Attendance is not mandatory but he tells you what to study when you come to class. Also tons of iclicker activities for free points. Funny guy, honest, wants you to succeed.
I can honestly say Dr. Gordon is my favorite professor at Auburn! He gives a study guide for each test and has a review session the class before each test. Its almost impossible to not make an A. You can tell hes really passionate about psychology! This is the professor to take. Oh and also, lots of extra credit
Dr. Gordon is a great professor. He gives a study guide for every test, puts the notes online, gives clicker questions for points, and gives extra credit opportunities. He is also super nice and does what he can to help you out. Definitely take Dr. Gordon over any of the other professors.
He is amazing. He lectures all class but he keeps it interesting with videos. He makes everything easy to understand. His PowerPoints are online so you dont really need to take notes. Final is not comprehensive its just another test. He also give you the opportunity for easy extra credit.
i love dr. gordon!!!!! his lectures feel really long but that's the only complaint i have. he's really straight forward and makes things easy to understand if you just make an effort to pay attention in class. he gives you study guides and everything on the study guide is on the test. he's a sweetie and i would 100% recommend taking his class.
Dr. Gordon was a great teacher. His lectures were very straight forward, and if you study from the study guides and slides he gives you, you can pass easily with an A. We used an iClicker pretty much everyday, so you probably wanna go to class to get the points.
The tests are mainly memorization, but you do need to understand concepts. He gives you a study guide, which is very nice. When studying, I just went directly from the study guide, and never opened my book. He is extremely helpful and cares about his students.
Seriously such a nice teacher, very straight forward lectures. He even took a class day before every test to go over the study guide that was made for each lecture exam. Does do clicker questions so the lecture is mandatory to get the points, however he is a very good professor so the class isnt boring.
Dr. Gordon gave a study guide before every exam, and I only studied it and made all A's and high B's on my exams. The optional textbook isn't needed. It's important to come to class so that you get full credit on your iClicker participation grade. Also, complete the maximum research participation bonus hours he offers (easy grade booster).
Gave a study guide for every test. Must study the study guide and understand the concepts but if you do that its an easy A!
This class is amazing! He makes each lecture engaging and truly interesting. His testa are pretty straight forward as long as you study in class material and experiments, and do the study guide. He is incredibly helpful in office hours whether he is explaining confusing content or reviewing test! Take him!!!
Dr. Gordon was awesome! Take his class if you have the chance. Gave study guides for all tests, if you do them and understand it you will get an A. Lots of different opportunities for extra credit. Nothing but great things to say about his class.
All material on tests are from lecture. No need to purchase the textbook unless you really really just wanna read more about the subject. He gives lots of opportunities for extra credit mainly with completing extra study participation hours or reaction papers.
Dr. Gordon is my favorite professor I have had so far. His class was so interesting I actually enjoyed going every day. He can be hilarious, and he relates what he teaches to his own life. His tests arent bad; I studied about 2 hours for each test and made an A or B every time. The final exam is not cumulative and is just another test.
His class is somewhat boring actually. He posts his lectures online and the book is a good tool to use to study. It does require students to participate in psych studies but they are fun to do. He is an average teacher.
I never did anything for this class besides about 3 days before the test I would use the study guide he posted and teach it all to myself, and I have gotten A's on all the tests so far. With him posting all of his slides online it's very easy to do well in the course.
Amazing professor. Keeps the material interesting. Allows for the class before a test to review & answer questions. Youll need to study for tests, but they arent that bad. If you ask during the review day, he will tell you what is on the test.
Pretty straightforward class. You don't really need to go to lectures to understand the material (he posts the slides online), but you need to go for the TopHat questions he asks in class for participation credit. If you study the slides, its an easy A. Plus, he gives extra credit which helps.
Dr G is an amazing professor. If I would have went to class more it would have been an easy A. He does a lot of extra credit. He is super caring and if you ever go to his office hours in need of something he will do his best to accommodate you. His lectures are kind of boring but it's actually interesting material if you follow along
Very nice and knowledgeable guy, but the class is painfully easy. No reason to go to class since you can use top hat from anywhere and the lectures are barely different from the powerpoint. Take gordon if you can!
