He is an excellent teacher!! He explains the whole process of the Criminal Justice System. I had him for two hours a week on Monday Night and he has great stories to tell his class. Yet there is a 12pg paper due at the end of the semester but it's easy.

Great teacher. Got to go on a ride along for class. A great deal of information was learned from this class

very boring teacher, monotone and uninteresting. difficult tests, but passable with much work. make sure you're ready to study. pretty much all short answer tests.

he's not that bad boring but with reading you will pass. likes to belittle people but other than that he os a good guy take home midterm and final i didnt have quizzes but his other class did and i hear they are rough i got a b+

He's a smart guy, and forgets that we're collegue students that need some excitement. Hard quizzes but if you do good in midterm, final, and term paper you'll get an A or B. Go to class, he doesn't like it when people are absent. Be patient.

Make sure to go to class and know your notes. Know the IRAC writing style and your case law and you will do fine on the take home midterm and final. Really good class if you want to go to law school otherwise kind of intense.

nice guy, study for your quizzes!! midterm is take home so that should be an easy grade- for the research paper you can observe court and write about it... all in all i took it as a night class and enjoyed it- always out at least 30 minutes early!!

yes you have to work, and read the book-- but come on people this class is not that bad! if you are just taking it as a filler class dont take this one, this is a class where you work hard but learn alot. if this is a field you are planning on going into- then take him, if not look elsewhere

he's a good teacher. he lets his evening classes out, and let us vote on the take-home midterm and final. he expects you to do the readings, and that's where most of the test questions come from, but the notes further the reading, and it's a good class if you're interested in CJ as a major.

enjoyed this class- took it as a night class and he always let us out early- take home midterm and take home final.... if you get any lower than a B it's your own fault

Class is hard to stay interested, but the content is extremely interesting!!! I would take it again.

He is not the best teacher, but this class was not that difficult. 2 quizzes, midterm, final, and 10 page paper. That is all. If you really read the material and maybe take some notes as you go along, this class will be pretty easy. You might want to sit up front because he can be quiet at times.

This class was wonderful. READ THE BOOK because tests/quizzes are mostly right off that material. He does not like to mess around so pay attention, take brief notes, and ask questions. He might seem a bit short with people, but don't worry.....that is his nature. I would take another class with him anyday. ONLY thing difficult is terminology.

This class requires alot of effort but it pays off in the end. I really enjoyed him as a professor though.

experienced, smart guy... the book is pretty much all you need for a good grade in the class. His lectures are interesting and based mostly on his experiences in the field of criminal justice. Everybody I talked to got a 100% on the final research paper.

while yes his voice is monotoned, the subject(s) are interesting enough to get your through the class. he is a wonderful professor though and is very willing to help his students with something they might not understand. can't wait to take him for CRMJ 390. he is great!

A somewhat hard professor to take. He challenged you every step of the way. Yet he was helpful, and his special topics courses are very interesting. The courts and procedures classes are pretty hard, but as long as you pay attention and study, you should b fine.

For everyone who says class is hard, you probably shouldnt be going to this school.Midterm & last quiz, both open book, theres plenty of extra credit on both to get above an A & the only down side is the 10-12 page paper. Just make sure you read. Other then that, he is a good teacher, knows his stuff & you would have to be stupid not to get an A!!

One of the most difficult CRMJ classes here. BUT he's not a bad guy at all. He's helpful if u have questions. 5 quizes (very difficult), 1 research paper (10pgs), and a final (difficult) all are m/c. I got an A in this class somehow--extra credit!! but its a managable class overall. Wish, his quizes were easier. Thats what gets u!

Prof. G cares he was willing to help me improve my grade with extra credit. He expects you to read the assignments and he prepared to discuss the topics in class. Papers and quizes are not bad if you study.

Dr. G rocks and his class is straight forward and easy to follow. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is interested in criminal justice field.

One of the best classes, especially if you are interested in Criminal Law. The legal opinions can be difficult, and the reading is tough unless you're interested, but you will learn so much it is unbelievable. Goldschmidt has a mono-toned voice so the lectures can drag a bit, but he is a great prof who really cares. Highly recommended for pre-law.

