Comment:
When I was in Dr. Jay's class, we had to do two 40% essays... He's actually very caring and will help you clarify any questions or concerns you have about it. He also gives good feedback. But please note!: His lectures are heavy and can be dry at times, his writing is hard to read... But he does show some movies in class :D

Professor Jay Goulding is the definition of a true academic. He is extremely devoted to what he does, he goes beyond his way to help students succeed, and his classes are easy A's. He is really an intelligent and sophisticated man, the only problem is that they don't make his kind anymore. Take the chance while you got it, he will inspire you.

Had him for intro to social science. Strange class because it felt more like a mix of greek myths & philosophy. Attend lectures and actually listen! he gives you exam questions in advance, and gives you all the answers in class. If you don't show up you will not know what you are doing. TA's help a lot.

His passion for the course just makes you interested. He is unbelievably knowledgeable. Lectures can be very confusing. He is a gem, he sees the world in a unique way and not many profs like him are left. This course changes your view of the world. I did much better close to the end of the year when I got used to his teaching style. TAs are great.

He is a terrible professor. More than awful. He simply does not make sense. He is all over the place. He keeps talking about things that have nothing to do with the course.

he knows what he is talking about, he is experienced and he makes philosophy seem easy with on point and on time explanations, on exam write down what he said and you get A and B. not to mention SOCS1000 is relatively a unique experience and he enhances it.

Comment:
Prof. Jay likes giving fractions of information here and there, more like pieces of unresolved puzzle. Then expects you to reconstruct those pieces of information to something that makes sense to him, which is okey if only he was more clear. However, the course materials are not helpful at all. It feels like am in a Philosophy or a History class.

Wonderful professor and friend. If you want a professor who invests in the material and you take this course. Unorthodox approach to soc sc. He guides you to think inside, outside and around the box until there is no box. Course encourages independent and explorative thought and breaks you free from drone like, passive thinking.

Prof Goulding seems like a really nice man, but I didn't really get his teaching style. He is very confusing and unclear, and liked to go off on a lot of random tangents, which made a lecture hard to follow. I had to rely SOLELY on tutorials and my TA in order to understand what the hell was happening in this class.

Very nice man, but horrible, absolutely terrible prof. I was interested in the material...before I entered this class. If you don't regurgitate everything he says in lecture on your test, you won't get more than a B-, it's his way or the highway. This class brought my GPA down hard, and I'm an overall good student; take this class at your own risk.

He is very friendly and approachable, also very helpful if you ask for help. A bit boring and unclear, tends to ramble about random stuff. Overall I would highly recommend this professor and this course

Most Awesome Outstanding Professor! Should they hire more like him. The way he demonstrate his theory and philosophy are charming simple but leave deep influence into your soul. Great combination! Learning is so enjoyable just like a breathing. Too simple to be undervalued. Empty yourself, you will fill a lot by his knowledge and wisdom!
