Very clear. Dont buy book, but buy the study guide.Test is exact same questions

My favorite teacher here so far, gives you essay questions, easy A.

very c;ear on material, study guide is exactly the test. Class attendance is a must to do well. Minimal effort needed.

easy A. just buy study guide, tests are easy. gives essay questions. dry (but funny) humor. USA is number 1.

funny guy but acts like a jerk sometimes. gives question to essay before test. ez class.

he's a pretty funny guy. my friend has a thing for his hands.

One of the Best teachers at state. Although I only receieved a C+ I only attend 4 lectures and never studied for the tests or read from the book. The tests are in that little paperback book he assigns. Funny.

Really easy. His tests are in the packet that is all you have to study. I received a C but I didn't study that hard. I regret it now could have easily received a B.

God Bless SDSU for hiring a token Republican! Yeah he is tough at times and doesn't take ****. But you learn, and he is fair. He is arrogant, and hot temper at times, but I liked him. He knows his **** and brings high energy to his lectures. Easy &qu

He is probably the easist MicroEcon instructor, I recommend taking him. However, he is very rude and hard to approach. There is no need to buy the book if you go to class. But just make sure you go to every class or else get the notes from someone.

Greatest econ teacher I have ever had!! He was very helpful and he taught things the way you could understand!!

I got a B+ in this class with minimal effort. I went to most classes and took notes, and just reviewed the notes. He spoon-feeds the information to you, so for those that are lazy and don't like to read the book, this is the guy for you. Very easy class.

funny guy good teacher. you have to go to class basis mostly everything on lecture. have taken him twice, and is really helpful with the material. do exactly what he says and you get an A. Hates the Left and Liberals

Not hard if you attend class. I missed more than half the classes and I got a C+...oh yeah, he hates Democrats!! Good Man!!

Gordon is not a bad teacher. He is just very anal. A downside is that he does not give partial credit for ANYTHING. That is what pissed me off the most. He is still 1000x better than Kartman though, so take him for 320. He is not very difficult.

took him for the summer and he was ok. still a punk and hates democrats. just go to class and take notes and don't have to buy the book.

easy teacher, do not need book, easy class to get b with little effort, to get a A need to work little harder... nice guy but sometimes when he is having a bad day tend to yell at his student, recommend to take for good grade

funny guy, pay attention and youl do fine. easily get a b without book

makes econ interesting. only buy his study guide. tests question come right out of it. he's kinda mean, but the class is easy.

Good teacher, maybe a little too outspoken about political affiliation and how he doesn't like students. Helpful in office hours. Pay attention and you'll be fine.

Great teacher, makes sure you understand the material before tests and is very clear. Going to the lecture is the easiest thing to do but he provides a study guide book that has everything outlined. As long as you know what was covered then you can study the material on your own.

A good teacher. He knows the material. Don't need to buy book, but buy study guide. Over half the stuff on test is from study guide. Make sure you go to the lectures. He doesn't think women are smart enough to do anything, but that's ok, I'll take my "A" and become the first woman president!:)

HES MEEEEEEAN! And opinionated. But interesting. Dont need book or study guide, just go to class. You HAVE to pay attn, he wont have it any other way. i got an "A", easy. he hates freshmen, and girls, and democrats ie: communists, and frat boys, and......

IF you are a republican take this class, if you are a democrat, try to avoid this guy around campus. He hates left wing people and thinks europeans are dirty communists. I loved every minute of his class and got an easy B. Just make sure you dont get caught doing anything wrong in his class. Peac

i reccomend this guy to anyone! it is the easiest class...all you have to do is buy the study guide and study it. You don't have to go to class and you can still get an easy A or B. Plus he is frieken hillarious!

total jerk. picks on kids, and hates cell phone going off. don't get on his bad side or be a democrat. class was ok.

Great teacher if youre not democrat or female.Makes the class fun even when he's picking on you,trust me he'll pick you.If you don't understand something give in and admit it when he asks or you'll look stupid.Just pay attention or he'll get you.Remember"We're#1,every1 else is not & not even close."

