She is sooo full of herself. All she talks about is how wonderful she is and she is soo dramatic.

If your already shy about public speaking this is not a good professor she will make you feel worst.
She is too self-centered, think she is the best.Doesn't encourage you to speak, and favors good speaker. If you want to improve communication skill, don't take her! She will make you be more ashame of yourself.
If you're a native English speaker and have a good grasp of the English language, take her! The course is a breeze. She does have a certain sense of humor that, if you like it, you'll really enjoy her. If you aren't a native speaker, consider another prof
She's is so full of herself. I got a B+ in her class when i should have gotten an A. She favors students and has a tendency to put you down when you speak especially students who are ESL .
Can be intimidating, but very laid back, doesn't care that much for the class...speeches are short..but her work is very unorganized
VERY HELPFUL, HAVE BE WILLING TO OVERCOME OBSTACLES. STUDENTS MUST BE DRIVEN, DETERMINED AND "GREAT!" MOST STUDENTS THINK PROF. IS SELF-CENTERED, IN REALITY, SHE FOCUS ON STUDENTS DEVELOPMENT. OUTSTANDING AND HIGH SPIRITED PROF. DEMONSTRATES SUC
very laid back prof, doesn't really care that much for the class..lol, its like freshmen seminar in there, speeches are short, even the final speech!
She favors a few students (suck ups),and they will be the only ones with the A's. I deserved an A..but got a B.Theres no point in trying to contact her to chnge ur grade..u'll never find her. If English is your second language, don't take her.
all you would is about her life... n her so call accomplishments.. so if you want to hear all of that .. take her... if you want to learn something take another prof. horrible... she does nothing but complain...
Very easy. She is cool even she doesn't really teach us that much.lol. but her classes are really easy. By the way, Don't buy her book. She doesn't even use it.But anyway i like her..
She favors students. I also deserved an A but got a B+ instead. The class is overall easy to pass but hard to get an A. She has a judgemental persona.
I deserved an A- at least...but instead I got a B...I showed up all the time and I did pretty well. Only the people who kissed her ass got A- and everyone else got lower. She favors the men also. I don't recommend her.
THE MOST POMPUS PERSON ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH. SHE SPENT THE WHOLE TERM TALKING ABOUT THE DAMN SPRING SPEECH FESTIVAL SHE RUNS. SHE SHOWED US A VIDEO ABOUD SOME BUDHIST MEDITATION THING. DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS!!!
She is a reasonable person if you speak with her. Don't feel intimidated.
If english is not your first language..dont bother taking her...i just couldnt believe that some guy that hardly came to class got a higher grade than me and I work hard in her class I should have gotten an A..SHE SUCKS!!!
Very True what the person below me said..U have been warn!!!!
The worst professor ever. She is judgemental and ambigious. She isnt organized. You are just wasting your time taking her as a professor. She favors all the kiss ass people. She makes her rules, if you dont follow her rules then you are screwed.
She is a great teacher. Sacrifice your fear of speaking for an easy A. It's a fair trade.
She has to be one of the most disrespectfl people that I know. It is clear that she has absolutely NO respect for her students. She thinks she is better than everyone else. She doesn't give constructive criticism, she likes to humiliate students in front of her peers.She is a disgrace to the com dep
She is definitely in love with herself, so if you kiss her ass she'll do well. However she is all over the place so don't count on learning too much.
She is the most disrespectful prof. in baruch. only those who kiss her ass can get an A.She humiliate students in front of class and her critiscism is simply too much to bear.If english is not ur first langage, get ready to hear that u need help in improving ur speech...too full of herself.
I HATE HER SHE CAN'T TEACH SHE TALKS TOO MUCH, IF SHE DOESN'T LIKE YOU SHE WILL AUTOMATICALLY GIVE YOU A C IN THE CLASS, DON'T TAKE HER.
Nice once you get over her narcism. Interesting and easy assignments
She's beyond egotistical, and judgemental...she makes really stupid and offensive comments. Her material is too disorganized, you won't learn anything in her class. People like her should not be teaching!!!
