Reviews of professor Dominic Gold

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Calculus is expected to be an intimidating and challenging topic. Gold went with a fast pace in class sometimes leaving you with a blank stare because some problems were so complex. The key to getting an A is to go to the math lab and spending A LOT of time practicing the problems.

Professor Gold (who will be Dr. Gold very soon), was such an amazing professor. He definitely cares about his students and whether or not they understand the material. He always takes the time to explain everything and answer any questions. He's also a very generous grader and wants his students to succeed. 10/10 would take his classes again.

Professor Gold was such an amazing teacher to have during a summer class. He understood how much work we had and was very understanding if something came in the way of the work getting completed. He excused my absence on a quiz day when I had to go with my roommate to the hospital.

We had ALEKS topics, a worksheet, and quiz/test every week but it was very manageable. The ALEKS topics are great review for the quizzes. The lectures are really important to understand the lessons, but his lectures are easy to understand. I would definitely take a class with him again.

At first, I was scared of having a grad student teach the class, since Dr. Shi Bai was stuck overseas. However, Dominic is one of the best professors I've ever had. He does research involving linear algebra, so he definitely knows his stuff. Very nice, great at explaining, and always willing to answer questions. FAU needs more people like him.

He used to be a tutor in the Math Learning Center. He is very good at explaining the problems, but as the semester continues, he starts to speed up a bit. It won't be a problem as long as you go to the TA office hours and most importantly HIS office hours, especially before the tests.

My favorite class I've ever taken was with him in the spring. He made the material easy to digest; he was very kind and answered questions during/after class. I can see why some think he might be a bit fast in lectures, but I felt the pacing was ideal for the time available & didn't compromise clarity. He's super passionate & cares about students!

Mr. Gold is an amazing teacher and cares deeply about your education. I recommend taking this professor. Beware, he might convert you to a math major.

Every week is the same so if you like structure and predictability, he's a good teacher to take. Pretty approachable so don't be afraid to ask questions.

Mr. Gold's lectures can be hard to follow, as he goes fast; pay attention, take notes, and ask questions. He's super quick to respond to emails and super friendly. It was a very simple course structure of 1 quiz/exam per week and ample time to review.
