Reviews of professor Christian Goodnow

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Goodnew is easily the best professor I have ever come across! He is so encouraging and wants to see his students succeed. His love for chemistry shines through in how he teaches the class. Go to office hours to chat, he wants to know that you are trying in the class. Wish I could take him in my future chemistry classes. TAKE HIM!!!!!!!!!!

I do not understand his bad reviews. He is a gem. It is hard to find good professors in STEM especially at PCC. You will learn a lot and won't want to kill yourself like in other classes :)

Prof good now is good choice for students who struggle in chemistry. His lectures are truly understandable and his slides are very organized! I felt his tests are fair because everything he goes through in the lectures, assignments, quizzes, and study guide largely prepares you for the test. He makes chem enjoyable to learn!

I love this professor. For an online chem class with no zoom meeting, it can be scary. He is very lenient with late work and understanding. Students have other lives and are going through a hard time as well and he understands that. He is just an email away. He is amazing!!!

One of my favorite professors so far. Super chill for online and very understanding. Some of his lectures can be a little difficult but not hard to grasp once putting in the time. He preps you for exams and doesn't give out funky questions on stuff that were never taught. Allows full sheet of notes (front and back) on exams and open note quizzes!

Overall, he's a great professor and he cares well about his students and how they are learning chemistry. His lectures were straightforward about the topic but the labs were hard, but then all chemistry professors make the experiments a challenge. In addition, he allows an 8*11 notecard on the quizzes and exams. I recommend him for chem.

I haven't completed the summer yet but I wanted to get on here since people are registering soon. Prof. Goodnow is great! Not sure why he has such bad reviews. Exams are 40%, labs 25%, quiz 20%, SA 15%- super fair grader and his online setup is clear/organized. He responds to questions and he even lets you use a 8x11 paper full of notes on exams!

This is not an intro to chem class, this is a class for science majors. Yes, it's going to be difficult. Taking him for Fall 2020 and he's so willing to help. He really works with the students on understanding the material. You have to STUDY HARD in this class. Chem is not easy. He really will help you if you are struggling.

Professor Goodnow was great! I took his Chem51 class at pierce, and his lectures are long, but he really tries to summarize what you need to know. Homework, quizzes, and workshops. He also gives you the opportunity to correct whatever you got wrong from the test and gives you a couple of points back.
