highlight of the lectures are the video clips! drops your lowest test score which is always a plus!
Good teacher easy had him for psy 105, psy 110, psy 341 going to take his abnormal psychology class over the summer psy 311. Recomend him to all.

He's really funny! His slides are great and easy to remember. He shows movies as examples. He drops the lowest test score. You get to do extra credit experiments. I did really well (Like A well).
Uber-Easy. and hilarious.
Very easy, and fun!
Very fun, the slides are great, make sure you print out the notes!
good deal
What could be better than a bald-headed professor, in a sweater vest, showing movie clips, while teaching you about grey matter? Good stuff!
gordon is friendly, funny, exams are simple, and there's always a lot of bonus questions based on class video clips
Gordon's a great professor I took him for 105 and I'l take him again.
A good, entertaining teacher. PAy attention to lecture, and its an easy B. Read the book as well and its an A. Lab is a waste it seems...
awesome! so fun! tests are based off power-point presentations; ill take him again
Super Professor. Only wished that he taught more classes then 105 and 110. Very easy class if you pay attention and attend class
Okay, very easy class. If you pay attention to the slides whether online or not then its all good and it is an easy A.
very great teacher. makes coming to class enjoyable! Gave out bonus points to people who showed up to a class when over half the seats where empty. easy A
This class is not easy..the tests are worded funny and confusing. Class isnt helpful b/c all he does is read off of his slides...
took the gen ed psych with him. personally couldn't stand to hear his lectures listened to portable cd player through all of them. went to lab which gives you all the info you need for his test. got a b and never heard a word his lectures after day 1.
this class is an easy A if you read the book and notes, which are posted on his website. Or you can go to the lectures, which are fun bc he shows movie and commercial clips. He makes things fun and gives extra credit for attendance!
A Fun GUY To learn from
great teacher and learned a lot! must be ready to study for this gen ed though! definitely recommend!
The easiest class I've taken. All you need to do is look over the notes, which you can print off the web. He's hillarious too. Highly recommended!
This professor is great! Not only is he a good professor and knows his stuff...hes down right hilarious! From sex to the mind every aspect in his class is meaningful or hilarious! Take him hes the best!
I love Dr. Gordon. He is the best professor at Wright State!
Extra Credit!
He is the best teacher at Wright State. His classes are interesting and fun! I love Dr. Gordon.
Awesome prof. Love him. I would suggest taking the lab on a wednesday, it really helps to clear things up and is right in time with the class. He is great and he makes a fool of himself to make us pay attention. IT WORKS! will take again!
He is a cool teacher, but it can get rather boring sometimes. You don't have to come to class as long as you study the notes and look at the slide show at home. You really don't need the book to pass the class. I never used the book and got B's.
He uses examples of real-life situations to explain all the material. That is incredubly helpful!
Very Fun! Love the video clips!
My favorite professor. Interesting and funny lectures and he gives you SO many bonus points. Easy A and its IMPOSSIBLE to fail. Most people don't even go to lecture and still get a good grade. Sweet Teacher.
Took him fall quarter. As long as you pay some attention to his lectures you'll get a good grade. His lectures are good because he has many stories and videos to show. Interseting porf.
Not as easy as everyone says BUT funny and interesting! I love the extra credit. Go to class, he gives more if you're there! The videos help! Material can be boring but take this class!
well...I don't know what is going on. Everytime I take a test I think I do really good. But when I check my grade I get horrible grades. I wish he would past test back out with the correct awnsers or somthing, I think someone steals my test.
Great Professor!! Easy class,take this class! Easy A. Plus, its fun
Great professor. Makes lectures interesting by adding video clips to help us understand topics, and the video clips are extra credit questions on the tests. Tests are easy, just study the notes offline, and go to SI test reviews.
the class can get really boring and there should be some type of study guide because the test questions always seem like they could be any of the answers given!
talks way too fast1
He is my favorite teacher! I loved being in his class bc he made it soo much more fun than it could've been, with the movie clips, and helpful with the notes and everything being online!!!
very easy but this guy talks super fast but makes up for it by posting everything online which is very helpful if you miss a lecture or miss a definiton that he recites during his lecture.
Never around to ask questions. You have to rely on TAs who know absolutly NOTHING. Gordon has a problem with staying on topic sometimes. However he is a funny man so class isn't too terrible to go to.
He's very cool and funny.
His 110 has harder tests then 105 but I still managed to get an A by studying the notes from online. You don't have to go to class all that much.
way overrated. I e-mailed him, and he never responded
this is why i became a psy major!
Great class examples. Got to go to class and get notes offline.
Took Dr. Gordon for PSY 105...loved his teaching style so went back for 110. Funny and gives great examples to help you understand the material. Tests can be tough if you're not good with situational scenarios. One reason I'm becoming a Psych minor.
Went to about 2 classes and still got a B. Easy teacher, just read the book and got notes online. Easy A if you go to class. Labs are harder than the actual class.
Okay. Print out notes, study them, you will pass with no less than a B.
this teacher is a joke! he reads (unintelligibly from power point, and couldnt even show up on test days. most test questions are from the book. i only showed up for test days and still got a B. it was an easy class, but i taught myself!!
Pay attention to the movie clips, know the words in bold print from the text, and enjoy the class!
