Very nice teacher and extremely helpful! She cares about you doing well and is very informative. She is thorough and her tests are easy. I would definitely take her again for another class.

Sweet lady! Class and tests are very easy! Grades fairly! Definately recommend!!

She was a very good teacher. I enjoyed the class a lot, but her tests were a little bit vauge. On the last one I took there was a question that I had learned in another class, but had never been mentioned in her class. In any event, she's a nice lady and a good teacher.

Very nice teacher. Never keeps you the whole time. Lets you dicuss things within the classroom and is very understanding. Wonderful!

Great teacher and gives students many oppertunities to excel. She likes to work in groups, and has only two tests, including the final. The final was only 20 questions long and study guides were given for each test. You need the book to complete the study guides and attendence is rewarded with points towards a test grade.

Dr. G is the nicest professor I have ever had! She cares about all her students, and is always willing to help. Her class is not hard at all, I wouldn't take anyone else but her for this class. Nicest woman ever!

I LOVED her class! Some ppl did have trouble understanding assignments but it was easy! She's very helpful & WANTS her studenets to learn. She'll go out of her way to hlep you out

Repeats herself so you are sure to hear it. It is one of the first things she says in class. Extremely helpful. Does the best she can with boring subject matter. Class is not hard. It is basically just following directions and doing assignments. Lenient but not a pushover.

i heart her she is amazing and makes you feel so comfortable you have to be pretty dumb to fail her class ....do the work and put in the time and youll be fine shes the best ...like she says you have whole pizza its your choice if you want to take a slice or the whole damn thing lol

love her. she is an awesome woman. she makes it seem so easy.

This is a tough review. Although the class discussions were awesome, and I feel that she is a brilliant professor, the midterm was extremely difficult. Seriously, if you're in it for the grade, you might look elsewhere. If you're in it to learn and challenge yourself, Dr. Goodman is a good choice. If you're in between, well, I worked HARD for my A.

awesome teacher! she uses a lot of different teaching methods each class to show teachers the correct method of educating. do all of the fact sheets and study for the quizzes when she says to, it makes a big difference. class was three hours long but she let us out at least an hour early every time.

She is a sweetheart. She's the kind of professor that you want to do good so you will not disappoint her. I think she genuinely wants her students to succeed and she does everything in her power to give the students that chance.

She is one of the sweetest people in the world. She is really kind and you can tell that she really cares about her students. Sometimes she can be repetitive and talk to the class as if they are in elementary school, but overall she is really smart and a great teacher. Her tests are SO easy if you study. Definitely take her if you have the option.

She is the greatest professor you will have. I will pick her for other classes too. Tests is pretty easy, but you must study for it. I recommend everyone to take this professor whenever you have a chance.

she is such a sweetheart. you can tell she really wants her students to do well. the entire class is group work but you do learn. the tests were hard but came right from the book. would take her again without a doubt.

Sweetest woman in world... mama dukes as I like to say. She is not only an amazing educator but she really cares about the world of teaching and about her students. She is the S**t!!

Dr. Goodman was a great professor for a college freshman. She was understanding when it came to people's problems and helped out whenever she could. What I did not like about the class was it was completely group work based. The workload was not bad and the tests were fair--you just had to study like crazy.

Dr. Goodman was an awesome professor. I had her for Introduction to Education as well as Teaching Diverse Populations. She was such a sweetheart. Her class was easy and she even offered some extra credit towards the end. Take her! You won;t regret it!

Best professor ever!! She is the most helpful professor i've had. I take her whenever i can and am now taking my fourth class with her. So caring and thoughful; take her whebever you can!

Not the best teacher... she takes the class VERY seriously. She is helpful after class but puts on a mean look during her lectures. Speaking of lectures all she does it talk about how important the class is rather then teaching us the "important" information. Although she isnt the best teacher im still getting an A in the class.

Class is very easy, easier then you would expect. She says attendance is mandatory, and then does not take it. Almost all assignments are group, so they end up being very easy. Very nice professor and always responds to e-mails quickly.

Goodman was a decent teacher, very passionate about teaching; however, at times the class found her instructions unclear. Seems strict during lectures yet she'll joke every once in a while. There are easier teachers-grades group work and "homework" fairly easy, but the individual hard. Need a 95 to make an A..94.4 is an A- so that's kinda lame.

helpful teacher, wants you to KNOW the material (not memorized). i received an A-, which i worked for. overall, the class was easy as long as you read the syllabus & kept up w/deadlines. we wrote a group paper which wasn't easy. we also had an oral midterm which was hard b/c she would randomly pick a person for each question (mult, & short answer)

Dr. Goodman is by far the best and most kind-hearted professor I've had at UCF. She cares about every one of her students and makes the material interesting. Don't expect to slack off in her class because she is not afraid to call you out and make you answer questions on the spot. But, overall an amazing teacher, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!

Professor Goodman is great! You can tell she loves teaching and the class discussions are always interesting. She asks for feedback on the online portions and changes things if there are problems. She answers her emails within 24 hours, also. The only problem is the group work. If you're in a bad group, it's nearly impossible to get anything done.

