He is a great professor. He has worked in the field so he know what he is talking about. Gives great details during lectures, also uses PowerPoint. Don't have to read textbook to pass. About a 2 page paper per week based on the textbook.

Great professor! Very experienced with the field. A lot of lectures but most of it is material from the powerpoints and the textbook. Take good notes and study and the exams will be easy. Textbook is mostly for the homework, which are always short papers (1-2 pages) about specific topics. No quizzes. Takes attendance.

Professor Jordan is really great! The course material & exams are really easy if you just listen to the lectures. He gives out weekly writing assignments that have to be a page and they come from the textbook but they're really easy to write in like an hour tops. He also drops the 2 lowest assignment grades. Go to class! Attendance is an easy 100.

Do the assignments and study for the test and you will pass.

Professor Jordan does a very good job teaching this class. He is very experienced in the field and brings in a lot of guest speakers. The lectures can be a bit boring and he uses minimal PowerPoints while he reads from the textbook. There are online assignments but they are not very difficult. Come to class and study and you will get an A.

Professor Jordan is a great instructor. He has lots of experience in the criminal justice field but he is new to teaching. His lectures aren't the best and he tends to read straight off powerpoint. Sometimes he can be a little scatterbrained since he's so new but it's obvious that he's passionate about what he's teaching and his students.

Super chill guy. Easy going and uses textbook in class. A short response essay every week but it really isn't that big of a deal and he drops your lowest. No quizzes or pop quizzes. Took him for intro to criminal justice and chose him for again forensics. Also lowkey pretty hot. Only downside is some lectures can tend to be a little boring.

Mr. Jordan has been by far one of the best professors I've had during my time here at ECU. He knows the material he teaches and is very good at lecturing.

Good Professor, The criminal justice 2004 class he teaches though, sucks. A lot of memorization, and he only gives out a study guide on the final. Oh, and the final and research paper are worth 55% of your grade. Fail one, you'll probably fail the class.

He is the best! 10 out of 10 recommend! More than willing to help you with anything you need!

Jordan is probably one of THE best professors in the criminal justice department I've had this far. He's super easy to talk to and he will reply to your emails. He says you should get the textbook but it should be optional. The textbook helped a lot though when you're confused. Lecture heavy but everything in the lecture is on the quiz/exam. EASY!

Prof. Jordan is a good teacher, his tests are all multiple choice and he uploads his power points online, but attendance is part of your grade so definitely go to class.

He was a great instructor, knew his information for Corrections. Had a lot of speakers in the class. I highly suggest taking his class.

I've taken him for all 3 of my JUST classes, and I have gotten an A in each one. He is a great professor. Attendance is definitely mandatory. Super easy exams, and he often offers extra credit. The only downside is that he teaches straight from the powerpoints, so lectures can be a little dry.

Took Mr. Jordan for both JUST 2004 & 2009. One of the best professors I've ever had at ECU. Show up for class and take good notes. Powerpoints are posted online and a good source for review since the exam questions are worded the same. Don't waste your money on the books. Lots of guest speakers and always available for questions. 10/10 recommend!

Mr. Jordan is a nice and knowledgable professor. Attendance is mandatory and on Top Hat so you have to go. You have to answer participation questions on there and only get half credit if you answered it wrong. But attendance and participation is only 15% of grade. Tests and quizzes are both pretty much straight from power point and not hard.

He is a little dull, but overall a really great professor. He has alot of guest speakers and opportunities for trips to correctional institutions. Really good class overall.

Mr. Jordan is so helpful with assignments and wants to help you learn the material. He isn't so clear on what's on the exams/ quizzes, so as long as you show up to class & take good notes you're fine. He tells you its "what I covered in class." He is willing to help you if you show effort. Attendance matters, you only have 2 free skips.

Professor Jordan is a great teacher. He has guest speakers a lot. You have to come to class and participate on TopHat. Quizzes and texts are usually straight from the powerpoints. Very interesting class but sometimes the lectures are dry.

A couple things you should know before taking this class is that it's extremely lecture heavy (EdPuzzle). Within this class we've had discussion boards (10) but you can skip 3, quizzes (6) but he drops the lowest quiz grade, 2 exams + 1 final (camera) and 1 essay (3-5 pages). Lastly not least, he's a fast communicator.

I had Professor Jordan for my intro to Criminal Justice online class. His pre-recorded lectures were very long and can get boring at times but if you read the chapters and pay attention to the slideshows on the lectures, you will succeed in the class with ease.

He is very chill and laid back. Attendance is mandatory but he usually gives his students two free days. He grades a little heavy on his discussion boards and always be sure to study for the exams and quizzes. Overall, he was a great professor and I had a great semester in his class.

Jordan was a good teacher and honestly one of the easier classes of my semester. Tests are super easy they are the exact same questions from the quizzes you take before hand. All of these bad reviews are either just from people who took the class online or failed based on attendance. Super easy class for an elective, would recommend.

