Mr. Goss is a good lecurer teacher and a very fair grader. Tests are medium in hardness. He WILL keep you in class the entire time, but his lectures are interesting if you get into them. I loved this class. Grades easy on the Final paper.

The tests are really long and hard. Lots of reading and material to memorize. You'll be fine if you like politics but if not, it'll be hard. Not an easy A.

he is a cool teacher to have for a subject that is very boring to many students out there. he tells you everything ahead of time and he lets you know of the changes. though he seems mean he is very nice and reasonable just don't be afraid to talk to him

Be ready to memorize the whole book!!!

Good guy. Likes his subject- all mult choice tests and one final paper. Not too difficult if have time to study and keep up with chapters. Class is usually entertaining and if willing to put in some effort, you'll do fine..can be intimidating at first.

This guy is great, you will want to actually take part inh this mans class. Hes easy going, even if he looks like a stiff. But he takes his job seriously thats what counts and he'll even go easy on night classes.

GOOD TEACHER

makes subject matter intresting, must keep up with all the reading and use the online tests that go w/ the books. the paper is hard to write. grades fair

Prof. Goss is VERY passionate about what he teaches and this is what makes the class interesting. The tests are hell, but IF you take all the notes from the power point and study them, you'll at least get a "C". That's what I did!

Goss has the appearance of a mean teacher, but he is actually very nice! He makes the subject interesting, altough it does require reading. Taking the online tests is recommended, and good notes should be taken during class. He's a tad bit superstitious and knocks on wood a lot. He's a sweet man.

very intelligent professor.dont let his looks fool you.might seem bossy but in reality he is somewhat easy going. also a funny guy: knocks on wood and makes proposals. READ THE BOOK!! and take lots of notes. 3 exams, 1 paper (took him during the summer).im a c student.if i passed it u can to. hehehe

He looks hard, but teaches you very good. Take good otes, read the books, and you'll do good. the bad side is that he talks a lot always giving his republican opinion and he never lets you out early. Overall if this is your major take him. this coming semester he's gone but will be back. Nice guy!!!

Not an easy A, but he makes lectures interesting. Read the book and take notes, and you'll be fine. Funny Guy.

He is an amazing teacher, he gives you what you pay for in college. He is a bit biased in politics, but he warns you that it is his OPINION. His class is harder than most, but very worth your while. I dont go to a lot of classes, but I didnt miss his, and enjoyed every one. TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!!!

One of the best teacher I have had. He is passionate and challenging. His test are difficult, but he teaches the subject well and you will definetly learn. He is also politically conservative with is a unique as it is refreshing. Take His Class!

Awesome teacher. His lectures are amazing and his powerpoints are very helpful. He is difficult though and bias when it comes to politics. But it always up to date, and answers any political questions. One of the best teachers to take, but will guarantee you: STRESS! Hard to recieve an "A".

This is one of the few classes that doesn't shrink. Even the kids who are failing come to class because he's interesting. His performance is flawless, although occasionally you'll catch him going off on a rampant that he took the class before (hiring people at the mint). His enthusiasm is contagious. Get started on the paper before the last week

Great overall. Good lectures. Good Tests. Not boring. Highly Recommended.

Took it two semester ago, and it was very interesting. Overall it was hard and you need to read the text and study alot to get an A. His lectures are the best part of class because he will always keep everyone capitvated. Does not speak in a monotone voice and is quite funny at times. Sadly he is bias and sways with the Republicans.

His classes are always entertaining because of the humor he injects into his lectures. This teacher definitely knows his stuff even if he does tend to lean to the right. Just read the material, pay attention to his power-points and praise USC football and you should do alright.

good indeed.

a good example teacher who can really teach.

One of my favorite teachers by far. He has a lot of energy and always makes things interesting. He is biased though, but he doesn't hold you to know anything based on that. If you do the reading and pay attention to the powerpoints you'll be fine.

Excellent Learning experience. Excellent Class! Not easy, but an unparrell learning experience. Pay attention to the textbook. Most of his test come from terms and reading. The lectures highlight what he feels is important. His leactures are well organized and he uses powerpoint so it is easy to take notes.

Great Class.

He doesn't curve the grades. I got a high B on all of my exams and I got a B in his class. You need to turn in a term paper at the end of the semester which should be pretty easy if you utilize his office hours and pick his brain on what he would like to read from your paper. He is a conservative so if you have a problem with that, dont take him.

