by the far the hardest class Ive taken but it was SO FUN. This dude loves to give word problems so be prepared for lots of those. I was challenged but now I'm better student because of it. I hope I get to take another one of his classes as I advance. :)

Alex is an excellent instructor. His lectures are straightforward and fun. He cares about the class as a whole and as individuals. I would retake an Alex Jordan class in a heartbeat. Plus - he can write upside down!!

A lot of homework, but if you do it all you are pretty much guaranteed a passing grade, you WILL understand the material if you do all the homework. There are parts you could skip that arent worth very many points like lecture notes but if you're watching the lecture anyway.... just take the notes. Good class, chill professor.

Alex is a great teacher and I enjoyed taking his class. He cares about his students and he is reachable outside of class to answer questions. I would definetly take his class again!

Fair, responsive, quick to answer questions. My absolute favorite thing about this Alex is if you study his study guides you will pass the exams. I also liked that you got the week before the big exams to study the study guide.

Alex Jordan is a very caring teacher who wants to make sure everyone e has what they need to succead in his class.

Great professor. Flexible, understanding, and helpful.

This professor is great for students with learning disabilities. He is a student-centered teacher who works with disability services to accommodate student needs and help his students be successful. A+ would take a class with him again.

I love Alex. Super helpful, always willing to stay late after class and give extra attention to whoever needs/wants it. He even wrote to five other teachers saying I did well enough to place into atleast Math 95 to help me save some time and money. I hope I get the chance to have him as my instructor again.

Great professor! Loved this class, very straightforward assignments that directly related to exams.

You learn basic, but it isn't basic in the excersice.

He explains things clearly during his lectures and is helpful during office hours. Class is spent on 1.5-2 hours of lecture, and then working on homework individually or in groups. Weekly homework consists of a ~4 page worksheet, and some online exercises. Homework is worth 50% of your grade, exams(3 total) are worth 48%, and attendance 2%.

Very engaging lectures—Alex also often reviews tricky homework problems during class. The homework is difficult, but good preparation for tests, which are easy by comparison. One negative is that graded homework is sometimes returned fairly late, but tests are graded promptly. Overall, my favorite math professor at PCC—would highly recommend.

One of the best teachers I've ever had. MTH 251 is a difficult class, but Mr. Jordan makes it much easier by breaking down problems in a simple and clear way. He is always available to help. I went from almost passing to earning an A. One advice i would suggest is don't hesitate to ask questions—he turns lemon questions into lemonade.