A no B.S. kind of teacher, doesnt take any B.S. either. Just go to class take notes, participate, and sit in front. Only two test, thats it! no homework! Test are lecture notes, chapter, and an essay which he tells you the anwser before. If your not scared of agreesive teacher take this class.

He doesn't like deomocrats. He doesn't like cell phones. He doesn't seem to like teaching. Why does he do it? Probably because he's not good at anything else. The class was mediocre.

Go to class and take notes, study and review it. You can get an A!

2 tests and no homework.He is a little agressive, but he wants you to learn something. I personally believe that other teachers should be more like him without the comments toward foreigners. Instead of the usual liberal viewpoint, it's nice to get the conservative viewpoint for a change.Those that don't like him are democrats and foreigners!

Class is easy enough. He goes over the important material several times, so if you go to class on a regular basis its easy enough to learn it through repetition, especially if you don't get it the first time. He lectures class practically everyday about how stupid students are. Pay attention because he calls on random people to answer questions.

Prof. Gordon exemplifies everything that is right with America. His class is easy and he explains every concept in detail. Democrats beware; your skewed economic beliefs will be proven wrong. Definitely one of the best courses I've ever taken, and one of the funniest, most interesting and knowledgeable people I've ever met.

Democrats will cry, and republicans will laugh. He says what most people are afriad to say. Class is cake. He tells you exactly what is on the exam and gives you the answer to the essay Q word for word. be ready to go to the board, he picks people out.

Very straight forward professor, tells you what to study, gives essay question to memorize. Seems very bitter at the world, and likes to ridicule. Won't help much, but an easy class. Easy class, but a very unclassy professor, and I'm a Republican!

This class is pretty easy as long as you aren't scared of the teacher. He tells you exactly what to know and all the notes are in the book that he made. Basically follow along and highlight. There are 3 test and they are pretty easy especially if you know the material. Highly recomend

still an easy class to pass but he has tightened up his grading style. no more optional final and not much patial credit.

He is a decent teacher, goes slow and reviews the main points. He puts you on the spot and can make u feel stupid but it forces you to pay attention and do better. Overall, thumbs up!

This class is so easy. Everything you need to know for the test are covered in the notes. I didn't read the book, studied the notes and got an A. He makes sure you know and understand the material. Very good professor. HIGHLY recommended. Easy class.

just know the notes from the lectures and you'll do good on the exams. he makes the lectures go by quick, not all that bad to listen to.

He is a good teacher. Histest are not hard if you study you notes. Also if you buy the study guide for the class and do the work problems you will do ok in the class. Towds the middle of the semester he lets you use notes. Pay lots of attention during his lectures, because he tends to pick random people to explain what he is doing in the board.

BEST teacher ever! He is hot and has a sense of humor. Tests are cake, you dont even need to study that hard to get an A. He grades very easy too, like he gives As and Bs like candy. Take him, you wont regret it ;)

I hated this teacher plain and simple. He was a jerk and had no tolerance for anything or anyone. I do not recommened his class.

if you are a little girl that is going to go home and cry to mommy every time someone tells you something that hurts your fellings, dont take him. he was great. funny. clear. only buy his study guide. if you slack he will put you on the spot. easy class. dont be a baby and enjoy.

cooooooooool!!!!!!

REALLY EASY CLASS.. ONLY BUY STUDYGUIDE, HE TAKES EXAM QUESTIONS STRAIGHT FROM IT. IF YOU DO WELL ON THE FIRST THREE EXAMS YOU DONT HAVE TO GOTO THE FINAL. HE MAKES FUN OF PEOPLE IN CLASS AND CAN BE AN ASS BUT ITS ENTERTAINING. REALLY EASY A.

Easiest class I've taken at state. I had to take econ 101 twice because I failed the first time. I was lucky to get into Gordon's class, he changed my views on economics. Not only did a get an A in his class, I didn't even have to take the final.

as long as your not a baby or a liberal you will like this guy. this class is ridiculously easy the study guide is all you need to buy it has all of the answers to the exams in it so study that and you'll be fine. also he throws out a test so if you do well on the first three you dont have to take the final

This class was super easy, I would highly recommend Prof. Gordon....you must go to class though!! I skipped a few lectures and was lost when it came to the test. Also he doesn't tell you the dates of your exams so you have to go to find out when the tests are. He's funny, makes fun of frat guys and sorority ****s, don't let him offend you!

