any teacher that tells a class that he is bored with them and can't wait for the semester to be over should not be getting my money for his salary. we all have jobs to do, and sometimes they are boring. he seems like a decent guy, but seems arrogant too.

Great teacher...very interesting. He actually works with people, so some of his stories are absolutely amazing. Ask him about the guy in the rapid that kept rubbing up against women...he handled it great...definitely hot...but more important great prof!

Social Psych was awesome with him. Really funny guy and enjoys class participation. Totally effective. Ask him about the young sexually active girl and her picture of Mickey Mouse.

Very good prof!

Had him for abnormal psychology. He is a good teacher and gives a lot of examples to make it interesting. The only thing is that he isn't very friendly, and he seems kind of arrogant. Also, I'm not sure how fair he grades on class participation.

This professor has a dry sense of humor, and is very engaging. Also, he is very quick to offer help of any kind. His expectations are clear, and if you meet them and study, you will do well. He doesn't care for slackers (and really, people, why should he?). Take his class only if you are prepared to do your work and LEARN!

Tests aren't that hard if you study. His notes aren't relevant. All about reading and studying the book. Some what of a good grader, should prepare for tests a bit better though. Over all, a good prof

Need to read! He tests based on comprehension, not necessarily what is written. Be sure to study for exams! Very helpful and good with communication.

Definitely has his favorites, beware if you are on his "not favorite" list. Discussions and Power Points aren't on the test, so study the book. Overall, informative class. Would I take him again, hum???

Tests are hard but he is excellent for lectures. he puts things in a way you can understand

This teacher is very interesting and funny to listen to. But be sure to read the chapters in the book. That is basically where he gets all of his test questions. And his tests are HARD! You cannot go with what he teaches you in the class and take the test. READ THE CHAPTERS!! Overall it was a fun class.

I had him online for phsy151 and i swear it was so easy. i mean, i thought i was failing and ended up with a b. don't know how. but i have him for human development and he's cool. he's funny and is a good teacher. lots of test questions are from the book though. and they're not easy tests.

This guy is one of my favorite psych teachers, he is very knowledgeable and his tests are easy if you read the text. Don't bother taking notes in his class, he tests straight from the book so just read your chapters. DO NOT TAKE HIM ONLINE, he has said in class he purposely makes his online classes harder.

Great teacher. People complain because his classes are hard. Grow up your in college.

He was such a great teacher. Just make sure you do the reading. He is challenging, but not over bearing. If you attend class and pay attention to his power points, he pretty much gives away whats on his tests.

I actually love jordan! his lectures are fun and he is definitely entertaining. However, exams bring your grade down because theres alot of tricky questions! Overall, i would say take him for the experience! :)

I absolutely love jordan, he is funny and smart he always makes class interesting and fun, i always look for classes of his to take. He is not easy but he is fair

he is an excellent professor

An excellent professor, was very clear in his expectations and was hasty in responding to student questions and concerns. Would definitely recommend.

I was nervous taking him based on the comments, but he was fine! All reading was from book w/essays to complete per chapter. Exams were ok except mistakes on some questions. The "correct" answers contradicted the book. I e-mailed him each time & he was great about fixing, but it was tedious. Wouldn't have gotten an A if I didn't review my exams.

Fantastic teacher who knows the subject very well and is funny and helpful. He is very fair with grading. The exams and essays are difficult and he expects critical thinking. Exams are application of definitions mostly. Anything he spends time talking about in lecture will likely be on the exam. Some answers you will only get by reading the book.

I really enjoyed taking Jordan's research methods class. He is a meticulous grader though, so be prepared to do a lot of revisions. He isn't as bad as everyone says he is. He is more than willing to help and explain things, and if you pay attention you will do fine. The text wasn't used much, but the APA manual will be your new best friend.

He definitely makes you work for your grade, but you can always come to him with questions about the coursework or anything psych field related and he'll help you out. I found him very motivational!

He is old school. Do the reading on your own, GET HELP IF YOU NEED IT and study. This isn't high school.

I thought he was funny and he definitely knows what he's talking about. Answers any questions students had. The tests are tough, but as long as you do what he asks of you, you'll pass. You must read the book and study. He makes you read every chapter, and it's necessary to pass. Also, make sure you do the online discussions.

They say there are a few teachers in your life who will pave the way for the rest of it, and Jim Jordan was really one of those. In class he's good at professionally guiding lively discussions, explains notes thoroughly, and does group activities to emphasize learning. It'll be fun, but don't expect it'll be easy. He won't accept excuses or "can't"

I've read a few reviews that said things like "you have to memorize the whole book", Professor Jordan's tests are based on comprehension and application and aren't simple vocabulary and true and false. It forces you to truly understand and learn the material and not just memorize terms. If you actually want to learn then you'll do fine.

No doubt his classes are difficult but this is college, not high school. He challenges his students to make sure they actually learn the material. He genuinely wants his students to leave his classroom with more knowledge than before, not just an easy A. He also had entertaining lectures. Highly recommend taking human sexuality in person with him!

