Bro. Goodwin is an awesome Professor. You will really learn from this guy unlike some other teaches I have had. He will actually teach you math that you will use in your life. As long as you try you will pass easy.

Brother Goodwin was an exceptional professor. He is very good at making the material fun, yet you learn a lot as you do it. He is very good at making this class a good life learning class, all the things we learn about can be used in the real world. I would highly recommend taking him, when you put in the work, you will get an A.

Brother Goodwin likes to add in parts of the curriculum that were originally used but have been cut by the department and they are extremely useful. Most of class time is spent in lecture. It's good to pay attention, but the online instruction helps too. He finds great ways to incorporate gospel discussion as well.

This teacher has been absolutely amazing. Not only does he grasp the concepts he is teaching, but he also delves deeper into content. His in class discussion are so informative, and he does a nice job of providing adequate help in order to exceed the expectation. You have to take from Br. Goodwin for 108! Such an amazing teaching. :)

Brother Goodwin is awesome! I took a 5 credit class from him but he made it worth it every day. He is always willing to answer questions to make sure everybody understands! He teaches in a caring and funny style! When it comes to grading, he gives you many chances! If you come to class and do the work, you should have no problems.

I've had Brother Goodwin for Math 109 and 112 and he's an amazing math teacher. He cares about his students and encourages us to you technology while learning. He is the only 112 teacher that allows you to use a graphing calculator and Desmos on exams. His tests are tough, but if you take notes and pay attention, you'll do great.

Be ready for "DAD JOKES". He's hilarious just like you dad would be. He is a good professor, although he spends a bit too much time in stories or funny jokes, but he won't make you fail the class unless you make no effort. It's a hard class, but I would take class with him anytime.

Great teacher, really helps if you visit his office hours. he knows the material and teaches it well. The course is reasonably hard and fast paced though. He does a bunch of projects that really bring together the chapter.

Your best bet is to review each section's explanations and then use the exercises provided in the text book. Use class to ask question that you didn't understand on your own. I'm one that will ask all the questions until I understand it because I know I'm not the only one lost.

The first couple weeks he will come off confusing or uncaring but the moment add/drop deadlines pass, he is all in and gives amazing lectures. He might be a little political but he knows his stuff. If you're willing to work/put in effort, he loves to help. He's not everyone's cup of tea but he is a funny and great professor to learn from.

Comment:

Brother Goodwin is nice and I like him, but he is often vague and hard to follow. He doesn't answer questions in class well. He doesn't manage time well. He was flexible though and often pushed assignments back if he didn't get to it. He offers lots of his time to work with students out of class and is very helpful in a one-on-one setting.

He is probably my favorite professor at this school. He is super dedicated to helping students succeed, and his lectures are fantastic. He has years experience teaching math and it really shows. The tests are difficult, but if you pay attention in class, and study hard you will succeed in his class.

I loved taking this class. Brother Goodwin was very helpful and answered any questions he was asked. He did his best to make sure his students were prepared for the tests. I do not think that there is a better Precalculus teacher on campus!

Math is not my subject at all, but Brother Goodwin made it tolerable. He's such a funny guy & keeps the frustration that accompanies math at bay. He explains things clearly & tries his best to make sure everyone understands the material. Group quizzes will help your grade a ton, so go to class! Good amount of homework but that helps too. Great guy.

Bro Goodwin is an EXCELLENT teacher. I Highly recommend his class. The class can be tough with daily homework and almost weekly tests which is normal for 109 but he is a lenient and fair grader. I always felt like he cares and wants us to succeed. Class goes by fast and he explains things well. Definitely one of my favorite professors.

I love Brother Goodwin. He tends to go on tangents during lecture, however he always tries to teach you something each day. He grades his tests pretty easily, however he has never curved a test. I found myself in the math lab every single day. He gives you good study guides for the tests. If you want a good grade in his class, you have to try hard.
