Comment:

Do not take this class! Her lecturers are not even considered lectures, all it is consumed of is examples. If you miss class your participation drops your grade pretty heavy even when you leave early. Homework is a waste of time, does not help prepare you for her tests. Tests dont match up with lecture. Cant ask her for guidance, she doesnt help.

Comment:

Honestly, I started off terribly in this class. However, from the first quarter onward, I tried to do better. Just somehow, this professor won't give me a chance to do better. She doesn't reply my emails. Her lectures are based on the homework. Which means that if you missed the last class, you're screwed. She doesn't keep her word. Picks on people

Listen to all the negative reviews! She is an extremely harsh grader- if you're struggling in the class & visit her office hours for help she will make you feel like an annoyance to her, which is so improper for a professor. Assigns heavy workload that isn't difficult but VERY time consuming & pointless. There's a reason her classes never fill up.

Comment:

Her tests are impossible and just because of couple of students are used to her tests, she thinks they're easy, which is annoying considering not everyone is the same. My hand ached after inch one of her tests because she wants literally essays to be written in an hour. She literally called on me during every single class, which was annoying. AVOID

She's is so smart and inspiring. She wants you to learn and actually cares for her students to get the best out of her class. Take her if you try you won't fail.

Professor Golden is a great choice for BLAW 308. Make sure you have the book and show up to class as attendance and participation matters for your grade. Her lectures are informative, and class discussions help you understand the material better. Overall I think she is a great choice for BLAW 308!

I loved loved loved Professor Golden. It was a hard class but the material was very interesting and useful. She makes sure everyone participates to earn points. Homework is a lot but it is a great way to get ready for midterms. If you do your homework every week, pay attention to her lectures, you will be fully ready for the midterm and final.

Comment:

Tough, but not impossible. I knew the material but her midterms were hard. On the first midterm there were 7 pages that had to be written under an hour and 30 minutes. Some of her questions are out to trick you. There are better, but her lectures are honestly some of the best ive ever had word to drake.

Comment:

Terrible class, didn't learn anything and got really tired of the constant indoctrination she gave the students. The homework was outrageous and took away time from real classes that needed my attention. All for a general elective class I will never use. Very disappointed. It also wasn't really hard just extremely time consuming.

Comment:

Without bias, here is how the class goes. There is homework due each week. Requires about an average of 12 pages of reading and homework assignments on average of 5 paragraphs. Submit to moodle and bring a hard copy or laptop to class. Two essays. Exams (multiple choice and written portion) require a VERY thorough understanding of the material.

Prof. Golden is a great teacher. She explains well, makes sure students get the subject before moving on to the next one. I would recommend taking her class if you want to learn. Tests are fairly structured with no surprises. Overal great experience

Comment:

Ms. Golden is a great teacher. She's pretty entertaining in her lectures and makes rather dull material a lot more fun. She's definitely tough though. No nonsense in class whatsoever. 70% of your grade on exams are essays so be as descriptive as possible or she'll make you pay for it. If you want an A get ready to earn it.

She has homework due EVERY WEEK. We also have a court visit and a partnership agreement project. There is way to much out of class work. Her class takes most of my available study time which is detrimental to my major courses. Unless you're a Law student it is in your best interest to take a different professor.

One of the tougher classes you can take and she does not make the material easy. That being said, I would highly recommend her (along with Prof. Saunders) if you are serious about going to law school. These two professors will prepare you for the real deal.

Avoid this professor at all cost. She's an incredibly hard grader,when it comes to test. 2 midterms and a final, in which 70% of the grade is an essay. She assigns a lot of tedious yet pointless homework. Your required to do a Court visitation and partnership agreement, worth 5% each. Participation is mandatory.

Assigns way too much homework. Does not allow a reference sheet for tests. Attendance is mandatory. She is constantly staring with hopes of catching you on your cell phone. Nit picky. Often appears confused by her own material. Doesn't lecture with certainty, which makes you question if the information she's providing is accurate. Avoid.

Comment:

One of my favorite professors at CSUN! Come to class and write down exactly what she writes on the board. Make flashcards for her exams and you'll definitely get an A in the class. Exams are tough but straight from her lecture. Many of her students end up taking her again for other classes, she's that good!
