Good professor. Must read the book to pass weekly quizzes. Discussion posts MUST be at least 750 words which is kind of silly. It's a discussion post, not an essay.

Will avoid this professor at all costs. Does not offer help when needed, nor is he open minded to conflicting opinions of his. Very close minded. Claims he cares about his students but I believe otherwise.

I would avoid taking his online class at all costs. His tests always had issues. Correct answer would be marked incorrectly and then he would make you write why you think it should be marked correctly. I am sure he is fine in person but DO NOT take online.

Love Dr. Golden's online classes. Very straight forward. Read assigned chapters, take quizzes. No mid-term. No final. No required discussion posts. Take him for anything you can.

One of the very few instructors who knows and understands that we are adults and have work, kids, and school. Classes are very easy to follow and in order to succeed on your test you MUST READ the chapters and any provided information. I will take him again most definitely.

Police and society online. He just gives 14 tests troughout the semester. I took him for terrorism also and made an A but here I made a C. This class is everything about police that you dont really care to know. Glad the last rater got an A but I had to work hard for my C. The guy is cool and would take him again but on a more interesting topic

I took police and society online with Dr. Golden. Very organized class, with crystal clear instructions. If you read the text as directed, I don't see how anyone could not get an "A". Would definately take another class with Dr. Golden.

I took this class online. If you read the chapters you should get an "A". There is a test after every chapter, no midterm or final. I am already registered fr another one of Prof. Goldens classes. TAKE HIM you won't regret it.

Read your "flash cards" because the answers come off of that. Use the book during the "ONLINE" test with the flashcards and you ushould pass. Write down question,page and reread it. It usually mistakes it for a wrong answer. He will give YOU credit for showing him the mistake. no-one-else!!

I took him for Police and Society. He is a great instructor. All you have to do is read the notes that he provides. He comes off as he is hard, but he just wants you to do your work and learn. I would take him again. His online courses are a breeze.

This professor is very easy and laid back. I have taken three of his online classes and made an A in all three classes. He does not require discussions! I would recommend this professor to anyone.
