She's great! This is the second class I have had with her and I love her more! She makes the subject interesting and class discussions are fun. Take the quizzes, show up to class, and study for the exams and you should do fine!

Lecture/discussion heavy, but often interesting if you're into political type things. Quizzes a lot, but not too hard. Tests moderately hard. Some papers, grades moderately on them.

Comment:

Presents information very clearly, never confused about what you need to know when leaving class. Weekly quizzes that are easy if you have done the assigned reading, tests and papers are hard, but the class is very informative, and I would definitely take her class again.

She made what could have been a boring class both interesting and relevant. Good teaching style. Expect some feminist theory thrown in out of nowhere.

This was a difficult class. We had to write a 25 page paper. But, she was very engaging in class, we had a lot of discussion. I love Prof Goi. Even though the class was hard, I would recommend it to anyone.

She is the best prof I have ever had! Very upset that I can't take one of her classes next semester. She challenges you in a positive way. Do the readings. Weekly quizzes. Discussion-oriented. Knowledgeable. Easy to talk to. AMAZING!!!

Goi is an incredible professor. She's reasonable in her standards for grading, and evidently knows her stuff. Lectures are enjoyable and almost feel short (50 mins.). If you take any POLS classes, try your best to get Goi!

Goi is awesome. Be prepared though--she is tough and you have to do a lot of reading! But she is one of the better profs here at Calvin. She's thorough, clear, and quite insightful. Bonus: she wears cute clothes :)
