Good Professor, tests are multiple choice w/ essay questions. Hard grader, fair

If you take notes and memorize those notes for tests, you'll get an A. She grades on a curve. GREAT PROFESSOR!

Fair, Expects specifics on the essays of the test, only notes 2 tests, 1 final, and 2 small projects. Study and you will do well. She give participation/attendence points worth up to 5%, extra credit.

I thought she was a pretty good professor and she got everyone involved. She does pick on people, and she does give attendance and extra credit. Two midterms a final, and you have to write a fake contract and go to a court hearing. Pretty neat class!

She makes you write your name on the back page of the exam so she doesn't discriminate, which is the stupidest thing I've ever heard...if a teacher is afraid of discriminating, she shouldn't teach. But memorize everything and you'll do well.

She makes Business Law very entertaining. She is a very good professor. The essay portion of her tests are some what hard.

She's a very hard grader, but also a great teacher. Her notes are excellent. Just memorize them and you'll do well. She's always willing to help her students. Highly recomended

SHE IS AWESOME!!! I LOVE HER!!! SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER AT CSUN! She explains everything a million times to make sure everybody unserstood the material covered. She is VERY helpful. The only negative is you cant turn in late work! That sucks, so keep up. All and all, she is a FANTASTIC teacher!!!

she is among the best prof i've had at CSUN. she makes class fun and interesting.

Its a law class, so you pretty much know what the course requires. She grades kinda hard, but if you do the homework you should be alright. The class is entertaining, which is seldom found in undergrad law classes. I recommend her.

Great Professor...hard grader on exams, hard grader on homework, and a little unfair at times.

great teacher. grades hard on her tests.

interesting lectures. makes the subject interesting. funny, makes a lot of jokes, although HARD grader on tests and assigments. you have to do your HW and come prepared to class every time. if you are interested in the subject - take her.

I really enjoyed her class. Its definetly not an easy class but if you pay attention and want to do well you can. She is very helpful and clear when explaining material. I think she is one of the best Blaw profersors at csun. I am planning on taking another class with her in the future.

Very Helpful, Lectures are clear, Fun to listen to, tests are extremely difficult.

Very Nice! Funny! hard class but make note cards and memorize a lot and u'll do fine. Lectures interesting, court visitation, make a contract. Must brief cases for Homework. Doesn't collect homework, but u need to do it, cause she might call on you. She takes points off. Overall great teacher, know

Her class is fun. She is very energetic, but the exams are totally unfair. there is Min. one esay question in each exam which worth anywhere between 60-70% of the exam. She is very tough on the essays. u gotta be perfect to score good on the esay. The exam grading disrtibution sucks.

She's a great teacher! I don't know why people complain so much, I got A's on all her tests. I liked her class, but the tests are challenging. You have to know your stuff and you'll do fine. Be very thorough on essays and that's how you rack up points. She made me want to learn, it was a fun class.

Her lectures are so interesting. I considered pursuing law after taking this class. YES, this class is challenging. Prepare for a workload of assignments. You shouldn't take this class if you already have 2 other classes that require 10+ hours per week. She's not an easy grader either.

Just as everyone else on this page states, her exams are hard. And Mrs. Golden tells you that from day one. The actual lecture is great. Sheexplines everything so clearly. Her class dicussionsshould bring a smile to your face. They are alwasy interesting. They will help you for the exam. You will remember her examples!

She is excellent at explaining the material and giving good examples for the class to follow. Her tests on the other hand are extremly hard and unfair. Her good examples are not enough to help you ace a test. You have to basically memorize EVERYTHING she goes over in detail to do well. Take her only if you have a photographic memory.

No Comments

For the most part the class was not horrible. The class was, actually, very interesting and enjoyalbe. Her examples are funny. She is a nice person, but strict when it comes to the facts. The tests are pretty hard, she is very picky when it comes to detail. Other than that, if you work hard, pay attention, and do the assignments you should do good.

This class is very interesting and enjoyable. As long as you do the assignments and study for the tests you should do pretty good. If you're interested in LEARNING business law take this class. If you just want an easy class and don't care about learning the material then don't take this professor.

She is very anal when it comes to the test, you have to memorize everything. she explains everything about exams in class and ahead of time. she tells u exactly what she expects. overall, not too hard as people say. she makes it interesting

She is very anal on the tests, she expects total memorization but she also tells you exactly what she expects on the exams. Not that hard, just study the notes, you don't even need to read the book. Great teacher.

I love her! She is one of the best teachers I have had. Law by itself is a very interesting subject, but she makes it even more enjoyable. Her tests are hard, that's true, but if you read the book, attend the class, participate and study your notes, "A" is very real. You'll have so much fun with her!