If you can take Gordon DO IT. This class was the easiest I took all last semester. Everything you need to be successful in this class is laid out for you on Day 1. You honestly don't even have to go to class because you can do it all from home. If you take this class you will not regret it.
The easiest class ever. I never went to the class. I studied 2 hours before the test and my lowest test grade was a 92.5.
I love this class. It is genuinely interesting, not too difficult, and I made a 97 on my first exam! Just study well before the tests, do the Tophat participation questions, and make sure to get your research hours in.
Before I took this class I read all these reviews and thought i'd be fine . because they are all so good .but man was i wrong . i studies alooot for the first two tests and made under a 40%. alot harder then youd think it be . im not a psych major and i was just taking this because i needed an elective . dont take this one, def not the easiest
Dr. Gordon is one of the best teachers I will ever have. He is an incredibly nice guy, and he makes it very clear how to do well in his class. His tests are straightforward. You have to study to do well, but he makes it clear on what to study. I could not recommend Dr. Gordon more!
Gordon is an awesome teacher! His exams follow his lecture slides, he posts his lectures in Canvas at the beginning of the semester so they are always accessible. He offers chances for extra credit and gives easy chances to earn points. His exams do cover a lot of material so studying is required. His exams follow his study guides pretty closely.
If you can take Gordon, do it! His class is so easy and interesting. He is super understanding and goes out of his way to help students. Do the study guides he posts before each test and it is an easy A.
Take him if you can! He is super chill and does not take attendance. He gives you all the material you need to pass and gives options for extra credit.
One of the best professors I've had at Auburn. Extremely easy and straight forward tests if you truly understand the material and study it. He always replied to any emails I had within 2 hours and was EXTREMELY accommodating to any issue I had. Genuinely kind and caring toward his students. 3 exams & final, online research activities and tophat.
TAKE HIS CLASS! Very straightforward and easy if you put in minimal effort. He truly cares about the students and wants them to succeed. His class is very interesting and the tests are extremely straightforward from the notes. He is so nice and did a very good job at explaining the material. 3 tests and a final which were all easy. LOVED HIM.
Great teacher, teaches both the facts of the topic and personal experiences with it. He gives a lot of examples so lecturing does not actually feeling like lecturing!! He makes the class easy by making sure we get the topic and teaching it very well to us.
Professor Gordon's class was one that I actually enjoyed going to. If psychology interests you then definitely take his class. Attendance is semi-mandatory (you earn points on in class questions but he gives more than the required # of points out through the year). Tests are straight from the study guide; memorize it and get an easy A.
I loved Dr Gordon, his class was entertaining and easy. He posts study guides of what you need to know for exams. He even posts review videos! Loved him!
Dr. Gordon was one of the sweetest profs I've had at Auburn. His class is 4 tests, but he gives you a study guide for each one that is almost exactly like the test. He really cares about his students, and you can tell he loves what he is teaching. Easy class and great teacher... definitely take him!!
TAKE HIM! He is so nice and caring. He made class enjoyable. 4 super easy tests, as long as you study the study guide!! easy A
Best teacher seriously. Did not do as well on the first test but he gives so many extra credit opportunities so my grade went from a D to an A. Definitely take him but dont not take it serious. its "easy" if you study and understand the material!
Super easy class. Show up, take decent notes, and you'll be fine. He posts all of his lectures on canvas and has study guides as well as more specific study guides about hard concepts. Really wants you to succeed!
Dr. Gordon is a great instructor. His lectures are very interesting, he truly cares about his classes, and he provides optimal amount of extra credit. If you study, stay engaged during class, and try on all assignments, this class will actually be really enjoyable. Dr. Gordon is great -- take his class!
Does a good job of letting you know what you need to know for the tests through study guides. Make a quizlet of everything on them, study it for an hour or so before the test and the class is an easy A. You don't have to go to class at all because you can follow the lectures online but if you want to get something from the class, go to it.
