Best teacher I ever had very hip and makes want to come to class. I learn so much from him. I signed up for his English 101 class in the fall
Throughout my semester with Jordan Bell my experience with him was very positive . he is a very well and understanding teacher my grammar has improved since being in his class . I would recommend him to students that need to get to English 101 with the ability to work as good as the others .
Mr Bell's classes are easy to attend. Don't expect his classes to be boring. He's enthusiastic and very energetic. He made the class very understandable and always would help out with any situation.
Amazing class
Jordan Bell is a really cool guy. Attending his class has helped me improve in English. He helps you understand what you didn't and creates a super welcoming environment. He is by far the best English teacher i have encountered so far.
Jordan Bell is a wonderful teacher. If you need help with anything he will help you. He is very organized. Treats everyone with respect and is very funny!!

Really great Teacher. I had him in the morning, but he always new how to get everyone talking and excited about what we were talking about.
An amazing teacher. He will take time outside of class to see you and helps you with papers if needed. Keeps class entertaining and includes everyone. Is interested in your life outside of class. By far one of my favorite teachers.
This is quite possibly the best English Class I have had in a long time. I learned life long grammar lessons which will impact my writing style.
A fun class to be in and learn. I would recommend this class to all students entering english 101. You truly learn the basics in an easy fun way

Mr. Bell is awesome!!
Mr. Bell is awesome! I had him for English 091 and made sure to get him for English 101. He is always excited to attend class and to teach his students. He makes sure that we all know that his office is open if we ever need help. He makes sure everything is explained in class and grades essay's tough but fair and will allow you to fix anything
Signing up for English class I was not interested at all. Professor Bell makes it very fun and enjoyable. He is very good at explaining assignments and when you need help he is always there. Sign up for his class!!!
Mr. Bell is awesome. I took his class over the summer and it was the best decision I've made! as long as you pay attention, and READ you will do great. He loves his job and loves teaching and he makes it very clear. He is so enthusiastic absolutely take another one of his classes! take this class if you want a nice,understanding, and hilarious guy
Mr. Bell is #super and #awesome. He's effervescent and his love for teaching really shows, for all his students are engaged in the class. The only way one could fail is if they don't do the work.
Absolutely an amazing teacher. The best English teacher in the school maybe even the world. Am so glad I got him as a teacher. Loved taking the class because Mr. Bell made it so much more enjoyable. I would suggest that anyone who can, should get him as a teacher. Best teacher ever XD Great personality and is very energetic. Great start the day.
Mr. Bell makes class fun and entertaining. He makes you have fun while learing. He is easily the best teacher I have had.
As a student with a focus in engineering, English is my least favorite subject. Mr. Bell turned this around during my summer class with him. The methods he uses to discuss literature kept me interested in normally dull material. The class was a perfect mix of work, discussion, fun, and often hilarity as well.
He made the class extremely enjoyable with his sense of humor. Doing the readings is a must; it will help you in class discussion and quizzes.
Even thought this class was at 8 every morning, he made everyone awake and have fun in class. We did work but they way you talk about it made it fun. I think he is an awesome teacher!
He was fun. he kept You interested.
Mr. Bell is a GREAT instructor!! Be prepared to work. He is always available to help you out with pretty much anything. Mr. Bell actually makes you want to attend class as his up beat mood is always a plus!!!
Mr. Bell imparts his students with knowledge that is indispensable and will be very useful in the long run. Overall, this class that can be viewed as boring, but with him teaching it is amazing and AWESOME!
Great teacher, kept class interesting for a very early morning class during the summer. The fact that I actually enjoyed going to class during the summer at 8 in the morning really just says it all. Highly recommend this teacher!
a summer class at 8 am was not something I wanted to do. Mr Bell came in everyday with a smile and energy that could engage anyone. I really enjoyed him as a teacher !
Had a great energy for an am class. Was fun and set up an atmosphere for great class discussion and made it known he was there if help was needed.
Class was always interesting and very informative. He's not hard just do the work based on what was learned in class. Wish I had taken him for ENG 101 also.
MR.BELL IS AN EXCELLENT TEACHER. I WISH ALL TEACHERS WERE AS FUN, ENTHUSIASTIC, CARING, AND INTERESTING AS HIM. HE KNOWS WHAT HE TALKS ABOUT AND SHOWS INTEREST IN HIS STUDENTS. IF I COULD I WOULD TAKE HIM THROUGHOUT MY WHOLE COLLEGE YEARS
Mr. Bell is the best teacher you could ever wish for. His class is full of excitement which goes great with his energetic personality.
He made this class so funny. Everyone loves him(I do). Don't be too quiet in class, because he usually call on the quietest student to answer the question(sigh). After all, he is the best professor that I've had!!!!!
Mr.Bell is a engaging upbeat individual. He goes out of his way to make his class as interesting and fun as possible. That being said he is no slouch, he will call you out if you don't participate enough, and he grades his papers fairly but tough. Best English Teacher I have ever had!!!

