Professor Goodman is a really good teacher. He takes the time to explain things clearly. If you go to class he will go over everything that will be on the test. It is a pretty easy class too. There is like 4 tests and a final, and 4 papers that are worth a small percentage of grade. I recommend Goodman to anyone!

Dr. Goodman is my favorite. He's down-to-earth, fun, and makes you care about the content. Lots of open class discussion. Fairly easy class, he gives study guides and easy assignments/papers. Tests are mostly lecture, so go to class. Plus, he is CUTE. Take this class with him, you won't regret it.

In Psych 100, your grade comes from 4 exams, lab time and very few homework assignments and class participation. The exams are challenging and require a lot of studying. In class lectures are fun and entertaining. The tests are a combination of in-class notes and examples from the text.

Good professor overall, you can tell he enjoys the material he teaches . However it drove me nuts when he sent the lecture powerpoints (which he recommends you print off for class) over email at 9:00 p.m. or later the night before we needed them. Not ideal for planners. I would suggest he post all his lecture slides on D2L for the week instead.

I love Professor Goodman. He makes class extremely interesting and truly cares about the material. He uses stories and studies rather than slide by slide PowerPoint notes which makes class fly by. Study for the tests and the class is no problem.

Dr. Goodman is by far one of the best professors I've had during my undergrad. His lectures are engaging and relevant. He takes time to get to know his students and it's clear that he's passionate about the subject. Minimal assignments and readings, just make sure to pay attention during the lectures!

I loved Dr. Goodman, I wish I could take all of my classes with him. He's super funny and connects really well with students. He incorporates lots of empirical studies into his slides so that we have examples of the topics we're learning, and the work is pretty diverse between papers and tests. Take him if you can, you won't regret it!

One of the most genuine professors at UWEC. Goodman is approachable and knowledgable about all aspects within psychology. The topics we discuss are eye opening and highly interesting. Attendence is not mandatory, but personally I look forward to the days I have his class. He truly is one of the best so if you have the opportunity, TAKE HIS CLASS!!!

Dr. Goodman is by far the BEST professor I have had throughout college. He is clearly passionate about what he does and the content he teaches, making his class that much more enjoyable. Dr. Goodman is easy to approach and I found him to be very relatable and understanding as well. I cannot say enough good things about this professor!

Professor Goodman was amazing !!! 10/10 recommend taking him for your capstone project if you have the option to. He is a super caring, respectful, and helpful teacher. The class itself is based off of daily "quizzes" and the final capstone project --- which is a majority of your final grade. He makes the project super easy and is very approachable
