I'm so shocked she is a teacher with how she treated her students, it doesn't even seem like she enjoys teaching. The material is already really hard to learn but she just doesn't have much patience or a good attitude. I don't recommend if you have soft skin.. It was my worst decision taking her.

Dr. Goode was one of my favorite teachers at Towson, unfortunately its rare that I find a teacher who can genuinely teach, give LOTS of extra credit, and tons of office hours, but she did this so well. She recorded her lectures, gave a heads up about any quizzes or tests, she WANTED you to pass. I hope others see how great of a teacher she is :)

The professor needs to improve on how to be professional. There were times where she was just completely unprofessional. I couldn't ask questions because if she would be disrespectful if she felt they were self-explanatory questions. She didn't understand every student is the same so by setting these expectations, she was quick to anger.

She is very particular on what she wants and did not leave any wiggle room for anything. She comes off really rude at times, I think she could improve her communication but she has been teaching forever so I don't see her changing her ways. Not a fan of her teaching style. Wish I could say more good things but she just was not for me at all.

I tried taking this class with an open mind but the reviews here are accurate. She is NOT for the weak. She is very blunt and doesn't seem to be very patient with students. I personally did not like her teaching style. I would recommend taking someone else if possible.

Dr. Goode has such a bad rep here! I think the material itself is very difficult, especially if math is not your jam. She works through all the problems, uploads her notes from the class, and allows you to use notes on tests. She answers emails, gives extra credit for participation, and curved the heck out of our final. Do your best & participate

HORRIBLE.. When I say HORRIBLE I mean horrible . She makes you believe she is there for you and she is not . I am currently taking her class and I missed 1-2 assignments, which she told me I should drop for. She's very rude and does not know how to talk to people she uses her words to hurt your feelings and bring you down instead of uplifting you.

She claims that she is always here for her students but throughout my time at Towson she is the WORST and RUDEST professor here. I missed a few homework assignments and she pulled me aside and claimed that I should drop out and that i am gonna fail college and my priorities are all backwards. What professor says this?????

Professor Goode was consistently rude and dismissive, making the class uncomfortable. Instead of creating a supportive environment, she often belittled students for asking questions, which discouraged participation. Her approach felt unprofessional, impacting our learning. Pick your courses early to avoid her class.

I had to drop this class, I really thought I could tough it out but it was too much. The material is already really difficult and I was basically teaching myself. Any time a question was asked, her response was really dismissive and unhelpful. Maybe her style of teaching works for some people but it was just not worth it for me. Take someone else.

Definitely avoid. She is demeaning when answering questions, after the second exam 1/3 of the class dropped out. She only talks about theory and her exams reflect that, and she doesn't give an explicit study guide like professors do. Exams are worth 60% + a final that is worth 20%. She also likes to give pop quizzes to penalize you if you skipped!

Most unhelpful teacher I've ever had. She doesn't give study guides for tests, nor does she let us use note cards on it. On top of online homework, she gives you "special homework" which is harder and takes longer to do. Don't do anything she sees as suspicious during testing because she will make you uncomfortable, stare at you, or ask questions.

She can come off as snarky but she is one of the best professors I have had at Towson. She although cares more about the theory behind the math than the use of the equations. Her lectures were long but fair and your entire grade comes down to 4 tests so be prepared. Always available for office hours, she will like you if you show up and participate

I really struggled throughout this entire class. She is so set on catching someone cheating that she creates all these weird rules for submitting work. She has been the only professor here at TU that I just could not respect or learn much from. I think I managed through the class because of online resources. Not a fan of her style.

The class was extremely awkward throughout the semester. Her responses were typically snarky and not super helpful in my opinion. Sometimes when questions were asked, her response was to just try again or "play with it some more". She said outside resources wouldn't help us, that she was the best source but I just didn't feel like she was at all.

It was a really weird structure and environment. She will appreciate and treat you well if you show up to office hours and ask "good" questions, although sometimes her responses weren't that helpful in my opinion. My advice, show up to her office hours and try to be on her good side. Also, no study guides and the exams are in person.

I struggled quite a lot in the class. Besides my first quiz, I failed every single quiz afterwards. The professor was nice and Dr. Goode offered help however I could not seem to understand. I would advise making sure you study ahead because if you don't you will fall behind. Professor was good, but the workload was challenging.

I loved this class. She was really engaging and you can tell she cares about what she teaches. Like any other math class if you don't pay attention, understand, or study previous material you will fall behind. She has office hours GO TO THEM if you need help. She's organized and notes are clear and posted on blackboard. Grading is FAIR

Fast paced teaching style. For an IT major it probably will be the hardest class you take math wise. 3 big exams and a final, if you understand the homework and I mean actually understand it you will do fine on the exams, otherwise it will be extremely hard. If she knows you she bumps up a little if you try. Try showing up to her office, its doable
