She is SO awesome!! really cares about her students, and is ALWAYS there to answer questions. Quizes usually every meeting, but if you stay on top of the work they are fairly simple..and help you ace tests...very very nice and caring, i rec. you take her!!!!

if you didn't like bio before.. she would definitely change your mind. everything on her lecture comes out on the quizzes and tests. i definitely would take her class over and over again

One of the best teachers I've ever had!

She's easy just write good notes and study them and you'll do fine.

She is a great teacher. Take good notes and you will do fine. Tests and quiz are all based on lecture. Lots of quizes but they are helpful in studying for the tests. Awesome teacher

her teaching style wasnt my cup of tea, but she is extremely easy and i love her as a person! so sweet and helpful! u really dont need the textbook, i took her for summer. I ended up with a B, and i have a 4.0! messed up my gpa but i got rid of my bio class in the summer while taking another class. i recommend her

best freakin teacher ive had in my entire life! stronly reccomended ms. jordan has changed my life forever i love her !

She is outstanding!! Crystal clear lecture!!! She tells you what she wants, then give her what she needs! Be docile and cool, then you will be fine. She is a really nice person! Be nice to her!!

It's an easy class. She says they'll be quizzes and there are quizzes. She gives you a study guide for exams, and the exams are exactly what the guides say they'll be. She also believes in leaving early if it's feasible. Exams are non-cumulative, so that rocks.

I am taking Bio3 with Jordan and she is very nice, Her lecture is clear. However, you need to take good notes, because all quizzes and exam based on notes 100%. This is not a easy class. Everyone two weeks a quiz and every four week one exam. Lowest one got dropped. You got to study to get an A.

Easy class. Take good notes, and all the notes. She moves fast, so textbook helps to fill in blanks. Quizzes at the beginning of each class so study the previous weeks notes. Study for tests. Final NOT cumulative. That's it. Very straightforward, all memorization. For night class, you ALWAYS get out early. No HW besides studying. Make flash cards.

really easy class if u take notes :)

She's cute, nice, and easy. Those are elementary adjectives but it is all true. Her tests are all multiple choice and her study guides help A LOT. Lectures come straight from the book and you have to do one ethogram which was really easy). You really can't ask for a better teacher. Her good looks might distract you though

Anyone who complains that her class is hard or her lectures are useless should drop out of school RIGHT NOW and go work at Mc Donalds. Her lectures come STRAIGHT from the book. Do you guys not know how to read or just have a slight case of retardation? Her tests are easy and she gives you a study guide. WOW what more can you ask for?

Nice and also expert in subject. Answers all your questions. Tests are multiple choice and not easy. If you listen to lectures, read text and ask questions, you will do fine. Subject up to day like global warming.

Great teacher!! She's clear in her lectures and cares about her students; she'll take time to answer your questions. Her quizzes and exams are based on her notes (not the book), so it's important to take good notes. She moves fast, but it's manageable. No surprises. She announces everything ahead of time, so it's your fault if you're not prepared.

you gotta study and read. not easy but interesting. quiz once in about 2 classes. she grades following the syllabus. its important to get her idea and how you should study as soon as the semester starts. the sooner you get that, the better the grade you'll get. she is very kind and willing to teach so go ask her in person if you have questions

Great, friendly teacher! Really cares about helping you learn and keeping you engaged. Rarely need the book. I took in winter, and she would let us out a little early often. Tests are straight-forward scantron. She would quiz us every few lectures to make sure we're staying on top. No homework. Easy on the eyes. Would love to get her again.

She's very good at teaching. She is distractingly attractive, but the necessity of passing this class does over ride the distractingness (although only barely), people say you don't need the book but they're wrong, if you don't have any prior knowledge of the subject than you will need the book. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to learn.

Jordan's method of teaching isn't exactly suitable for all types of students. My background is entrenched in bio, but there were a lot of international students who struggled. If you're good at bio, take her she's an easy A. If not, you may struggle. Overall a solid professor with cute idiosyncrasies. A bit neurotic. Very attractive.

Although I took her one summer and then dropped out because of the workload, I found her to be a very good professor. Read the book and notes because that's what her tests are all based off of. She seems to explain things in a very great and clear way, and I wish that I could take her again for a longer semester.

Professor Jordan is a good teacher. She's very nice and helpful. I took her during the summer & the class flew by. She is very easy to talk to, and welcomes general conversations. As many others have said, she is attractive, so paying attention is pretty easy. Lastly, I would recommend the book- it helps a lot. Go Boston!

This class is pretty hard but it could be easier if you study very often and go to class. I like Professor Jordan she's nice and friendly and made the class interesting. We hardly used the textbook but you should get the book to study from to get clarity from her lectures.

i love this professor she is extremely helpful & she makes the class looks easy (it is not an easy class)she really wants her students to pass her class. i would definitely recommend her.

