Gordon is amazing! I've heard he was a good teacher, but he really is. He helps you with the work if you don't understand it and will go step-by-step to help you get the answer. There is HW, but it helps you to pass the tests. I would love to take him for every math class. He also doesn't sugar coat anything, he tells you straight up. 10/10

He will tell you to work straight from the book and if you have any questions he will send you to the math lab because he is only available two days a week. Oh and get ready to cram homework of 2 to 3 chapters in two days, because he makes it available at his leisure. As well as emails(no replies), its a self taught class with this professor.

He runs a tough class, he'll answer your questions in class and he gives good lecture, but he tests you on your knowledge hard. Very prepared for calc 2 now but it was a bumpy ride getting here. Fair but tough

He's definitely one of the best professors I've ever had. Just do all your homework and you'll be good to go. Also, study daily as there are quizzes in almost every class. If you feel like you are left behind, ASK!! He'll definitely help you out, whether it'll be in-class or in-office hours.

If you someone take this professor I promise you will have a great semester and you will understand the lecture. he doesn't gives a lot of homework and to pass his class you just have to do the homework and work harder get a passing grade for all the exam which is not hard. He always available when you need help for homework online or in person.

My personal opinion, Prof. Gordon made that class for me easier than what I heard from other students about Calculus 1 class in other colleges. He answered all my questions (and I was asking all the time during the class), other options were zoom meeting before the class or email. That was my first online (zoom) class that I feel confident about.

He was really honest and real with us. He uses Pearsons Homework so its a lot of questions. He lectures off of MyMathLab sometimes or would lecture off of the whiteboard. If you want to go into Calculus 1 prepared take him. He curves every test including the final. NO midterm ONLY four test and the final.

Very judgmental and pretentious a**hole IMO so if you take him make sure you make a good first impression because it will probably determine how he treats you for the remainder of the semester and he can be very condescending if gets a bad impression of you. But because he sucks at his job he does curve a lot of test grades so I finished with an A.

You are not allowed to ask questions about previous classwork or ask a question about a previous example that he just gave in the beginning of class. He does not care that you do not understand a concept, he will just keep going. If you ask a question he responds to you in a rude way.TAKE ANY PROFESSOR except for this one!!!! AVOID AT ALL COST!!

His teaching just wasn't clear to me and he openly stated "I'm one of those teachers who has no problem failing the entire class" the subjects were difficult to understand but as our teacher I feel like he could've helped make learning it less confusing. He uses mathway and there was a lot of issues with the homework's.