AMAZING WOMEN! Highly recommend! She is clearly well educated and passionate about her craft.But, if you are not sure about whether education is for you,you wwill be after her class. She has no problem letting you kno whats up; yet you can't help but love & appreciate her. Very! heplful & quick to email. Pay attention and go to class you're good.

I'll be a junior in the fall and Dr. Goodman is the hands down best professor I have had yet. A lot of college professors come across as self interested and arrogant, but Goodman is extremely genuine and helpful, in addition to being passionate about what she does. Amazing teacher and person, I would reccomend her.

She is very funny!!! So nice and helpful. Her study guides are very helpful. Show up to class and be prepared! Be respectful and you will be good.

Dr. Goodman is a really easy going professor but you HAVE to go to class because she docks points for each absence. She usually gets back to your questions fairly quickly and if you need help she's REALLY helps

She is a lot of help. If you ever have any questions, you can email her any time of the day. She keeps class interesting and keeps everyone involved in class. Its not just a lecture, its fun!

She made the class uninteresting. Assigns a group paper and then grades harshly. A lot of the assignments aren't graded until the end of the semester, so the grade you think you are getting may be wrong. I got the grade I wanted, but still would not recommend her for this class.

One of the most caring professors I've met. It's a great class, where you will learn a lot. Just study and pay attention in class. I highly recommend Dr. Goodman!

interesting class, cool midterm, do high quality work and you will get an A

Her class is half online and half face to face. She is a very caring person and she wants nothing more than for her students to succeed. This class is not difficult, if you do your work you're in good shape. She like to crack jokes and makes class enjoyable. I recommend taking her. I took her for more than one class.

This class is mixed mode, which means half online & half face to face. She can be tough on grading for certain assignment & very lenient for others. This makes it hard to judge the effort to put in to some assignments. She is a great professor & is always very helpful. I strongly recommend taking her for any & all of the classes that she teaches.

Dr. Goodman is extremely passionate about what she teaches, and I promise that you'll be at the edge of your seat while she talks. My only issue was assignments being unclear, particularly the group assignments. Just make sure you reference your course packet often because she will not remind you about assignments coming up.

For ANYBODY that said "She's a tough grader", just put effort into the work. You can't expect to turn in BS work and get a good grade. She judges based on the quality and accuracy put into assignments. That being said, certain assignments were not clear yet she was VERY helpful via email if you ever have questions. I would for SURE take her again.

Dr. Goodman is amazing. Yes, you have to work a little for your A, but she is so passionate about what she teaches and who she teaches it to that the class is enjoyable. She is a reliable resource and is willing to help you. I have had her twice and would take her again if I could.

I Thought she was a gem! I took her and received an A. In terms of having never taken a Diversity class, it was a good class. I learned a lot form her class, and would finitely take her again. I don't know why she isn't scored higher! It's true that she didn't put the grades in until the end but she was organized in my class.

This was a very straightforward and enjoyable class. She gave SO many options for alternatives to the actual assignments listed in the course syllabus AND offered significant amounts of extra credit. I also enjoyed her lectures because you can tell she cares for the subject matter and enjoys conveying the information. I would highly recommend! :)

she is an amazing teacher. I had her for two semesters and loved her classes. I wish I could have her again. If you want a teacher that cares and wants to make you a better student take Dr. Goodman! :)

Dr. Goodman was amazing! She really knows what she is talking about during your lectures with her. You also have 15 Service Learning hours to be done at a local Title 1 school of your choice which actually opened my eyes to teaching at the elementary level as well as a Title 1. Would take again!

Dr. Goodman is such an amazing professor! Shes so sweet and always makes the effort to know you personally. She only requires a packet with work that may seem tedious but its super easy! I look forward to having her again in the fall!

She is wonderful! She is a great teacher. If I could have her every semester, I would.

There were papers due every other week and if you follwed the rubric you did well. Very intersting course. You would be put into a group and do discussions as well and would express your opinon on a topic.

Dr. Goodman was an amazing professor. The class is heavy on discussions and she calls out random people to talk about topics related to the course. Overall the content is not difficult to learn and the application of topics is crucial for this course. There is one group project and it's worth a lot of points. Definitely would take again!

Has class once a month. Class is mandatory or you get a ten point deduction. She is an amaing professor and really cares about her students. The bad thing is that she doesn't really teach the course and is just the students giving presentations. You teach the course on your own. If you put in the work and turn things early, you are able to pass.

Prof Goodman wants you to succeed. While there is a lot of work, I found her very fair in her grading. Definitely do your boots on the ground if you can. Not only is a great experience but she looks fondly towards this. I disagree with others Prof Goodman is one of a kind.

If you are an education major, this professor gives great lectures about what you will need to know as a future educator. Sometimes takes away points without context which is frustrating and there is a good amount of writing as well. Also this class is mostly online with a couple meetings in person.