There is no doubt that Dr. Gordon rocks I've taken every class that Dr. Gordon teaches and never got bellow an A didn't have to study at all just showed up to lectures. Although it can get boring sometimes he is a fun guy to listen to.
An easy-going approach to this Gen-Ed class. Attendence is only a small part of the actual material- read the notes and do well in the labs and you should be ok. He also has a good sense of humor!
Great professor..loads of fun. I would recommend Gordon over any other professor at Wright State, regardless of the subject.
Awesome
Very good professor. Funny and very interesting. Makes you not want to miss a class period.
Gordon is a great teacher. The notes are printable off the internet, which is nice, so you dont have to get distracted during class to keep up with taking notes. The notes is the test. Go to the SI classes, very helpful!
i cant stay on top of things because he gives us so much work and then forget to put all the notes online. There is no way to remember the website where he post the notes either so make sure u keep up with everything.
Excellent teacher. All of his notes are on the internet. All tests all mulitple choice. He really likes his job and shows interesting movie clips to show psychology examples. Highly suggested.
Great lecuturer, very organized class layout. Highly recamend.
Dr Gordon is the coolest professor I have had so far at WS. I recommend him to anyone. Tests can be a little tricky sometimes, but go to class, and read over the notes a few times, you will do good.
He is an awsome teacher. He is very funny.
One of the worst professors at WSU. His notes are horribe and he rambles through things in class. I had to drop his class.
He's great...all notes are online. That's really helpful.
Ltes just say, I will not take a psych class unless he is teaching it! He makes psyc so interesting, and the only way you can fail it is if you don't study the notes. He is so exciting. Never a dull class. Knows his stuff. DON'T TAKE ANYONE ELSE FOR PSYCHOLOGY!!!!!!!BEST ADVICE!
Great professor and tests were a little hard, but if you study a lot you will do well. Also, READ THE BOOK it really helps!
Really easy class. Class is pretty much optional because all the notes are online. A's on tests are pretty easy if you just study the notes. Go to class if you want answers to the extra credit on his tests though. Easy A.
I loved Dr. Gordon's 105 class. He was easy to understand and his lectures are actually interesting! Plus the notes are online so you don't even really need to go to class. Easy too!
I did not learn a single thing from Dr. Gordon. He spent class time making irrelevant jokes. If you read the book, there was no need to go to his class. Classes were very boring. Tests were a joke. They wre way too easy.
Very easy class. lecture is pointless, all the notes are online. Lab is the hardest part of this class. Lots of extra credit and he drops the lowest test grade.
very easy class no need for lecture notes online but if oyu do go he drops little exam hints still got a B with very very little study and class time
He is a great teacher makes everything interesting, and really makes you enjoy it!! He has movie clips in his note, to help you see examples!! You really have to study for his test, but a lot of extra credit!!!!!
GREAT PROFESSOR! Very entertaining, even when the material is lame. Gave bonus points for ridiculous stuff (ex: he would put the trash can on one side of the room and if he could get his Pepsi bottle in from the other side of the room, whoever attended class that day got bonus points). Great guy.
Great prof! Great class! Material can be boring at times, but Dr. Gordon makes lecture interesting! Easy tests, lots of extra credit opportunities! Definitely take this class if you have the chance!
this guy is awesome. his lectures are hilarious, and the material is fairly easy. this was my favorite class last quarter.
This class was a lot of fun. Doctor Gordon gave great examples to help you understand the material. He makes lectures intersting, and is very funny.
Dr. Gordon is such a nice and hilarious guy. He made lectures fun and interesting. I learned lots. He puts notes online and his tests are pretty easy. You will have fun and do well if you take a class with Dr. Gordon.
Keeps it entertaining... and is very informative.
Wonderful teacher, Wonderful class! Dr. Gordon kept the class interesting by relating the material to life situations. He also cracked jokes alot. I recieved an A and I learned alot.
very easy class!! he puts all note online, his exams aren't that hard as long as you study, and he tries to keep everyone awake and interested. quite a goofy man as well!
His class is big at first, but usually half hte class shows up later in the quarter. His notes are clear and his lectures are not boring. His test are cake if you pay attention and plus doing all the extra labs to get hte bonus points.....
Very easy class, lecture notes are online. It's hard not to get an A or B in his class.
I would advise you to fight for this one, he is a great teacher. You'll have fun in that class.
Very enjoyable teacher. I find it hard to understand how anyone could take this class and not pass -- that's not necessarily to say that Gordon is easy, but his explanations are very effective, and the video clips are entertaining while still pertaining to the subject matter. Highly recommended.
Class material well defined. Occassionally fell behind and scrambled to catch up before exams. TONS of x-tra credit offered to where anyone can get an A. Enjoyable teaching style. Supplements with movies, commercials, slides, etc... Highly recommend.
GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT Prof. One of the best. Makes the information interesting and simple. Take him, go to class, pay attention, and you'll get an A. Don't need to study if you just listen to him because you won't forget it.
Dr. Gordon is a great prof. He understood the fears first time freshmen go through. However, take notes, read your book, and you will do well. Always made me laugh.
Excellent professor. Easy class - be sure to get the outlines from the internet. Offers several bonus questions on each exam.