I honestly went to about 4 or 5 classes (took it on tues nights only) and got a B in this class. Super easy class, I would recommend it to anyone. just review the study guide for tests. he is super funny too, makes fun of everyone. just dont take it personally. loved this class and love him.

Good teacher. Dont buy the book, its useless. Rubs some people the wrong way, but its not a big deal. Absolutely get the study guide as it is his entire lecture along with practice tests, key terms..etc. You need to showup to class every once in a while to find out when the tests are, but other then that its not required. Highly recommend.

Know your material because he will call on you or have another classmate call on you. Def purchase his study guide! Classes were long but flew by! The one thing that I don't like about him is he didn't keep his word with the final grade. Said he'd bump you up if you were a 79.6 and didn't! Overall, he's good.

If you go to class study your notes and the study guide you will get an A. You don't even need to study the book don't waste your time with that. He's a good teacher, but will keep the class in check and it can be funny.

Great teacher,everything you learn you will remember. Teaches about current economy as well as the fundamentals. Go to class and follow the study guide and you will have a fun time. Overall I thought he was a great economics professor. Take him 100%

I don't know why everyone hates him so much. He's outspoken and sarcastic but I like that about him. In spite of his anti-democratic rants (as anyone who's taken his class is fully aware of)and seemingly condescending attitude, I look forward to every class. Go to every class and know the vocabulary from the book and you're golden.

Complete Jerk!! Will call you out no matter who you are or what you try to do to avoid it. There is a but. Great professor he makes the material easy to follow and makes sure you understand it. Tells you exactly what is on test. 4 test online homework that youy can re-do until you get %100. Show up take him you'll get an A.

AWESOME! His unique style of teaching keeps everyone awake, attentive, entertained and helps you build backbone. Aside from that, he is %100 helpful and dedicated to your learning. And the tests are easy. Class is optional, BUT DON'T MISS ANY. He will publicly make note of it.

very easy/tells u whats going to be one the tests that u need to know/straight forward/explain everything u need to know/very helpful/make sure u bring a caluater lol/funny/picks on people randomly/hates demorcates/makes jokes/very cool/U SHOULD TOTALLY TAKE HIM!

Great professor. Jokes around; don't take it too seriously. You probably don't even have to go to class (accept on homework days, which he makes very hard for those who don't go that day) and just read all the chapters and you'll do great. Essay question on tests, but he tells you exactly what's on it. Piece of cake.

Essay question on the tests are pure memorization because he outlines what he wants. Other than that, read the assigned reading a week before the test and do the HW for a good grade. He has a great sense of dry and sarcastic humor which makes class interesting everyday. Recommended!

He's a great teacher.You will learn a lot,but he can be pretty harsh.I would take him again because he's very clear. No test surprises.You really have to have a thick skin,however.He can be insulting,but also funny.It was never a boring class.Make sure you turn your cell off before class!Trust me.And go to the lectures.

he is a pretty easy teacher u dont have to go to class. all you have to do is study the study guide and you are good you dont need to read the book he is a bit of an a$$ but if your not a baby then it wont bother u you need to study in order to do good 4 test thats it

this class is hard well at least for me but what do you expect from a stats class i got a B but i worked my hard for it its simple 4 test you can use a cheat sheet for 3 of them 10 online hw assignments (the hw assignments are hard) and 10 online quizes do the hw and quizes because they really help you on your grade alotttt take this class

He's a good professor. He goes over the concepts with way many examples. Yes, he insults people sometimes. He does that because people cannot answer simple questions, meaning that they weren't listening. So they probably deserved it. He encourages participation in class and he ensures that we understand the material.

Ive had him for 2 classes, both equally amusing. Hes very insulting, but hilarious. Hes very clear and gives lots of examples to help you understand. No suprises on his tests and the essay question are all memorization. go to lecture. theres no HW in econ 101 but there is weekly hw in 201. really easy class I would take him again

He has a hilariously sarcastic sense of humor. His lectures were very easy to understand, since he breaks down each concept and repeats important ideas many times. He does demand students be able to answer questions during lectures on the spot, so pay atttention. Only grades come from 3 tests.