You better learn the art of sucking up if you want to get a good grade in the class. Memorize all the notes word by word and you still wont have time to finish her tests.

class is very interesting. She can be very anal at times but if u put in effort u can get a good grade. she is funny and keeps u awake. very detail oreinted. must take lots of notes in class. attendance also required. highly recomended if u dont mind puttin in a bit of effort. she assigns hw but doesnt collect it, sumtimes randomely pics on peple

I really liked prof Golden, although she has you memorize a lot of info for tests. Very nice and good sense of humor. I think she prepares you really well for Gateway and really helps you understand the information.

She was great! the first two weeks I hated her! but i learned so much and ended up doing really well int he class. she appreciates the effort and the interest in the class. Homework is not collected but you must participate to receive points in the class. She is very helpful and will answer any questions. Her tests are super hard. pverall great!

good class. memorize the terms, do the cases from the book (she randomly picks students but doesn't collect it), take good notes, and come to class. it's really not THAT hard. i got an A and i've had harder classes. learned a lot. funny as hell too. sarcastic. well she is a lawyer.

she was great.come to class and speak up and you'll do fine.she's hilarious.i had some personal issues going on and she was very sympathetic. gave me a B i didn't deserve because i was upfront with her and participated a lot in class when i was there.i should have gotten a C.she raises your grade if you improve over the semester. great teacher!

She is a really good professor. She beats difficult concepts into your head until you are forced to understand them. If you go to class and pay attention, you will learn something every day. She is definitely one of the best professors I've had. Just be careful, her tests are tough. If you really want to learn something, take her class. She's great

Overall she is a really good professor. She is clear. The tests are a little hard but she is a fair grader. Just read, take notes, DO ASSIGNMENTS (they really help), and memorize before exams and u'll be just fine.

Overall a good professor who expects alot from her students.

She DOES NOT play favorites. I had her for both BLAW 280 and 380 and did great in both classes. Make sure you take good notes and study you notes before tests. There no surprises, she basically tells you what you need to know for the tests. Yes the exams can be intense since they are mostly in essay formats, but study the notes and it'll be fine.

she knows how to teach! you will defintely learn in her class. full of energy.go to class take her notes, its very interesting. randomly picks up hw assignments. score xtra points by participating. if u need to take BLAW take it with her. I took 280 and 308! Book is mandatory and very usefull. tests in essay format. 1court visit asgnmnt &1 prtnshp

Mrs. Golden is a very good teacher. She makes sure that people are learning by randomly picking on people to answer an easy question. She wants the HW problems done her way, just follow instructions and you get full credit for thm. Tests are exactly based on the topics talked in class, and must be answered the way you answer the homeworks. Must Stu

I must say she does play favorites. You might not get the grade you deserved. Must put in a lot of time into this class.

She is a tough cookie but you will learn A LOT from this class. Do not take her if you plan on slacking off and dont care. She will call you out if you are not paying attention in her class. Overall though, she really really knows her stuff!

I honestly enjoyed this class. The teacher never it boring and made the material interesting. The material itself is very difficult and you have to pay attention to every detail she gives. MC test are easy. Concentrate fully on the essay exams. 70% for each exam. practice the case problems as she instructs because is the same technique in the exam.

I cannot believe people complain about this professor! This professor does not humiliate students. All she does is keep everyone in check who texts in class, which is very disrespectful in the first place. She is a great professor and cares about her students. Her class is hard, but she keeps explaining until everyone understands. Take her.

She is a hard teacher AVOID. Tests are extremely hard, m/c and essay. Very strict. Attendance is mandatory. A bit egotistical, assigns alot of HW wich, in her defense is good because you read the text.

If you want to do well in her class do exactly what she says. On her essays make sure to define eveything. The class is a lot of work but she really knows her stuff and is willing to help anyone that asks for it. I would take her again.

She explains everything very clearly, cares about the students that show interest and is an overall great professor. You will learn a lot in her class if you want to and if you pay attention. However, her exams are tough and she expects every student to be fully prepared each day. The key to doing well is to take good notes, understand the concepts

A wannabe Ivy League professor and treats her sophomore level class like they're at Stanford. She's the worst professor I've had in four years of college BY FAR. Also, she's very cold and sarcastic and makes you feel like a moron in front of class if you can't answer her on the spot. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS...I'm not even gonna mention her tests...

