CollegeEasily one of the best professors at UCSB. I had him for ChE 132A and B, and going to his lectures was enough to master what could have been an extremely diffucult subject. He loves to help students outside of class, and personally I think his sense of humor is awesome. He should teach more ChE classes!!
BEST. PROFESSOR. EVER.
One of the best professors I have EVER had. Lectures were organized and engaging, even at 8am. Homework and Mathematica assignments were interesting, challenging, and relevant. Exams were fair, with lots of partial credit given. Professor Gordon was always willing to take the time to help students. I would DEFINITELY take another class with him.
The best professor of all time. His lectures are very useful, and he's very helpful outside of class. He's taught me more math in one class than all the math classes in college combined. The class itself, however, was tough. Consider it rite of passage for chemical engineering.
Clearly and quickly describes everything you need to know, without additional rubbish. Simplifies every problem to it's essential components. One of the few CH E professors that lecture without notes, and gets 99.9% of it right, 100% of the time. Very involved with even the most unresponsive class. Ask him any question anywhere you can find him.
Hail the best professor in all UCSB. He is loved by 99.99% of his students. There was a CH E car activity group dedicated to him called Team Gordon. People want him to teach every single one of our classes so that our brain is not a steady state process but actually accumulates so much knowledge. Again, Gordon, we all love you so much.
