Definitely the best math teacher at COD. Sign up early and get to class EXTREMELY early if you are trying to crash it- there were 40 people on the first day that were after 3 open spots. he is lenient as long as you're trying, the tests are usually 10 questions. do all the homework every night, otherwise you'll bomb the quizzes.

This is the guy you want to take if your weak at math. It cannot be overstated how much easier this class will be with him as your teacher. The only negative aspect I can see in him, is that perhaps his "easiness" can translate to a weaker mathematical work motivation. But otherwise, he is great.

Dr Jordan is by far the best math teacher I have ever had. You wont be disappointed, he can make math easy and fun, hes much different from most teachers at COD, he actually cares. If you take another professor and fail, don't say you weren't warmed, Jordan is the man. Lots of test and you have test remediation, so its kinda of hard to fail.

Feel HONORED. If you are lucky enough to take his class, He is the best Prof. (Dr. Jordan) has so much passion for Math and teaching that he engages the entire class room (if you are there to learn) he passes it onto all of his students. He is the best there is! If I had a Prof. like him in every subject school would be allot easier :) & Math 40

The class is hard for anyone who's not naturally gifted at math but his tricks and tips make math as easy as it can be. You put in the work, and I guarantee you'll pass!
