Reviews of professor David Gordon

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I actually had professor Gordon for POLI 160A. As a lecturer, he was pretty good, though boring at points. Though this was probably because they were not in person lectures. I appreciated how structured and consistent the class was. There was only 4 total grades in the book the entire quarter: participation and 3 essays. Pretty easy

Fantastic professor. He explains difficult concepts with exceptional clarity. He's a wonderful orator, gives insightful lectures, and cares deeply about the subjects he teaches. I wish I wasn't graduating so that I could take another course with him.

David is a good professor, and very flexible with the needs of students. I didn't feel like his class really met what a writing elements would be expected to have, but it was fun and I liked his prompts.

Prof Gordon is a nice guy and I learned a lot in his Poli 174 class. His grading is straightforward and not harsh, and he didnt assign very much work at all. I would definitely take one of his classes again. Although he was a bit inaccessible at times, he expressed that he was dealing with health issues so I cant blame him.

David is a really nice and intelligent guy. His class is pretty repetitive, you spend each one looking over your class's essays and correcting the grammar. All you have to do, besides the small projects, is write a 500-word essay biweekly. Pretty easy class (no finals or midterm) and a nice guy, he will appreciate you if you read the readings.