She is extremely egotistical. Flatery will get you an A. It is very easy to win her favor
well it is true once she hates u then well she hates u for the whole semester so i advise ppl to always be prepared to make the speeches laugh at her jokes and suck up to get an A its that easy dont say oh i aint sucking up to anyone its an A a very fair trade easy easy speeches
I honestly believe she is good at what she does but her teaching approach is not constructive. She will be intimidating for those who have a fear in speaking and grades will be on the unfavorable side for those who aren't as humorous and creative. Advice: really think of topics to suit teh assignmen
It is true her clas is easy as long as you kiss her ass.She talks about her self and her boring life constantly, but as long as you don't mind that it is an easy A.She is always 10 minutes late but yells at her students when they are late.Very disorganized. you will not learn anything in class
EASY EASY EASY. You have to be retarded to even get a B in this class. She always comes at least 15 minutes late and even lets you out early. Avg class time is like 45 minutes. While other COM classes do 5+ presentations, her class only does a max of 3. Take her for an easy A not if you want to lea
She gives a lot less work than the other COM classes, but that's only because she is unorganized and doesn't teach you anything. She can be nice but unless you kiss up to get on her good side, you're in trouble. If you really want to improve your speaking, take a professor who will show you how.
If you don't care about speech, like me, this is the class for you. You don't do too much work in her class. Only problem is she grades the speeches harshly. However, I had Gray, and I don't care if I would've had a higher grade with Gray, I liked this class more, because I felt like I lived in a Nazi regime in Gray's class.
she is a horrible professor. she favors the people who kiss her a** and gives bad grades to those who dont. it doesnt matter how hard you try or what you do in that class, it only matters how much brown nosing you can do. HORRIBLE
Maybe she knows the subject but she doesn't teach anything in class. Take her if you want to have an easy course. However, you have to be on her side because she is the type that gives good grades to the people she likes, not for good work on the speechs. Always late and class ends early.
She's not very much organized. She may be disrespectful at times. She doesn't always give you clear responses. Be on her side, make her laugh and for you to like her. Make sure you don't piss her off. She is an easy grader though.
I HAVE NEVER MET A MORE DESPICABLE, POMPOUS, AND SELF-ABSORBED PERSON IN MY LIFE. She will credit all of your success to her teaching (mind you, she doesn't teach anything). Her voice makes you cringe (think haughty Samantha from Sex and the City). I dunno where to end. In fact, take her class...you'll realize you're not such a jerk after all.
If you suck up, agree with what she says, and are prepared for your speech you'll get an A. She does favor some students over others, Justgo along with her dumb jokes about fashion and politics, you'll get a B or higher.

Her class is a popularity contest. Her comments are ignorant, at times offensive. She does not teach anything...All she does is talk about her weekends at the hamptons, she's the most shallow person that I've met...Do NOT TAKE HER
This woman is the only person who teaches this class. The class is called speech composition and delivery, The total amount of speeches you do in this class is 2. One where you can use a visual aid and one one the 10 page paper you have to write at the end of semester. On top of that this prof does nothing to prepare you for them. Very unhelpful cl
easy class IF YOU AGREE AND SUCK UP HARD YOU CAN EARN AN A- dont expect to learn, hope you like to meditate, and if dont mind a moody disrespectful pompous teacher who isn't much of a joy to listen to herself than this class is for you
OMG, she is the most self-obsessed person in the world. She has an extremely bad attitude and just is extremely cynical in everything she does yet fakes a very upper-class sort of snooty friendliness. However, her class is easy and you do get alot of practice doing public speaking and preparing presentations.
possibly the worst professor employed in baruch.constantly late,unorganized,and unfair. she is however very easy.its basically impossible to fail her class.she only gives 3 speeches so its very simple.but you have to do the work yourself,she will never actually teach the class.for the whole semester,i have 2 pages of notes.oh,and learn to suck up!!
Okay- I will try to be friendly! This professor is the most stuck up, think she know-it-all, most conceited woman I have ever met. First, she put students down with her nasty comments. Second, you do not learn anything, other than all her trips to France or Italy. Plain and simple...do not take her!
She's not only very ****, but she's also very stuck up. It's ridiculous because she plays favorites and even if you do well on the presentations, if you don't participate or suck up, you can at most get a B+. Maybe.
TAKE HER CLASS ONLY IF YOU ARE FRENCH SPEAKING PERSON. SHE WILL GIVE YOU AN EASY A. SHE IS SO PRO-FRENCH, SHE EVEN TRIES TO SPEAK WITH AN FRENCH ACCENT... SHE TEACHES YOU NOTHING,BUT HOW TO SUCK UP WITH PROFESSOR. SHE TALKS HER SON ALL THE TIME. AND HER UNCLE. HER MOTHER, HER DOG, HER SON'S GIRLS FRIEND'S NEIGHBOR'S CAT...
