Nice guy but dull lecturer and hard to follow sometimes, especially bc he passes through his slides quickly. Not inherently difficult material, but sometimes very dense.

Great guy. Excellent teacher. Really loves what he does and it's really cool the way students are kept engaged in the frequent class discussions. He provides printed handouts to follow along but they are online too. Lecture covers them and adds a bit to em so it's worth it to show up to class. I found the material very easy and enjoyable. 10/10.

Love this class, not only because this is my major. The project is stressful but every other aspect of that class is really easy-going. The professor is such a sweet man. If I could, I would take this class again!

Probably the easiest Phonetics teacher: 3 MC quizzes, production test and project (all easy); 2 quizzes (the hardest part). You learn the IPA and how to produce, but not much else from the book. Not complaining though as what he does teach, he teaches well. He is also very helpful outside of class. Do the readings for yourself, not the class. GREAT

Very friendly. Willing to help outside of class. You can learn a lot from him in office hours if you are interested in his field of study. Definitely a great professor to talk to! I wish I could've taken more of his classes! Tests are based on Notes and definitions from book. Project was do-able; just don't procrastinate!

This is a fun class. Gordon was really funny and helpful whenever there were questions. The book is not necessary as long as you go to lecture. He gives you the notes in class and the test problems are exactly like the homework assignments. Section was absolutely useless, but attendance was still required.