Class isnt mandatory but its honestly not bad to just go. I always watched all his lectures he posted on canvas starting three days before the exam and the lowest grade I got was a B. He respects all of his students and will help you with whatever.
Hands down one of the best professors at Auburn.
Makes class interesting. Amazing professor and would recommend to anyone taking psychology. Easy A
Dr Gordon is the best! Hes very nice and the class is super easy. Just pay attention in class and show up for participation points
Dr. Gordon is an amazing professor. He never tests on anything not covered in class and he gives study guides that covers all specific material you need to know. Lectures are interesting and attendance is not mandatory once you've gotten your 20 participation points. Favorite class in college so far
Dr. Gordon was a great professor. He tries to make his lectures interesting and gives a ton of opportunities for extra credit. His tests aren't that hard, and if you email him about anything he gets back to you really quickly. He's super nice and interesting to listen to. Take him!
Dr. Gordon is easily one of my favorite professors. He is always willing to help with any questions you may have and is easily accessible. All emails I've sent to him have been answered within five minutes. Go to class and fill out the study guides he gives, and it's an easy A. Definitely would take him again.
Great class and easy A. There is so much bonus it can bump you up a letter grade. The first test is the hardest and all the other ones are easier. Find a quizlet with the study guide and go over it a few times and you'll be good.
Prof. Gordon is the bomb. He obviously cares about the subject and his students. I took the smaller class for LBAR students. He posted his lectures online and gave study guides. A few assignments, 4 tests (noncumulative final), research participation, iClicker questions, a lot of extra credit opportunities. He is more than fair.
Dr. Gordon is a great professor! lectures are interesting and all notes are posted online. if you do all of the assignments and research participation then you will get a good grade. Tests are very easy if you study the quizlets.
Would defiantly take agin. Very good teacher. he is clear and easy to understand, His test are straight forward and not hard to make a good grade if you study a little.
BEST PSYCH PROFESSOR EVER!!! Tests are directly from the lectures. He made the information super easy to understand and I never got below a 92 on the tests. No in class quizzes, you need to do some research participation but if you do it as quick as possible you can get extra credit.
Take this man for psychology. Lets you know everything that will be on test during lecture. Does a review before the test. Tests are not hard. An A is easily achievable.
Dr. Gordon is the man. You can study for his tests the night before and make A's. The study guides have the whole test on them. Tons of extra credit. Take this class!
Rob is the absolute best!!! Take him for any psych class you can. He knows his stuff, makes lectures interesting, uses lots of examples, always willing to explain more. He obviously cares for his students and wants you to do well, and offers more than enough extra credit. His tests are exactly what we talk about in class. The best prof hands down!
If you even remotely try it is impossible to not get an A in this class. Dr. Gordon gives you an extreme amount of bonus opportunity and the exams come straight from the notes. Make or find a Quizlet with the terms, you'll do just fine. Plus, the lectures are actually informative and entertaining. He does a good job showing videos to make class fun
Easy A class. Lots of extra credit and participation grades. Tests are fairly easy if you study the night before. Good professor and interesting lectures
just take him. he's really great
he is so nice and taking care of his students! He helped me plan my future since I don't have in-depth knowledge about psychology and medical school! Please take his course if it is possible!
If you're trying to figure out if you should take Sensation & Perception, don't. I have regrets. Dr. Gordon is awesome, but the class is tough. Tests are 20 MC & 11 (hard) short answer q's, so you have to know your stuff. Rob provides a lot of extra credit opportunities & also drops 5/15 quizzes, so he cares about students' success. Still, don't.
Such a good professor!!!!! I took him online and while he didnt have zooms for lectures he did have a weekly zoom to check in. You would read the chapter each week and do a quiz and pack back. Exams are tough but just study ahead of time and you will be fine. Try to get him in person if you can!
