He is a great teacher who will help when asked.
Took him for individual taxes as well and would take his course again. Hes awesome!
Good teacher and I was able to learn a lot during this course
Professor Goldstein is a great teacher. He truly cares about his students succeeding and is great at communicating with his students. The subject can be difficult but he does his best to help you understand. Students will also gain a lot of hands on experience with different Tax software. Overall, he is one of the best teachers I've taken.
Great Instructor, he knows taxes inside and out. He is also willing to work with you in class, by Skype, and email. I highly recommend Professor Goldstein as your instructor for Tax 1 and Tax 2.
He is a Fantastic teacher, and available through Skype, email, and in class. I recommend him as a teacher for Tax 1 and Tax 2.
If you want to learn QUICK BOOKS in addition to rudimentary accounting, TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!!
Professor G is an amazing professor. He cares a lot for his students and works with you through any troubles you have in the class. He gives real world practice with quickbooks. Overall a great class and you learn the ins and outs of accounting. highly recommended
Amazing professor and great class! Professor very involved and wants you to succeed. Always available outside of class and very helpful. Get real world experience with QuickBooks. Do your reading and assignments and the quizzes and exams will be very similar.
Good professor, always willing to help his students, polite, friendly, organized, a lot of homework, some group activities, attendance mandatory or point reduction, accessible by email and Skype, and home quizzes.
This man was hands down the greatest instructor I have had thus far in college. Very energetic and looks out for the best interest of his students. The material was time consuming only because of the condensed form I chose a 6-week version which was heavy on time. I learned how to be an accountant and a great one. Dont think about it just sign up.
Everything you need to do to get an A in his class is clearly explained, AWESOME teacher, cares about his students and wants you to pass. Do not expect to barely do the minimum and assume you'll pass. Teaching method is easy to understand and follow. Will definitely be taking more of his classes.
Professor Goldstein has been my favorite professor thus far. I was nervous about taking accounting this semester, but he has made learning accounting a wonderful experience. He explains the chapter well and is available via Skype if you have a question about the homework. I plan on taking more of his classes next semester.
You're not going to get a better professor than Prof. G! You will leave his class with real world skills. He genuinely cares about the success of his students and is very passionate about teaching. An A grade is NOT difficult but you're going to EARN it. Go to class, participate and do the work and you're golden.
Take any class you can with Prof. G. You won't regret it. You will work hard for an A, but in exchange for that you will leave his class with useful real-world skills and a mentor for life. He gives teaching everything he's got. I've never had a professor as genuinely interested in his student's success.
He's a very nice and caring professor. He is always willing to help you before or after class and through Skype. There is homework every week and one quiz that must be done online. Mid terms and the Final are also done online and if you are smart, you'd print out the homework to help you with those. It is best not to miss a class if you want an A.
I would hands down recommend taking professor Goldstein, but ONLY if you truly care about your degree. If you're looking for a class to coast through, he isn't for you. He is the best professor I have had to date. He truly cares about you learning real world accounting, not just the test. He is passionate and experienced and extremely helpful.
I have never done this but this time I'm going to take some time to do this. Strongly recommend taking the class with prof. Goldstein, very passionate con the subject and on your learning. He knows the subject as he has been in the industry for over 20 years. Be ready to learn and work for your grade as is earn with the hard you put into the class.
The best teacher I have had in my semesters of college. He is very caring/helpful to those who try and want to succeed. He is also available through skype at all times for any questions you may have. The lectures are amazing and cover everything you need to know for HW and tests (1 of each every week). Would love to take for all accounting classes.
If you enjoy a structured class, no surprise quizzes or assignments and a professor that actually cares about his students, Professor Goldstein is the professor to take. He truly cares about his students and their understanding of the material and will answer any questions you may have. He is one of the best professors I've had at HCC!
Good classes and good content. I'd would take all his classes of managerial and taxation too.
Prof. Goldstein is hands down the respected, competent, and credible professional you want to learn accounting from. If you have a good work ethic, and a desire to learn, you will be successful. With over 2 decades of experience including CPA, accounting, and tax, Prof Goldstein is able to apply real world experience to supplement the textbook.
Great teacher. He explains each topic clearly and makes sure the class understands before moving on. He makes sure each student can feel free to approach him and ask questions. Workload is light, 1 chapter each week but don't procrastinate. I had a great time in his class and look forward to taking Tax 2 with him.
