She's a responsible teacher. She always makes sure that her students are aware of what she is talking about. She is very helpful and whoever takes this class will learn a lot but it won't be so easy. She's a great teacher and a nice person.

Her class won't make you boring and she is really nice. I learn so much in her class. TAKE HER CLASS!!

Super cool punk rock lady!! Class is easy if u attend and do all worksheets!!

Her class is super easy. I didnt study and averaged 98%. Just do her homework. She explains very very clearly. At times it becomes monotonous because she repeats often for the dull students. very helpful. A++ instructor. PS. she colors her hair PURPLE!!!

Goldsmith has a passion for teaching. She also has a passion for handouts. She must have given each student AT LEAST 50 pages of handouts so it got confusing to which was homework and which were not. Turn in the HW because it adds up to a lot of points. Tests were okay (STUDY!!), she grades leniently, and she gives extra credit, always a plus.

Great teacher! Class is really easy as long as you do the homework and readings. Interesting subject.

LOTS of handouts. LOTS of quizes. She's really clear and she's pretty good at lecturing but be prepared for loads and loads of handouts. Macroeconomics was as interesting as watching paint dry but she made it alright. Lots of graphs, LOTS and LOTS of graphs. zzzzzzzzz.

I dont know why so many guys are attacking Mrs Goldsmith. She is one of the most wonderful and responsible teacher at CCSF. I pick Econ as my major just because of her lecture. If u really wanna learn sth, this is the right class u need to add.

Goldsmith is very well organized enthusiastic professor. She is not afraid of speak her mind in some of the issues that arise in the class and for me that's what makes it fun. Mostly importantly she's fair and doesn't discriminate men like some of the liberal teachers at CCSF. If you try you gonna get good grade.

many quizes and hw. is not very easy, but it is possible to get an A

She is very good and enthusiastic instructor. She may loose you at the begining the semester with all the handouts, but you will get the system down. She is organized and trying to be very helpfull. Come to class, read her SS and the book, and you get an A. I highly recommend her!

She had WAY too many handouts, it broke my binder. =/ I think she talked a bit too much, kinda boring. Shes easy if you pay attention and keep up on the reading.

This is an alright teacher. she makes A LOT of hand-outs...we probably have nearly 100 pages EACH! lots of reading and reflecting, and you will probably feel really left out if u didn't share the same views with her...she tends to pick favorites, but over-all pretty responsible, makes an effort to make sure that everyone is onboard...cant complain

I thought her handouts were helpful b/c they saved us a lot of money. readers are expensive. A lot of info but I still remember what I learned. Very smart, not hard if you read and participate- you learn a lot!

She's a great teacher who knows how to make economics interesting. I am now considering a degree in economics. She provided many study sessions and one-on-one office hours for students who wanted extra help. She also provided many extra credit opportunities for anyone who wanted to improve their grade.

goldsmith is a very good teacher. she's clear and understanding. i hardly had to use the book bc her lectures are basically the same thing. she does give out a lot of handouts but that just makes studying easier because whatevers on the test is on the handouts. and you dont have to study from the book. she also does study sessions before each test.

She's very passionate about the subject but nit picks at every little detail! Her enthusiam leads to mountains of readings & study topics she doesnt prioritize. Too many handouts! It can be hard to adjust to the cirriculum and keep up w/ material, but if you ask for help/guidance, she'll give it.

She is very into what she is teaching. Gives out a lot of handouts which are beneficial to tests and quizzes. Tries to relate economic concepts to real life so that it is more understandable. This is definitely a hard class but seek help if needed during her office hours.

shes a good teacher. there is lots of readings and handouts. but she wants u to learn and has lots of props and materials to help us learn. she really wants u to learn and shes very knowledgeable. shes nice too!

She a nice teacher that gives her students a lot of useful handouts. I dread economics and thought that this class was interesting, especially when we talk about the recession. She made me appreciate economics, so overall she is a good teacher.

