Comment:

Prof. Goldman cares about her students , but she is also extremely unorganized. I feel that I learned almost nothing over the course of the semester, and probably would have learned significantly more if I had just sat at home reading the textbook instead of going to lecture.

Awful professor. Doesn't seem to care about teaching or the learning of her students. Always unprepared for class. Pretty unhelpful and rude during office hours.

Comment:

Quite literally the worst professor I've ever encountered. She may be really intelligent and successful in research, but someone with as little teaching skill as her has no place teaching at a university that advertises such a good education.

Comment:

Professor Goldman is not a helpful professor. She clearly shows that she is more interested in her research and studies than her students. While she "may" understand the material that she is "teaching", she doesn't know how to make students understand. She also is a really hard grader on papers, because she only knows how to write academic papers.

The exam is almost the same every year, so it is quite easy to get 90+ in the exam. However, the class is really boring and Goldman always makes everyone confuesd.

Class was very easy, but the material was made harder by her teaching. I don't think she conveys her thoughts very well.

Comment:

She was the WORST teacher I have ever had here at Michigan. She kills everything that she tries to teach and really doesn't know anything. I can't believe she got some award from Harvard for ANYTHING.

Comment:

Worst professor ever! The whole class is tedium and boredom. It's a shame that every MSE major at UM has to have the "Goldman Experience" sooner or later. But she's not representative of the rest of the department, so don't change majors beca
