Reviews of professor David Gold

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Gold is a really caring professor and gives accommodations to students who have been affected by the pandemic. His lectures are also very clear and organized; if you are interested in dinosaurs/geology definitely take this class!! If you want to do well make sure to watch all lectures, take notes, and review slides.

Very fun and interesting class! 3 Activities (unlimited attempts), 1 media discussion post, and a final. As long as you watched the lectures, take good notes, and review the activities, you should be able to do well on the final

A very easy class. Dr. Gold worked really hard to be accommodating to people who did not want to/could not come to in-person lecture. He also pushed back assignment due dates when necessary. There are not many assignments, but they are all very simple and can be done within a day. Fun and simple

I took this class Spring 2021 quarter online. 3 activities that have unlimited attempts and then a final that is pretty easy for the most part. The professor seems like he doesn't care too much though. He would jump into the Zoom sessions and jump out as quick as possible without really waiting to communicate with the students. Easy A

there were only 3 papers and 1 pre-writing assignment. he gives clear instructions and provides a "template" of topics to write about for each paragraph. attendance was mandatory for at least 10 classes for participation, but the rest was graded for extra credit. overall, he's super nice and the class is an easy ge!

Grade was based on one final exam (super easy), two activities (unlimited tries), and three short writing assignments (easy A if you follow the rubric). Felt like a combination of bis2c and the dinosaurs class. Class was super interesting and I really enjoyed going to class. Dr Gold was super caring and accommodating over the pandemic.

Tests are a little tricky, only 2. No hw, the lectures were uploaded! You do need to study the concepts of everything.

His classes were really fun! The content wasn't difficult. There were 3 activities with unlimited chance. There was a media assignment about sharing a piece of article, or video, or anything else about the dinosaur and connecting it to the class content. There was 1 FINAL and NO MIDTERMS!

Great professor, passionate about his field. There were a few assignments and quizzes and 1 final. The assignments are easy .5 to 1 page essays. The quizzes are open note and VERY straightforward. The final exam was also open notes and was pretty easy. Pretty hard not to get an A, put an ounce of effort in and you'll get an A+