A terrific teacher! I had little or no interest in Political Science prior to this class, and he made it not only interesting but fun. Read the book, take the notes He's awesome. I would take another pol sci class from him anytime.

He is a really good teacher if you have an understanding of politics. I honestly did not so I suffered in his class. He is not boring and he has discussions about current events which is always good to know. If you've taken a Polsc class before this is the class for you if you have a good understanding of Politics.

By far the best professor ive had in my college career. He isnt easy, but he is the best.

he was a interesting prof made class fun...very upbeat always trying to get the student's opinion etc..TESTS WERE HARD! it was 100 questions usually 60 were multiple choices..the rest true and false and that is where it hurts!! the true and false are really tricky where one part is true and the other part COULD be true. not an easy class DONT TAKE

his test are freakin hard as HELL!! he's a really good professor and very upbeat, but if you actually want to pass DON'T take the class, test were like 100 questions, and he didn't give a study guide. If you want a challenge then take him, if you want to pass...don't take him

Professor Goss is an exceptional teacher. He will never patronize a student who has a different political point of view. His power point notes are helpful for the tests. You should have no problem passing. I have taken 3 classes with him and have received 2 A's and 1 B (the B cause I was slacking)

The professor believes in his students.

One of the best teachers at LBCC His lectures are on powerpoints so there is no trouble taking notes. He encourages class discussion and is alway interesting. Test are multiple choice and essay and there are no surprises. If you need help he will bend over backwards to help.

Professor Goss is an excellent instructor and he seems to care about his students. Professor Goss also makes his class interesting by giving some thought provoking topics to discuss. I would totally recommend him to anyone that needs to take PoliSci. He cannot be beat. I really enjoyed having him as an instructor. Much props to him.

This was an awesome class! I learned so much during this class and can't wait to take another from Prof. Goss. He even went out of his way to help me when my work got in the way of school. I definitely recommend him. Don?t think his class will be easy though, notes are good but reading your text book is a must if you want to pass.

A very fair and objective PoliSci instructor! Respectful of all (or diverse) opinions. Took his class online in summer session (fast paced) so he may or may not be "easy", I can say he is unbiased/fair which makes for a conducive learning enviro. He was so cool though that I'd have been glad to take his on campus lecture class. He knows his stuff.

PROFFESOR GOSS WAS WONDERFUL. HE WAS HELPFULL AND HIS LECTURES WHERE INTERESTING.

Mr Goss is a great instructor. he is outgoing and helpful and will do all that he can for his students. Tests can be tricky, but study and take notes. Best advice: Make an effort, participate, & show him you are doing what you can and ull pass. Grading essays is on content, so have a general idea and know how it applies. Will take him again 4 sure!

He requires a lot of work but is very fair and is a great instructor!

Prof. Goss is amazing! He is very dependable on replying back to my e-mails. And when I needed him to send a letter to my FA saying that I attended his class so I wouldn't have to pay them back $800, he did it! I don't think I've ever had a teacher that would do that. The online class I took was medium to easy. Had to drop because of my schedule.

I took his class during summer school. Alot of work but as long as you do the homework, exercises and quizzes you will do fine! He was very helpful and replied back to emails promptly. This was a great class, I got a A.

Professor Goss was an incredible professor. Him and I went head to head a lot because he is a lot more conservative then I am. However, I always felt respect from him despite our arguments. I can honestly say that he gives grades based on merit and does not play favourites, because I was certainly not one of hios favourites and I left with an A.

Goss is really helpful. He likes students coming over to his office, because he loves to help. He is always available and if he isn't, he'll call you back if you leave your number. He isn't the easiest teacher out there, because he wants to make sure that you learn the material but even THEN I wouldn't want to take another poli sci class without hi

Mr. Goss is the best Poli Sci teacher ever. I love him! He is very helpful & comprehensive. I don't know if it's because he likes me or because he's just that way, but if you talk to him about your issues, he will understand you&try his best to work his way around. He's not neglecting&does email back every time. His class is not hard if you read.

Mr. Goss let me take some time off his class & even let me take a test at home because of my illness, so that I wouldn't have to drop my class. Seriously, what other teacher does that!? No other teacher cares about a student's grade or problems THAT much! He is by far, the best teacher I've had. He is so charismatic & charming & rather handsome.

Online; 1/2 Semester. 5 chapters read every 2 weeks and with a quiz and forum question for every chapter. Also 4 exams with essay questions and a 6 page thought paper. He's very short and to the point. Emails take a while to get a response, but he's very understanding. Let me turn my thought paper in late when I was out of town :) Overall, great!

