Professor Vurusic is a very interesting person. He seems knowledgeable and experienced in his field. The only problem I had with his class was it seemed the first quarter of the semester was unplanned and very "from the hip." Maybe this was due to it being his first semester at this college or the fact he was out sick for a week or so...?

His class was very interesting, it was less about american government and more about world governments (which i enjoyed). great professor, its too bad he isn't teaching higher level classes.

PS110 has the potential to be a VERY dull class. Gordan's class is actually interesting. His class is less about learning the boring facts of political history, and more about learning to think about politics critically.

Great Prof! He is interesting and he makes it very easy to get a good grade, but you also learn the subject.

He is very entertaining. There is a lot of class participation, but usually just to keep it interesting. The only drawback: it takes him forever to grade papers and assignments.

One of the best professors I've ever had. Which I could have taken him in a course that focused on Europe not American Government. Opens your eyes at why the United States is declining, told the class that if we do nothing, then we deserve it. This is what we need, people to challenge us and make us want to take action, not stare at Facebook.

Gordon is a spectacular professor! His in class discussions for Political Theory are stimulating and relevant to both our readings and modern issues. He clearly goes over the reading assignments and always welcomes students for discussion of papers and tests during his office hours. Before this class I didn't enjoy politics: he made it interesting!

Helpful professor, hard work to keep up with readings though.

I had him for survey of Am govt. He never took attendance. He told a lot of stories because he is from Croatia. He was a great teacher and the class was SUPER easy. He told you the exact answers to the essays before exam. All you had to do was take notes.

As an adult student returning to college after 13 years, this instructor was exactly what I wanted in a college level class. Great discussions. The coursework wasn't hard provided you pay attention and took notes. This guy *knows* political science. I'd love to take his other classes for the discussion alone.

Super smart guy who doesn't need any notes. He engages the class in thought-provoking discussions and grades fairly, very fairly!!! Overall I thought this class was easy yet I learned a lot! Awesome guy, hilarious too!

Best Prof I have had in 45 credits. Super smart and qualified. Focus on what matters and not what "should" be taught. I will be seeking out more of his classes even though I don't need more poli sci. THIS PROF RULES!!!!

Very funny and interesting guy. He made American Gov. interesting. Helpful, but took too long to grade papers. He does assign 2 5-7pg papers which are fairly easy, I don't like to write papers either! He is a fairly easy grader as well. Hardly takes attendance, uses the book a lot, and if using clikers,hardly uses them yet you need them to get pts.

Great Class. You need to read the Philosophers in order to understand the class but you can skate by if need be without reading, he reads selections from the texts in class to clarify hard to understand parts of the text. He is very intelligent. As long as you have a complete thought and support your argument he will give full credit.

This is a great class! I was lucky to take it during a presidential. The exams are essay mostly so a good amount of writing. The teacher comes off tough as far as grading but then grades very fair. I was expecting a B and got an A. He is funny even when he does not mean to be. Barely opened the book other than looking at the Constitution.

One of my favorite professors at GRCC! I have a high interest level in this subject, but he also makes it fun and interesting. A lot of discussion as well. You will walk out of his class with a great mass of knowledge.

Professor Vurusic is an overall good instructor, & you will enjoy his class. I took his honors course & was hoping to learn a bit more about US gov't than I did. It's great that he opens the class for discussions about current events, but it can stray too much from a US focus. His memos, essays & exams are not bad at all.

He is awesome. Really funny, grades super easy, and a very interesting class. I was never bored!

Great to have. Very intelligent and funny. Relaxed on turn in dates and assignments. Very flexible overall. Highly recommended.

His class was awesome. You learn a lot, and laugh a lot. He responds to emails rather fast. Attendance isn't mandatory. His assignments are hard, but if you take the time , put thought, and research into it then you shouldn't have a problem. If you miss an assignment, and you communicate with him he may let you make it up in the next assignment.