He made it easy to understand the material and constantly repeats the important information. I actually learned a lot from him and enjoyed the class when I typically can't stand econ classes

Class was not hard. He constantly repeats material so it sticks to you. Does randomly pick students in class to answer questions so be prepared to come up with a decent answer or he will use his sarcastic humor against you. I rarely went to class and did well on the exams. Class is based on 3 exams worth 100 points each, Tip: Memorize his essay.

Super easy class. Grades are based off of 4 tests including the final. He can be a bit sarcastic if he calls on you and you are unable to answer his question so pay attention. He wrote the textbook so his lectures are almost verbatim from the text. Go to class, pay attention and review your notes before an exam and you'll get your A.

If you attend all his classes, the test will be understandable and straight to the point. He's great at explaining and the textbook questions really help! He likes to pick on people who sit in the back, so beware! Going to class is REALLY helpful.

My favorite class to go to. You dont need the textbook if you go to class. Repeats the important concepts and makes the class fun.

He's so hilarious, and dumbs down the information so everyone can understand it. The book isn't mandatory, but its good to have because of the practice problems. There's only 4 exams, that are super easy. Sit in the front and pay attention because he picks on people in the back!

TAKE THIS CLASS! It was SO easy! I didn't even buy the textbook and ended up with an 92%. There's no homework whatsoever and no quizzes. 4 tests for the whole semester. Since I didn't have the book, attendance was really important for me. But if you have the text book you don't even need to show up, he takes everything from it. Sarcastic but nice

One of the best teachers I've had this semester. He breaks everything down a moron could understand. You basically just have to go to class, take notes, and study a little for the tests (average four). He can be very sarcastic and pick on you if you don't know the material, but it isn't hard to pick up. By far the best econ101 teacher.

Take Gordon!! He doesn't waste any time with fluffing up the material, he keeps it real and won't try to trick you on the tests. He calls out people that don't pay attention in class (for their own benefit because why even go if you're not learning) and his humor makes class interesting. No homework or quizzes just 4 tests that are straight forward

This was my favorite class this semester. There is no homework and your entire grade is based off of four tests that are not cumulative. No finals or midterms. However, if you miss a test you will have to take a cumulative final along with the fourth test. The textbook is a must. Lectures are very clear and he is hilarious.

Easiest teacher for Econ there is. One 4 tests, they're not cumulative, and tests are just like practice problems in the book.

SUPER EASY CLASS! If you need to take Econ 101 take it with him! Only 4 tests and his textbook has all his lectures just follow along and take extra notes along the margins. HIGHLY recommend!

This guy is awesome. I would give him more than a 5 on clarity if I could. He explains everything so that 5 year olds can understand it so really get it stuck in our brains. If you don't understand something, he'll go over it again until you do. Entertaining to the point that sometimes you forget it's Econ. Very logical and on students' side.

BEST TEACHER EVER, honestly one of my favorite professors at SDSU. He makes lectures fun and interesting has a funny, sarcastic humor. No homework, no quizzes only like 4 tests. The book was written by him so his tests are literally straight from the book. EASY EASY EASY A!!!!

Would take again, he is the man

Easy class. 4 MC tests, 100 points each. No homework or quizzes. The practice tests in the book are essentially the same as the actual tests. Lectures are not mandatory but I recommend going anyway. He makes the material very easy to understand.

Only four tests, no homework. Gordon wrote his own textbook so the practice tests inside are almost the same as the actual test. I recommend going to class because he is very good at clarifying the material even though he's quite rude. Expect to get called on randomly in class.

This is a very unstructured class. Entire grade based off of 4 test scores. Show up to class, the textbook is ultimately unnecessary and he writes exactly what you should take notes on on the board. Usually bigger classes try to sit in the front you will do much better. No homework, no quizzes, no participation grade. Very attainable A

4 Tests. No Homework. Go to class, pay attention for the lecture and that's it. Study hard because each test is 25% of grade. He is the man, tests were straight forward but definitely study hard or else they will be very hard!