This is what all college professors should be like. He is very passionate about his subject and yes, he does require you to read and take "aggressive" notes (it is college, people!) for the tests but if you take good notes, you won't have to read the entire book, I did that and still got an A. Great teacher, cares a lot about students.

Great teacher! Class consist of 4 exams each of 80 analytical questions, but he does give plenty of extra credit, and practice tests online. Struggled throughout the semester, but studied hard and received a B! (oh, and about half of the class dropped by the end of the semester!)

professor goss wasn't that bad he is pretty difficult I struggled with the test but that god he offered extra credit and that his online quizzes and discussion boards were mandatory because they saved my behind lol also his political thought paper helped even though it was seven pages long it was worth 100 points and I got a 95

Great teacher! Really gets you to question/be critical about the way the government operates and the politicians who run it. Influenced me to be more active in politics. I love the class (not done yet), very empowering. He's tough, but if you communicate with him, ask for help, and just do the work (there's a lot!), you'll do fine.

This professor is a must. His lectures are very informative and engaging. If you have any questions, ask! He is passionate about Political Science and gives 'no bones about it' lectures on how the political process really works.

The best. I enjoyed his class and the Bold statements that allow students 2 display knowledge and support ideas. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the best teachers i have ever had. you can feel his passion. He is as fair as can be and rewards good behavior. If you do not want to learn, do not take this teacher. He is not easy, but Like i said, this guy is gold.

I was able to get a lot out of this class. Goss is extremely conservative and I am a borderline socialist but he never graded me down for not agreeing with him on political issues. I appreciated the perspective.

Prof. Goss opens each class with an "any questions?" opportunity to discuss current events or virtually any political science topic question you may have. My class had the political diversity of conspiracy theorists to think tank news junkies. He allows for all political view points to be expressed. Not for slackers! Serious students only!

Mr. Goss is very passionate about political science, enjoyed his class. His tests are DIFFICULT, you have to study HIS NOTES and the BOOK! ATTEND the class and pay attention. Do NOT take this course if you want an easy A. Simple class, 4 tests and 1 essay due by end of semester but it's difficult. I learned a lot from him and was able to get an A.

If you love politics, you will love his lectures. They are passionate and informative- I learned SO much in his class and discovered a passion for Poli Sci. in myself. However, you do need to do the reading as the tests are worth your entire grade and they cover more than just lectures. A hard class, but worth it if you care about the subject.

His lectures are amazing, he has a level of insight that is both clarifying and inspiring. His sense of humor also helps the lectures move along. Plus he has experience in politics which gives him a unique perspective from other teachers.

Great guy. Very passionate. Not the easiest class I've had but really enjoyed taking his class. He is really there to offer help if you want to take advantage of it. Only 1 paper, 4 test and quite a few extra credit opportunities.

He loves and lives what he teaches, great professor. His tests are difficult but you have to read and study everything he assigns to do well. Provokes a desire to become more politically involved in your community. Enjoyed listening to his lectures.

His class discussions are among the best of my college career. He is really passionate about political science and it shows through his lectures. This class is difficult but if you read the book and listen to his lectures you will pass. He likes to start class with open discussion on questions or issues you're interested in. My favorite professor!

Not the easiest, but the Best!! An eye-opening political science class.

I took the online course over summer intercession. Tons of reading, tons of time. I expected this class to be challenging because of the shorter time, and it was. Dr Goss was a fair grader, and responsive to my emails when sent. This class is not for those looking to coast by with an easy A, you earn you grade here. Only serious students apply.

His class is based on powerpoint lecture as he speaks and you are writing down as much notes as you can! Reading is mandatory if you want to do well on the exams. Multiple Choice. He is an amazing professor, but if you don't plan to give effort to the class then it isn't for you. It's college. Best professor at LBCC. Visit him during office hours!

Well! In a nutshell, I had a great time in Professor Goss's class. I really enjoyed our class discussions. I learned a lot and really respect his way of teaching. I would suggest this class if you are a true Poli Sci Major and are looking for a real challenge and to learn from a real Politician. Now for the real real, His class is HARD AS HELL!!!!

I took Professor Goss for Pol-Sci 3 & Pol-Sci 10. I've never had a better professor than this man! He is an outstanding professor that really takes his work seriously. He is also a REAL politician teaching Political Science, so he knows what he's talking about. Ask questions in class, do your reading, & LISTEN to him. You will do great!

