Fun and enjoyable history instructor. It may be true that all history teachers are left-biased, but this is the *least* biased instructor you'll have, which is a definite plus, although he is biased. You'll get a lot more out of the lectures than political garbage, which is more than I can say about the other history teachers here, haha.

If you only listen to Goldman teach, he sounds like an ordinary fun teacher. Only when you go and do research can you apreciate the fact he has covered all aspects and penetrated the subject he is teaching. He does it as though its appearent truth but if you read whats out there you apreciate his lectures and grow to respect him as a historian.

The best Movie you will see all semester. No flashy special effects, but the plot makes up for it. If you want a history class to perform it's function as a foundation course, namely correcting your view of the world to more peaceably coincide with the forces that shaped it, take this course.

I took his class online and wasn't satisfied at all with the work or tests. His study guides and homework had so many typos in it and were just generally confusing. I honestly felt like I didn't learn anything this whole semester! The book is a must for the class as he doesn't provide notes.

He's actually very good at lectures but he isn't very clear. The essay questions are SO HARD to find. You can write 2 paragraphs for each question and he will still tell you to expand. The essay questions aren't even related to the work! Stupid Santa!

DONT TAKE HIM. I went to every class. Hardest and worst professor I've ever had. He gives only half the information on his power points you need to pass the tests. Mostly verbal and wasn't clear on it from the start. If you turn in the essay questions, all he will probably write on them is "more." Nothing "more" is what he will do for you with it.

Really good at lectures but he has a PERCENTAGE SYSTEM. Therefore, you can get high Bs on exams, and a A on everything else and still end up with a B. Only teacher I had with this system. That's a really bad thing cause I worked my behind off and all I got was a B. If it was a point system (like all my other teachers) I would had a A.

The exams are very easy and not accumulative (even the final, super helpful) He even gives you floater "Vocab Quizzes" online with the verbatim answers he wants. You do need to attend for lecture notes, but he's a fun guy to listen to. LECTURES ARE IMPORTANT! And you don't really have to read the book. Highly Recommend.

He is a amazing professor, and I'm always laughing in his class. All of his exam questions come from his lectures, and each exam has 3 essay questions from the book . He will get you five essay questions to answer ahead of time, and he'll check to see if they are right. Three of the five will be on the exam. As long as you try it's a easy "A".

I had his express class. Miss ANY classes you will fail. He does not post PowerPoints and gives no extra credit. His tests are separated into two parts: essays and multiple choice and essay questions are on your syllabus. Every class is a two hour lecture where notes are KEY. You can use notes for quizzes which are just definitions.

His exams are also crystal clear considering he gives you the exam as your study guide, you just have to be willing to read the book for the answers (usually the first sentence of new paragraph for answer).

Professor Goldman has the best lecture class at TCC!!! Be aware though, you must attend to pass. Just about everything you need to make an 'A' on his tests is in the LECTURES. Yes, the book is needed. The mini essay questions he assigns from the book (and gives you ample time to prepare) WILL SHOW UP ON THE TEST! Quizzes are a cake walk.

Also make sure you do well because theres no more than 12 grades in the class so if you mess up on one, it can mess up your whole grade.

I really enjoyed taking this class online. It was very easy, and the work took little time to do. If you take the class online you will have 1 assignment every week for about 2 or 3 weeks, then he provides a study guide for the test, which literally goes in order of the questions on the actual exam. Would highly recommend taking this class.

Learned what I needed to learn to pass the class but was not happy with the topics he spoke about it lectures. Almost always related his points to his political views.