Definitely the best teacher to take for Econ102. He is pretty easy and is super clear with what he expects from you. If you go to class and take good notes then you will do well. His tests are exactly what he goes over in class and uses similar examples. 4 tests are your entire grade. He calls kids out in class a lot but overall a great teacher.

He doesn't take attendance or do any form of participation credit. Your grade is just based on 4 tests. He states things in the lecture that will be on the test word for word. Easiest class I've had for sure. Kinda intimidating but funny.

He is a great professor. Take his class. He gives 4 test that are based on his lectures. If you want to pass, JUST GO TO CLASS. Attendance isn't mandatory but if you don't go, you will not do well on the exams. He's funny and will pick on students who aren't paying attention.

I loved having Professor Gordon! His lectures are exactly like the tests, and I barely opened up the textbook during the semester. He does call on people in class, and some people get offended by comments that he says. I didn't care though because I learned a good amount in his class.

Your grade is entirely based off of four tests. Unless you attend class, you will have hard time passing the exams. Does not give out any homework but make sure you listen to his lectures carefully.

Entire course graded by four tests, but tests are based entirely on lecture material. No homework, no quizzes, just lectures and tests. Pay attention and take good notes in class! Only get book if want to read chapters for more clarification, otherwise you don't need it. Gordon has lots of office hours. Calls on people in class to answer questions.

Four tests in total. Pretty straight forward, based off lecture. I skipped this class to go to Disneyland multiple times. Really understand the lectures!! And if you miss make sure you're friends with people who take good notes.

Professor Gordon was incredible. This was the only class I truly enjoyed attending. He doesn't take attendance but I recommend going to class because the tests are word for word from his lectures. There are a total of 4 tests that make up your entire grade, and all are easy if you go over notes.

Gordon was a great professor. His lectures were interesting and straight to the point. Simply GO TO CLASS and you will pass. His 4 tests are based heavily on his lectures, so much so, that you don't even need the book. He does pick on students but it's usually those who are not paying attention. Awesome class. I would highly recommend.

Grade is determined by 4 tests. No homework for this class. If you attend lectures and pay attention you should do well on the exams, they come straight from lecture material and are thoroughly reviewed.

Gordon is a great prof. Its never fun to be called on in front of 100+ students, but this really forces you to pay attention so you don't look dumb. Grade is based on 4 tests, with content strictly from lectures (don't buy the book) so even though attendance isn't required, you need to know it for the tests. I got 3 As and a C+.

Gordon has probably one of the best teaching styles out of the professors I've had at state. His tests are word for word what he says in class, definitely do not need to buy or read the textbook. Your grade is purely the average of 4 tests which is intimidating but it is less work since there is no homework or quizzes either, just go to class.

Super manageable class that doesn't have to be difficult whatsoever as long as you show up, pay attention, & take well organized notes. He likes to call people out to answer questions if it looks like they're not paying attention so beware. Gordon breaks down the material so well & makes it very easy to understand & sets you up great for his tests!

Professor Gordon was a fantastic professor. He was clear with what we needed to know for the test, and he would make sure to reiterate important details multiple times throughout his lectures. Many students found him to be offensive with his right-winged comments, but as an economics teacher, he knows what conditions our economy thrives under.

He loves randomly calling out people during lectures and makes you feel dumb if you don't know the answer. But his lectures deliver everything you need to know on the exams and he is very clear on the material. No homework, only 4 tests that make up the entire grade. Didn't use the book once. Go to every lecture and pay attention, you'll be fine!

Gordon lets you know exactly what he wants on his exams. He does call out students to answer questions and makes fun of you if you don't get it right. However, he is a great lecturer and is engaging. Your entire grade is based on 4 exams(3/4 are easy). Just show up to lecture and take good notes. Do not get the book, we never used it.

I am the worst test taker, and I assure you this is one of the best professors to take. Don't listen to bad reviews. You have to show up to pass. Every thing taught in class is on his short/easy exams. STUDY the notes, PAY attention and you will easily pass. He uses examples in class on tests, and gives ten answers on the first exam and the final.

I really enjoyed Gordon as a professor. He seems like he does care about his students. He is a straight forward guy, he teaches to help you learn not be your best friend. He makes you work for a good grade, but just GO TO CLASS and you will be fine. Its only graded on 4 tests, but no homework at all!