As I read most of these comments, it makes me chuckle. Reminds me how misleading ratemyprofessors can be. Anyway, this class isn't easy, but it's doable. She explains things clearly..just do your work and come to class. Best way to study for her exams? Make flash cards and study. I got an A, so can you. --Junior, CSUN GPA 3.7

Professor Golden is a great professor. She knows he stuff and tries to make the subject as interesting and fun as possible and uses a lot of examples. She explains from the beginning exactly what you need to do to succeed. Her notes are clear and to the point and if you study and understand the concepts then you will get a good grade.

Mrs. Golden is a GREAT teacher! Yes, attendance is mandatory but for a very good reason...She gives ALL the answers! Like duh. Just take notes, do the hm, and make flashcards to study for the exam. I expect no less than an A- in this class :))

Prof. Golden is the best BLAW teacher I ever had. She is very clear and positive. Gives reasonable time to complete HW. Very fair grader! She has office hours and they are VERY helpful! I went twice with a million questions and she answered them. She helps everyone. I studied hard and got an A- in the midterm! Sheâ??s also funny! Take her.

nice, smart, great at teaching - goes over everything in class, hints at test questions, writes notes on board, and is very organized. Unfortunately, she grades like an AP English teacher and aims for that C average. Grades essay questions comparatively to other students - a good essay will still get a bad grade unless it is one of the best.

I can't speak on her Blaw 308 class, but women and the law is not as bad ! Golden is super sarcastic and can come off rude, but she is funny and knows her stuff. The test are mainly essay, so if you're not good at writing, stay clear! overall, i lied golden and the class. I got a B+, but i'm trying yo raise my GPA, so i wouldn't take her again.

I'm currently taking her 308 class, and reading these comments make me chuckle. Professor Golden states the requirements prior to the midterms and if YOU study and manage your time wisely then the tests should come as common sense. Golden is knowledgeable, funny, and makes class enjoyable which half of professors lack enthusiasm in their lessons.

Tough but fair. She is more than willing to help you, but homework and attendance are mandatory. Be VERY THOROUGH when answering on her exams or she will mark you down. Overall great professor but pay attention in class!!!

I enjoyed Professor Golden's class. However, her tests are pretty hard and she mainly focuses on essays. You need to pay attention to her and go to class in order to take good notes. Attendance is mandatory and she randomly calls students to read their homework. Overall, good teacher! Very passionate about the class.

She is GREAT at going over and over the material covered. I learned a LOT and tried incredibly hard, but my grade a B+ :(. Her grading is competitive so bring on the frustration. She is disrespectful & enjoys in class humiliation. She is very defensive and if you ask a question about your grade she thinks you are accusing her so prepare to see ugly

One of my favorite professors at CSUN! Come to class and write down exactly what she writes on the board. Make flashcards for her exams and you'll definitely get an A in the class. Exams are tough but straight from her lecture. Many of her students end up taking her again for other classes, she's that good!

One of the tougher classes you can take and she does not make the material easy. That being said, I would highly recommend her (along with Prof. Saunders) if you are serious about going to law school. These two professors will prepare you for the real deal.

Ms. Golden is a great teacher. She's pretty entertaining in her lectures and makes rather dull material a lot more fun. She's definitely tough though. No nonsense in class whatsoever. 70% of your grade on exams are essays so be as descriptive as possible or she'll make you pay for it. If you want an A get ready to earn it.

Prof. Golden is a great teacher. She explains well, makes sure students get the subject before moving on to the next one. I would recommend taking her class if you want to learn. Tests are fairly structured with no surprises. Overal great experience

Without bias, here is how the class goes. There is homework due each week. Requires about an average of 12 pages of reading and homework assignments on average of 5 paragraphs. Submit to moodle and bring a hard copy or laptop to class. Two essays. Exams (multiple choice and written portion) require a VERY thorough understanding of the material.

Tough, but not impossible. I knew the material but her midterms were hard. On the first midterm there were 7 pages that had to be written under an hour and 30 minutes. Some of her questions are out to trick you. There are better, but her lectures are honestly some of the best ive ever had word to drake.

I loved loved loved Professor Golden. It was a hard class but the material was very interesting and useful. She makes sure everyone participates to earn points. Homework is a lot but it is a great way to get ready for midterms. If you do your homework every week, pay attention to her lectures, you will be fully ready for the midterm and final.

Professor Golden is a great choice for BLAW 308. Make sure you have the book and show up to class as attendance and participation matters for your grade. Her lectures are informative, and class discussions help you understand the material better. Overall I think she is a great choice for BLAW 308!

She's is so smart and inspiring. She wants you to learn and actually cares for her students to get the best out of her class. Take her if you try you won't fail.