Professor Goss is a great teacher his class consists of four exams and a research paper. His tests require you to read the textbook and his tests consist of multiple choice true false and two essay questions. He gives you the essay questions in advance. Easy class, he has a dorky humor. He also gives extra credit in case you need it.

He seems like he is a good person. He's nice. He's big on following rules/instructions. You have to read the textbook properly/in depth to get an A. It's not an easy A but for anyone who wants an A it's doable.

This online class requires a lot of reading per week, and at the end of each chapter is a quiz. There is more then enough time to get it all done IF you prepare and read in advance. Mid Term and Final are 10 essay questions that are easy to answer, IF you've read the chapters and reviewed the study guide.

amazing fiscal hawk this guy is what has made me more inspired in pursuing my carrer as a politician/lawyer

Great Professor! I took Professor Goss for Political Science 1 online two semesters ago. Like all online courses you need to stay on top of all of the assignments and complete them to your best ability. His assignments were well thought out and extremely interesting (especially for someone who doesn't think they like history or Polisci)

If you are serious about Political Science and your education, Professor Goss is one of (if not THE) best professors you could have. He has passion and heart in his lectures and cares about the topic. His test is half multiple choice from the text and half essays from lectures so take LOTS of notes. The Final research paper is heavy but fun!

Took his class years ago, but Dr. Goss knows his stuff. Lots of reading. His humor is a little dorky but endearing. Lecture heavy and he goes through so much information, so prepare to take a TON of notes. Forget about skipping class because attendance is mandatory. Would definitely love to pick his brain about current political climate.

Initially took him for an online course and got a B, decided to take him the following semester for another Political Science course on campus. Prof. Goss is very passionate about politics and gives great lectures. His classes are textbook heavy and you are required to study a lot to pass the exams; beware the exams are difficult.

I took professor Goss for polsci 10. There was no homework ever assigned except for a semaster long research paper due at the end of the semester. His lectures consist of power points and test are half multiple choice half essay. I really enjoyed his class my Favorite teacher so far but be warned he's really tuff

I can honestly say i was afraid to take this class because i didn't know anything about political science or the terminology. I will say this teacher might have a lot of work but it was worth to learn and ask him questions his very carrying and helpful. I passed with an A, and i would take him again. Keep up with reading and the class will be easy

Passionate teacher with plenty of experience. His lectures are great and not politically partisan like some political science professors. Be sure to read the book for the exams or else you might have a hard time. Very professional and willing to entertain all sides to political debate.

Professor goss is amazing. He is so knowledgeable about politics and is really dedicated to his students. His class is easy going. Just lecture and notes but if you dont read the book, you wont pass. I definately recommend him.

If youre genuinely interested in majoring in political science, I would highly recommend taking his class. Yes the work load can be a lot and he only puts 4 exams and a 8 page essay in the grade book but its not impossible. I can say Goss really helped me become a better student and fueled my ambition for a career in political science.

I had Professor Goss in Spring 2019. One Word: awesome! His lectures were interesting and always willing to answer questions. His tests are not that easy so read the book and take GOOD lecture notes. He seemed intimidating but if you talk to him during office hours, he is actually chill and humble. Hard class but you will learn

Prof Goss is the best Professor you will get in LBCC. There is no other professor that will prepare you for the big universities. If you are shy of hard work, reconsider being a politcal science major because Prof Goss teaches scholars. The very best at lecturing along with the passion for participation. Everything you want from a Poli Sci Prof.

I took this class online. He only prefers E-Books. The class was definitely a challenge. Only critique, you have only one day to do an exam and he switches the days every time. This year our final exam is today Friday, 13th so no parties to me.

I've taken him for Polsc 1 & 10 and he is so nice! He may seem intimidating but if you go to his office hours and he sees you care about your grade you'll be fine! His lectures are interesting! take good notes! (pro tip: write the examples from his lectures and put them in your essay) He loves when you apply what we learn. I learned so much!

Goss is a challenging but fair professor with a mastery of American government, the political process, and a detailed framework for the major policy challenges face by the US public/government. He tries to be politically neutral/hidden but it's pretty clear he leans on econ conservatism, social liberalism. Brunt personality, fair grader, lots of EC

This class was definitely more on the difficult side. There are 2 or 3 discussion boards per week and with each DB is a Chapter Exam. Then there's a big Unit exam which is heavy duty. 3 hour time limit, 10 questions, 2 paragraph responses per question. Google will be your best friend for tests ;) He's a fairly easy grader if you actually try.