Mr. Bell is the essence of what a teacher should be: there for you, funny, informative, fun to be around, a good public speaker, and lastly fair. If you do the work you get results, and if you don't do the work he'll work with you. Mr. Bell makes English not boring, and has inspired me to actually learn. Anyone who has been in his class will agree

One of the best teachers I have ever had, he went above and beyond to help me whenever I had trouble or was unsure about an assignment. His class was so much fun I looked forward to going to class, and I was disappointed to leave when time was up. He truly is a special individual; he has a way of engaging the class that makes participating a Blast!
After taking ENG 101 3 times, Mr. Bell is is proof that teachers can really bring out the best in their students. His class really opened my eyes to a lot of things. He's always curious about how our weekends went, and more than willing to advise you whether in or outside of class. It's small things like that, that make me love him as a teacher.
Mr. Bell proves that teaching style makes a huge difference. He gives great feedback on essays and makes the information he is teaching easy to remember.
Great teacher, great personality.

Mr Bell is one of the greatest teachers here at DCC. This professor knows a lot about English and can give good feedback. He gets everyone involved with the and his vocabulary is enjoyable. He uses terms in a way that everyone will feel welcome and apart of his class. I highly recommend to take this professor, and if you do, just do the damn work.

Mr. Bell is a more than exceptional teacher. He prides himself on bettering those in and outside of the class. He is an inspiration to me to try and better myself.
Exceptional teacher, the lectures were fun and educational all together. Something other teachers should incorporate into their classes because a straight lecture is boring and interest is lost. Mr. Bell holds the students interest and I have improved nicely thanks to him.
He made the class easy to understand and very entertaining. I would definitely recommend signing up for English with Jordan Bell.

