Comment:

Prof Golightly is really great, he made me understand calculus which is totally a miracle. He's been teaching for a long time so he knows what he's doing. Grades really leniently on tests. Frequent quizzes but they come straight from the HW and are useful to let you know what you need help on before the tests. Basically he's a really good prof!

Good professor, however the course material gets kind of tough as the course progresses. Homework and attendance are not mandatory, but you will not do well if you don't come to class or attempt the homework.

Comment:

Tended to be bored most of the time...gives a take home part of each test which is completed before you take the other half...gives homework which will be added together for one of your test grades. Definatly knows his stuff, but pay attention or you'll get lost. Can take the final early if you dont want to wait until final day.

Comment:

Really nice guy. Little scatter brained but still helpful. Class isn't too difficult, no mandatory homework, only like three tests and the exam has the same problems as the tests so if you know how to do them you will do well on the exam, atleast for my class

Comment:

he lets you use the formula sheet in the back of the book on all of the quizzes, test, and even the final. i made an A and that was with making a 77 on the first test because i didnt know we had a test that day. no attendance, but go to class because it helps you make a good grade. roll a fair die...

Comment:

Great professor! Lectures are quite confusing at anytimes but he will spend a class going over the homework assignments that people didn't understand. You don't have to go to class unless you have to turn in a hw assignment or take a test. Do the homework and turn it in...it helps your grade alot. This is the Professor to take!!!

He's like a big teddy bear, and he has the goofiest smile--love it! He's very patient and helpful and thorough with even the stupidest questions. Optional hw, but it helps with quizzes.

So true - that he makes him self laugh. He will walk over to the the left corner of the class room put his knee up and just start to tell a story going of on a tangent. Absoluty entertaining and hilarious to watch. I made an 'A'

Golightly is awesome! He doesn't have an attendance policy, and if you go to at least 1/2 the classes; you'll make an A. LOVE HIM. He's also very easy to work with outside of class. He doesn't even care if you get up and walk out of class. VERY LAID BACK. The class can get VERY boring, but it'

There's no attendance policy, so that's good, but his classes are really boring and sometimes confusing. Study using text book and you should do just fine!