Great teacher!! His lectures are fun. Explains the material Thoroughly. He talks about his own life experience, which helps a lot. He answers his emails fast. His knowledge in accounting and tax is phenomenal. Show him that your a hard worker and he will help you with anything that you will need. The BEST teacher I've had so far!
He is an awesome teacher! You really get a feel for the material and he gives real world experiences. I loved taking his classes
He is a great professor.
Provides real life experience related to class.
Taken him for multiple classes TAX I & TAX II. He is an excellent teacher because he's organized, insightful, gives great lectures, and cares about how well his students preform. He also has goes out of his way to make sure everyone understands the material. He is probably the best instructor I've had at this school.
He is a good instructor. I would recommend to any student taking accounting or tax course. You need to put in the work but its not a lot.
Prof. Golstein is the real deal, if you want to not only pass, but also understand Financial Accounting he is a solid choice. If you show up & do the homework, you can get an A. He is a real CPA at a big firm, so he makes the material relatable to real world situations with ease. Homework takes a long time, no way around that.
Professor G is awesome. His real life experience is a major asset in the class. He helps you understand 'why' and not just 'how'. He makes it easy. Already signed up for him next semester.
awesome professor! He always give me the feedback when I have questions about lecture or homework. Highly recommend professor for people who want to take Intermediate accounting class at HCC.
In class we watch helpful videos that explain the topic. We typically have 1 hw assignment and 1 quiz due a week. Take him. Its an easy A
Prof. Goldstein is genuinely caring, understanding, but does not give A's away. Explains thoroughly, he is full of knowledge and great at giving future career advice. Took him for a 6-week course, extremely fast pace but he makes sure no one falls of the course.
I was a transfer student from a bigger school and decided to take financial and managerial with him and would highly recommend it to others. Easy two times a week in person-- and provides real world experience in a tough subject. Course load is a lot for summer but A is not hard to achieve. Very passionate for his subject and very funny.
Professor Goldstein is definitely one of the best I've had so far. He truly wants his students to understand and learn something from his classes. He is easily accessible out of class and even during the weekend, which helps out for us students with a full time job.
Professor Goldstein is such a genuine and good guy who actually cares about his students, and wants them to succeed in and out of the classroom. He loves to talk about his sky diving adventures and Chili's happy hour just to lighten the mood during a lecture heavy class, and make people laugh. The course is difficult, but he makes it a lot better.
The Homework he assigns helps you understand it. I took his summer session. learning accounting is harder during the summer. definitely would take another class of his during a regular semester.
This is the second time I have taken class with Prof. Goldstein and I cannot brag enough about his passion to teach his students. His knowlegde about the material is wonderful! He wants his students to excel and he will help you in any way you need for you to succeed! All in all, he's an A+++++ professor.
Originally I was going to pursue a degree in the medical field. However, Prof. Goldstein's teaching method has made me enjoy accounting a lot. In fact, I switched my major to accounting.
Professor Goldstein is very passionate about what he teaches and what he does. It's a tough class but if you're dedicated and do your best, he will work with you. He makes the class fun and encourages helping others in class. I've taken him twice and if he offered a different class outside if accounting, I would take it!
Good teacher take this class in the summer it is 10x easier then taking it in fall or spring. pick Goldstein he is the man!!!!!
Professor Goldstein is a great guy who is always accessible and willing to help. He is willing to meet outside the classroom and work with his students so that you can better understand the subject. He makes lectures go by quickly by cracking a few jokes, or breaking out his skydiving video. You can always catch him rocking his Hollister apparel.
he is a great professor you do not feel time, he keeps the class is interesting
Prof. Goldstein is a great instructor who does an exceptional job at explaining the material. He's not an instructor who just reads the textbook to you.
Prof G is the best!! Hands down. I ended up taking a total of 4 classes with him. It would have been 6 but HCC decided to sacrifice quality education for politics. Do yourself a favor and take any class he is teaching. Show up and do the work and you will get an A.
This is an honest assessment about an honest guy. I tried this class online with a different professor and had to drop. Professor Goldstein was the difference maker for me and financial accounting making sense. He is engaging, easy to reach outside of school, and genuinely cares about his students and their success.
Overall a very good class. He really pushes you to do the best work you can, some of the online work can be tedious, but that's a problem with every class. He is firm, but fair. Overall I would highly recommend his class.
