Reviews of professor Benjamin Goerger

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Average professor. He wasnt great, but he wasnt terrible. I felt like he didnt always explain concepts in a clear way but he was always willing to clarify if needed. The class was pretty straightforward, and not easy. He wasnt super personable. He offered extra credit here but dont rely on this. Not sure Id take him again.

Dr. Goerger is fantastic. I had him for both 273 and 385 this semester and he kept online lectures engaging, prioritized visual demonstrations, gave us a ton of practice problems, and was very prompt in replying to emails. Definitely a fair grader and wants you to succeed. I loved having him and would highly recommend him for both 273 and 385!!

Great professor, he was very caring and made anatomy a very interesting class as I was scared because of what I had heard before. The only thing is that our grades were unorganized because he was not sure how to access canvas which made everyone stress, but overall I enjoyed his class!

He's a very funny, kind professor. He made sure to learn everyone's name on day 1. The material is physics, but it's very easy. You can teach it to yourself a day before the exam and get an A. Goerger really cares about his students and makes learning fun. 10/10 highly recommend.

Dr. Goerger is one of my favorite professors at UNC, he gives practice problems to prepare students for exams and gives partial credit on free response exam questions. He makes lectures fun by telling dad jokes and giving real life examples of how biomechanics works, I had never taken physics before and still managed to make a B in the class.

Professor Goerger handled online learning amazingly! Very accommodating and provided flexibility in assignments. There are about 4 homework assignments, 1 paper (which a ton of feedback is provided), a few quizzes, and 3 exams (closed notes). Class was held via Zoom during the scheduled meeting time, but they were very productive and useful.

Dr. Goerger has an amazing teaching spirit and always find ways to include active recall into the lesson. He really enjoys class participation. The course only has two exams, so it is important to really do well on those exams. Exams are straightforward. Also gives extra credit at end, which is super helpful to give your grade an additional boost.

Fantastic professor! EXSS 385 is not an easy course, but he makes material understandable. Lectures are not mandatory, but online he didn't post recordings of the lectures which were v helpful. You have access to the slides and notes, but in his lectures he does a ton of demonstrations and examples. Practice problems given to prep for exams!!!