Lectures are pretty boring, so I don't recommend him for an AM class because you will want to go to sleep. ADVICE - He uses TOPHAT for attendance. It is location-based so you have to be near the computer that generates the code. It also has all of the PowerPoints that he uses. Take notes before the class, so it becomes more of a review.

very lecture-heavy, if you have questions, ask them. wants students to create discussion in his class. sets up a few tours and guest speakers, which is amazing if you are looking for places to do an internship. he uses tophat for attendance and only gives out the chapter presentation after finishing teaching it. extra credit opportunities as well.

Overall he was a great professor! His lectures can be boring but if you take notes and read the textbook you'll be fine. He had several guest speakers come in over the semester which was really great. He truly does enjoy teaching and likes when students ask questions and engage the lectures. 3-4 homework assignments, 3 exams, and a final.

I genuinely liked Prof Jordan. He has a lot of experience in the field, and uses easy examples in order for you to better understand the material. I did very well in this class because I studied. You must study to earn an A. Plus, the material is very straightforward. But beware: he also grabs his test questions from the textbook.

When I first took this guy I thought he was kind of strict. However the more I got to know him I realized he is a real passionate guy and as long as you show up for everything you will d

Chad's class was enjoyable some days, if you don't mind taking notes they go by quickly. Exams are easy if you follow the guides and offer lots of extra credit opportunities and guest speakers.

Professor Jordan talks the whole time throughout the lectures. Class will never be canceled or let out early. Many guest speakers and extra credit is offered. Not many assignments to be graded on, so studying for tests is important. Lots of information is given out, but most is not even on the tests or quizzes. He moves at a slow pace.

He explains lectures realy well from the textboook. On his exams, the anwsers are legit based on the power points and quizzes. He is very respectful, really good at responding back to emails, and fair grading professor. He is not really intimidating. I got to know professor Jordan really well this Fall '23 & Sping '24 semester.

Attendance is mandatory. Wouldn't say he is a strict grader, however, there are few assignments in the gradebook. Most of the outside-of-the-classroom work, as long as you do it and turn it in on time, is an easy A. He is very good at what he does and as long as you apply yourself the class is fairly easy.

Although Mr. Jordan might be somewhat serious, he has an in-depth understanding of subject matter. His classes are easy, if you pay attention. He is a great person and always willing to explain anything without judgment. Studying is a must -- all test material can be found within the PowerPoints and random things mentioned in his lectures.

Chad is a good guy. He does make attendance VERY mandatory and he does give somewhat difficult tests, however he is the most passionate CJ teacher at ECU. He strictness is only to make you better. It is probably the only class at ECU where i actually retained information. I know his lectures are a bit monotone but just deal with it trust me.

Chad Jordan is a great professor, he knows a lot about the material and will help you as much as he can. He gives extra credit questions on exams which help your grade a lot. He doesn't give formal study guides, but he will give a doc with important information from each chapter to help you understand more. Attendance is important in this class!

Teacher is not very understanding. Attendance is mandatory, lectures are boring, lots of extra credit/guest speakers. We had two tests and a final, 5-6 quizzes, and some attendance work. Overall this class was not super hard, but it is one you have to study for. Just make sure to take notes and do the work. I didn't buy the textbook and was fine.

Professor Jordan is great! Nice guy and very knowledgeable. Had him twice and enjoyed both. Lectures can be really boring, and the amount of guest speakers is a bit extreme, but the class is an easy A as long as you GO! Quizzes are all online and easy. Review the quiz questions for the tests and you'll be good! LOTS of extra credit opportunities.

Mr. Jordan is a great dude who cares a lot about his students. People who give negative reviews probably didn't try in his class or got a poor grade. Pay attention and take notes in the class and you will get a decent grade. Talk to him if you have something going on, he will help you.

Although his class was mandatory, very strict on attendance, his class was very interesting. If you want to be in the Criminal Justice field, Chad Jordan is the guy you want teaching you. Just be prepared to study for tests, as they are worth a majority of your grade, same with his lockdown quizzes. He also does extend class out by a few minutes.

I get why some people dont like him. When I took him attendance was required, his lectures were long and sometimes got boring, but he was truly a good professor that just wanted you to do well. If u simply read the notes and powerpoints he makes the class is actually pretty easy. Hes a good contact to have too for post grad. Has good guest speakers

He's a VERY nice guy. Lectures can be a bit boring. But, he's a GREAT professor. Great at teaching the material & explaining it in a way to make sure you get it. He always emphasizes what's important and what will be on quizzes/exams. Just listen in class and jot down the important stuff, you'll pass with an A. He's a great guy, with a great class.

Attendance is mandatory, but all of his rules are very valid. Test are hard, lectures not always the most entertaining but assignments are very easy and he is very knowledgeable and helpful.
