Awesome professor, awesome class. Inspiring, clear, fair. He puts an immense amount of work into the class. Everyone should take the class, regardless of major or interest. Learned a lot and was inspired. Awesome class.
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!
Knows what he's talking about because he lives it. Will help you succeed at whatever you're interested in accomplishing. Take a class with Prof. Jordan if even remotely interested in starting your own business and/or in saving the world.
Dr. Jordan is the kind of professor you always hope to find, and rarely do. He cares strongly about the material that he's teaching, and who he's teaching it to. He's both highly optimistic, and strongly grounded in reality; his classes give you the skills to make the change you want to see in the world.
Dr. Jordan is one of the best professor I have had at Clark. He is incredibly passionate about the subject matter and puts a lot of time and effort into the course. He is always available after class and is very supportive and engaged with students. I HIGHLY recommend taking this course, regardless of your major.
Dr. J is without a doubt one of the best teachers I've ever had. His enthusiasm for teaching is unparalleled, and he does a tremendous job pulling every student in to the daily discussions. It would be to everyone's benefit to take at least one course with him.
Easily, Social Entrepreneurship is the best class I've taken in My college career. Mostly because DR. Jordan taught it, he is a large inspiration for following my dreams. When you meet him, he is both a humble teacher and a friend. He has helped me redefine my sense of a holistic education. Take his class. A real mentor who listens with pure heart.
Dr. Jordan is among the best professors at Clark. The Social Ent. class should be required for all Clark students. Many classes discuss globalization and poverty etc, but few provide a skillset to solve the problems associated with them. Dr. J continues to be an invaluable resource. I can't recommend this course/him STRONGLY enough. Truly inspiring
This course was very informative and the material has proven highly relevant to my non-profit career since graduation. Dr. Jordan is a highly trusted and valued resource with a great deal of valuable experience to share.
Dr. Jordan is a very inspirational professor. I recommend that anyone who has the opportunity to take a class with him does it. Despite his other obligations, he is very attentive and makes you love the subject. There is a good amount of work in his class but though that, you learn a lot, so it is worth it.
Dr, J is tremendously enthusiastic in creating future leaders. Not only is he devoted to teaching in the classroom, he takes a genuine interest in the success of all his students outside of the classroom. He is a wonderful teacher, supporter, and person.
Professor Jordan is an amazing Professor. He was completely invested in ensuring that the student was learning and comprehending the work. Professor Jordan made the classes personal as well, supporting students to take their own paths and providing unconditional support. I can't say enough wonderful things about him!
Inspiration, clever and sincere.
I enrolled in Dr Jordan's Social Entrepreneurship class b/c of the reviews others gave him outside Clark & I took as many classes as possible after that including MPA Strategic Management class & asked him to be my MPA Capstone advisor. He is the most engaging, enthusiastic & insightful professors I have had the honor of working w/ & learning from
Dr. Jordan is incredibly inspiring, passionate, and dedicated. I recommend this class often and loudly.
Great professor!
BEST class I took. Extremely helpful and enthusiastic about the subject. Dr.J is truly an inspiration. Everyone should take this class regardless of their major.
One of the best professors at Clark...very motivating and ambitious...It was a life changing class...I hope I can take more classes with Dr.J...I have telling everyone to take this class now...its amazing and one of the best experience I had at Clark..
The best teacher I've ever had.
Dr. J is one of the greatest professors I have ever had. His courses are challenging, in that he asks a lot of you, but he is there for you every step of the way. He is the kind of professor that you want to work hard for, and the end result is usually success in class and a very satisfied and rewarding personal fulfillment. Take a class with J!
Dr. David Jordan is hands down the best professor I have ever had. You would be lucky to take social entrepreneurship with him. He is passionate about the material and the students and everyone can relate to him. If you were not to take this class with him it would be your loss.
Dr. J is fantastic! He takes a skill that companies pay professionals thousands of dollars to do, and shows his students how to do it in a fun, efficient and accurate way. He's very helpful, smart, interesting and engaging. I would recommend taking this - or any - class with David Jordan.
