Reviews of professor Allison Goldman

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
It's like an elementary school class. She reads straight from notes the whole class. She likes to brag about her credentials. Everyone can see it's a lie because she doesn't seem to know anything. All assignments are short answers. Seriously, at university level??? Someone from university needs to seriously check her credentials. She is a fraud!

Very good professor for a summer course. Spring/summer semester is always so tough, but with the clear grading criteria it made it easy to follow. There is quite a bit of material to this course but it all ties together. Great prof and would take again.

I was bored in most of her classes because I felt she wasn't very engaging. But from the way she talks, she definitely knows what she's talking about and always gives good examples. She gave 15 case studies, 2 midterms, and 1 final. She's always willing to give an extension if you haven't completed a case study. Her exams were MCQ. Not a bad prof.

I got 55 for my final assignment. She didn't give me a concrete and sensible explanation. So I asked for a grade appeal. After the grade appeal, it went up to 70.

I've taken both 275 and 306 with Allison and could not recommend her more. She is extremely approachable and was always willing to discuss relevant topics outside of class. She brings lots of interesting cases to discuss in 306, and grades fairly on all assignments and presentations.

Another underwhelming Professor at the U of R. Her class is dry and she reads directly off the slides and doesn't expand or add anything relevant. You have 11 assignments, 2 midterms, and a comprehensive final. Exams were really tough and did not follow the outline she gave in class. Also we received no feedback on our exams. I would avoid her.