Sensation and perception is really tough, lots of studying. But Dr. Gordan is a wonderful teacher and explains everything really clearly, including what you need to know for the exam. It is just a lot of information and the tests are half short answer so you need to know your stuff. He does give out really big and easy EC assignments though
I took this as an online class because of COVID. If you pay attention in class, along with the online recorded lectures, and use the study guide you should be fine. Dr. Gordon makes understanding the material really easy and I enjoyed going to his class.
Dr. Gordon was my favorite professor this semester. The class consists of one bi-weekly assignment, a quiz per module, and 4 exams. The exams were not extremely difficult, but definitely study hard. Dr. Gordon is a kind man who is very giving. He gives reviews for the exams, and lots of extra credit opportunities. I would love to take him again.
The lectures were long at times, but easy to read and take notes on. There were weekly quizzes with packbacks that were super easy and took 15 minutes at max to do. He gave a lot of extra credit at the beginning of the semester and the tests were easy if you took notes.
Professor Gordon is super kind and you can tell he is passionate about teaching. He makes his lectures more personable by adding his own stories. He teaches to the test so make sure you take good notes! If you do that then you will for sure get an A.
Dr. Gordon is awesome and you can tell how passionate he is about the subject. His class is structured in a way that you are almost guaranteed an A for minimum work and he will actually adjust the course to meet the overall student's needs. He also will give a good bit of extra credit towards the beginning and end of the semester to help you out.
Dr. Gordon is amazing! The best psych teacher out there for sure. I did not think his class was very hard; he gives great lectures and does not assign much work outside of class. As long as you show up to class and study for tests, you should be fine! He is super nice and passionate about what he teaches which makes the classes very interesting!
He was a very understanding professor that wanted us to succeed. His lectures were long but interesting. He gave plenty of grade opportunities.
He is one of the most thoughtful professors. Exams are not cumulative. You do have weekly Packback questions, but all quizzes are open notes. He offers plenty of extra credit opportunities and attempts to make his lectures are entertaining as possible. Highly recommend him! He truly is incredible and you can tell he loves his students and his job!
He is nice and is very good at lecturing. Sometimes they can get a little boring unless you are super interested in the subject matter. The entire class is based on your exam scores. As long as you make a quizlet of the study guide or get someone else to and study that, you will be fine. There are multiple opportunities for extra credit.
Super understanding and accessible. He posted Panopto lectures before classes, and would then lecture on them so if you went to class and watched lectures, you'd hear material twice. Easy projects and papers occasionally. His tests are usually similar to study guides. Definitely recommend to anybody needed Intro to Psychology!
super nice guy. I think I would have made a better grade if I had studied harder, but I had harder classes so I wasn't able to pay as much attention to it.
Loved Dr. Gordon! Nice guy, very sweet. He zooms his class so you can decide whether you want to go to class or just watch. He uses TopHat to ask basic questions during lectures for participation points, but you can do that at home and even missing some wont hurt your grade. I just look at his slides before a test and make 100s. Easy!
Dr. Gordon is so kind and understanding. If you take his class he has study guilds and kahoots for all of his tests which is over exactly what is on the test. I would definitely take him.
Super chill guy often cancels class and if you occasionally show up and pay attention you will pass
Such a sweet guy. You only have a few assignments and the tests are pretty straightforward. You have the option to take the class over zoom which was nice because I didnt feel like I needed to be in person for every class. Highly recommend:)
Professor Gordon is caring and very good at explaining the content of his lectures. He makes it very interesting by using lots of examples. There are extra credit opportunities and a few very small quizzes due only a few times per semester. Attendance is recommended because tophat questions are assigned during lectures. He is a great professor!
By far one of my favorite classes I have taken. Lectures are very easy to follow and uses real examples to help you learn things. Gives many extra credit opportunities to bring up grade. Test studies guides are very clear and helpful for tests. Easily accessible for help if you need it. 10/10 would recommend this course to anyone who is interested
Gordon was a great professor. This was easily my favorite class, and it has nothing to do with my major. He was super chill. He gives three no-questions asked extensions, which I didn't even have to use at all because he only assigns one thing per week and you have the entire week to do it, and it's easy. Take notes, and you'll be fine.