If business law is your major, she is a solid choice. If not, I strongly suggest taking another professor. If you do not care about blaw, then this class will be too difficult for you.

Amazing teacher who really cares about her students. However, she doesn't play around when it comes to lecture time. Lectures are very clear and she is funny and interactive with her students. I learned a lot and i'll be taking her other classes. Tests are MC and written where she is looking at how you apply certain laws to cases. TAKE HER!

Homework 25%, Attendance & Participation 10%, 2 Midterms (15% each), 1 Final (cumulative, 35%). Very passionate about the subject and knowledgeable. Homework every week which can be lengthy. Exams are pretty hard as multiple choice is only worth 10-35% and the rest free response. Must have good memorization skills to pass this class. Time consuming

Prof Golden is a very good teacher. I enjoyed her lectures and she always tried to make jokes to make them more interesting. She gives weekly Hw and 3 tests. She grades the tests pretty harshly but gives full credit for the homework as long as you try, it doesn't have to be right. I would take her again, I just did the Hw and managed to get a B.

A lot of reading to answer the homework. Attendance is mandatory for the whole class session (she prints out a report that shows how long you were on zoom for). Grades super difficult for the "quizzes" and doesn't give you much time to answer, but they're open not. Solid prof but you have to work for a good grade.

Weekly assignments but manageable even for someone with a busy schedule. She cares for her students and tries to make her classes as interactive as possible. She had a team project and it was easy just like all her other work. Midterms are difficult but are open notes so if you understand the material you'll be good to go. Very understanding!

very good professor, caring and understanding. She lectures on everything you need to know for the test. There are homework assignments due almost every class which is just reading the chapter and answering questions The midterms are a little tricky but open note. She makes the lectures interactive which makes the class less boring. TAKE HER CLASS

Pretty solid professor. As long as you follow her directions for HW + the Sales Agreement assignment, you'll do fine. She doesn't assign too much reading. Her exams are challenging, but she goes over most concepts thoroughly during the lectures. You have to work for an A, but it's possible.

Class is easy however attendance is mandatory and that affects your grades a lot. Wkly negotiation projects n in class participation is required, 3 essays make sure to write down da terms 4 your analysis and example from both the opposing and advancing issues that arise. She care a lot but all the materials are from the book and notes soo0o00...

Professor Golden really does care about her students and their understanding of the material. She is incredibly picky and precise with her grading and the material IS difficult but she goes over everything carefully. Not a boring class as she is very energetic and class participation is encouraged. As long as you pay attention u will do decent.

In a week: 1 hw around 15pg reading & answer q's, concept review, participation pts. lectures are clear & engaging. the 2:30 long classes were a lil dreadful. part pts and concept review gives lots of room for free extra points to help ur grade and it really helps. the reviews here r wrong, just stay on her good side and do ur work.

Overall great teacher, if you show up to her class and take proper notes you will pass the class, Professor Golden answers questions with great clarification and you can easily follow up with her during office hours. Open note exams! Loved this class.

Professor Golden is really great at explaining concepts and providing examples. She is a tough and fair grader, and has a great attitude. I still remember stuff I learned from her teaching, I most likely would have forgotten if it was taught by someone less engaging. Be prepared to take notes, and do a slightly more than average amount of homework.

Professor Golden is an extraordinary professor. While this semester had their moments, her teaching style shows as she was able to keep a classroom full all semester long (unheard of in the last four years). While topics might be hard to hear, she expresses them in a way that it is open dialogue for everyone. All I have to say, is get ready to work

Part (2) If you don't miss a class, write all her notes that are on the board, including her examples (oral examples), read, do the assignments, and ask questions, you can pass the class no question about it! The class isn't hard or boring. If you want to learn she is the best professor.

Professor Golden's BLAW280 class can be challenging, but she makes it engaging. The lectures are clear, and she encourages participation. Assignments are manageable, and Unstuck AI can be super helpful for study prep.

I loved her! She is very passionate about the subject and makes the lectures super engaging. It was pretty writing intensive; tests were online; participation points from lectures were online as well. The topic does kinda get depressing though, so be prepared for that.

Amazing professor! If you make sure to write down everything she writes on the board, you'll get a good grade. All exams are open notes and she goes through everything you need during lectures. All homework was based on reading but it was super easy and she only graded participation. Overall a very easy and caring professor.

Professor Golden is sweet and funny but she expects a lot from her students. She refuses to give As on papers despite student's efforts to fulfill her rubric. Take notes of things that seem insignificant, everything matters. Very interesting class but the bar is set extremely high, we're just learning. Don't stray away but put in work.