Great instructor, for extra credit he passes out coloring books and you color in Freud's beard and cigar!! But 2 page report on a Dr. Phil episode is to long of an assign

I really liked Prof Jordan for abnormal psychology! His lectures were interesting and he has a good personality. His papers were easy if you follow the instructions given but my biggest complaint was that his tests could be confusing because his slides had little to do with test questions.

While the class itself can be difficult at times, Prof. Jordan presents the lectures in a way that will help you retain the information. He gives personal examples and goes off on tangents which are typically enjoyable. Most of your grades are not until the end of the semester and hours outside of class will be spent on coursework for an A or B

Challenging but fun

He is a really good professor, and kind. Make sure you read the book. Some say he tests over things that he doesn't cover in class. This is true but he says that ahead of time because there is not enough time to go through all of the material in the limited amount of time. So make sure you read the book. Ask questions if you have them. Good stories

Very laid back and wants his students to understand and be interested in the material. He relates the subject well to everyday real life cases. Definitely recommend him!

I took the online class but wish I could have participated a class discussion to enhance the learning experience. I believe he is a very good professor. He gives lots of feedback and if you are open to being stretched, he does challenge you to think deeper. If you are willing to learn, you will definitely have opportunity to grow in the class.

Had Professor Jordan in Fall 2020. What your effort is, is what your grade is

His lectures are interesting, he is super nice and he is doing a good job through his online classes and feedback to us students. I respect him and enjoyed his class!

I really liked his teaching style, used a lot of real life examples to explain key ideas from the book. The chapters are a little long but for the most part, interesting. Quizzes can be challenging but once you understand the expectations, they seem to get easier. I felt ready to move in to higher level classes because I got a good learning base.

I am so enjoying this class. It can be tough but I have learned a lot so feel confident going further into my psych degree. The subject matter was interesting. I was unsure of expectations with the web reviews but he explained after I submitted the first one, where my mistakes were. I have gotten better with writing and my grade went up.

Great class!

If you care about actually learning the subject of the class you are in he is worth it

Professor Jordan made the subject interesting with experiences and web reviews. The text book chapters were long but most of the material was interesting. I feel prepared for my 200 level courses knowing that I grasped the intro material.

Professor Jordan is a very good prof. I was unsure of taking an online course but his orientation video helped a lot. the few things I did nor understand, he was willing to explain. After I did a few web reviews I got the hang of it. You do have to study and not a class that you can just sit back and expect a good grade.

Learned a lot, good lectures that are posted. Seems like a nice guy.

I really enjoyed this class. I have not had much exposure to psychology so I found it interesting. Some of the module work was hard at first but as I began to understand how to do the experiences and web reviews, it got easier. Prof Jordan was good about getting back to me and he let me know where mistakes were made. He also gave extra credit.

Modules are interesting. Tests not too bad if you read the textbook.

Easy course.

Good class. Seemed like a lot of reading at first but once I paced myself did not seem bad at all. I feel good going into higher level courses now that I had this class. Prof Jordan was good about getting back to me. It is important to know the reading.

Intro to Psychology was good class. You need to be focused and take the class seriously. I learned a lot even though I am not a psych major. I would definitely take prof Jordan again.

Good class. You need to read the chapters to get everything. Had difficulty on quizzes in the beginning but got better. Prof Jordan gets back to you in a decent amount of time and answers questions. I enjoyed the class and there was extra credit. I would take him again for another class.

I am taking his online intro class this summer. Good class. Quiz 1 and 2 kind of hard but got the hang of what was expected and started doing better.

It is important to have a grasp on the material as the class is cumulative. I took this in person and the lectures are excellent. The topics are connected to real world examples which helped me to better comprehend them. The homework is not too extensive. He is not a teacher that will just give you all the answers. You will learn a lot!

Quizzes are a little tough but other assignments are not. Not too hard to get a good grade.

Excellent teacher. He really tries to help you in every way possible. Took him for an intro level class which may explain the lack of difficulty, but have never heard anything negative about him.

Very caring, enthusiastic, and actively engage with the class. Always open to answering questions and very friendly. 10/10

I've taken prof Jordan in the past. In person vs online is totally a different experience. He gave amazing lectures, real life examples. He truly wants you to understand, so ask the questions. He'll go in more depth. Obv it's not an easy course, that would be a different teacher, but I did LEARN. He is a nice guy too, no complaints

Great introductory class. You have to read the textbook, but if you're interested in psych, it's not bad. His coursework is different than other professors, you don't have weekly deadlines, you have bulk assignments. His lectures are simple but help supplement the reading and contain the information needed for essays. Answers questions within days

Great professor who really wants students to succeed. Lectures cover the textbook well, and using resources like Unstuckstudy alongside the course materials can make the quizzes manageable. Attendance is a must, but the workload is reasonable.

Interesting lectures