Her conceit will choke you, most of her jokes aren't even funny, and her use of favortism literally divides the class. If you take her, learn french, laugh at her jokes, and don't even think about saying "um" or looking at a paper when giving a speech. HARD GRADER! - favorites get the A, the rest of us (even an A student like me) get Bs and Cs.
ok .. dont buy the textbook, you wont need it, dont bring a notebook to class, you won't use it ... 3 presentations that you will have to do completely on your own ... SHE DOESN'T TEACH! all she does is talk about herself, her son, and blah blah blah ... SUCK UP ... IMPOSSIBLE CLASS TO FAIL! If you fail her class, might aswell drop out of college!
I have never had a professor this terrible. She if very offensive, rude, conceited...She always does this annoying exaggerated wink when she talks. This woman is in love with herself and it's kind of sad. I guess she is easy but you won't learn anything and it's a waste of time. DON'T TAKE HER.
she literaly believes in herself and not only that be she is also obsessed with herself you learn nothing in class but the speeches are easy to do if you suck up to her you will get an A and remember its not necessary to contradict her even though she does it to herself
Honestly, take this class. She's not a very good teacher (well, calling her a teacher is being a little bit generous), but she does ot mean to be bad. She talks about herself a lot, but hey, who cares. If you do the three SHORT presentations and you do the one page (very easy)you will get at least a B+. Don't buy anything at all, just go to class.
Most ppl dont like her because of some of her comments. Her class is extremely easy if u can put up wit some stupd comments she makes. Dont buy the books and dont bring a notebook 2 class, just make some decent speeches and DO NOT READ!!
I feel like i did not get my moneys worth. she does not teach just talks about her life and is condescending. she will give you a grade based on how much you sucked up. I don't understand how the hell she is a professor here. Dont buy the books she will never use them not even mention them!!!
This class was a waste of my tuition money. Barely do any work and leaves no contact information. Most of the class ended up getting B-, the most you will get out of this class is a B maybe B+ is you do a ton of extra work. Impossible to contact her after the semester, AVOID AT ALL COST
Makes you buy her book "the golden voices" which is just some stapled paper and it talks about how great she is. SHe requires that you buy it and the textbook but she wont ever use it. Gives a ambiguous midterm on both so you are force to buy it. two speechs and a 10 page paper that she never gave back. I ended up with a B..terrible class
OMG! Please retire.. This class was the worst I ever had at baruch.It is impossible to get an A in this class because she believes that you need to be a "golden voice" and that no one is that perfect to get an A. I did a ton of work and ended up with a B for the class. This women needs to get over herself
This class ruined my straight A's for comm. Shows videos about herself and makes you buy her golden voice, which can easily be put on blackboard seeing how its just words on computer paper, but no you need to pay like 30 bucks for it. uses a vague grading system and when you see your grade at the end of the semester good luck trying to contact her
Okay, so we still have yet to find out what is really the matter with this crazy lady. She came to class **** a couple of times and lets you leave class 40 minutes ealry. Did i learn anything at all? NO, the most i learned was about her life and how much we should "cherish" "The Golden Voice".
Taking comm 3061 with goldstein?? Think you are going to get a A ahahhahahahhaha... The most you'll get out of this class is a B maybe B+ if your lucky..She grades with 1-5 and I haven't seen anyone who has gotten a 5 yet on their speech.
OMG this person should not even be teaching she is so egotistical and will not teach you anything. she is constantly promoting her book i swear the only way to get an A is to literally pretend you are cracking up at her jokes and give her compliments. In addition she will humiliate you in front of the class if you're wearing she doesnt agree with.
A teribble teacher, only cares about herself and promoting obama and her book. Has no respect for the students and is unbelievably fake. She makes bs grades and you'll have 2 suck up to get a b. Class started with 30 kids and now only has 12. Makes you buy useless books especially her stapled computer paper one.
please don't take her. please?
Shes a very easy professor. Very hard to deal with at first. My class began with thirty six students and left with fourteen. Theres really no point in buying either two books she used them once. Overall she grades pretty high but its unfair. Someone can do an outstanding presentation with someone that prepared overnight get the same grade.

The most conceited professor at Baruch! She never teaches about speech but rather talks about how great Obama is. She makes you buy two books and she never uses them. There are about 5 speeches and even if you work hard she will never give you an A. She has favorites and hates kids with accents.The class ended with only 12/40 kids Dont take her!!

The textbooks weren't used at all. She is an easy professor but a bit self-absorbed. Sometimes students who suck and some who are brilliant get the same grade. The class was cut by more than half at the end of the semester but it's an easy class. She hates if you late but for the most part a fun teacher.
