Reviews of professor Gerald Goodwin

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Good luck getting him to respond to your emails. Pretty easy grader and a chill guy, but very difficult to get a hold of. Flexible due dates and somewhat boring lectures but nothing terrible. He would joke around with us and wasnt too serious, we had 3 exams and a midterm paper and a final paper. Our final exam was just a unit exam like the first 2

Professor Goodwin is a hard, lecture heavy grader. You have to show up and be prepared to write notes and study. As long as you reach out, extensions were given to many students for various reasons. The textbook was never used, it was more a information source rather than a learning material. Very difficult to get an A due to low assignment count.

Gerald Goodwin was definitely an interesting professor that I had. He was a lecture heavy class and would explain the topics fairly quick. It was hard to follow because he would only have pictures but no information. If you ask him to explain the terms again, good luck with that because he will not do it for you. It seems like its a hassle to him.

He is so funny and his jokes are something. There are not a lot of assignments. I had 3 exams and 2 papers. TAKE NOTES!!!

All he does is lecture, idk if it's because of COVID and zoom learning but I got nothing out of this class. He barely engages the class and if you want participation points all you're able to do is ask questions. His lectures are informative, I'll give him that, but this class felt like a complete waste of time for me.

Professor Goodwin is a good guy, but not the best teacher. He lectures in bullet points and does not give detailed information. He is unaware of what is in the textbook provides therefore he isnt sure what chapters wxactly go along with lecture. Because of this reading the textbook wont help a ton. I learned that crash courses were very helpful.

His slides consist of mostly pictures, plus he's kind of vague and goes through the info very quickly. He's constantly jumping back and forth from personal stories to the material. It's hard to focus when he's talking about Vietnam one second and his neighbors abusive relationship the other lol. But there's no homework and only two papers, not bad.