He was seriously the best professor. I should have done better in the class but didn't only because I did not study when I should have on the first two tests. 10/10 professor, he seriously cares about his students and explains things perfectly. Take him if you have the chance!
Great professor and a great class, would seriously recommend. He gives you plenty of opportunities to do well in his class. His lectures are interesting and he does a great job at breaking down information for you to understand. He also gives opportunities for extra credit.
love him!! so sweet and great teacher
The best class I've ever taken and the best professor I've ever had! His lectures were super interesting, and he truly cares about his students' success. Attendance is not mandatory, but I would recommend going to class because going definitely makes the tests easier, plus I enjoyed going to it! The tests are easy if you do the study guide!
This guy was my favorite professor of this semester. He is super nice and gives very good notes and lectures. He also provides study guides and has review sessions for each test. This is a super easy professor, and I highly recommend taking him if you're able.
i literally love this man. the class isn't an easy A, but its not a hard A. the topics can be somewhat difficult, especially if you have never seen it before, but he makes class fun! take gordon!!
Gordon was a great PSYCH teacher!!! I would 100% take him again. Class can be a little boring just because it is all lectures but he really does make them interesting. Class is 4 tests, online quizzes (open note), and packbacks. Attendance is not mandatory but I would go to majority of them so you know what's going on. Just study and its an easy A!
Dr. Gordon teaches his material very clearly and in a way that intrigues the student. If you attend lecture and pay attention you will receive a good grade in this class. I attended lecture and took notes and am ending with an A.
Listen to what he says during lectures and you'll be good. His slides often don't have all the info you need for tests, so what he says is more important. He clearly cares about what he is teaching and readily answers anyone in class has.
This man is so kind and passionate about psychology, especially sensation and perception. His class is basically just lecturing, but you need to actually listen to what he is saying because not all the information is on the slides. He typically recorded lectures, so just make sure you're not basing your knowledge off of just the slides. He's great!
Professor Gordon is a great teacher. This class is easy as long as you pay attention during the lectures, complete the homework, and study the study guides he provides. He is very easy to access outside of class and really cares about his students.
Dr. Gordon is a really great professor here at Auburn. You will need to study for this class, but he gives great lectures and the homework helps a lot too. He also gives study guides that are beneficial. I personally am not a big math person, but for having an A in a statistics class, I have to give all credit to Dr. Gordon. Take him if you can!
By far my favorite professor I've had at Auburn. His tests are easy if you study and he has opportunities to receive extra credit. Very sweet and caring professor.
He was an amazing professor who was really easy to listen to. Gave great material to study for tests and felt really prepared.
Dr. Gordon is simply the best. He is so caring and truly wants his students to do well. He knows the material well and explains it in amazing ways. If you study, you will do well. He offers extra credit on every exam, in addition to other opportunities. I wish he taught more classes so I could have him again!! He is so kind and I adore him!
He's actually the nicest guy ever and really wants you to do well in the class. He also cancelled class a lot and we still got through the material.
He is a sweet guy and does care and post videos of him explaining any questions. His class is the same every day, it is always lectures and taking notes. He also does his class from zoom which is nice so whenever you can't make it too class. He posts a kahoot as a study guide for every exam which is nice but studying is required to pass.
A genuine and great guy. Probably the best professor I've had. Great at elucidating concepts and answering questions, funny, extremely approachable.
Robert Gordon is the BEST professor! I personally struggled in this class, but as long as you attend class & listen to the lectures you will be good. He really cares about his students and what he's teaching and he actually wants you to succeed in his class. Just a really great guy. Take him if you get the chance!
His class is pretty easy as long as you attend lectures. He posts a kahoot to practice with before the exams which I found very helpful. He also is pretty flexible with missing work but you have a limited amount of excuses.
Dr. Gordon is one of the best professors I have had. You can tell he genuinely cares about his student's success and is passionate about his teaching. He is extremely knowledgeable and can communicate complex ideas in a way that makes them much easier to understand. I would highly recommend taking one of his classes if you can!