Dr. Jordan is a great and knowledgable professor. His love and passion for Social Entrepreneurship is infectious. He not only respects the students, but cares for them as well. Ive truly learned a good amount from him and have enjoyed his class very much. The class can get repetitive at points, but he is a great teacher and great inspiration.
Sorry, I am the posting right below, but had the wrong course number. Read my review below.
What a wonderful professor, i was truly inspired by him! The class changed my life
Dr. Jordan is an excellence and wonderful teacher. He knows his stuff and he knows how to teach so that you as the student can comprehend with clarity and move further as to completing the requirement to finish the course at hand. I have learned tremendously from him. And has taken away quite alot from his class. He has in many ways given me a valu
Dr. J is extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and passionate about what he teaches.
Best class at clark. Dr. J is brilliant and such an inspiration. I went into the class with no knowledge of the subject and I haven't stopped talking about it. The class is life changing.
Strategic Management with Dr. Jordan has been the best class that I have taken at Clark to complete my MPA. It is not required but I highly recommend completing it. It is the only class that truly brings together all management techniques and encourages higher level critical thinking about management issues. This class is a must!
Dr. Jordan is such an inspiration! His teaching style is clear, easy to understand and touching - I felt like going out in the world and changing everything for better:) Well, he is also very realistic and practical, but the best part is that he taught us to see through various challenges and find opportunities! He is a wonderful professor!Thank u!
Dr. J. is a wonderful teacher--clear, informative, energetic, & passionate about teaching. He truly cares about his students and is always willing to meet w/them. You will work hard, but you will learn a lot, much of which can be applied to life in general, not just the topic of the class. My question: When does he eat, sleep, etc.???
Dr J is one of the best professors I have had at Clark. Coming from an International Development background, Dr J brought to life solutions for so many of the difficult issues I have learned so much about. Through inspirational lessons, teachings, and discussions, this class has become one of my favorite at Clark.
Definitely take Strategic Marketing with Dr. J. You'll get some real hands on experiences with an organization and he's very helpful outside of class.
Dr. Jordan is a wonderful professor who teaches from the heart. He has a vast amount of knowledge that comes from experience. I would recommend him without reservation. His assignments are challenging and worth it.
DR. J made COPACE a challenging program. Aside from Dan Morgado's class - most of the required courses lacked real focus and discipline. I know alot of us graduating this year feel that way. COPACE needs more professors like them.
Dr. J is very special professor. He teaches with great passion because many of the things he teaches about he has experienced first hand. Also, he makes himself readily available to students in need despite having other responsibilities as well. The workload in the class is sizeable but Dr. J uses a course curriculum that does not make the work ove
Dr. Jordan was an extremely dedicated and enthusiastic professor. This class made you think outside the box and apply your learning skills to real-life organizations. I now have the ability to apply these skills to multiple areas of my work.
Excellent!!
Strategic management class was excellent. Dr. Jordan employs a practical approach to teaching. We analyzed an actual organization and was able to make strategic recommendations. Dr. Jordan's expertise on the subject matter is incredible. It is both inspiring and motivating to have a professor so passionate about teaching.
Life changing course with a passionate, dedicated not-for-profit executive role model. You'd be crazy to take any other strat mgt course tho' you will work your little hoofs to the quick. Class is more hands-on than theoretical, learning by INTENSE case method-you do a 2-3 yr Strategic Management plan for an organization of your groups choosing.
Excellent Class! A must take!
Dr. Jordan's Strategic Mgmt class was a wonderful experience and the learnings are so realistically applicable to everyday life. Dr. Jordan is an accomplished professional, most courteous and helpful and very approachable for any issues. His methods of instruction were very clear and well played out from start to finish.
Dr. Jordan is an excellent professor that gives real world application to a learning enviroment. If you would like to be challanged and learn some real world skills. Take a class form Dr. Jordan
The Strategic Mgmt class was very interesting and I learned a great deal. A lot of work was involved as we had to do a strategic plan on a real organization. As a full time employee this was difficult as I had to take time off work to accomplish. I recommend this class to anyone who really wants to learn strategic planning, just prepare to work
I have known professors who can brilliantly establish where one is. Dr. Jordan is the only professor who enthusiastically and brilliantly establishes this and then logically and magically helps students paint a picture from point A to a point B which changes the world (for the better). Gifted and assumes students can be same.
