Reviews of professor Audra Goodnight

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. G was a great professor who sparked many interesting ethical debates and discussions. Readings are not required, but it helps if you do them. Only graded on 2-3 short papers + a midterm exam + final paper. Definitely be prepared to write well, as she can be picky with essay grading. Overall, great professor!

Dr. Goodnight is truly one of my favorite professors I've had so far at Villanova. She is super caring, flexible, and approachable. The class is very manageable - usually 2-3 short papers followed by a midterm and a final. I would 100% take her again for another class if I could!!

Grade based on 3 assignments each graded out of very few points. One out of 10, another of a 25, and a final. Went to office hours 3x for help, felt that she didn't care. Class average on a paper was an 80. She told me I'm a great writer but gave me an 80 on a paper. I know I and my classmates can write, so she was off. Avoid even if good writer.

Very sweet and caring teacher. Lots of readings and class discussions, but the class is very chill. Heavy participation grade, but there are easy ways to earn it and she'll love you if you go to office hours. Sometimes takes off little points for no reason, but good grades aren't impossible to get.

Wonderful professor who cares about students and her work. Assignments are straightforward. One easy midterm exam and an essay final. Participation is huge so make sure you speak up and ask questions. Does not try to trick you and has very little homework. Highly recommend because you also get interested in different ethical dilemmas.

I found this course really interesting and liked Dr. G. I never do great in humanities courses but am satisfied with my grade. We only had 2 assignments. The final was very odd, it was 2, 3 page, take-home essays and an exam with MC and some free-response worth 50% (!) of your grade. Everyone was mad about the exam but I liked the class...

I am absolutely perplexed at these comments! I was worried about taking her class because of them, but am now so confused! She is actually one of my favorite professors - she is nice, a fair grader, and she seems to care about her students. I currently have an A in her class and she is NOTHING like these comments.