Goss is very intelligent and is a seasoned politician. This can come off as abrasive but it's nothing too crazy. He grades pretty harsh but has a lot of good feedback and points to teach. The workload is manageable, about a discussion board a week plus a few journal article reviews, and a final cumulative paper. Overall a good class, can't go wrong

I liked the class. Professor Goss is great, you can tell he is very passionate. Not much work: 1 discussion and 1-2 chapters of reading per week. 4 exams; multiple-choice section + essay section with 4 questions, minimum 3 paragraphs each. Also a student choice research paper due on the last day. He also offers much extra credit. Highly recommend.

Professor Goss is very passionate about what he teaches, and he is great at keeping a neutral position on the issues discussed. Weekly discussion posts, several exams, and a semester research paper. As long as you attend most of the lectures and read the textbook pages, you'll pass.

Professor Goss is an amazing professor. His lectures are really long and he is a strict grader, but I learned a lot from his class. He provides the text book for you online and as long as you watch his lectures and read the chapters you should get a passing grade.

He really knows what he's talking about and gives really beneficial information in his lectures. The weekly workload typically consists of a discussion post and a quiz. As long as you take good notes you'll do fine. Also, if you have any questions, he is willing to answer them. He's a solid professor.

Winter Session- Lecture, reading, exam, and discussion board daily (sometimes Saturdays are included ). A bit of a tough grader but as long as you answer the prompt you'll be fine. The Unit Exams are really annoying, 10 free response questions in 3 hours, expects a detailed paragraph each.

He was a great professor, but this was a winter term and was basically 6-7 hours of reading and taking notes in addition to an hour+ of lecture, daily. Maybe his longer term classes arent as tough, but getting the work done in 4 weeks was - a lot.

This is a solid choice, completely doable. Professor Goss has his lectures condensed and his criteria is very specific. He tells you what he wants for his assignments and he doesn't play with words, like leave out the main idea or vowel in a word to make it harder for us to understand on a test. I'm in the 3rd week of class and still enjoying it

Goss is truly a great professor for those who are looking to get more out of this class than just a GPA boost. He has a lot of great things to say during lecture and nearly everything in the class is based on lecture so be ready to show up! Easy grader if you pay attention to material because he gives you every answer you could need during class.

Professor Goss may be a tough cookie for the first couple of weeks at the beginning of the semester, however he leverages himself with the class once he knows where everyone stands and how easy or difficult the class understands him. Overall, terrific professor in my opinion.

I learned more from professor Goss than any other facility member at the school. For any political science major his POLSC 3 class is a must take. He will challenge your views and really make you think. Take good notes and this class is a breeze. All classes are lectures, but Goss makes them fun. He has a great sense of humor. TAKE THIS CLASS.

Take his class if you're willing to attend every meeting because every meeting is a different lecture. He has PowerPoint slides and it would be best to take notes because he doesn't post them. It's not hard to get a good grade in his classes, if you don't intend to take this class seriously then don't bother attending because you will fall behind.

This professor literally assigns hw every single day. He's ok but it can be overwhelming

Professor Goss is a strict grader on his exams, however, he also makes the expectations clear. If you are not quick at taking notes, he will not wait for you. I deeply enjoyed taking his class and would recommend him if you actually want to learn more about your country. He is deeply passionate and wants to see you succeed.

PROF GOSS IS AN AWESOME PROFESSOR, AND I WOULD TAKE ANY OF HIS CLASSES. HIS LECTURES REALLY DO TEACH YOU AND DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME, HE CARES ENOUGH TO SET THE BAR HIGH. HE IS VERY CLEAR AND ORGANIZED ON HIS CLASS STRUCTURE AND IF YOU FIND SOMETHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THEN YOU'RE PROBABLY JUST UNCOMFORTABLE AND NOT HIGH FUNCTIONING. THANK U PROF GOSS

Honestly, Prof Goss is a gem. His class will call on you to either impress or be mediocre. I earned an "A" in his class and I was happy to listen to his lectures once I understood that I will have to earn my grade, and he recognized my integrity and quality of work. He was the Mayor of his city, and kind enough to give me a college reccomendation.

Insightful. Brings to life the information in the textbook. Make sure to take notes, he will test you on information he shared in the lecture. Make sure to complete the discussion board questions. This class is not the type to start homework an hour before it's due. You need to read so you can speak into the discussion board.