Dr. Gordon is so awesome! He explains everything so well, and makes everything so easy to understand. He has his lectures on Zoom so you can watch them from home, and he records them so you can review it. His exams are straight to the point, and as long as you memorize terms you'll do great. Definitely take him if you can!One of the best profs here
A very king and caring professor. Lecture heavy BUT i find the lectures to be fun and engaging. His study guides, reviews, and kahoots are incredibly helpful, and you even have chances for extra credit through research and writing papers.
Absolutely love him as a professor! He provides study guides and kahoots, does in class review sessions, and the tests are very straightforward.
Dr. Gordon is amazing! He's so easy going and kind. He's clear with what he expects from students, gives amazing study materials, and he's never going to trick you on exams. Class is just lecture but he does a great job of explaining concepts. I hope to take him again in the future!
Dr. Gordon is amazing! His lectures are excellent and easy to follow. As long as you review the material carefully and do your homework, you can get good grades. If there are any questions, his emails are answered promptly. In a word, he is a very good professor. I hope I can take him again sometime!
I took this class online and it was great. Lots of material to work through, but the tests were not too hard. He gives lots of extra credit as well. Would recommend
Excellent class that I want to take again
I absolutely loved this class. I had taken AP psych in high school and didn't understand a word, but taking his class, he really breaks down all the material and makes it easy to understand. His tests are very straightforward and fair and all multiple choice. He also provides a Kahoot before each exam that covers all the material you need to know.
Great Professor. Only tested on the notes you go over. He breaks down the concepts well and makes sure you understand. Very likeable person. Gives you study guides and Quizlet's for the tests.
Dr. Gordon is great! He has a review session right before exams and also makes a kahoot that is identical to the questions asked on exams. Attendance isn't mandatory, but I highly recommend going because his lectures are interesting and he does a good job at explaining concepts. I loved this class and wish I could take him again!
Such a good teacher! Attendance is not mandatory but I recommed going b/c a lot of test content comes from what he says. Provides extra credit opportunites as well as before each test has a review session and a kahoot that is very similar. Can tell he has a passion for psychology and made learning about it interesting.
Dr. Gordon is a really great professor. Lectures are easy to understand and course material is not too difficult. All lectures are available online in videos in case you miss class. His exams are easy and gives you all the material to prepare. Would definitely take his class again.
He is AMAZING! If you can take his class. He really explains everything for you to understand, and he truly wants you to succeed. He provides more than enough resources for you to do well in his class such as Kahoots! Overall, I really enjoyed his class.
TAKE HIM!!!! He is a phenomenal teacher. He gives us so many study guides and opportunities to prepare well for the exam. He really wants us to succeed. 10/10. Can't say enough good about him!!!!
Rob Gordon is one of my favorite teachers I have ever had. He is one of the kindest people and he really wants his students to do well. He makes everything easy to understand and has little homework. He is really just the best, and I wish I could take him for every class.
Dr. Gordon is an amazing teacher! Attendance is not mandatory but you will have to meet a certain amount of packback points in order to get full credit. The tests are all multiple choice and come straight from the lecture notes that are available on packback. This is a great class and if you pay attention in class it's an easy A!
An amazing professor! He clearly outlines everything we need to know for exams by providing a study guide and kahoot! Very interesting and engaging lectures!
My favorite prof at Auburn. He cares about his students. He gives three "no questions asked" extensions on homework and prepares you very well for his tests. He has even offered to meet with me on zoom over the weekend when I couldn't come to office hours. I have enjoyed his class and I'm taking him again next semester. Take him if you can.
I genuinely love this man. He really has a heart for his students and wants them to succeed. He communicates his material well and assigns homework that will help you understand the material rather than just busy work. Attendance is semi-mandatory; you'll be fine if you only show up to like half of the classes. Take him!!!
