Comment:

The homeworks were a joke and attendance wasn't mandatory, but if you did attend class you'd get extra credit points. The exams were impossible and not even based off of in class lectures. 95% of the exam content came from video classes, so if you didn't watch them you were probably gonna fail the exam

This class sucks I dont recommend taking it. I took it for a breath class and the exams are extremely difficult. He makes this class harder than it needs to be. He gives a lot of opportunities for extra credit which is nice but the exams are impossible. Dont take this class.

the exams were so hard and he is so boring its hard to pay attention. you have to go to class because of clicker questions there's like 2 every class and they're graded. the lecture slides are posted but not all of them. he will not give extra credit even though the class is so difficult. way too hard for a breadth course dont do it.

So, the only good thing I can say about Jordan is his continuous "QUESTIONS!?" phrase used time again in class. Unfortunately, one of the exams was completely canceled hence leaving two exams for the semester. He weighed the exams equally even though the first exam was 80% of the course. He also refused to give extra credit to those who did it...

Awesome dude, pay attention and copy slides you'll be set, 1/5 of tests based on. readings, but I never did any. (Volunteer to pass out tests when you can). Tests not hard if you actually study notes. Exam 1 23%, Exam 2 33%, Final 33%, Clicker 10%

the class is easy, but if you dont stay on track its easy to fall behind. however, you can review everything a week before and do decent on the tests. they are taken at the testing center so you cant cheat. but he is super nice and super understanding and is willing to help you do better on tests.

Philosophy 100 with Jordan is a super easy and fair course. Definitely take it for a breadth. It can get slightly boring, but the material is really not hard. If you show up to class and put in minimal effort you will do well. Clicker questions/attendance count for 10%. He offers a lot of extra credit each week throughout the whole semester.

One of those professors who makes the experience of college worth it. The class isn't too difficult even for those who are uninterested, but there is also plenty of space for growth and conversation in the provided materials if one cares enough to learn. So care enough to learn and take his classes. You'll do yourself a huge favor.

Okay so this class was high key boring but it was pretty light. Only three tests, no finals. I studied the day of or the day before and got A's. Read to textbooks tho, he tests you on those. 1-2 graded clicker questions per class so go. He sends out about 10 homework aka extra credit assignments, each worth 1 extra point on the last test.

I took this class online and it was a good. You can get an A in this class, if you do all the lectures, readings, study guide, practice exam and extra credit. When watching the lectures, pay extra attention when Dr, Jordan says "Questions?", and "What's not Clear?". It is a indication of the content that you will see again while taking the exams.

Jeff is a great guy who definitely cares about his students and wants to help them. That being said some of his teaching techniques are questionable. He tries to explain ideas by writing normal sentences like math equations, or making pointless graphs. If you dont find the subject interesting i really do not recommend

Jordan's a funny, intelligent, and standup guy. He makes the topics very interesting and easy to understand. We have 3 exams. Homeworks are optional and count as extra credit on the last exam. Clickers count as easy points, so go to class. Everyone should have him at least once in their time at UD. I would recommend him to all. QUESTIONSSS!!!

It's a really boring class, he tries his best to make it interesting but one time that lead to a strange story about a kitten murder. He's an amazingly nice guy but the way he explains material is extremely confusing, I believe he tries to appeal to left brain, math oriented people but it doesn't really work. Great guy tho.

Dr. Jordan is a funny guy and tried to make the material interesting, which honestly it kind of was. Once you get how he teaches and how he words test questions, you should be fine. Two exams and one final plus 10% of your grade is clicker points. Do the readings and extra credit hw. Not really a hard breadth class as long as you put in effort

The material can be hard to understand but overall its an okay class. Grade is based on three exams and clicker points for attendance. He gives homework for extra credit. The exams aren't terrible but you have to pay attention in class to do well. slides aren't the best and I didn't really like his teaching style but it is good for a breadth course

Dr. Jordan is pretty great. In the beginning his lectures were a little confusing but you eventually understand how he speaks/writes. He's super funny and his tests are pretty straight-forward. The HW is optional but it counts are extra credit on the final. He also brings his dogs to the study sessions!! QUESTIONS?!?!?!?!

Super goofy nice guy. His powerpoints are all online but go to class because 10% of your grade is participation points for answering a clicker question. All the homework is optional but you get extra credit for doing them and they are super easy. He writes the textbook so if you read it and do his test prep its literally IMPOSSIBLE not to get an A.

He makes philosophy as fun as it can be (not that fun still, though). He gives lots of extra credit opportunities and the exams are relatively fair.