Good proffesor. I don't think I'd call his tests cake but if you simply study the notes you will do well. Plus...he drops the lostest test grade!
He is very in depth with his explanations. I really enjoy his classes.
I loved taking his class!!!he's one of the best teachers I ever had. He gives a lot of examples at the lectures. He also gives extra credit questions on the exam to help you out. I recommend anyone to take his class!!!It's not hard if you get the notes and study.
This class was marvelous!! I showed up to class every M,W,F for the first 2 tests, but then stopped going and got an A! All you have to do is watch the powerpoint on his website and look at the outline and you will do well on the tests!
the teaching.... was ok... he just needs to approve the way he gives his notes because he dont make anything clear whatsoever.... and when he asking during the exams he brings out something he never covered...... if he improve that then his class would be more loved
Not only were both classes taught effectively but they were also fun. The tests were easy and he offered a lot of extra credit. If you have the opportunity to take Gordon then do so... you won't regret it.
the kind of guy you like rather than respect
I learned more in this class than any other of my psych major classes. I actually looked forward to lectures. He told you exactly what you needed to do to pass the class. Put some real effort into the case study paper, and you'll do fine.
Best psych. prof. i've ever had. i loved his classes, i wish he taught more of them. he gives great examples and he makes everything very easy to understand. i highly recommend his classes!
I actually took this class twice so as to improve my grade after slacking off on the experiments the first time. The class requires a lot, but it's easy if you stay on top of things. Gordon's lectures and slides are not original, and he doesn't deviate fro
Dr. Gordon is awesome. Fun, interesting and extremely helpful. Don't think twice about choosing him as a teacher.
He is cool.
Dr. Gordon is a very outgoing professor. He makes class both fun and interesting. I would rate his class a ten.
He's awesome. I thought he was hillarious!! He makes the class fun to go to and even though he lectures a lot he doesnt do it in an annoying or boring way. He adds a lot of humor to his lectures and shows many video clips that are funny too.
Gordon makes his lectures funny so that we wont be too overwhelmed. He explains most of his materials and compares them with things we often use today. His class is a fun learning experience. I recommend him if taking Psychology classes. Oh, he also drops your lowest test grade!!!He is a great teacher who makes a different on his students future!
Dr. Gordon makes psych a tolerable subject. The tests are hard, but if you study you can deffinitely get an A. Easy to blow off the class...but highly recommended that you go...gives bonus!!
Dr. Gordon is very animated during lectures. he uses lots of videos and movies to back up te readig. I really never read any of the books, but I did go to class. He is definitely a great professor. Take all of his classes if possible.
To teach a class with over 450 students in it he does a heck of a job to keep us all interested and entertained.
He is good but goes really fast.
Dr. Gordon is very interesting. He actually makes Psy interesting and easy to understand. He is also very funny. I defiantly recommend him you will find him to be very crazy (in a good way.
likes toshow movies (that's where all the EC ?s come from)
Awesome teacher!! He shows clips from recent movies and ad campaigns that correlate to the material he teachers, making it a lot easier to remember and actually learn the information.
he is relly cool, i like him as a teacher
Very funny professor. Enjoyed the class so much, I'm taking psy 110 now too!
Dr.Gordin likes to read directly from the powerpoint presentation, that he puts on the internet for you to print off. Why bother going to class except for seeing the movie clips. All he really does it reads, not teach.
Great guy! I thought this class was good. Dr. Gordon was a good teacher. If you listened in his lectures you could def. get an A. I thought a lot of his films were well related and made it fun.
Notes online are awesome.
He's entertaining, but the class is HUGE, so he's not really helpful. However, there are plenty of other options (Lab TA, his TA, and the SI instructor). Extra credit is always available. All presentations are on-line. He drops your lowest exam score, so I didn't even have to take the final and still got an A! Definitely recommend this class!
Class wasn't easy, but it was possible to get a good grade with extra credit. The SI classes are very helpful.
Didn't read any notes and just went to class and I still ended up with an A overall
Awesome teacher! Also very funny.
very funny he uses movies and video clips in his power points and makes the class interesting. you don't fall asleep in his class
very kind and funny
This teacher moves through his slides too fast. Although he uses movies and clips to make the class fun it still gets a bad rating from me. I think that he is an intelligent man he just doesn't know how to teach a class that big.
Love professor Gordon! Hes not only a great prof but also makes the subject fun.
Funny teacher, he has a very weird voice when hes lecturing. Sometimes he sorta sounds like a white Bill Cosby.
He doesn't khow how to teach. But he gives u alot of extra credits that u can end up with an A. His TAs are extremly unorganized. They lost one of my tests and lost 3 of my essays and i had to email them 2 times to finally find them. keep proof of everything in this class cause they always make mistakes. do all the work 'n u'll get A.
Lectures/presentations are all posted on-line, so you can miss class and still be okay... But he always gives extra helpful hints about the exams during lecture so it's beneficial to show up. WI papers are not too bad... Recommend taking this class if you need a WI credit!
I have had Dr. Gordon twice now and I think he is excellent. His slides and films really help me remember his lectures. He gives extra credit to help ya out too. As long as you study his slides, there is no way you can fail his tests.
He is one of the most outgoing teachers I know......and its a class i actually love going to.
