fair assignments and exams

He's pretty serious. No nonsense type of prof. Listen and you'll get lots out of the course.

Tough course, but Goldsman makes it worthwhile. If you have questions, he's always in his office.

Thought he was more than OK. Emailed him with questions on weekends and he replies on weekends. He prepared us weel for the final

Merci, il est bilingue

Perhaps McGill's BEST Professor!!! Demanding, exacting, but very clear and organized. Goes out of his way to help! If only all Professors were like Prof. Goldsman...!!!

He is a very cool teacher, extremely helpful. Has an awesome sense of humor and really makes accounting intersting. Anyone who doesn't enjoy his teaching doesn't enjoy accounting or doesn't want to put in any effort into his classes.

LOVED HIM! LOVED HIM! LOVED HIM!

Great great teacher. Honestly, he knows his stuff. Listen in class...and study your course notes. He's great!!

knows his stuff.... et il parle francais!!!!

Funny and knowledgeable

THE BEST IN MCGILL

Cool guy. He gives funny and relevant examples in class. I really enjoyed him. Watch our for the exams though.....read his notes, NOT THE BOOK.

Really good teacher. One of the best I ever had! Really clear!

He is okay... He is a hard marker tho but he knows what he is talking about. The course is very heavy....alot of material to cover.

Very helpful & clear. His tests are extremely fair - no surprises, and fair marking. If you do the practice problems, you'll ace the course.

this guy is awesome, among the best profs management has to offer. there for his students, never hesitates to help...overall a great guy!

Very clear in his lectures, responds really fast to emails and makes tax less boring than it is. Great teacher but DO NOT READ THE BOOK, read the course pack.

I thought the same thing as these raters before I took him. Tax isn't an easy subject, but he gives you all the tools and help you'll ever need to succeed in accounting. Take it from someone who hates almost every other accounting prof in the school.

He Is a great teaching with a hard subject. He does a great job

Best teacher I've had at McGill. Funny and nice and always there to help. Makes tax seem simple. Exams are very fair.

best teacher!!!He is always available for students..very helpful!!!

Best teacher I had to date at McGill. Helpful, clear and makes the class very interesting.

I wished all my accounting profs were like Goldsman. Great lecture note package.

Toygh but great course. prof. Goldsman is great at getting the material across. Lecture note package rates an A.

Onr of the best I've had. Interesting classes and really gook lecture notes. MUST keep up with the readings.

Prof. knows how to keep it interesting and helpful. Great lecture note package. You have to keep up to date!!!!

Enjoyed the course - Goldsman's lecture notes are great. Great office hours and helpful prof.

This class is DAMN hard, one of the hardest I've taken at McGill -- soooo much info. BUT Goldsman is one of the best profs I've had in my life! Exams are difficult but couldn't be more fair! He's hilarious, and makes an otherwise incredibly boring subject quite tolerable, and dare I say even *enjoyable* at times.

Really interesting ... even if you don't like accounting

BEWARE!Interesting lectures, pretty useful info, explains well.But the final exam killed all the enthusiasm, threw at us some really ambiguous stuff he never taught.Avoid at all costs if u hold your GPA close to your heart...

He teaches both tax classes for the accounting major. He explains very well what's going on. He knows his stuff. You end up wanting to work in taxation after his classes.

Prof. Goldsman's lecture notes are extremely helpful they are a must. Real interesting class with a touch of humour. He's always available for questions whether in his office or by way of email.

Very informative class. Goldsman is the Tax man. Makes this difficult subject quite interesting. Get his tax notes. Helpful in and out of class. But you gotta work for your mark.

Solid prof. Knows his stuff inside out. Always willing to answer questions outside of class. He has plenty to cover, which is not his fault. Coursepack is a 100% must and go to class, its the little things he talks about in class that pop up on the exams.

Above average prof. Plenty of office hours. The Tax 1 course is loaded with material. 2 midterms, final and 3 assignments. Lots of reading and details in tax laws. Know CCA methods and calculations.

Very knowledgable professor, but the material is dense and the exams are quite hard but reasonable at the same time. Focus on the practice tests and homeworks. It is not humanly possible to know everything you read in the book, but he will only ask the basics...don't panic.

For a tough course, prof. Goldsman does a great job at keeping your interest. His notes are extremely helpful. He's easily available in his office.