Great teacher, every quiz and exam is taken online via My Accounting Lab
great teacher
I was nervous to take this class but professor G made it extremely easy to learn the material. He loves teaching and he really cares about his students. He also really relates the material to real world situations because he works full-time as an accountant. I want to take him for all my other accounting specific courses. He is amazing!
This is a very tough class, but professor Goldstein makes it enjoyable. Participate and don't skip class and you should be fine. There is a lot of homework and assignments are lengthy! If you are dedicated, you'll be good. If not I don't recommend this class.
Great professor , cares about the students education. There is a lot of homework to do , paying attention is the key and attendance helps too.
Professor Goldstein is an amazing professor. He genuinely wants you to learn about accounting and he tries his absolute best to make sure his students understand the material. Do not wait until last minute to do your homework it takes a very long time! It was not difficult at all just very time consuming. Over time the homework gets easier as well!
This class is a useful tool as a first step to prepare for business and accounting major in the future. Professor Goldstein is really passionate about his job. He is careful and understand what his students need in class. Homework and quiz due 1 week. He gives take-home midterm and final exams.
Overall, his class is amazing, always willing to stop and help others behind. Also, he is easy to go through the class plus offers deals to make his class experience more appealing. He is very funny, and sometimes like to talk about anecdotes which can cheer you up and distract for other things. I recommend his class 100%.
Great Professor. I would take him again because he teaches very well. Homework is long but it's good because it helps you for the future and help you in your life in this period like doing your taxes by your self. Attendance is very very important. This class is fun and easy A if you work hard and smart.
Mr. Goldstein is a great professor and very knowledgeable. However, it's recommended to not miss class because each class offers valuable info. The only thing you have to prepare yourself is the take-home mid term. The mid terms is usually 13 questions but has several parts within each question. However, he's a very good teacher and he's helpful.
Jeffrey is a very professional and respected CPA. He is very helpful and clear with the instructions to pass with an A! He is very knowledgeable and useful for any long term experience. He introduces 'quick books', which is very helpful! Makes accounting enjoyable.
If you are looking out for a great professor who actually teaches you not only Financial Accounting, Taxes class , but also gives great career advises, then this is the right professor for you. I guarantee you that you'll never regret choosing him as the person in charger of introducing you to the accounting world.
Great professor!very passionate about teaching the subject. With his experience as an accountant. full of knowledge and uses real world examples, slides a few jokes in. Clear instruction . However, Do not wait to do your HW and Quizzez! They do take a lot of time and a lot of studying to fully understand the concepts,no late grades accepted.
Great teacher id love for all my teachers to be like this. He makes the course fun but you're going to have to pay attention or you'll miss something important. Really recommend this course and professor
he cool straight forward and down to earth great teacher break things down very well for everyone to understand even though he smart as heck
This professor is a fair and caring teacher. I took him for my accounting class and I was scared at first but after getting to know the professor and learning how he teaches i felt calmer. He gives out weekly homework with 1 quiz. One midterm and one final. He also does two project, one in class and one outside.
If you are looking for a good Financial Accounting class take his. it is very educational, and you do learn a lot the work is a little hard but it is worth it make sure you give it your all.
A great teacher who truly loves his job. His course is challenging, but at the end of the course you will come out with a true comprehension of the material; you truly have to earn your grade in this class. I took him for an almost 3 hour night class and his energy and passion for accounting keeps me engaged and awake the entire class.
Gives a lot of real world examples. Honest in approach of materials, and weaknesses or strengths of topic in use.
Awesome professor.
Do your homework and study hard, you will pass this class. He does his job
Great professor. He really cares about whether you learn the material. Real world knowledge and examples. Lots of opportunities for As. Would (and have) taken again and again.
PROFESSOR GOLDSTEIN IS THE BEST PROFESSOR I'VE EVER HAD.
Good Teacher
This professor has a clear assignment-structure. It is easy to follow and you are able to find out what to expect. You will learn in this class but have to work to learn the material. You will have plenty of Tax experience by the end of the class.
This is my fourth or fifth class with Professor Goldstein and I would love if I had the option to take for Finance and Business classes as well.
Professor Goldstein, provides excellent lectures and relates how it is applied in the real world with his experience. He doesn't get involved with technology too much so expect using paper in class. He should begin recording his lectures so students can review concepts that they didn't grasp. Just show up and make an effort you will pass.
