Prof. Gould is the best math professor I've ever had. Funny, engaging, really wants you to understand concepts instead of just learning minutia of theorems. Homework every class which makes it easy to prepare for tests. There's always a choice between two extra credit problems on exams which is a plus.

Hudson Gould is a professor who very much knows his craft, but unlike some with that distinction, he can also teach his craft very well. Gould typically leads lectures in way that both demonstrate his thought process and address general student concerns, while also offering ample room for student participation. Great teac

Great teacher, knows how to make an intro class really introductory (while also covering advanced topics) and homework is always related to what is seen in class. Lots of extra credit opportunities and tests are mostly based on how you can explain your work, with less emphasis on just getting the right answer or using the right formula (ez P cred)

I had a really rough time with prof Gould. two days before our midterm someone asked her what they should study to prepare and her answer was a frustrated "i dont know i havent written it yet". She was disorganized. Didn't cover enough material in class and then expected you to know it for the exam. Got annoyed easily.

Professor Gould makes math engaging and fun. They want you to understand concepts instead of memorizing them. Be ready to write explanations for concepts on quizzes/tests aside from solving problems. They're hilarious and crack jokes during class. They are accessible outside of class and will stay past their office hour time to help students out.

Gould is the GOAT. Amazing lectures, super accessible outside of class, inspirational, and hilarious. Class was hard but manageable if you put in the work.