One of the better profs.. great course

Goldsman is your go to guy for Tax 1. The coursepack is really useful so make sure you buy it. Loads of material to memorize as well as 2 midterms, 3 assignments and final. Pretty much do all the practice exams that he gives you, useful for exam prep. Clear in class and answers students questions well. One of the better accounting professors!

He is the best prof. i have ever had in accounting courses and the only one who knows what he is talking about. lectures are extremely important, and try to write his examples in the class.he really knows what he is talking about.

Second time around with Professor G. The class is a bit more chill than the first one as only 1 midterm, 2 assignments and a final. We finished class two weeks before the term ended (which was pretty sweet). Once again, great prof as he is always well prepared, answers questions thoroughly and is available to help you in his office. Take him!

Great prof, really interested in helping students understand the material. Textbook is useful for examples and practice questions, but his coursepack is really great for studying - has all the material you'll need for the final/midterms. Overall great prof, definitely one of the best I've had a McGill.

loves what he teaches,funny helpful etc. A lot of memorization in tax 1 but u definitely know what to expect for the midterms. The final can be a tad harder because the class average is usually high. 3 assignments: fair and doable. 2 midterms: u?ll ace them if you know ur stuff.HIS COUSEPACK IS AMAZING. Don?t waist valuable time reading the book.

Great Guy and Teacher. Funny Comments. He's there to teach you the foundation of taxes, not to be a pain... Very Good Class Overall. Exams are fair.

Overall a very good teacher! I loved his little side stories to liven up the class. Professor Goldsman just gives the impression of a "jolly good man" :) Tips for Tax 1: Take him over profs in other sections (great course pack!) For midterms, you WILL know what to expect for 2 out of the 3 questions! Final is comprehensive and so requires more mem

Best Tax Prof ever!!

Really liked his teaching style with stories and all. Always available for questions. Tax is a lot of memorization but he makes it that much easier by letting you know what exactly is crucial to know for exams and what is irrelevant. Assignments and past exams are helpful. I'm taking him for tax 2.

Such a funny guy! Great teacher, maybe the most “human” I’ve had at McGill. He always has a story to help give relevance to the examples. Do the practice exams he gives and memorize the solutions and the assignments. Very nice guy and approachable (just don’t bombard him before the midterm and final exam). Strong recommendation

The exams are hard and overall very tricky. It's a memorization course. He goes over the material very quickly even though it is clear sometimes that the class is not following. Advice: learn to adapt to this class' pace and style quickly, or risk having to re-take it like I did.

Such a funny guy! He always has a story to help give relevance to the examples. Do the practice exams he gives and memorize the solutions and the assignments. Very nice guy and approachable (just don’t bombard him before the midterm and final exam). Tax 2 is significantly harder than Tax 1. Strong recommendation.

Has great examples and anecdotes from his personal life. Really clear with the material and manages to make tax kind of fun. Really, really nice guy and underrated prof. Tests are pretty straightforward but it's tax so pay attention to details!

"The Taxman" by excellence, the go-to professor for Tax classes. Very good professor, he even helped me on extra curricular stuff.

Larry makes a boring subject as interesting as he can. He goes quickly, but is always ready to slow down and repeat if you need him to. Very knowledgeable about the subject, and available to help whenever you need it. Exams are very straightforward, and if you put the least bit of effort into them you can do well. Amazing teacher.

Lots of material coverage, but Goldsman's lecture notes are a great help. Office hours are a help if you need to see him as he' s pretty available. Quickly replied to my email questions.

Goldsman makes all the tax rules tolerable. Speaks quickly, lots of material. Review his old exams, they will get you through. Lots of office hours.

do the previous exam and you will be more than fine. Make sure to understand at the beginning, everything come back again and again.

Prof Goldsman is great! I'd say one of the best I've had at McGill so far. He makes the material as interesting as possible, and is a really kind person. Try to get your hands on old exams, they're really helpful. Also, beware, the first midterm is quite easy, the second not so much. Final was bearable!

Professor Goldsman is a great prof! He makes the course as interesting as possible. Beware, tax is a heavy course load with lots of rules to memorize. With that said, his exams are fair, especially considering he gives you practice midterms and finals.

Great lecture notes accompanied with real life examples to get the material accross. It's a Tax course, be ready for the technical stuff. Not sure if the Income Tax Act helped me in the course. Prof was always available to see me outside of class.

Very technical course. Goldsman will get you through it. Make sure you get his lecture notes and review past exams which he makes available. Very approachable in and outside the classroom