Mr. Vurusic is an awesome professor. He is funny and makes the work perfectly clear. His attendance policy is pretty open and its not hard to get a good grade in this class as long as you read the chapters and pay attention to the lectures, which isnt hard to do since he makes it interesting.

We had two 10-15 page papers due during the semester in addition to the midterm and final. other than that no homework or assignments beyond reading (I just skimmed the chapters). Was a little overwhelmed with the papers at first, but ended up getting great grades on both, I just wish he would have given more feedback. Take good lecture notes!

Don't let him got off topic too much or the entire class schedule will fall behind. He Sometimes spends too much valuable time on things not even imperative to the class. Honestly, I learned more from just reading chapters in the book.

-great and fun class discussions -participation is a must -few quizzes but 2 MAJOR RESEARCH PAPERS!!! -test require written answers, no multiple choice. -ask for help if needed he is willing to help but you must ask...

If you are not very good with understanding government/politics, then seriously THOROUGHLY read the whole entire chapter that you are on as well as quiz yourself and pay close attention in class. Besides that, he makes this subject better with his humor during the lecture and it's pretty cool having a foreign teacher too.

Taking just this class alone will make you an expert in American politics. Prof. Gordon is exceptionally great!

An amazing professor! Hilarious and makes politics and interesting topic. He does get off topic once in a while but is also very helpful. If you need him to explain something over again, ask and he will. Quizzes were easy, midterm was easy, and the final exam was easy. Take notes during lecture and you will pass.

In PS110 you will have some quiz's, 2 5-7 research papers, midterm and a final exam. All his essay and research paper questions sound way more difficult then they actually are. If you do the work, listen, you should escape the class pretty well. Attendance isn't counted but if you listen in class it will help.

I had him my 1st semester in college and I was scared to have him because of the comments on here but he is a very good professor. If you pay attention, you should be good! Only 2 major essays which at first seem hard but I ended up getting a 100% on both. Also about 4 quizzes (10 ?'s ), midterm, and final exam. You'll learn a lot in his class

Loved him. He is seriously so funny. He is very laid back, which is actually nice. You'll have a few quizzes, and two pretty significant research papers, a midterm and final. He makes you work for your grade, but in a good way, because you learn a lot from it (and not from the book).

Pretty easy class with a lot of good information about American politics. I learned a lot.

Prof. Vurusic was a very relaxed professor. The class was full of new information that I was grateful to learn about in regards to American Politics. The quizzes are easy; he gives a few extra creditoptions, so I would take advantage of that. There are a couple research papers, but the criteria are straight forward. Would take this class again!

Professor Vurusic has a great ability to explain complex ideas in political theory in a way I could understand and apply to current politics. He is fun to talk to and easily relates to students. This was one the top three classes I have taken at CC.

Pretty straighforward class: two exams, two papers and few quizzes. He comments on paper drafts and helps a lot with exams by giving you a list of questions in advance. If you do reasonbale work, you'll be fine

Mr. Vurusic managed to make an online course very engaging. This class was the highlight of my semester.

One of the best classes I have ever taken. Professor Vurusic is extremely well informed about politics and is ready to explain difficult stuff. Take him if you need American Government class.

Gordan may be slow to return graded papers, but his knowledge of politics and ability to explain it to students is great. He is also fun to talk to outside class. Highly recommend!

I liked his class a lot. I took it on line and he made it very engaging. He also didnt try to sell any political agenda, which I appreciated. My favorite class last fall.

In this online PS 110 government class, you do have to write two 5-7 page papers. I found that to be the hardest for me. I hate government and he made this class bearable. This was my second time taking government, the first time I took it in the classroom. I have to say online is way better!

He's from Croatia, so he has a bit of an accent. He's very smart when it comes to American politics. He tries to make class interesting. Hes pretty generous with exams, as long as you study for them, you should pass. 2 papers you gotta write, again, as long as you put in the effort, you'll pass them with good scores.