Deborah Goldsmith truly cares about teaching and she is approachable and supportive. Students have said her courses are "easy" only because she is so clear on course objectives and expectations.Econ 25 is a course that Goldsmith developed herself; there is great base content she provides combined with the flexibility of the student's own interests.

She is a nice person and really wants her students to do well. Lots of handouts, but they are all very useful. Economics is not an easy subject, it takes a vested interest to do well. If you do the reading (which she plainly lays out for you-you don't have to read full chapters) you'll get an A

The class is not easy, but she gives out extra credit and activity point that can pull up your grades, I thought I would get a C for this semester, since I attend class everyday and do the extra credit, I end up with a B. Not bad.

Great teacher--very passionate about economics, especially socialism. As long as you study and ask questions, you should do just fine in the class.

Yes, she passes out A LOT of handouts to read and is stingy on attendance, but she's very approachable and knowledgable. Exams difficult due to many new Econ terms, so study! NOT BIASED towards Socialism. She barely mentioned Socialism because our country is Capitalistic (duh!). I dislike Econ, but even I think she's a good teacher. EC offered too!

I think Ms. Goldsmith is great! Extremely non-biased in my opinion. Very detailed and helpful.

I really like Ms. Goldsmith. She's really helpful and very understanding.

Ms. Goldsmith is great! Don't let her handouts scare you the first day of class. She actually makes Econ interesting and ties it to the real world. She's crystal clear and you wouldn't even think you were in a lecture class. She's always there if you need extra help, and she offers plenty of extra credit assignments. Take her classes!

One of the best! but not for everyone... My advice: If you like sociology or polt science and want to take econ then take Goldsmith. If your interests are more focused on business and econ, you probably won't enjoy it as much. She is fair, interesting, extra credit, lots of handouts, get a binder, presents all prespectives and makes econ relevant

I loved her class. She talks about fun and interesting subjects, and gets the class into Econ. She provides a lot of Extra Credit opportunities and discusses a lot of things that pertain to us today. I highly recommend her class.

Good teacher overall but attendance matters more than it should..like w/each abscence u loose 3 points outta like 30 &attendance is 3% which cn drop u to a B if u were on the lower end of an A. Soo many handouts bt she goes over things until u gt it :) However, shes an elementary school type teacher..treats students like kids..lame!

She has a strong personality, but she's always willing to answer questions. Attendance is mandatory, but if you have a REAL reason to miss class she's understanding. The course covers a large overview of Econ topics quickly and her grading is fair. Be prepared with a 3-ring binder- she gives TONS of handouts.

Loved her! She is so helpful and informative. She uses a mix of traditional and innovative teaching techniques. Take a class with her, she is amazing.

Mrs. Goldsmith is cool. Her lectures are straight forward and homework is always graded high even with mistakes. Attend class and pay attention to lectures, study for the tests and this class isn't as hard as some may say it is. Can't get an A if you don't work for it.

Goldsmith is one of the better professors I've had during my college career. She's very energetic and obviously enjoys teaching. She tries to get people involved in the class, so if you're not paying attention or never answer questions she's more likely to call on you. Just participate in the class and it's pretty easy to get an A. As can b seen by teh reviews its da kidz with the bad speling and poor gramars that dont like her. I don't know why those kids bother going to school in the first place if they have no interest in learning anything.

she is super nice,and very approachable.come to her and she definetely wants to help you, study and ask her questions before quizzes and you get an easy a,just go to her, and she is very helpful and she really cares about her students!one of the best teachers!thank you,instructor goldsmith!

Mrs. G is a very nice person and tries very hard to be fair. She is a little forgetful, but if you treat her with respect she will have mercy on you if you forget something once of twice. She cares about attendance so don't skip class. The books are barely used so you might want to just use the ones in the library. Buy the reader its used EVERY day

I learned a lot about different cultures/experiences of women & had fun in this class. She gives worksheets & quizzes, which closely follow the assigned readings. Buy the reader! The final was essays & a quiz. We got the essay prompts beforehand, could finish them at home & drop by to turn them in. Class discussion is important, so speak up!

GREAT INSTRUCTOR!!! I wish she taugh more courses! She's does her best to get the class to understand the material.