Dr. Gordon is the bomb! I loved this class. He is an awesome prof. He made the material easy to remember and fun to learn. I am going to take his class as much as I can.
I HATED/DREADED this class. Dr. Gordon is cool but he is a HORRIBLE teacher and his jokes are as HORRIBLE as he is!!! As far as understanding how to do experiments and research papers for extra credit, he was NO help at ALL! I had to ask people that already had his class how to do them. I just didnt like his teaching at all. I wouldnt recommend him
No Comments
Very good teacher.
Excellant teacher. Very nice, very very funny. In the class I had, he didnt require you to be there, but most attended anyway, even if they didnt need to take the last exam. He's that good, interesting, fun. Definetly take him. Highly reccomend!!
I really enjoyed Dr. Gordon's class. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I took him for PSY105 and 110 and I would definitely recommend him to anyone taking a psych class. Easy A, just read his online notes and take advantage of the extra credit!!! you don't really need the book...
went to a total of 8 classes in thwo quarters- 1st day and first 3 tests each quarter and got an easy A. dont need to go to class and can drop the final. EASIEST CLASSES IVE EVER TAKEN
Awesome, entertaining teacher. Goes a little fast on the notes, but completely explains everything. I recommend taking him :)
easy A. study notes and you'll be fine for the tests. the papers are really easy too, you basically copy the info from the book.
Make sure you study notes, or you wont do so well. But Gordy is by far the best prof. i've had at WSU. He's hilarious, and although you dont need to go to class, he makes you want to be there.
Gordon is very affective at teaching this course. Attending class is a must to get a decent grade, but he's very entertaining. He says what type of question will be on the exam and uses movie clips and cartoons as examples. Take Gordon ; )
I love Gordon He is Hilarious and a great teacher!
Great Teacher. I'll try to take his other class if I have time.
funny and slide shows are good
Very funny and enjoyable lecture.
Gordon is a very effective speaker. I like his teaching techniques. He makes his lectures more enjoyable by incorporating movie clips and examples in his slides. Even though he is a great teacher, still take notes, study for the exams, and be prepared.
He was an excellent teacher. The class is an easy A as long as you go to class and pay attention.
He was so funny. I hope I can get into his 110 class this spring
Excellent professor! The class is easy, but you learn a lot. His lectures are enjoyable. He also provides ample extra credit. If you pay attention and do not skip, this class is incredibly easy. Ironically, I found the lab quizzes to be harder than the tests.
I went to class maybe twice and then for exams...his exams aren't hard but not easy either...i pulled off B's without attending, so if you go, you could def. get A's. def. go to labs, thats 20% of your grade. Try to schedule a class time where u'll want to go. I'm a commuter and didnt want to wait 2 hours for a 50 min. class. He's enjoyable though
Easy Class!!!! take if u can. writing intensive part is annoying but easy and u get bonus points for doing them. just show up to class and read notes u will do great. Test questions can get a little tricky.
Very easy to understand good informative class
Very good teacher. His lectures were the most interesting of any course I've taken thus far. Offers a lot of extra credit and easy points so any effort you give should result in at least a B.
A very fun professor. He is good at what he does, and does a good job giving examples. Going to class will definitely help for your exams. Gives lots of opportunities for bonus' and exams are easy. A great professor and overall good class.
Didnt really study and did average because of his lecture
Easiest class I've ever taken. You really don't even have to show up. Just go to your labs and maybe do some reading if you feel behind!
Very easy class. By far the most interesting lectures I have ever attended. Good sense of humor and uses a lot of funny video clips to show examples. Easy tests. Don't buy text book, you won't use it...
he makes learning so much fun, he brings real life examples to the classroom to make things easier to understand, and he is laid back
He is awesome! He's funny. He shows video clips and tells real-life stories related to the topic, so it's easy to get. He gives out a lot of extra credit points. Take him if you can (unfortuneately, everyone wants him so he can be hard to get).
he gives alot of extra credit, and he shows video clips in the calss and give 7 quastions for an extra credit .. also, there are other things you can do to get extra cridt .. easy .. take his class ..
By far the best professor at Wright State. It's obvious he wants his students to succeed. He makes you want to come to class, and his test are very easy as well.
any class he teaches take it!!!!! very helpful and easy to understand.
I LOVE THIS GUY! Seriously, he's awesome! If you get a chance to take any class of his, do so! Very knowledgeable, funny, and teaches very well. ATTEND CLASS! It helps and you will actually learn something! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
he is a good prof.!!
amazing professor! hilarious. you can definetly get by without attending class regularly but i would highly reccomend attending. gordon is hilarious and makes the subject matter interesting. also very accesible and knowledgable about his area.
Gordon Is the Best teacher at WSU. Take him, its not hard, however, this qtr getting certain credit for Exp's were very hard. But its not his fault.
Excellent professor class very easy and extremely helpful
Excellent, knows how to keep it interesting, gives extra credit on tests and experiments, loved his class!
Interesting class. Shows good movie clips in his lectures.
keys to getting an A - read the chapters, go to class, study 30 mins per night and about 2 hrs before the exam.
Dr. Gordon is very enthusiastic about his field and is a very fair Prof. Although he was often 10 or more minutes late to class his lectures were always worth waiting for. Very easy exams with 5+ bonus questions about video clips shown in class. My only real complaint about this class was Gordon's TA.
