I found her tone pretty dull and quiet. However, the class material is really interesting and she assigned readings on an wide variety of topics. The movies we watched in class were engaging and eye-opening. The class is generally easy but the midterm and final exams were very long and tiring.

Great Lecturer, she repeats and emphasizes things that are important to remember. If you do all the readings and listen in class, you will not have a hard time in this class. I highly recommend Gordon she is a great professor and has some good books out too.

I really enjoyed Professor Gordon's class. It was all very insightful but you are required to participate since you have to grade yourself on that. Sometimes her lectures are a little bit boring but there not too bad. There was 8 briefs to do but she was not a tough grader. Overall I enjoyed her class!

Professor Gordon has good stage presence and is very knowledgeable. The topics she chooses are very relevant and fun to discuss. There are no papers for her class and attendance is not mandatory, but you should go because she says important things for the midterm and final. Midterm and final consist of short answer, t/f, multiple choice and essays

I entered SOC 1 very confused because her lectures are sometimes all over the place. The readings really help so make sure to go over the reading questions and key concepts often. I rewrote everything because there would be a new topic every single week which can be difficult to remember during the exam. Overall, I left the class more educated!

A lot of reading, but it is pretty interesting. Gordon is ok, a little dull but not bad. Very political. Tests are long and a bit of a pain but the quizzes are easy.

Professor Gordon makes lectures really clear. There were a lot of weekly readings, but they are not really necessary. There are weekly quizzes on Thursdays but are based on movies and very easy. Both the midterm and final were free response with an essay question. The class can be boring at times, but I would definitely recommend it.

Professor Gordon and this class are what made me want to double major in sociology. Her lectures were super clear and easy to understand while still being interesting and prompting discussion. Some of the readings were super dense but not completely necessary. I really loved this class and I think its a good class for first-years.

This class is average in the sense of how clear the professor is. She rambles just a bit but manages to stay on top of it, which I appreciate. She can have angry fits randomly. The course itself requires some writing papers (during the midterm and the final in the class) and the content is very introductory, so its not too complex.

Lectures got boring sometimes, but the material was very interesting. Professor Gordon taught material that was relevant which helped students understand it better. Just do your work and you'll pass. The final and midterm required a lot of writing though.

The way professor Gordon addresses sociology topics was clear and concise. She refers back to homework reading in the lecture so as long as you do ALL of the reading, this class is a piece of cake.

Remember to go to the lecture for film questions. Films can be a little hard sometimes for non-native students. A wide range of great topics she chooses to talk about. Very critical perspectives. Heavy readings and heavy memorization for tests. I did not read most readings, but you will have to know the key concepts and read over her summarization*
