Dr. Jordan is an amazing person, never mind teacher. He is incredibly patient, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, inspiring, and helpful. He makes you work for your grade, but you'll learn from every class and every assignment. I took him for both Strategic Management and my CAPSTONE and I was very satisfied with both. TAKE AT LEAST 1 OF HIS CLASSES!