The greatest professor to take for ENG 102!!! Wouldn't trade him for anyone else!! Essays are easy and straight forward, participation is key. Other than that, just be prepared for some good laughs and a great, amazing, teacher!
Mr. Bell is a technically good professor; however, he is consistently late to class. This may not be a problem for everyone, but I like punctuality.
Kept me interested In class I failed English twice his class was awesome
A good teacher. Very chill
Professor Bell is an awesome teacher. He really cares about each individual student and offers to help out any way that he can. Even though he's always late for class, he always makes up for it by providing a great class discussion and offers to review material.
Bell is a great professor who cares about the class''s progress. He is very chill dude and is nice. He can be unorganized but will make it up to the class with bagels.
Mr. Bell was a great professor. There was never a dull moment in his class. He kept everyone interested and all his lectures were hilarious. 10/10 would take again, and Bagel Thursday's were always my favorite day!
Great teacher had him for English 101 and 102! Learned a lot and enjoyed English class for once.
Super cool teacher, you'll learn about more than just English
Mr. Bell is probably my favorite professor that I've had at DCC. Would definitely take a class with him again.
I took professors Bell's English 102 during the summer. There was a lot of short stories and poems we had to read. Overall, he is a good professor and honestly cares about his students.
Okay teacher
Good professor, personable, enthusiastic about the material, willing to have talk about more than just the course but still gets the lesson across to students. Would recommend for anyone taking eng courses
Amazing teacher!! Best English teacher I ever had! Unlike any English teacher I ever had, he made the class fun and interesting!! Will recommend to everyone!!! Will take again if higher level class is available
Great teacher, gave me the chance to prove myself as a student and I ran with it!
Very Enthusiastic! Do the work,show up and cite cite cite! Highly recommend this teacher!
One of my favorite teachers of all time
Every class went by super fast and I'm glad I took this class
Best professor I've ever taken. Essays are easy, readings are easy to follow, and his personality is hilarious and he was sweet and always enjoyable. You may not even ever want to skip class.
Great English teacher, very energetic.
Was a really great teacher. Easy to talk to and easy to get in contact with.
Fun, engaging and cares about his students.
Best teacher I've ever had.
I love this class I had recommended many students to his class. I waited a whole year to take this class. One of the best professors at Dutchess. I only hoped to had had him for Eng-092&101 Thank you professor I appreciate it.
Mr Bell is a great instructor and really wants his students to pass. Definitely not your average professor. He's hilarious, keeps your attention, and keeps it real.
Mr Bell's method of instruction helped me and I'm sure others too to navigate the course. It was a pleasure to have been in this class.
Prof Bell was excellent. Young and energetic, as well as in-tuned with the students. Knowledgeable and exceptional teacher who I wouldn't mind taking again. Also, will love to see him teach a perspective course on a bigger platform.
Professor Bell is awesome! I took him for a summer class at south, you have to your homework, he does grade for participation so he knows who didn't do the reading. He loves teaching and cares about each and every student. He does a group project that I was not excited about, but we ended up having so much fun filming it. Papers are due every week
Professor Bell is awesome. I'm so glad I registered for his class. There's readings and reading responses almost every class. If you like to write, it is easy to get an A in his class. He's really hilarious and gives great feedback on papers.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!! I always looked forward coming to his class. Would spend time asking the class what they did over the weekend and stuff, and it shows that he really cares about you rather than just teach. Read the readings because he gives out quizzes to make sure if people read them or not. Do the essays because he gives amazing feedback on them!! Mr. Bell is so chill, I wish i could have a class with him every semester. Coolest professor ever!!!
Easiest class I've ever taken. He is hysterical and excepts work weeks late. We often don't do work and just have class discussions about whatever we want to talk about.
I only have a few characters, so I'll just list off things about him. Easily reachable any time of the day, and welcoming Accommodating Good at debating Hilarious- you'll never have a dull moment in class. However, easily gets distracted. Gives good feedback Assigned readings every week and quizzes based on readings Really awesome teacher
Recommend taking Mr Bell for 102 if it's the last English course you have to take. I took it over the summer and it was the easiest class I've taken. He does a ton of group projects but half the class he talked about random stuff. He showed up 30 minutes late some days. If you want an easy A, take this class. If you are an English major... don't.
Best teacher ever and really funny
My favorite teacher of all time. You're in good hands with professor Bell. He truly wants the success of all his students! One will learn from his class, not just about english, but social issues and things pertaining to our world today. If you have the opportunity, take professor Bell!
Mr. Bell needs to think less about being friends and more about teaching. Nice guy but it's not fair to us who pay money and would like some instruction. I've got friends - don't want my prof to be my bff - and yes, he's way too laid back.