Great Professor & easy A!
Prof Gordon is a really funny guy and really enjoys what he teaches. I would definitely take him if you have the opportunity. Always extra credit opportunities if you need them as well.
FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!! such a sweetheart and soooo helpful!! TAKE HIM!!*uses examples and you just cant fail the class! hes hilarious!
easy class and a great teacher. pay attention in class. lots of extra credit oppurtunites about videos he shows in class. def pays to go to class for those!
He is an awesome teacher!!! I decided to become a Psychology minor to have the opportunity to take more of his classes! Love love love him!!!
Very easy to take. Just show up to your classes. And because he is a psychologist, he understands on the work and school level.
Gordon rocks! He is by far my favorite professor!
AWESOME instructor - He really opened my eyes to abnormal psychology. I'm definitely going to take him again. His tests are from his PowerPoint slides & from the text. He tries to add humor so the class isn't boring. He shows movie clips for visualization.
OMG..GREAT PROFESSOR! Makes the class interesting,fun and uses humor to lighten everyone up. I've taken him for PSY 105,110,& 311 and I would still take him for any other PSY class. If you have the chance to take him...DO!! His test come from his PowerPoints and his movie clips are funny. Follow those, and you're going to be fine!
Makes class entertaining
He's one of the best so far
He is the best!! just go to class and you will be fine! No need to read the book he puts his powerpoints online which are the notes! TAKE HIM!
His class is easy, and the labs werent too bad, but i thought his actual class was somewhat boring. He is friendly and loud which makes it cool. QOTSA
Very Good and funny. Didnt play around told us what we needed to know. Cant wait to talk his abnormal psy class.
great teacher! makes lectures interesting and funny. take his class if you can!
he is such a great teacher! He gives great examples to help you understand the subject better. i would highly recommend him!
Awesome Professor. The best i've had yet. Easy to understand, he keeps your attention and you will remember what he teaches. dances when cell phones ring. book not really needed, he posts powerpoints and notes online. easy tests. Take him and its a breeze.
Super easy class. Going to class isnt necessary just look over the notes and the reading before test days and youll do fine. The only reason to go to class is to get the extra credit questions.
He is a very nice teacher. He is helpful, and willing to work with you....Highly recommend for all his cl assess......
Great Teacher
Awesome professor. One of the best I have had yet. The book is not necessary for the class because all notes and study questions for the test are posted online. You only need to go to class to get the extra credit questions for the test. He shows great movie clips and keeps class interesting. Loved him as a professor! Recommend him to anyone.
had for 105 & 110. best teacher I've had. Made me want to minor in psych. take him as much as you can! (105, 110, 341)
Very helpful and funny. By going to class you don't need the textbook.
dont buy book, go to s.i, do the extra experiments and other bonus, study at least before tests and you should get an A.
His upper level classes require a LOT of oral presentations. Is Abnormal did...I'd rather not, he is nice and fair but I'd rather hear him talk instead of all of us
Super easy. Lectures are extremely relaxed and he makes things interesting with lots of movie clips and other interactive examples.
Best PSYCH 105 teacher in the world. Will tell you exactly what you need to know in class before tests and gives you enormous amounts of extra credit. However, people still failed because they did not study. Even though its easy studying is necessary!
Always a pleasure with Gordon. I'm now planning on minoring in PSY, I hope he plans to teach higher level PSY classes.
Made the class entertaining. I failed one test for sure and maybe the last but I came out with a B. But I attended like every SI session and did some extra experiments.
He is a great teacher. really keeps your attention i didnt have to go to class but i found myself wanting to go to class!
Gordon is simply AMAZING! His class is fun and he is highly entertaining. I had him early in the morning but he kept me awake and still paying attention. He tells you exactly what you need to know and makes the subject easy to understand. I would recomend him to anyone taking psychology!
hes really cool but the class can get kinda boring. go to the SIs! they not only help but you get extra credit for going. He puts all the notes on power point and just goes over them in class so you dont really have to go to class unless you want the bonus questions which are easy credit so i advise you to go to class and at least kinda listen
very funny
Gordon is GREAT! I had him for 105 and 311, definetly the best psych professor I've had, I wish he taught more sections...
Dr. Gordon is a WONDERFUL professor! He knows his material and makes class more enjoyable. I look forward to his class every day!
Great professor, if you dont get an A in his class, your not trying. Perfect professor for the subject. I will take him for my psy 311 class
Great Teacher. I recommend him to you all.
Very good professor, one that I would recommend to anyone. Very clear presentations, online notes, and a goofy personality were some of the many things I loved about his class. I don't like psycology, but Dr. G's attitude of teaching helped me grasp the topics with ease. His online notes followed the book, so the book isn't a waste of money. #1Prof
A very easy teacher and class. He has done this for a while and it shows. His expectations aren't too much. If you are looking for a good psych teacher take him!
love him
coolest professor ever. very easy and tells you everything thats on the exams, also gives out study guides. i would definitely take him over and over again!
Really interesting, easy, and fun! The labs are boring. But, if you're going to take psych, I deffinatly suggest taking Gordon, he's awesome!
