Comment:

Has written a few good papers - without doing real research I might add. Overall pretty pretentious, unorganized, and an idiot. Some people are tricked into liking him because he plays the cool card.

Comment:

Lectures are scattered and often do not make sense. Sometimes it seems that he thinks he is lecturing to an empty hall. Interesting readings though.

Comment:

Biggest waste of time. Goldsmith is a nice guy, but he is never prepared for class. He also cannot grade papers objectively outside his marxist scheme. Thank God he only teaches one core course or I'd go crazy having him again next year.

The class is fascinating and Goldsmith is very intelligent and knowledgeable of the topics. The class forces you to think and that's what Goldsmith is looking for.

I really love Professor Goldsmith. As long as you do all of the readings, attend section, and work hard you are guaranteed to get a B.

Comment:

This guy is smart and he's crazy. His strong will comes from his ability to get his point across and make you think about the topics at hand. He accepts other opinions if worded intelligently. He doesn't take mindless crap.

Comment:

Worst professor I ever had, class is very disorganized and sometimes he rambles on and doesn't teach a thing. No idea what will be on prelims, and he's very arrogant and sometimes just straight-up rude. Don't take this unless it's a requirement.

Comment:

His class is not particularly interesting. Most of the topics covered don't exactly fall under "the American city" category. However, Professor Goldsmith is very nice, and always willing to help.

Comment:

He says outrageous things that are blatently untrue and yet comes off cocky about his knowledge. In my opinion, he is EXTREMELY close-minded, and he wants you to think just like him.

Comment:

UNBELIEVABLY abrasive, and more than a little bullheaded, but if you've got the goods he'll reward you.