To put it simply, he's one of the best and the nicest professors I've ever had. I was amazed to see his passion for teaching and resolving social issues. I'm looking forward to taking more classes with him.
He has real world experience ,as a current CEO, and teaching expertise. You will love the class.
Dr. Jordan is the best professot that I have ever had. Don't get me wrong, you will work hard, but its worth it, you learn so much!
This is the second time I have had the pleasure of working with this professor. We actually asked him to be our capstone advisor. He is more than helpful and would highly recommend anyone to take his classes.
Oustanding and gifted professor that truely brings out the best in his students. It was a blessing to have him as our capstone advisor. He was always enthusiastic and brought his "A" game to each session. His leadership, mentorship, and guidance ensured our success. Thanks Dr. J
What an incredible teacher. He is incredibly inspirational. The classes he teaches are ALOT of work but worth every hour your spend on hmwk. Hands down best teacher I have ever had.
Incredibly motivating, insipiring professor. One class with Dr. Jordan will change your entire outlook on what is actually possible - in business, in the world, in life... If you have the opportunity to take one of his courses, do so knowing you will never regret that decision.
Dr. Jordan is an outstanding professor. He is very thorough in demanding academic tasks be complete and to perfection but the opportunity to learn in his class is limitless.
This was one of the hardest classes I have ever taken - but definitely worth all of the work. Dr. Jordan completely changed my outlook on non-profits and inspired me to be a better person.
Dr. J rocks my socks!
BEST simple put, he presents the material with a passion. He lives by what he teaches. TAKE HIS CLASSSSS. just watch out for group projects
He's not really a good teacher. He likes what he does, and is really enthusiastic, but when it comes to the actually TEACHING part, he's like one of those people who do what they teach, they don't actually know how to teach it, they just know how to do it.
His last words to our class were: "Be Magnificent"! What an amazing human being! Although technically you could learn strategic management in more details (and more scientifically)the vision and professional insight this man offers are incomparable to any technical process you may learn elsewhere. MUST TAKE MPA class: Strategic Management.
I love Dr. J, such an amazing teacher! Very inspirational and enthusiastic. More teacher like him are needed.
Prof Jordan is amazingly Awesome and he is one of a kind! Very inspiring, talented, humble to listen and help with your needs. I love the man and the class. The class is important both in academia and personal life and I enjoyed every moment of the class. Setting the ?BIG HAIRY AUDACIOUS GOALS? and LIVING A MAGNIFICENT LIFE were the side attracti
You definitely have to work hard in his class, but I did learn a lot, he is very passionate and very inspiring. I am glad that I took this course. Even though he expects much, he is not critical, he embraced all of our thoughts and ideas.
This professor is for students willing to work hard and gain a skill after the hard work. Come on! you need it especially for grad school....
Dr. David Jordan is a great professor. The class requires a lot of work, but I learned an invaluable skill (strategic planning/consulting) which will look great on my resumé. I also learned a lot about how non profits should be run. His lectures can run a little long, but the information is mostly interesting and always valuable.
Dr. J is an excellent professor. I feel that all Clark students should take his SE class. This class has iterally changed my life (and major). The project worked on all semester is the toughest I've had in my entire college experience, but well worth it. But beware, lectures almost always run over the alotted time.
Dr. Jordan has a noticeable passion for his work and is very enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge and experience with his students. A definite "must take" course but beware, it demands a lot of input, both verbally and in writing, so be prepared to work!
Excellent professor easily the best in COPACE. He is incredibly respectful of his students and their opinions, and, as is reflected in all of these excellent reviews, that respect is returned. His classes do run the entire period and sometimes over, but every minute is full of important information. Every MPA student should take a class with Dr. J!
Excellent, "Real world" class. One of most useful in Copace program.
