Reviews of professor Jonathan Gordon

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
professor Gordon came prepared to lecture every class. Most times, they were extremely organized and clear. He uses a lot of analogies and examples to introduce new concepts. Assignments are a bit tricky, sometimes it feels like class has nothing to do with the assignment. textbook reading isn't required (I never opened it and got an A)

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Pretty chill and funny professor for the most part. Can always ask questions, and he is always down to talk a bit after class too! Assignments and labs were manageable, and grading was tricky at times, but he gave clear feedback. Definitely recommend his CMPU101 course!

Professor Gordon is a great professor who gives very interesting lectures. The classes I had him for involved writing lots of proofs and generally doing things that I personally find difficult and don't enjoy, but he does explain the topics well and the homework is great preparation for the tests. Overall a fair grader, he curves tests when needed.

Gordon is a great professor for com ling. he is very passionate about the material and has interesting enough slides with funny jokes in them. There were a fair amount of homework assignments (1 a week) that were sometimes pretty long with little instruction. But overall, he grades really fair and is so accessible if you have a question

CMPU 366 has the amount of workload you might expect from a 300-level CS class at Vassar. Assignments were great, prof. has revamped the course to include content about AI and LLMs beyond just buzzwords. We had a final group project that was almost half your course grade.

The textbook often made little sense to me, but when he explained the material in lecture, only then did I feel like I had a grasp on the concepts. His policy of doing the homeworks and then homework corrections helped me apply what we were learning. I know for a fact that it improved my grade. He's very nice and willing to help students!