I stayed in her class only because i wanted the easy B. Dont bother getting the textbook cause its a waste of money and its not used. If u actually want to learn public speaking, take someone else. Want an easy B? just stay invisible and show up to class. It puzzles me how she is still teaching at baruch because I can teach better than her.
Probably one of the worst prof i ever had. Go for easy grade and if u are a good speaker, she will favor you. Class size was reduced by the first week. I highly recommend NOT taking her
Has yet to teach anything...
I hereby witness that all comments about her are still in effect. Bias, no teaching skills and prejudice. Avoid her if you can.
Professor G plays favorites.U have to know how to play the game.Here's the rules:Get to class on time,regularly.Participate in class (even if u didnt read the assignment)..DONT BUY THE BOOKS.Laugh at her jokes. She doesnt teach so don't expect to learn.DO NOT READ ur speeches. Ask her about her weekend. Then smile cuz u earned ur A-! I did!
Horrible teacher because she doesnt teach. You will not do or learn anything in this class. Dont even bother buying the textbook but make sure that you mention the golden voice in your speeches.Take her if you want to get an easy b+ but avoid at all costs if you want a better grade of if you actually want to learn something
Professor Goldstein is very liberal and easy. You must attend class all the time and she loves the kids with no absences. I feel she tends to favor the kids she calls on during class. Make sure you participate and you will do fine. Mention her book, The Golden Voice, in your speeches. She boosts your grade right away. She is a must take.
worse professor ever! makes you buy her cheaply bind "book" that costs 30$ and never ever uses it. dont bother getting any books for her because she won't use and you dont even have to come to class with paper and pen because everything she says is useless and will not impact your life in anyway.
This professor is extremely defensive. Wastes students' time, but outraged if you're 5 minutes late. Discriminates and is passive-aggressive. Overly sensitive. Must suck up if you want an A.
She really is useless. Disrespectful to students, consistently late (but she starts yelling at people for talking as she walks in the room), and just plain awkward. Avoid taking this teacher is possible. But if need be, you can probably get an A by talking to her and sucking up a little. It is difficult, because I can't respect her, but I gotta
Omg I can not believe how harsh these comments are. Professor Goldstein's class is an easy A. She most def has favorites but as long as you smile and do your speeches B- is the lowest ur gonna get. She gives NO tests dnt need the textbook just show up to class. This was def one of my easiest classes
The worst professor ever. Stay away from her.
shes an absolutely waste of time. the class is no doubt easy, but she's just awful. don't buy the textbook, it's useless. if you have an accent, don't take her, she's mean and will ridicule you. she has no idea what she talks about and improvises (very badly) in lectures.
I got a B in this class and I am satisfied, though I feel she could ve given me a B+, if the progress mattered to her. I feel like I did improve. Her class is easy. She is always late. All you need to get an A in her class is to be on the same page with her, no matter how ridiculous she is sometimes. But she is easy and cheerful all the time. Clas
Are you supposed to learn anything in any of her class? Her classes are great way to pass time on a couple hundreds dollar of tuition money.
Prof. Goldstein's class is a BIG waste of time AND money. She tells us to buy the textbook, yet we don't use it AT ALL. She's always 5-15 minutes late and then lets us out 15 minutes early. She doesn't teach anything in class, and all she does in class is talk slow, play with her hair, and look at the clock.
She's very vane. She speaks really slowly and enunciates excessively. You will learn about parties that she has went to, and her family. However, the class was pretty fun. She gives A- or B+ to everyone unless she hates you. Speak about topics that she likes, and pretend that you're interested in the class. Recommended if you want a joke class
I would have to say this class was very interesting. As you long as you laugh and have a good time you will get a decent grade. You will probably get an A- or B+.
Professor Goldstein is awesome !!!! she is very nice and very funny ! at first she might scare you, but she is really great ! don't come in late, attend class, be serious and you will do well ! Do not buy the textbook tho
Dont buy the book. She spends every class talking about herself and judging students. class is entertaining and easy B or A as long as you laugh at her jokes and agree with everything she says. slams you with a 10page paper on nothing during finals week and will openly make fun of you and other classmates. waste of money and brain cells.
she is an easy class is you dont have an accent. If you have an accent be ready to be insulted and humiliated publicly for an entire semester
One of the rudest people I've ever met. She doesn't use the text book and she is mean to students... I couldn't believe it she made me cry our 2nd week of class for what I was wearing...