GORDON IS THE MAN! Took him for 105, 110 & 311 so far. He is the reason I have decided to major in Psychology. Simply a great professor. Take him, you won't regret it.
very interesting professor i would recommend him to everyone he's a nice guy that keeps his students interested in his class
Woot woot! Gordon's the man!
i took him my first quarter and he was super fun super easy for any who tries he is the man!
very very easy. test are ok the power point is there so if you are IN CLASS you know what to study. do the experiments and go to labs and its all good
Dr. Gordon is the man!! He makes this class so much fun! He gives you a study guide & a practice exam for each test. He throws in bonus questions on the test so you can get a good grade. He shows funny clips from movies & they usually show up on the test, so come to class! You will love Dr. G.!!!!
Dr. Gordon is the best teacher at wright state...I took his Phyc. 105 and 341 and i got an A on both classes....You don't have to go to class..but i only go cause i like his lectures
i love this class just make sure you look over slides and old test u shall be great
Great Professor, enjoyed every minute of his class, gives lots of extra credit opportunities. EASY A
He's alright. Everything is online except for the massive comprehensive final exam.
Good but you must do the reading or mastery quizzes! I Suggest to go to class and the LABS!!! GREAT TEACHER not a slide by class though!
Gordon is the best!
He's great! He's fun and keeps you interested. He knows how to relate the material to the students. I barely studied and got an A. I studied for an hour right before the final and I did fine. Go to classes if you can. Even though it's all online, it's good to hear it all twice and easier to memorize if you attend lecture.
His class was really fun he made you want to learn the material the work wasn't to hard all of the quizzes that you took online related to the things that he discussed in class i recommend his class to anyone that has to take psychology.
Probably the easiest course I'll ever take in college! Very funny and easygoing, easy to listen to him lecture. Constantly uses videos to illustrate concepts. Tests/comprehensive final weren't that hard.
The class was like a death march. He reads the powerpoint slides. If you have a pulse, you should get an A.
Gordon is such a great professor. He's knowledgable and his lectures are interesting and very easy to follow. Wright State's lucky to have him!
Gordon is awesome..his lectures are interesting, and he tells funny stories that are sometimes used for bonus questions on the exams. he shows a lot of videos in his classes that are also used as bonus questions so you should go to the classes. he's really great though!!
This class was excellent as long as you do not procrastinate. All the quizzes are online and the professor is really funny!
Gordon is a great professor. He is helpful and answers any questions if you have them. He tries his his best to keep class interesting. Also, attendance is optional and well I never went to class and still pulled an A. Buy the Hard copy of the book because it helps tremendously when taking the online open book tests.
Easy to understand
I never went to class and got an A. He is so easy and lets you take your exam up to 5 times, which is so helpful. I definitely recommend him!
Funny guy. Lectures not mandatory or essential. You should go, but not always. All tests but final open book/internet. Gives you 5 attempts on tests. Lots of extra credit. I would have had to try to fail to fail.Interesting if you're interested, decent if you're not.Very easy class, could be more interesting. Good prof. Makes us laugh.
Dr. Gordon is definitely not my favorite teacher. I don't think he's funny at all. His lectures are really boring so I stopped going early on, but the class is the easiest class you'll ever take. You don't need to go to class to do well, just read the book and the online tests will be a breeze, plus there's a ton of extra credit possible.
Dont take him if you want to learn anything. However, do take him if you want an easy A and are not afraid to use google to cheat on all of your tests.
I did not enjoy this class. It's an easy A, but he definitely thinks he's hilarious when he's not. All of his jokes are recycled, doesn't really seem that interested in the students at all. Make sure you do the homework, extra credit and labs, and you'll do fine.
Class is easy. But no thanks to his teaching. Tests are all online just google search all the questions.
Practically everything you need for the class is online, but his lectures are worth going to in my opinion. He also uses information that was discussed in class for the extra credit portion on the exams. The class is fairly easy and the professor is awesome! I wish all professors were like him.
Unlike 1010, his tests are in class on a scantron, not online, so there is no way for you to cheat. Attendence is not mandatory, but he does give out extra credit if the class is less than half full as well as possible test questions. He posts all of the powerpoints online, and I would say read everything before the tests. Start the paper early!
LOVED HIM !! i think he is so funny. his class is extremely funny, and his tests are super easy. everything is done online, and he tries to make things easy to understand !! i would take him for every psych class if i could.
The class was not boring. The teacher does try to interject humor into his lectures, and some are funny. He is very knowledgeable. He goes too fast, and does read right off his powerpoints, but also gives information from his experience as a clinician. I did not like the tests. You do not need the book, save your money.
Dr. Gordon is awesome and this class is definitely an easy A. Just go to class and study the lecture notes and practice exams. The book is not a necessity but can be helpful if confused about something. He gives out a lot of bonus points. There is a paper to write but it is easy and he gives you guidelines for it that make it simple. TAKE HIM!!!
Dr.Gordon really knows what he's talking about! He likes to relate in class discussions to his field experience, which helps get a better understanding. He posts powerpoints, but go to class or you won't do well on exams. He says things in class like "this will be an excellent exam bonus question...write this down..good thing you came to class!"
Robbie G is the man! His lectures are always very interesting. The videos he makes us watch are very entertaining. However you have to do a lab. He gives extra credit for showing up sometimes.
Dr. Gordon knows what he is talking about and gives you a lot of extra credit opportunities! He is awesome!!