He made lectures interesting and engaging. Tests and quizzes are easy and not graded too hard. He really knew his material. If you pay attention, you'll pass

Really good and interesting professor!

Vurusic teaches Ethics with knowledge, passion and humor. He is easy to talk to and will blow your mind with great examples. Take him to learn some interesting moral philosophy.

I took an on-line class with him and it was very interesting. He gave us freedom to discuss politics without imposing his own views on us. He opened my eyes to many political issues I didn't know anything about before. Very good class.

Will go off topic or take to long on one thing. There was only six grades and he tends to be a fairly easy grader. As long as you study key terms of each chapter and have some understanding of each lecture he presents you should be fine.

He tends to go off topic and can talk for a long period about whatever he wants. However, it's clear he knows what he's talking about and you won't have to worry about him putting anything too difficult in his tests or quizzes. A textbook helps but won't be wholly necessary, just pay attention to the lectures and you'll be fine.

A lot of writing, but great, thought-provoking lectures and discussions.

The professor posts a lot of different materials on line, as well as his own video lectures which enabled me to learn from different sources and from different perspectives. He is easily accessible through email and Zoom, so I really enjoyed the class.

Amazing! Loved him! I came out with 100% in this class just by doing all of the assignments and Turing them in on time, thats all you need to be successful!

I enjoyed discussing different topics in art and philosophy with other students. It opened my eyes about many things I didn't know before. Really interesting class.

I took this class online and he's not a difficult grader. If you do the work should be no problem; if your a Type A person- like turning things in on time and put some effort you'll be fine. He doesn't give much feedback but he's also not a tough grader either.

One of my favorite professors! Took PL201 online, and his lectures were interesting. Weekly discussion boards, occasional homework 1 pg papers, and about three 7-9 page papers a semester. Everyone who says his accent is heavy is just ignorant to other people that aren't from the US, he does a beautiful job at explaining concepts.

He was amazing! He is very fun and easygoing. Although, he does lectures with no presentation or anything. he will write on the board but not much. lots of listening! He makes ethics interesting and relates it to current/recent issues!

Prof. Vurusic is an awesome teacher. Pay attention in lectures, engage in them, take notes (any question asked on a test is answered via class discussion/lecture). Does not overload you with homework, two main term papers and a few essay style homework questions. He clearly wants you to succeed and gives you everything you need to do so.

Professor Vurusic is great in leading serious philosophical discussions. I learned a lot in his class.

His teaching style is unlike any other professor I have had. While I attended his classes, I thought that I wasn't understanding the content. Now that I am out, I have used so many things that I learned from that class. This professor is very laid back and comes across as harsh, but I think he just wants you to think for yourself.

This professor is unique because he doesn't use slides or the board really but just talks about business ethics and relates it to current issues to make the class interesting. He was very funny and through note-taking and listening to him talk I learned so much from this class. Def would take again.

I will always remember my intro to philosophy class. His courses aren't lectures, they are a breeding ground to learn through discussion. The papers you write about spark meaningful prompts, every question he asks ignites new thoughts, and if you apply yourself; you will learn how to think differently. Wonderful professor and very bright.

Mr. Vurusic is probably one of the funniest, most laid-back teachers I've ever had. While it's true he doesn't respond to emails, he's understanding when you need more time on an assignment or can't make it to class. Class is 100% talking and discussion. The assignments are quite easy and simple to do. I would absolutely recommend him for PL 201.

super nice, really easy class, not much homework. Funny lectures. super nice, really easy class, not much homework. Funny lectures super nice, really easy class, not much homework. Funny lectures super nice, really easy class, not much homework. Funny lectures super nice, really easy class, not much homework. Funny lectures

Our Class was great! You need the book for certain assignments. I would reccomend people to read along in the book to better understand the concepts too. His tests are not hard and there's two big papers that are layed out nicely so you understand what he wants. Class discussions are great and he wants everyone to pass!