Highly recommended Dr.G

Took a couple of weeks to get to liking him. Very helpful. Legal Analysis quizzes are hard at first, make sure you understand IRAC, otherwise you will have a hard time. Ask questions, read cases, and you should do fine. Buy book

not an easy class. However you will learn a lot and from a great Prof. Goldschmidt is one of the best CRMJ profs. at Loyola

Jona Goldschmidt is a great guy. He provided help for every test and homework, responded every email accordingly and had generous office hours. Dr. Goldschmidt was incredibly helpful about seeking internships as well, vowing to do his best. At first, I misjudged his character, however realized the man is extremely reasonable, realistic and fair.

Tough class, no doubt. Quizzes and final are very difficult unless you study rigorously. However, unless you put zero effort into the class, you will learn a lot. Goldschmidt is a great professor, though. Lectures are dry, but they will help you a lot if you pay close attention. He is also very helpful and extremely knowledgable.

Great teacher and great class. Really informative and teaches like a law class. Must be able to talk and argue because he often asks for opinions. He also has some cool stories and is the internship coordinator so useful to know.

Dr. G is very knowledgeable and knows what he's talking about. However, his lectures can be dry and monotone. Also, he teaches like a law professor, so be prepared to put anywhere between a fair to an excruciating amount of work in for his class. An A is possible, but make SURE you keep up with the reading and study hard. Text book is crucial.

Dr. Goldschmidt is a great professor. Criminal Law is not the most exciting of subjects so lectures can definitely be dry but he is a good professor and knows the subject. Make sure to write down all the examples he uses in class, as these will often come up on the online, open note, quizzes. He is very open to giving extensions and clarification

5 sakai quizzes and a final. Quizzes are tough and ambiguous unless you know the law inside and out. He can get monotone so you really need an interest in the material to pay attention. Gives opportunity to argue points back after each quiz. One easy research paper and offers half a letter grade in extra credit.

Dr. G is awesome. A lot of students didn't like the class because it was taught like a law class. If you learn to apply the law to the question, the answer is clear. In law, it is possible that one answer is more right than the other. He has great stories and it would benefit you to participate and ask questions.

Dr. G is one of my favorite professors ever. He is a really smart and cool guy. He is encouraging, super helpful, and easy to work with. He can come off a bit boring but that's only if you don't choose to put in your all and work hard. Take him for all course. You won't regret it. One of the best professors Loyola has to offer.

Goldschmidt is a very wise man. He is very experienced in his field and the law. Was is a lawyer. His lectures can be very boring and bland. As long as you pay attention in class and have the book you will be alright. 7 quizzes online and lowest dropped, online final, and a paper that you will get a 100% if you follow his guidelines

He is a great professor! People complaining either didn't try or go to class. All of the quizzes are online and they are open note. No excuse to do bad in this class. I would definitely take him again.

Loved this class. It was super interesting and he was always there to answer any questions! The online class requires a lot of reading, and you have to watch several videos a week, but it's all interesting. Papers are all super easy A's, as long as you know the material.

While the quizzes are online, they are very tough & specific. Sometimes he'll have 3 or 4 different concepts all within the same question. That said, he does drop the lowest quiz grade and allows you to try and argue points back in class. He's also hilarious when he starts telling stories. It's a tough class, but if you put in effort, its worth it.

While the class itself is very challenging, Goldschmidt himself is amazing! He's full of stories and is good at explaining complex concepts. The quizzes are tough but not impossible, he drops your lowest quiz grade too. I'd take another class with Goldschmidt if I could

I LOVE DR. G!!! He's one of the best profs at Loyola. His class is difficult though. You definitely have to work hard for your grade. If you're thinking of going to law school, he was great advice and he's a great prof overall. 10/10.

A lot of people don't like him, but if you get to know he's hilarious and just wants the best for his students. While his quizzes are hard, he lets you argue points back in class, which also helps to understand the material more. Also one paper that seems tough but is actually pretty easy, he's also an easy grader in terms of the paper

Goldschmidt is an amazing professor. He is very experienced in his field and the law. As long as you pay attention in class and have the book you will be alright. 6 quizzes online and lowest dropped, online final, and a paper that you will get a 100% if you follow his guidelines. Attendance isnt mandatory but to do well on the quizzes you should go

Dr. G is easily one of the best professors I've had at loyola. He's super funny and kind, and a really agreeable professor. At first he may seem a bit intimidating, but he's actually extremely approachable and really cares about his students. He lets you argue back points on quizzes, and is always willing to help with assignments outside of class.