I could not recommend a professor more! Dr. Gordon is so great. There are 4 test grades, multiple grades for top hat participation, extra credit points for doing research participation, and quiz grades. Everything you would need to know is on top hat, so if you miss class, you are not really missing much.
One of my favorite professors! He is super sweet and understanding. If you miss an assignment, he is super lenient and will give you some time to work on it. There are extra credit opportunities available, and they are really easy to complete. Defiantly recommend this professor.
Gordon holds my attention during his lectures, making class less painful. Attendance isn't mandatory and if you miss a class he recorded his lectures (I believe from Covid-era) and they are just as helpful!! I would recommend going to class as much as you can though because he explains everything the way he will expect you to apply it on the test!
I enjoyed Dr. Gordon's class a lot! The topic on the final was the most interesting! His class is laid out very well, so it is super easy to make an A! Answer the TopHat questions, do the packback's, quizzes, research (and the extra credit research), and study the Kahoot's he gives! You are almost guaranteed to make an A on every test!
Dr. Gordon is an amazing professor. He provides everything for a student to be successful. Attendance is semi-mandatory, but I would suggest not missing many class times. He provides recorded lectures, PowerPoints, homework, previous test examples, etc. Utilize all this and you will be very successful. I will absolutely take him for future courses.
Dr Gordon is easily my favorite professor I have had at Auburn. You can tell he cares about his students and he structures his classes in a way that ensures students are learning without making it difficult to get a good grade. Could not recommend enough
Show up to class every day if you can, he does little online questions that count as your attendance. Really sweet guy, he did talk a lot in lectures but all of it was useful, take notes and you'll be fine. You should do all the homework, but i skipped like 3/4 of it and most of the research papers and still ended with an A. take him!!!
Gordon was a good professor, but it was impossible for me to pay attention during his lectures. His tests are semi-difficult. There is no homework.
Great teacher. Class is interesting and easy and i dont hate learning it. Would recommend
He's a great professor and if you go to class to get the top hat credit then you'll make an A easy.
Very nice professor and very easy work/exams! All multiple choice. Homework is weekly but also very easy.
My favorite teacher at Auburn! He gives really good lectures and gives lots of examples to explain the material. Very approachable and gives study guides that are basically the test.
Great dude. Very interesting lectures where he explains things in an understandable way.
Amazing professor, the lectures are very interesting, test are very straightforward and attendance is not mandatory.
This class was very easy as long as you prepare for the exams. Class is not mandatory, and he posts all the lecture slides. The tests are straight are straight from the slides and he provides sufficient study materials so you will succeed.
Tons of grace and leeway. Extra credit, extensions, dropped grades. Final is not cumulative. Exams are easy if you study and he has two review sessions. Top Hat is used for "attendance" and you need 20 out of maybe 50 points for a 100%. Kind guy. Class itself is a little tough but he gives you all of the tools to succeed. Lecture slides are online.
Best teacher I've had at Auburn! This class was really interesting and educational, and it felt like Dr. Gordon knew the answer to literally any question we had about the topics. His exams are very straightforward and if you just study the information, you'll know how to answer the questions. He gives extra credit opportunities and is very caring.
Dr. Gordon's class is great! He provides helpful study tools like Kahoot and TopHat. With the easy grading system, unstuck ai, and engaging lectures, you're set up for success.
Professor Gordon is one of the best professors at Auburn! His exams were not bad at all and the study guide he goes over in class is the same format as the exams just different numbers. I honestly put little effort in this class and still found it very manageable. Definitely recommend him!
Best professor ever! This has by far been my easiest and most interesting class at AU! He has bonus on every test. The tests are insanely easy if you just go to class because he tells you exactly what will be on them and tells you how to answer them. He does 2-day reviews and is an easy grader. Lots of easy quiz grades, too! I 100% recommend him!!
great teacher
Dr. Gordon is the best! His class was so interesting and one of my favorite classes I have taken at Auburn. The concepts can be difficult but he breaks it down so well. I wish he taught more classes!!