Dr. Gordon is a great professor! His lectures were very interesting. Also gives extra credit. Just put the effort in and you should get an A. Would recommend him to anyone taking psych classes!
He teaches straight from him notes, which can be found online. Attendance isn't mandatory, but some of the questions on his exams do come from videos he shows in class.
Easily the least intelligent professor I've ever had. All of his classes are easy A's, but going to class is a waste of time. Grades were never posted until at least a week after the test. Frequently makes mistakes on the tests/grading the tests. Take him for the A, but don't expect to learn anything.
Slowly losing his touch. Took him this past semester and he decided to change assignment due dates two weeks into the semester leaving me with little opportunity to earn the extra credit I could have received had he kept the original due date. Spent the first 15 minutes of most lectures "figuring" out how to load lecture slides on his computer...
Professor Gordon is fantastic. Not much else to say. The lectures are always interesting, and they're helped by his incorporation of videos and the like.
Dr. Gordon is fantastic. He posts all of his material online so you dont have to go to class, but class is very enjoyable and worth going to, and it helps with extra credit on exams. Give lots of extra credit in general and is very laid back. Typically lets class out early and is not afraid to be himself and joke around in class.
Gordon is a funny guy. Taken him for both Abnormal and Lifespan Psych. He has issues with technology, but that just makes class more interesting! He posts his powerpoints online, and gives really good practice tests for exams. Study those and you'll do really well on the tests. There's also a paper for the class, but he gives a sample. Lots of EC.
Very unorganized, and always takes the first 20 minutes of class getting set up. If you read the chapters and lectures that he posts on your own, you'll be fine...a lot of class time was spent trying to guess movie stars from his time and dealing with technology malfunctions. Try and take advantage of the many extra credit opportunities.
I have had Gordon twice now. He is a very good teacher. If you miss his class, you will be fine. It is not mandatory. I have never used the textbook. He puts all of his notes on Pilot and there are study exams. There are 4 exams in the class and there is 1 paper. His lectures are informative if you go, but if you don't you will still pass.
Dr. Gordon is a good professor and very knowledgeable, but he is extremely unorganized. He would arrive to class late and took him a long time to set up his PowerPoints. The PowerPoints are extremely long with excessive information that you will not even be tested on. This is not the easiest class, but you'll survive.
Professor Gordon is a great teacher but could use some work. Always late to class and took 20 minutes trying to get his computer to work. Has slide shows that he posts online. Just reads them off in class and provides no extra info so absolutely no need to go to class. Easy A, would take again
Funny & energetic guy, he talked about some of his previous cases that relate to the current material. Will state in lecture what the bonus questions are and their answers. All questions multiple choice or matching. Write one 3-5 page paper about mental illness due at end of semester. Do not need book, just read slides he posts on pilot.
I have had three classes with Dr. Gordon. He is an amazing professor with a true passion for education. He was always available for discussion in the library starbucks and gave excellent answers to questions that were not in the book. If you're a psych major at Wright State definitely take his classes.
Hottest professor on campus!
Good class. Keeps it interesting. Doesn't care whether or not you attend class, but will give you an extra 25 bonus points for being at every class.
Very laid back guy, almost too laid back for my liking. Good professor, cares about students. Tests weren't very hard. Nice, easy going guy. Says to read the book, but it's not necessary if you attend lectures. Class didn't require a tremendous amount of work.
Gordon is too laid back and doesn't care about being on time. He starts class 10-15 mins late. He skips through slides without even going over them. He posts the slides online. Tests are set up opinionated. Don't waste your money buying the book on this class because I did not use it once. He grades papers easily.
Dr. Gordon is one of my favorite professors at WSU! I have an extremely large amount of respect for him, and I learned a lot from him. Attendance isn't mandatory, but he gives you a lot of answers to what will be on the test. The textbook isn't really required, but I recommend it. Four exams and one short paper.
He is an avid giver of extra credit. Awesome lectures that kept me interested in abnormal psychology. Strongly recommend him!!
He is one of absolute favorite professors!!! He is so funny attendance isnt mandatory, its too good to miss. He gives 5pts extra credit just for showing up the exams. 4 exams, 1 paper. Fair grader and he gives you answers during class to write down. I would definitely take it again.
Great Prof. Enjoyed his course and am taking another this fall. He's not a pushover but is flexible for students. Class is interesting. Definitely one of the best psych profs in the department. Should have taken abnormal with him. Learns every student's name.
Took the Clinical Psych Learning Collab this semester. First time the course was offered. It's basically a 'careers in clinical psych' course, but better than the one currently offered of the same name. Inspired me to apply for a doctoral program, and made me feel like it was a doable goal. MUST take if you are interested in clinical/counseling.
My favorite professor. I wish he taught more classes so i could take those too.
Abnormal psy capstone. Each student presented so he never really lectured and just interjected here and there. I felt like he wasn't teaching me anything. The quizzes were online and I used the book, never took notes in class. I only really knew my one topic and used that to write the final paper. way too easy for capstone. Lots of extra credit
I just had him this past summer and Dr. Gordon is a funny, laid back professor. Does not grade harshly. Class is made up of 6 online quizzes (that he insisted you need the book for but I could not find the answers in), research paper, powerpoint presentation, and attendance. He doesn't really teach anything, we just did our powerpoints all semester
I agree and disagree with the post on 08/19/2019. Yes, he is awesome, but he also does teach and he's a wonderful professor. The class is maingly consisted of student's presenting, but he helps as well (so he does teach a lot). He's a clinical psychologist so he definitely knows what he's talking about. You'll love his class. Dr. Gordon is awesome.
