Reviews of professor Nathan Goldfarb

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Chemistry is a hard subject for me but Dr. Goldfarb made it SUPER easy to understand! He goes slow through his lectures and is very open to answering any question to make sure everyone is on the same page. He even will drop some exam questions if he realizes they were a bit too hard. very considerate of his students. Best professor I have ever had!

I had never taken a chemistry class, but Professor Goldfarb made the experience enjoyable. You are guaranteed a good grade if you attend class, read the textbook, and do the practice problems. He wants you to succeed which I think is hard to find in STEM professors. I never felt like his tests were unfair or too hard. Highly recommend his class!

The class has no assignments just quizzes and exams. The class wasn't impossible, but he went very fast through the slides and didn't start working through things step by step until we asked a few times for him to do it halfway through the semester

Took Dr. G's biochem class Spring 2023. Your grade is solely based on 8 exams. If you attend the lectures and study the power points along with the notes that go along with the slides you will do well on the exams. Also study the practice problems given for each exam as they can sometimes be on the exams. All in all I really enjoyed this class.

Sometimes contradicts the book but makes it clear that what he is teaching is what will be tested on.

Dr. Goldfarb is a great teacher, who is consistently looking for feedback and the class's understanding level. He keeps outside classroom hours,to  come in and ask questions. Chemistry was really easy to understand, and with his help and in class/ at home practice problems we got plenty of application to the curriculum.

Goldfarb is a great teacher for chemistry! He is clear about what he teaches and usually bases quizzes and tests off of the slides. I never ended up using the textbook. Go to class, take notes, look back at the slides, and rewatch class if you need to. Easy class to get an A in if you put in time.