This guy may not be the most well-liked but expectations are very clear. He can sound condescending. However, if you do your work and meet expectations, you will be fine.
Professor Goldstein is a great professor. He definitely knows his material and makes it interesting. He makes sure the students understand. I would greatly recommend him.
Tax pro.
Professor is very caring and makes sure you know the material. Keeping the information pretty clear. Attendance is very important! Great Class!
great professor, please do everything that he wants you to do and you will pass this class, study hard . I will take his again, he does his job.
Professor keeps the class clear and cut. Grading scale gives no room for a day off or an off assignment. He likes to play music while your working on Drake tax returns. The homework and quizzes are not that hard as long as you follow the reading.
His lectures are amazing. You have a lot of work and practice to learn about the taxes. It is an easy A if you complete your homework. I recommend everyone to take the class with him.
Love Professor Gold. Relatable and cares.
Best of the best
He is an amazing professor. I enjoy his class. Every day I learn something new about taxes. I take his classes again
GREAT PROFESSOR, WHO IS VERY DETAILED WHEN TEACHING COURSE MATERIAL.
Awesome teacher! Be sure to take him if you are a accouting major! You will learn and laugh!
Direct and detailed teaching method. Is concerned with students learning the material not making it impossible to understand.
Hes very clear on what hes expecting. Hes willing to go over and make sure you understand the material but you have to try. I will be looking to take him again for future classes.
Mr. Goldstein is a great accounting teacher. I had taken this class before with a different professor and had to withdraw because I wasn't able to absorb the information from her. Mr. Goldstein goes quickly but he explains things in a way that is understandable.
When I took this class I was very happy I decided to take this professor because he is very passionate about the subject. This class was hard at times but I felt that I learned more than I thought. Overall, I'm hoping to find more accounting classes to take with this professor due to the way he taught this class.
Professor Goldstein is a solid professor. He is very experienced and knows the material. Minimal homework assignments and 1 quiz every week, the quizzes are also very predictable and easy to prepare for. He wants to help you, not fail you. Attendance is not manditory, however, the information given in the lectures will help you.
Hey whether you have to take this class or not, Definitely would recommend 10 out 10. This professor has a great way to explain the content. You must be ready to work once arrive to class. If you need extra assistance, he would work with you around your schedule to meet and go over anything you are missing. Do not miss any class, is a lot of work.
A good professo.
He is a great professor. He is funny and help students. Moreover, the course is not hard as long as we do all the assignments.
Professor Goldstein, is knowledgeable, explain information thoroughly. Even though at the beginning the class was hard for me as long as you do your homework and do the assignments the information gets better. I enjoy learning about accountability.
The professor is very flexible as long as you are ready to put up the work. You will learn or you will quit. Worth it, but it will not be an easy class to pass by.
Professor Goldstein is great professor. He is very knowledgeable of the material he delivers. He is very thorough with explaining material. The homework he assigns prepares you for the end unit test. I must admit I took this class last semester however, I came in without any prior knowledge. I wish I would have taken his class first.
Lean on the Course materials both the text book and the online homework.
Great professor but class is a lot of work and you cannot miss or you will lost
Professor G is awesome! Very knowledgeable in accounting/taxes. Took him for intermediate accounting as well and will be taking him again for any classes he teaches.
overall a good professor
Very interesting and helpful course.
If you want someone that seriously cares about wanting you to get a better career in life, he's gonna push you because everyone in his eyes is special to be taught the ways of Taxation and Accounting.
He's a good professor, you just have to make sure you learn and know the material.
Learning from this professor has given me more interest in the tax accounting field.
If you want to learn this is the professor to take the class with. It is not an easy A type class but an A is a possibility, as long as you do your homework, participate and read. You will finish this class as a certified tax preparer.
This teacher is very knowledgeable, and he gladly share his personal work experience with the students. You have to study hard to get a good grade, but it is worth it.
Prof G is very knowledgeable. I had him for 2 semesters. You can tell that he is passionate about the material and he knows his stuff. He is very flexible as long as you are ready to put in the work. If you want to know anything about Accounting or Tax, he's your man.
Great professor. Material was difficult, you have to pay a lot of attention and focus. But he makes it a lot easier, he was very helpful. Would not like to take this course with any other professor.
He is a very good professor and very helpful
very easy professor. quizzes are short . he is very funny and has some interesting stories. show up to class as you will be doing tax returns.
I would like to say that the professor knows the material well.