Although his lectures were entertaining, he was slow with grading a paper that was a good chunk of our grade and was also difficult to get a hold of. Highly unreliable if you actually want to do well and not feel like he's giving far less effort than you are. He doesn't seem to be able to navigate the pilot roster well either.
He was amazing. I absolutely loved him. I wish I took more of his classes. I was engaged in his lectures from start to finish and was upset when it was over.
Best professor Ive ever had. I would take any class with him. Abnormal psychology consist of 4 exams (online) and a film critique. The exams are difficult if you go to class and take notes. Very lecture heavy but its interesting. Gives extra credit if you go to every class. Make sure you write the notes before coming to class goes over notes fast
He is a good professor, overall. However, he is really difficult to reach. Further, I felt that he was very unorganized. At the end of the day, though, you do learn the material and can do well in the class with appropriate effort.
Dr. Gordon is fantastic and I look forward to learning more from him as I complete his Abnormal and Clinical Psych capstones. Academia needs more professors like him, he truly understands and encourages the collaborative learning environment.
Dr. Gordon is excellent!!! His lectures kept everyone awake the entire time, and he did take attendance. I will say, looking at his previous reviews. Yes, he doesn't go through the full slides and is very hard to reach. But I still loved taking his class, and he has his own private office, so he knows what he is talking about.
Professor Gordon's lectures were engaging and informative. While attendance is mandatory, he offers extra credit just for showing up. The exams can be challenging, but using resources like unstuckstudy ai and the provided study materials can really help. Overall, a great class to take.
I love this teacher, he is hilarious, funny, smart, and caring. Yes, there is a paper that exceeds 10 pages but its a lot of fun writing it and you get to do a PowerPoint slide of your choosing disorder but this is not as much work as the human sexuality capstone class. and he makes things fun in the classroom.
He is so awesome! He's really good at explaining the material and telling you what is going to be on the exam. He's also really funny so it makes class go by faster.
Dr. G is the man!
Dr. Gordon is literally a godsend and makes class actually interesting to attend. Attendance is mandatory but most of your work is done online at your own pace.
Ok it's a capstone, so that was the FATTEST presentation and paper of my life BUT I've never known so much about a disorder/series of disorders. However, this man REALLY preps for grad school and is so funny. Very, very enjoyable class; very excited to take the clinical psych capstone next sem!
Dr. G is one of the best professor I have ever had at Wright State. His lecture in Abnormal Psych were entertaining and interesting. He does attendance and does provides but its all taken at YOUR own pace and time. You do have a film project do but its a super fun project. I highly recommend him.
I took Dr. G for his abnormal and clinical capstone. I will admit both capstones required A LOT of school work, but the good news is you do it all at your own pace, and it's 100% worth it. Dr.G's lectures are interesting and entertaining; he also knows how to get everyone hooked on group discussions. He is hilarious!
Dr. G is the man!!! His classwork is pretty heavy loaded, but he lets you finish it all in your own pace and everything is due by the end of semester. You have four take home exams, and one big film project which is fun to do and you are great.
Robert is such a great guy! He is very funny and very intelligent in what he teaches. His lectures are usually pretty easy and he makes them pretty fun. Attendence is required as he puts it in the grade book. The assignments in this class were such a breeze! (Only 4 exams that you could take at any time over and over again and a film critique)
It was my first time having Dr. Gordon and I first I was a little scared. His class seemed like I had missed a stage, but after a little bit I started to understand. He does try to prepare students for graduate school. He was an amazing professor, helping out students during their presentation, and constantly making class fun! I highly recommend!
Robert was a very great professor!! Abnormal Psych is a lot of work, but however, everything is due by the end of semester you get it done all in your own pace. He has a film project in that class and it was a lot of fun.
Dr. G was a saving grace during my spring semester of college. Work is a heavy work load BUT you get it done all at your own pace! Also you have one film project to do that is due at the end of the semester but it was a fun project. Dr. G is also hilarious and kept us awake.
If you are taking Dr. G for your capstones, then do not worry,y you are in good hands!!
He honestly was a great professor and he's hilarious, so I always enjoyed being in his class.
Dr. Gordon class kept me awake and alive!!! He also had a great sense of humor and enjoyed getting to know his students. Had him for Abnormal psych and 2 capstones! The workload is HEAVY but it's all done at your own pace! In abnormal you have a film project to do and it's a lot of fun! Don't worry about a thing!
He is a very good professor, love his lectures, he knows what he's talking about. His exam is focused not on the material itself, but on understanding the material. There were also a lot of other ways how to get a better grade and retake the exams! I would take his class again in the future!
Dr. Gordon KNOWS what he is talking about when it comes to Psychology. He has through lectures that make sense. Attendance is mandatory but it is not hard to get the motivation to go to class because of how good and funny he manages to keep his lectures. As a Psychology undergrad, this class was a perfect start to my studies.
