Bio
Elizabeth Venable
Dr. Dan Jordan was one of the best and kindest teachers I had at USC. He did an excellent job teaching unpopular subject matter (budgeting) and motivating students. He also taught economics at a high theoretical level but with fun examples. I have a MA in dance theory and am finishing my MPA, and I would say he is an excellent performer and communicator in addition to understanding math/science. I also enjoyed his class because I enjoy math but also find it difficult to find good math teachers. I think this is an unusual talent.