GREAT CLASS!!!!!!!!n The professor is very helpful. She teaches from the book which is nice and also has a way of making class interesting. I loved the class the only reason i would not recomend the class is if english is not your first language. The students who struggled were mostly foreigners who could not keep up with the fast pace of the class

THIS TEACHER IS THE BEST!!! She's very intimidating and scary when you see the first quiz but then once u get the hang of the class its cake. I got one of the highest grades in the class by printing out her notes (3 per page, click black and white) and wrote down EVERYTHING she said and studied that. book not necessary. TAKE HER, RECOMMENDED!!!!!!

This teacher is helpful and wants all of her students to be successful in class. She tells us how to study and what to study. I really enjoy going to her class because she makes it fun. Another good thing is that the teacher is beautiful.

This class is the bomb! Professor knows how to think like a student and teaches her subject that way. You know how to study and prepare for her exams cuz she tells us what to study. Otherwise, I'd give up on studying and take a good chance on her multiple-choice-answers exams...Nice! Loved Biology this semester!

Easy class relative to other professors. Lecture are straight forward & short. Gives study guides. 4 exams = 66%grade & rest 33% from quizzes & labs. Most questions come from lectures. However,buy book to better understand the material bc exams questions tend to be tricky. ohh n She's cute

This teacher is very helpful and she makes learning Biology fun. She tells us what to study and what will be on the test. She gives a study guide which helps. Very friendly and will do whatever she can to help her students be successful in her class.

Her tests are 50 multiple questions which you can manage if you go over her power points and lecture notes. All the questions on test/quiz come from her lectures and power points so you don't need to buy a text book. She is a passionate teacher who wants everyone in her class to be successful. Take her this course is great.

Professor Jordan is by far the best teacher I have ever taken at SMC. She teaches as well as professor fink for anatomy but she is actually nice and caring. She went out of her way to help us all in anyway she could. I Wish she would teach physiology. Her class isn't hard if you study a little bit. Teachers can really take some lessons from her.

I love professor Jordan. She is very smart and knowledgeable/passionate about what she teaches. If you take good notes and study, and do the final paper correctly, the A is easily within reach. You have to memorize alot but its not hard and she really is a good teacher. She is also good looking., I recommend this class.

Great teacher. She definitely cares about her subject and making sure we leave the class better people. Got an A, thought she was easy, but you have to study her notes. TAKE NOTES. What she says is on the quizzes. Also cute, but a little old.

Questions for her exams come straight from the lectures & powerpoints. She's crystal clear about everything discussed in class, and encourages her students to do well. Overall, it's an easy A. She doesn't try to trick you on tests, just simply pay attention & you'll be fine. For those saying her class is difficult must be joking!

She is an easy teacher. Exams come from the book. Also, she is a total babe. 10/10

Good class. She is clear and her exams all come from the book and pp presentations. It is also a fun class if your class participates.

Amazing professor you will learn so much from taking her her tests are a little hard but that's because I took her in the winter session but she really cares about her students her tests and quizes are based off of lecture a book isn't necessary for this class

Professor Jordan is awesome! She knows what she is teaching, also she is passionate about it. You are going to learn a lot. She is very organized. Test are what she taught in class. She is hot.

Professor Jordan is a great professor! Really easy class if you pay attention during class, and then review after lecture. Her lectures are based off her book. So if you didn't catch something, just read the book and you will be fine. She gives extra points on exams, so if you are standing on a B+ it will most likely become an A. Really nice!!! GL

I loved her class. For winter: 3 exams and many quizzes. Exams are not easy but not tough if you studied, but they are long (about 80 questions, multiple choice). Not too much HW Her lectures are inspiring and if you are good with notes, you don't need the book (for HW you need it though). Lectures very clear. Easy A if you study, hard A if don't.

Professor Jordan is AMAZING! It really is an introduction class, but you will leave with so many new perspectives and valueable knowledge. She is also very smart and funny, and you always leave the class with a smile. It is not that tough, the book is really easy to read and there are many discussions. As long as you are in it, you will learn!

Professor Jordan is a good teacher and very passionate. I really enjoyed taking her class this past summer. Her tests are hard but if you study the notes and go over the information they are straight forward she is amazing

Prof Jordan is the most inspirational teacher I've ever had. Everyone should take this class, it is critically important!! She is a passionate activist and that really comes through in all the lectures. The class isn't too hard, and the textbook that she wrote is very well written. Exams aren't too hard. Behave in class or she will call you out!

Very knowledgeable! Gives quizzes that help with the exams. Group study is recommended for this class. Study and you will be fine.

Very sweet professor which makes the class interesting! No homework just 3 article discussion and 3 exam. 65% passing grade and honestly it's very easy to get an A as long as you attend her class though she rarely take attendance. Multiple choice exam and take home article discussion. Enjoyed her class despite not putting enough effort for exams.

AMAZING! Course mostly lecture & discussion-based, but she's so passionate - makes it easy to learn. Material is pretty detailed, but show up daily, take good notes & she loves questions - it'll assure success! No real HW besides studying PPTs which she posts online. Environmentally conscious. Charming & kind. If you want to learn, take her class!