Great professor, fun class, even better guy
The man changed my ideology. This is a great class and would recommend every student to take it
Greatest professor at Clark. Really committed to what he is doing. Full of passion and faith in his students' ability. Take his class!!
great professor. Very interested in the topic and passionate about teaching. interesting class overall with a creative final assignment
Dr.J is an excellent professor. I really enjoy being in his class.You never feel disappointed for him.
I LOVE Dr.J!!!
Dr jordan is a great professor
Dr. Jordan is simply an amazing person. I have never seen a professor with as much passion. You would be a fool to go to Clark and not take at least 1 class with Dr. J.
Legit one of the most amazing people I have ever met. The class isn't for the faint of heart and I'm not talking about workload; you have to talk about some heavy topics but even then he somehow manages to put a smile on your face before class is dismissed. And he is constantly throwing opportunities at you! You gotta take a class with him.
I'll keep this short. This class changed my life. I can't stress enough that if you go to Clark University, you're doing yourself a disservice by not taking this class.
What an amazing professor and person. While you discuss and become aware of many global and social issues, Dr. Jordan always is cheerful yet informative when he teaches. HIs class has helped me find my true academic passions, and I definitely recommend taking his class.
Definitely a life changing course! Greatly interesting and meaningful...this should be a course for all university students because it is so critical. Dr. J is amazing as well!
Great class I highly recommend it for anyone in the mpa program! I learned great skills that will help me as I join the workforce! On top of being a great class Dr. Jordan is an excellent professor who challenges his students while also setting a fun atmosphere in the classroom!
One of the most inspiring professors I ever had. Opened up a whole new world of opportunities for me
Fantastic.
Professor Jordan always makes sure if you need help, you can go to him or just email him. This class can easily be an easy A, but that is ONLY if you actually do the work individually and with groups and participate on the Moodle discussionsdo the readings. It's very simple! Dr. Jordan is very passionate and if you take the class you will notice.
Dr. Jordan's Intro to Health Care Administration class was excellent. You work extraordinarily hard but gain immense knowledge. A directed study, particularly useful as I was a commuter during a harsh winter, all classes were conducted by phone. Fabulous real world speakers, amazing discussions, lots of reading, great assignments. Highly recommend!
One of the best classes I've taken at Clark. Dr J is very knowledgable and passionate about the subject matter, creating a very interesting and informative course. Course was a directed reading, and Dr. J was always willing to help with and clarify assignments. Readings were very interesting. I highly recommend for anyone interested in healthcare
The course opened my eyes! I learned a lot about Social Entrepreneurship from a real social entrepreneur. Inspiring and life changing.
One of the most amazing classes here at Clark! Dr. J is a very good and knowledgeable professor. He is passionate about the subject matter and is always prepared. Dr. J is willing to take the time to find ways to help you in any way he can. I highly recommend this course. Without a doubt, you will learn a lot from this very inspirational professor.
Awesome professor! He's really inspiring and encourages all student ideas. The course is eye opening and he cares about his students and into what he teaches.
Dr. Jordan is so passionate and so knowledgeable. I can't thank him enough for everything he has taught me. He cares deeply about each student and is very understanding. You walk away with a wealth of knowledge and a passion to do something good in your life. This is definitely an inspiring class that all should take!
He's an awesome man. He's inspirational, happy, and overall a great dude.
Prof Jordan tries hard to inspire, I'll give him that. You won't learn much, but if you want to waste the thousands you spend at Clark on a 3 hour inspirational talk every week... this is your chance. He engages in a lot of silicon valley "disruption" / "innovation" talk that's stale and practically useless Take env science or a different ENT class
Great guy
Took this class during COVID. Met once a week for 3 hrs. Didnt wear his mask correctly or make others wear theirs correctly. Discussion posts sucked to do. Doesnt respond to emails + gives impression he is not accommodating with papers/projects, even during COVID. Asked us to do things he didnt teach us. A good guy for sure but his class sucked.
Professor Jordan is definitely one of the most versatile mentors anyone can ever experience. He is definitely, by far, one of the best professors Clark University has! 11/10 will recommend and do recommend to anyone and everyone!