I learned so much from this class!! They should make this course mandatory for all students. :) Awesome instructor!

An excellent professor. Makes macroeconomic concepts easy to grasp. She gives study guides that are very detailed and basically has everything you need to know. Homework and quizzes are easy and there is no reason not to get full credit for them. There are extra credit opportunities for exams, even though here exams aren't even all that difficult.

Ms. Goldsmith is super nice and evry excited about economics, which is a plus if it's not a subject your good at or excited about. I really liked the handouts she gave us, because it was easier to understand than the textbook and it made the material more easily digestable. She inspired me to major in economics. :)

she is very helpful and nice, and she is always willing to answer your question. she makes economic interesting. her exams is not hard but also not easy. however, she is not an easy A, I think about 3 people in our class get an A

Very organized teacher. Kinda hard teacher but amazing! Just study hard and do the homework and you'll be fine. Take her class!!!

Deborah is very straight forward - you know exactly what to read and what to expect. Her lectures are entertaining and she covers a LOT of information in classes. Be prepared for numerous handouts and a little bit of group work. I enjoyed that the class was little political, too.

She wants all of her students to succeed. She hold multiple review session throughout the semester and during finals week. The assignments are very clear and she provides lots of in class handouts in order to better understand the material. There is a lot of reading to do but If you put the work in you'll really enjoy the class!

Expect tons of homework and the tests before the final are very challenging. You will learn o lot from this class for sure, but you have to be very determined if you wanna succeed.

I didn't plan on taking the class, but by mistake decided to check her class. Loved the lecture and had to drop my English class to keep Econ in my schedule. Deborah is a very knowledgeable instructor, who cares about every student and CCSF. Online HW are not easy, she uses old and modern examples and has an old school style. Highly recommended!

There will be homework (1-2 page worksheet) and reading at least every other night (a few pages only) and lecture will be done the next day. There's a test after every chapter. Review on homework and sections read and you can pass the class. Don't use your phone in class or she'll stop lecture to give you a warning.

Lots of opportunities for extra credit. Clear explanations of concepts/formulas with discussions of real world applications, social justice, & institutional bias in economics and business. Homework is online & worksheets provided in class. I have major math anxiety & had never taken Macro. In-class tutor was helpful with homework questions!

Miss goldsmith is by far one of the great and intelligent teacher at ccsf. She teach students very well. Clear grading. She make sure every student to get succeed in exam by giving so many resources and handout before exam. I'm planning to take my next Econ class with her. Also extra credit for student who score low, to have chances to pass.

Caring teacher that teaches old style at a good pace. Don't be on your phone/laptop b/c she wants you to listen. It helps a lot if you understand how to read basic curves on graphs. She gives a lot of handouts and as long as you understand what you are doing, you will get easy A. PDF of textbook sent to your email. I read none of textbook and got A

Professor Goldsmith is definitely underrated here. She genuinely cares about students! Many opportunities for extra credit and the course is not hard. She explains the concepts clearly and she gives out many handouts for better understanding the material. The test is quite similar to the handouts.

Ms goldsmith is one of the outstanding teacher who really care about her students success. She is very dedicated teacher and she is also nice and knows a lot about economics. She is an assets of the city college of sf. Strongly recommended her! She is genuine and caring teacher!

Professor Goldsmith's class was a very easy A, but her lectures are boring and she keeps you in class the entire time. We had weekly homework, 4 quizzes, 2 projects, and a short final paper due for her class. The homework is very time consuming and so is the reading, but you can don't need to read everything, just find the answers for the homework.

Ms. Goldsmith gives you the books for her class. Her homework and exams are almost identical. She makes it easy to understand. Be sure to bring in a question on Friday's to get the participation points.

Not the most interesting but it's econ lol. You can tell she enjoys economics tho! Standard (weekly) hw and tests. Never had to read the book bc she teaches so well! If you do the hw, you will do well on tests A. Really clear teaching. If I had a question, really easy to ask. Lots of extra credit opportunities. Overall, solid teacher.