A wonderful professor and an even more amazing person. Prof Jordan practices what she preaches with finesse. If you'd like to learn more about the environment from a woman who has worldly experience, take this class! The textbook is mandatory (brand new because of the homework to turn in) but very straight forward. Your eyes will open wider.

Amazing professor!! Absolutely loved how socially aware she was. She teaches you a lot and makes you second guess a ton of things, in a good way. Keep up with studying, you must study to pass this class!!

A good professor who can be a bit wacky at times with her environmentalist speeches and what have you. Tests are hard if you do not study and a textbook isn't really needed. It would be a good idea to form study groups for her class however.

Probably one of the best professors I have ever had. Makes you work hard for your grade, but as long as you study hard, put in the effort, and prepare well, you should do find. Highly recommend Prof Jordan, she really does want you to do well in her class, and cares about her students.

Her quizzes are exactly about the material covered in class, tests somewhat difficult. Labs are easy, she gives LOTS of time to finish those. No homework. Respect her and she will respect you back. Don't argue with her, she might seem weak but she will put you in your place.

Professor Jordan is so passionate about this subject, its contagious. Important lectures everyday, 4 quizzes, 1 midterm, 1 final, 1 paper, and extra credit online quizzes. She likes opinionated students and class discussions. By the end of this course you'll walk away better informed and more aware of ways to reduce your carbon foot print!

Professor Jordan is incredibly passionate and creates an engaging environment that is part lecture and part open discussion. She's an incredible teacher and clearly knows her stuff. There aren't very many grades so studying is a must, but some extra credit opportunities are available. Love her :)

This was an amazing course; Professor Jordan is an amazing professor! Highly recommend using the book when studying; it's by the professor and works off of the lectures heavily. Extra credit chapter quizzes are extremely helpful, tests are quite fair and come straight from the lecture. Take this class if you can, I learned an unbelievable amount!

Biology 3, even though it's supposed to be "bio for non-stem majors", is an extremely difficult class, despite being an introductory class. Lots of Cs. Most of your grade will be based on four big tests. But Jordan is an AMAZING professor!!! She is inspiring and I'm never bored. The class is fast paced, so make sure you stay on top of everything.

The class is hard, but any Bio class will be. Prof Jordan really cares about her students and wants everyone to do well. Lots of quizzes but if you go to class you'll do totally fine and they are a good cushion for your grade. No cumulative final which is great. Labs are easy. Just study hard and you'll be fine. Offers extra credit. Great professor

This is a great class that I recommend taking. The teacher cares a lot about the environment and the topics in class it shows during the lectures. The textbook was written by the teacher so it exactly matches the course material. due to this, All you really need to do is read the chapters and memorize the keywords.

This class was all around not difficult. Just have to read the book and study the slides of her lectures. Prof. Jordan is a nice teacher and always tries to encourage a good class discussions. But, shes a strict vegan, activist that is strongly treasures her views, so, if you dont have the same views, you may recieve snotty remarks from her.

Prof. JORDAN is awesome! The energy that she brings to her lectures is inspiring. She wants students to get involved and participate in class discussions. Read a chapters ahead of time so that you can answer questions she asks in class. Hint hint this a good way to show teachers you're studying the material. Good luck, you get what you put in.

Took her for Bio 3. To sum things up: She creates lecture slides Creates a study guide Gives out 2 types of quizzes: lecture quiz and lab quiz. She also drops the lowest quiz Gives extra credit Exams are fair. What you see on the slides will be on the exam. Put in the effort and you will pass

Professor Jordan was so friendly and approachable! Definitely my favorite professor that I've had so far. I loved her class so much that I decided to study ecology :-)

Professor Jordan is wonderful! Her lectures are interesting, she makes herself available to answer questions outside of class, and study guides are provided prior to each exam. It is not an easy class. It is biology; you will do well if you study, read the textbook, and take good notes.

Took prof. Jordan over the summer during covid, and it was manageable. Study for the quizzes because there's so little time per question!! Exams aren't difficult if you attend the lectures and read presentations. Virtual labs were easy. She talks about a plant-based diet every class, so if you're not into that lifestyle you might get bored.

She covers lots of details in her lectures. As a result, no textbook is needed if you take proper notes. I took her class during the winter semester. Therefore, we had a quiz and an exam pretty much every week. She records her lectures and provides access to them for a week. This was quite helpful in completing my notes taken during the class.

The online textbook is given so it's free. Your grade on canvas won't be the same as the one on your transcript since she goes off of a point system. During the winter semester, she gives 4 exams, 4 lab reports(each worth 10 points), 6 quizzes(timed)&you take them before class start. Lab simulations (easy). Lecture recordings help for tests

She talks really fast during the lectures so its easier to take notes with the recording. The tests and quizzes are specifically about the lectures so if you skipped them (even if you read the book) she might mark you wrong in short answer questions. Class is easy if you take notes during the lecture and study those

Inspiring professor. Took her bio 3 course over the winter semester and loved it. Professor Jordan is very passionate and not that difficult at all. Class is very engaging. Not sure why there are negative reviews honestly. Almost like some folks are surprised you are expected to put in some effort to pass your classes. Would highly recommend!