This class was actually amazing and its very obvious it is something Dr. Gordon is very passionate about. He is one of my if not my favorite professor I have ever had in my three years at Auburn. Tests are multiple choice and written response but he prepares you very well.
TAKE THIS CLASS!! He cares so much and you will make an A if you study. He gives weekly assignments on packback, but they aren't difficult once you get the hang of it. Before each test, there are 3 quizzes in Canvas, but you get more than one chance on them. He also gives 3 "no questions asked" extensions on pretty much anything but tests.
Easiest class I've ever taken. Tests were straight from lectures and kahoots. Answers emails fast, and cares about his students.
Professor Gordon is a doll! He is so precious and so helpful! He is very accessible outside of class and really wants his students to succeed. Couldn't recommend him more! TAKE THIS CLASS!! As long as you pay attention in class and look over your notes you will do great!
Very good professor! He is very organized and gives you everything you need for tests. If you pay attention and study this class is not hard.
Amazing guy- funny and his lectures were very interesting and easy to follow. He uses TopHat participation as part of your grade. As long as you spend time with the course content and pay attention it's a breeze! The final is not cumulative either, so one less thing to stress out about during finals week. Highly recommend!
Pretty easy class. Offers lots of extra credit. Test are straightforward. Attendance is not mandatory. Only went to class on exam grades and got an A
Honestly he is the best professor I've had at Auburn. Just a super kind guy overall, and extremely fair. If you do the reviews and pay attention in class you'll get an A. Minimal homework with plenty of time to turn it in. He also gives out a lot of extra credit.
Very nice guy
This class was an easy A for me! I enjoyed his lectures, and this was my favorite class this semester. The tests are pretty easy if you come to the lectures and pay attention. He uses TopHat, and you will receive participation points from it, so I highly recommend attending majority of the lectures!
He is actually the kindest professor. He loves what he does and you can tell. Tests are not difficult, and there is plenty of opportunity for extra credit with research. You have to study for tests, not just the Kahoot, but as long as you pay attention you should do well.
He's actually probably my favorite professor I've ever had. He makes the class so interesting and is so knowledgeable about it. He genuinely cares for everyone and wants everyone to do well. I wish he taught more classes, I would so take him again. If you can, take his class!!
The only professor I will give a rating for, he is the goat. Super nice guy, and cares about his students. Responds to emails and tests are pretty easy if you just study. Absolutely take this guy.
Dr. Gordon really cares about his students and he wants you to do well. This class can be really difficult, but he teaches it in a way that makes it so much more accessible. His study guides are pretty much exactly like the exam and he is very clear on what he expects from you.
Absolutely amazing. I would take this class over and over. He's so sweet, and a GOOD teacher! Good extra credit available and exams are easy if you but in the effort.
Really nice guy. Not a lot of assignments, so the tests brought my grade down, but they weren't horrible, and he offers some extra credit opportunities.
HE IS SO AWESOME!!! Please take Dr. Gordon! He is so kind and really cares for his students. I wish I could take this course again! Tests are super easy if you study!
Awesome teacher, super funny, really sweet. He gives you all the material you need, you will do great if you study.
I would take this class again and again if I could. Dr. Gordon is such a good professor. He is so nice and truly cares about the well being of his students. He would make time for review periods before every exam (sometimes 2 periods). Only 3-4 homework assignments all semester. Lectures are also engaging because of top hat. 10/10 recommend!
He is such a caring professor, the exams are based on study guides he provides so if you study them you will get a 100 on every exam. Could not recommend enough taking this class! Attendance is based off of TopHat and the questions he asks, so potentially you could reach your attendance points halfway through the semester.
Great guy who instructs the course well and is helpful. You will need to study well as there a lot of terms and concepts, Quizlet is your best friend. Attendance is optional and you can just log into class at dorm. Exams NEVER have any material that hasn't been shown on the slides. Just do the work and study then there is no reason to not succeed.
Probably the nicest professor at Auburn. He really cares about his students and his class was by far my favorite class to take. I'd 100% recommend this class to everyone. He gives really engaging lectures and made class really enjoyable to go to.
