Comment:

Not very good at teaching consistently gets off topic. The textbook he assigned has large chapters which he'll usually assign 1 chapter each class meeting chapters are 30-35 pgs long. Might be too much info but I'm trying to paint a picture of how easy it is to fall behind. Definitely NOT a do it on your own kind of class at least with this prof.

Comment:

A professor I'd recommend to avoid at all cost. More than half of the class dropped by the date you recieve a W. Taught by lecture and power point but the questions on the exams did not correlate only the written part did which is only half of the exams.

Comment:

do not take this class if youre not a polisci major. it is lecture heavy and you have to do a lot of reading on your own. goes off topic a lot in class and just reads off powerpoints. if youre not naturally interested in polisci steer clear of this class

I have taken many online course, and this was my least favorite. Most of it is reading, and taking the tests online. There are a few exams, and are simple enough if you've read/research. I would not take an online class with this professor ever again.

Professor goss is amazing. He is so knowledgeable about politics and is really dedicated to his students. His class is easy going. Just lecture and notes but if you dont read the book, you wont pass. I definately recommend him.

Passionate teacher with plenty of experience. His lectures are great and not politically partisan like some political science professors. Be sure to read the book for the exams or else you might have a hard time. Very professional and willing to entertain all sides to political debate.

Comment:

in my experience Professor Goss knows what he's talking about and is very passionate about political science. However, his class is very lecture heavy. if you don't go to class you for sure won't pass. make sure to read the book, the questions on the test are trivial questions so make sure to know small details like dates rather than major topics

Comment:

I can honestly say i was afraid to take this class because i didn't know anything about political science or the terminology. I will say this teacher might have a lot of work but it was worth to learn and ask him questions his very carrying and helpful. I passed with an A, and i would take him again. Keep up with reading and the class will be easy

Comment:

My experience with his online course is that it's too quiz/test heavy, his online class was one of the most difficult classes I've ever taken. It was extremely time consuming and demanding for an online class. In my honest opinion, DO NOT TAKE THIS ONLINE CLASS! The online class needs to be reworked before anyone can/should take it.

I took professor Goss for polsci 10. There was no homework ever assigned except for a semaster long research paper due at the end of the semester. His lectures consist of power points and test are half multiple choice half essay. I really enjoyed his class my Favorite teacher so far but be warned he's really tuff

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS GOSS IS POLITICS IS NOT YOUR MAJOR! He is a good professor and cares a lot about politics. He treats everyone as if this is their only class. The tests are solely based on the textbook, yet the text book is never discussed in class. Your on your own for that portion.

Comment:

Like most poli-sci professors, he's primarily conservative. However, he NEVER discusses progressive viewpoints with as much depth as conservative ones. Class is mostly based off of his own opinions. Do your own outside research! Use it in essays! Debate him if you know your stuff! He won't knock your grade for it.

Comment:

Initially took him for an online course and got a B, decided to take him the following semester for another Political Science course on campus. Prof. Goss is very passionate about politics and gives great lectures. His classes are textbook heavy and you are required to study a lot to pass the exams; beware the exams are difficult.

Comment:

Took his class years ago, but Dr. Goss knows his stuff. Lots of reading. His humor is a little dorky but endearing. Lecture heavy and he goes through so much information, so prepare to take a TON of notes. Forget about skipping class because attendance is mandatory. Would definitely love to pick his brain about current political climate.

Comment:

If you are serious about Political Science and your education, Professor Goss is one of (if not THE) best professors you could have. He has passion and heart in his lectures and cares about the topic. His test is half multiple choice from the text and half essays from lectures so take LOTS of notes. The Final research paper is heavy but fun!

Great Professor! I took Professor Goss for Political Science 1 online two semesters ago. Like all online courses you need to stay on top of all of the assignments and complete them to your best ability. His assignments were well thought out and extremely interesting (especially for someone who doesn't think they like history or Polisci)

Comment:

This online class requires a lot of reading per week, and at the end of each chapter is a quiz. There is more then enough time to get it all done IF you prepare and read in advance. Mid Term and Final are 10 essay questions that are easy to answer, IF you've read the chapters and reviewed the study guide.
