hes like a robot, but is a nice guy, teaches well, with power point every day.

Many people found his tests difficult, but I thought they were extremely easy. His lectures were a little dry, though.

he is a good teacher but he could be more understanding some times .But HE TEACHES very good .

MOST OF THE QUESTIONS FROM HIS TESTS ARE FROM THE BOOK, NOT THE LECTURES

I thought Greg Gordon was great. If you want to major in History I would recommend him. I took him for two classes and did very well in both. He is just very educated and expects his students to be as well. I like professors who know their subjects and he does.

I thought Mr. Gordon's class was very easy, and I hate history and normally suck at it. I flagged a similar at class at SIU two years ago. If you follow his rules, take good notes, follow the study guides and read the book carefully, you will get at least a C or better. I got an A and I couldn't believe it. He's robotic, but a nice guy.

thought that his knowledge was amazing. He knew alot about his topic. his tests are really hard if you don't prepare way ahead of time. Read the BOOK and the chapters, if you don't you'll do pretty bad. Overall I thought he was cool, got pretty boring at the end though...way too much power point and lecture.

I don't know how he is in the actual classroom but all I have to say is DO NOT TAKE THE ONLINE COURSE! The computer tests are rediculous, you can study day and night for weeks and not get a good grade just because half the time you are not even sure what the question is asking and being an internet course you can't just ask him to reword.

pretty straight forward class. do the work and get the points. kinda boring but thats history. not strict with attendance at all. No outside homework except for two papers.

I had Prof Gordon a few years ago and thought he was a great teacher. I learned a lot about American History and he seemed genuinely interested in his topic. I would def take a class with him

I took prof gordon for the american survey II and african american history...he is a top notch professor. He teaches to challenge you but is willing to help if you ask for it. Just fyi-"hard" and "boring"are criticisms made by intellectual midgets.

I took two of his U.S. history classes (one on campus and other other online) and I thought he did a great job in both. I like the idea of 4 exams and two papers (and extra credit), so if you screw up on one, you can still pull yourself up. Very professional in his dress (and not bad looking for an older guy). Approachable and nice class topics.

I thought he was great. I am a bit of a History dork so maybe that helped me out. I will take more of his classes.

Professor Gordon is very professional and knows the subject like the back of his hand. He does not use lectures notes when lecture, but spits out facts and history stories like a walking encycolpedia. He is somewhat roboting with a great sense of humor, but he is also very helpful when you get stuck. I will take his class again next year.

I thought this class was not that different from other classes I have taken so far. As long as you take good notes and read the textbook, I did not think it was rocket science. I would take his class again.

I recommend Gordon. There is no homework. All of the class lectures are on BB, and he shows an occasional video. There are 2 essay papers, one is worth 10 the other 15. There is also 4 exams worth 50 pts each, he offers a 2 pt EC question on the final exam. If you enjoy history, go to class, study and pay attention, you will have success.

This course starts where HST 221 ends. I took Gordon for both classes, I worked hard and studied. There is no homework, just 2 essay papers and 4 exams. All the lectures are on Blackboard. Prof. Gordon knows history and is passionate about his class. If you are willing to go to class, study, and work hard, you will achieve success.

This man is a baller he was always suit up, and knows his gameplay. He pretty much keeps you in the game. If you are trying to have a teammate pick him for your team.

Just take his class. Easy papers and was an easy grader. I found his class to be very interesting. He expects you to read the textbook for tests, and during class he just lectures. But he does get into really good lectures.

The class is interesting and Mr. Gordon is very knowledgeable. YES you have to read the book, but he makes that very clear on the first day of class. There are 4 tests, 2 papers and a group project, and expectations are made clear in the syllabus.

Gregory Gordon is the most formal professor I have ever had. He is overly knowledgeable about history, lectures the entire class without skipping a beat. He is extremely prepared each day from start to finish. The tests are relatively short but are over a span of multiple chapters. I suggest you take heavy notes and look over the textbook.

Professor Gordon is a really nice professor and has a lot of knowledge about history. During the class, all he does is lecture the entire time. There is a multiple choice or essay choice for every test. It is necessary to read the online textbook to help prepare for tests. He never assigns homework, only two papers and a group project at end.

The exams are simple and based off free eBook he requires, just use the chapter review questions and you'll do decently. I think the papers are simple (only two pages of actual writing) as I got full points on all of them, I think it's just that people suck at following directions and writing them. Lectures can be dry. Never docked me for attendanc

The opportunity to gain extra credit was great and simple. The textbook was an online free-resource, also a huge plus. The professor was clear, responded to inquiries promptly, and was very helpful. I would recommend taking this course accelerated online or through the summer as most of the studying could be done at your own pace.

I have no idea why Professor Gordon has some negative reviews . I took him over this summer online. First of all, book is completely free , he posted it on blackboard. His syllabus is clear, with all due dates and expectation. If you read a book, won't be a problem. Gives extra credit if you participate in discussion (up to 10% of final grade).

The only way to fail this class is to be lazy and not study for tests. If you read the book and do the questions at the end there's really no way to fail this class. Make sure you study for his quizzes bc some quiz questions are direct questions from the review at the back of the book. The lectures are boring but overall he's a good fair teacher.

His class is very straight forward Read the book, go over review questions and take the test. There are 2 short papers to write and 4 exams that are only 20 questions each to take at CLC. The only way to fail this class is by being lazy and not reading the chapters. But if you read the chapters it's an easy A

Professor Gordon comes off initially as very formal, but he is actually a very kind person and great to work with! His classes are pretty much all lecture, but he makes it interesting in my opinion. All you need to do to ace the tests is do the study guides in the free textbook! Only downside for me was the group project.

I was initially intimidated due to this professor's course syllabus! It was the longest syllabus I've ever seen, like 9 pages, and most of it described the various ways that he would flunk you for some transgression or other. But once the course got going it was fine and I realized the professor was not out to get me. Do the work and you'll pass.

I dropped this class a semester ago because the syllabus scared me. This class is very doable. All discussion boards are extra credit, the papers are extra credit. You have a few weeks to read 4 chapters, and an option to take multiple choice or essay exams. Read and pay close attention to the review questions at the end of the chapters. Easy A.

Took a U.S History class with him last spring and enjoyed it. Yes, I will agree the way he grades papers can be a little intimidating but his class is pretty straightforward and the way that he gives lectures are easy to take in as long as you take good notes. Would recommend.

Very chill teacher, clearly cares about students, and you can tell he loves teaching. As long as you show up and do your work and pay attention to lectures you'll do fine.

Class sessions can feel long at times because of the lectures but Professor Gordon knows what he's talking about and is consistent and a fair grader.

The course was easy and simple. The bulk of the grade was made up of 4 twenty question exams.

Honestly, it was a very easy class. No homework only quizzes. He does take a while to grade and answer to emails, but I didn't have many questions. To put it very simple, just go through lectures take quiz and repeat. There are two options of the quiz, multiple choice or short answer quiz.