great teacher explain everything well class is very easy to pass once you submit all your papers
I learned nothing from this class.
I took this class over the summer. Prof Bell is very laid back but expects quality papers. His quizzes are easy as long as you read the material. I would definitely take him again.
The classes are relax and amusing. He is funny but unprofessional when he talks (bad words) He is disorganized. A lot of homework at the end of the semester, in the first classes nothing. However, he really appreciate the efforts and hard work. Attending class, read and bring assignment on time you pass. He is always willing to help after class.
Nice enough guy. Comes off over the top PC. Not serious doesnt want to be here anymore than you do. Need a teacher got enough friends.
Seems like he tries TOO hard to be the cool teacher, and it comes off as him not taking his job too seriously. Doesnt grade anything in a timely manner, and accepts work weeks late. If you are an English major, I suggest not taking this teacher.
He is disorganized, wastes lecture time, talks too much about his personal life, unprofessional. Takes advantage of being in his position, where he can do the least amount of work and still get paid. Does not use blackboard. Sloppy handwriting, only writes notes on the board. Tries too hard to relate to a cringe worthy extent. Easy A+ (Phil107)
Professor Bell is the best English teacher at Dutchess. He is willing to help you succeed. He helped me do well on the research paper. He is hilarious, and always make the class laugh and smile. Take Mr. Bell for any classes that you can. He is great.
Nice guy, learned nothing. I polled my friends: for humanities, if you want to learn philosophy, take Nelson; for English, if you want to learn writing, take Phillips, Yanoti, or Iraca. They're nice too BUT you also get your money's worth because you actually learn philosophy and writing in their classes. My two bits . . .
Took this class in the summer and so happy I did. I heard from other students that attempted this class with other professors and dropped the class. He makes it very easy to participate, and gives you the necessary tools to get an A. Keeps it very real and honest. You can miss class a few times but don't abuse it. Def recommend him.
He doesn't give alot of work just make sure you do the readings and you will pass
The class was great!
Talks too much about himself
Jordan Bell will pick on you to do something and then call you out in front of the whole class then makes you feel like an idiot. Talks about himself too much and thinks the world revolves around him. Overall WILL NOT recommend taking this class.
Mr. Bell is genuinely a great teacher. He doesn't give much work, just a few essays & short reading assignments, which are easily doable. In Mr. Bell's class, everybody is always engaged in the discussions. He's funny and his class is an easy A.
Jordan Bell is literally the best teacher at DCC. He does a great job teaching. He really enjoys putting smiles on students faces which is rare from a prof. He also gives amazing advice for in and out of school. Hes taught me a lot about our campus and literature. Hes a super helpful guy and really loves his job. I would highly recommend!!!
I was never a fan of English classes but this one was my favorite this semester. Bell is very considerate and caring. He is always doing his best to help all his students out as much as he can.
Took this class in spring of 2020 so I had the chance of both in person and online with professor Bell. Let me tell you he will literally bend over backwards to make sure every one of his students does not get left behind. He genuinely cares about his students education and wellbeing and is willing to work around your schedule if need be.
I took this class in a summer session back in 2019. It was my first college class after taking a semester off, and let me tell you- this man is the reason I went back to college full time. He is considerate and actually CARES about each student. He will never leave someone behind. If you show you're interested, he shows it 10x more. GREAT professor
I enjoyed what I learned. But every homework was 1 page essays. Quizs are 2-5 page essays. Every single week. If you not big on writing a lot do not take the class.
I love bell so much this is my 2nd time taking another one of his classes. And my 2nd review about him as well. He isnt like most teachers. He understands we are human just like him, you can practically talk about anything with him. Hes very open minded so dont be scared to say how or what you feel. Coolest teacher ever!
I took ENG101 with Professor Bell, and let me tell you, he is amazing! Professor Bell is super accessible outside of class and offers great feedback on assignments, allowing me to feel confident in my writing. Not only did help us become strong writers but, we developed our racial literacy, which was my favorite part of this course!
One of my favorite professors!
Professor Bell was unresponsive to my emails and was not clear from the start with what students needed to purchase for the class. He took a very long time to grade papers, and when he did grade it was 2 or 3 in the morning.
Definitely the best English teacher.
Absolutely PHENOMENAL professor. Clear grading criteria, excellent feedback, great lectures (it was an RA course, but he did weekly zoom classes for those who wanted to join, which was so helpful), always responsive to emails, always willing to support students however he can. Also a great, chill dude in general. Can't recommend his classes enough!
Professor Bell is an amazing person. He is very interactive with our class and goes out of his way to make sure we can do the best possible. He'll do zooms and in person meetings. I highly recommend this professor he is amazing!