This class was completely asynchronous, with a homework reading, assignment, and a few quizzes due each week Sunday night. It's easy to get a good grade because the quizzes can be taken an unlimited number of times and the homework also has multiple attempts. Tests are straightforward. I recommend!

His class was asynchronous, however he leaves clear instruction. And reading and matching quizzes were really helpful, you have unlimited chances to take the quizzes which boost your grade up. As long as you follow the instructions youll be fine.

His lectures are short and informative. As long as you go to class and take notes you'll pass the tests no problem. There is a bit of homework each week but you get 3 attempts on each question.

Professor Gordon is very intelligent and you can tell he knows what he's lecturing on. He sometimes randomly calls on students, but it helps everyone stay attentive during lectures. He cracks jokes that can be pretty funny, and he's overall a sweet and very traditional college professor!

homework is a normal amount, lectures are simple, overall good choice to choose

He assigns a manageable amount of homework, makes lectures really engaging, and if you go to class and take good notes, youll do well on the exams. Overall good teacher and solid choice for Econ 101.

Professor Gordon taught me so much in Econ101. A lot of times in math classes I have been guilty of just memorizing the material, but I truly felt that I learned so much about economics. The tests are all very attainable if you put in the time studying. He is also very helpful if you go to office hours.

All of the test material comes straight for the lecture notes. Just show up to class and take notes and you'll easily pass.

honestly, he's a great teacher to help you really understand the basics and know what you're doing. the way he calls on students is a little intimidating but it helps to pay attention, but as long as you show up and take notes you'll have all of the test material. also homework was easy

Overall he was a good teacher but he loves to call on kids randomly in class and pick on them if they don't know the answer so beware of that and pay attention in class. Overall I learned a lot in this class and if you go to office hours or ask for help he is very helpful. Homeworks are fairly easy but tests are kind of hard.

The HW and weekly quizzes are a big part of the grade and are really easy. Going to class isn't part of the grade but he gives all the information that is going to be on the tests during his lectures and if you take notes and study them you will do amazing in this class. He does call of people during class but its not that bad.

the four main tests are only based on the in class lectures, so show up to class and take note of what the professor is talking about. Hw and quizzes aren't that bad at all. Tests are easy if you study. Pay attention to the lectures and you'll be fine. The way he formats his lectures isn't ideal though since it's very disorganized.

There are a lot of mixed opinions about him, I liked him because the course came easy to me and because I liked his sense of humor. Some people aren't a big fan of him because he picks on people at random and econ can be a tough course. Class isn't hard if you show up and pay attention. Weekly homework and 4 tests throughout the semester.

It is MANDATORY that you come to class. He does not assign any homework and never posts anything online, so attending the lectures is crucial.

Very old school and stern professor. Lectures the whole time but gets you out early most days. The only grades all semester were four exams.

Before you read, ignore all other reviews because they are all based off of feeling instead actual qualitative reasoning. Great professor overall if you are on campus. Please attend lectures if you want to pass the class. Very easy class to take and to pass for credit if you are a business major or something of that sort. Purely a lecture based.

The class is based entirely on tests, no homework or anything else. As long as you attend lectures, the material is pretty easy to understand. I didn't study for any of the tests, just went to class and still got Bs on all of them. Professor Gordon is very good at explaining concepts and applying them to real life. He's also pretty funny.

Professor Gordon is a great professor who's lectures are very informing and clear. In order to get an A in this class, everything on the exam will be covered in lecture. Easy notes and lot's of time to get prepared for tests. Office hours were extremely helpful and he was always patient and answered any questions. Really cool guy and pretty funny.

If you are not a good test taker, this class is not for you, as the only things that go into the grade are the tests. Also, while attendance isn't mandatory, it is super important that you attend the lectures because he doesn't post any information online. That being said, I thought his lectures were good and informative.

grade is based on only four exams which is a bit scary, but most questions are WORD FOR WORD from the lectures. make sure to go to every class or have someone who can send you the notes, since nothing is posted online. he does call on people randomly, but honestly its not that serious, go to class and study before you should def pass!
