Comment:

Smart man but terrible professor. He is the most confusing teacher and you will NEVER get clear guidelines on any assignments or exams. I'm an IB major and I still can't follow his lectures. The IB program is a mess; it's lacks structure, integrity and organization.

Not clear with assignments, and grading seems random. He means well, but he can't stay on a topic and should retire.

Dr. Goodnow isn't as bad as some people say. He is boring, but if you read the book and look at his slides, you should do okay.

Comment:

classes are long and boring. test is straight from the book and covers many chapters. group papers have pretty vague guidelines, but he'll help you if you ask him. he's a nice guy though and wants you to be interested in the global scene. overall, it's not that bad. you do learn a lot though

Not clear on directions of projects!!!! Just likes to share his own experiences, don't have to go to class. Know the definitions in the chapters and the test shouldn't be too bad.

Comment:

His expectations are pretty unclear. Dont listen to the last rating. Dont worry about the book at all and study the slides for the tests and you will do fine. Seriously, dont study the book!!! Class should be worth 3 hours but oh well...

Comment:

Very unclear about his expectations. Lectures have no structure. 2 exams & 1 project with 3 parts. Hint for the exam - just read the book & focus on definitions. You don't get to pick your group for the project so be careful. Overall just work at it & you'll do ok.

Comment:

Class lectures are a little boring and most of the material is learned in other classes. The tests are pretty hard and over a lot of chapters. You will have to put some work in to get an A but an easy B if not.
