Comment:

At the end of the day, chemistry is not an easy subject no matter who teaches it. If you want to learn, it'll be hard. Goll is not easy, but he has one of the highest ratings in the department for a reason. He's funny and knows how to teach. Failing a class doesn't make the professor bad, contrary to what many of the ratings on here seem to think.

Comment:

Funny guy, good professor. Knows his stuff, has outlines for all the chapters plus powerpoint so it's easy to follow along and pass with a good grade. Loves his signs. Lots of extra credit. Honestly I'm upset that I couldn't take him for 102 as well. If you show up, pay attention, and know how to study it isn't hard at all to pass with an A.

Comment:

Although Prof. Goll is a funny guy and seems to be very smart, it does not at all correlate to his teaching abilities. The lectures will drag, and if you don't have the slightest clue about chemistry before taking this class, don't expect the end result to be any different. The tests are extremely hard so bust your tail if you do end up taking.

Comment:

I would never take this professor again. He went on and on about all his qualifications, but I noticed he never mentioned taking a class about LEARNING HOW TO TEACH. Therefore, he DOES NOT explain the information very well. Also a very harsh grader. I did all the outside class work he offered and still greatly struggled on the tests, as did others.

Comment:

took for an online course, had to drop. To give you insight I have gotten all A's in microbio, AP 1, AP 2 and bio. Online chem is hard and this teacher doesnt seem to care about that. the way his material is broken down in canvas is hard to follow/incohesive. tests are 60% of the grade! These were the HARDEST tests I have ever taken!

Goll is a great professor. Although the material can be challenging, his lectures are very straightforward. His notes are clearly outlined and potentially become study guides for Exams. He is good at explaining the topics that appear to be tough and really makes sure everyone understands the material.

He is an amazing professor. He is a bit tough on grading, but only Becca he wants you to learn whats right and wrong. He. Has funny stories and really wants his students to succeed. He is also has you take really notes during lecture. I wish he taught every chemistry here!

Comment:

Im no genius in chemistry and its challenging but Eric is a great teacher. He is accessible outside of class and his notes in his packets are on point with the material on tests and quizzes. He gives plenty of extra credit to boost your grade and wants to see you pass but you HAVE TO STUDY. Highly recommend taking him.

Comment:

Goll understands the material but doesn't understand how to teach it in a correct fashion. he always has a very condescending tone when answering a question making you feel really stupid for even asking it. his grading is so harsh that i advice you not to take this class it will leave you being more stressed than it needs to be.

Comment:

Theres no way of getting around the fact that chemistry is just a difficult subject. If you want an A, itll be like the 1st ionization energy of Fluorine; it requires a lot energy. Goll does tend to fly through lectures but if you read the Unit Review sheets, do the practice problems he sends out and take good notes, youll be fine.

Comment:

His notes are good, and should be enough to study for a test. He also offers plenty of extra credit. Work off his notes, pay attention to stuff he says in lectures, and you should be fine. He likes to tell stories of dumb things students have said/done in the past too. I know this because it's the only thing I remember from his lectures. Funny guy.

Eric is a great teacher... before I met him, I really struggled with chemistry. In fact, I was a few electrons short of an octet. However, Goll has provided me with the knowledge and encouragement necessary to undergo hybridization and form new orbitals! I would def take his class again!

Comment:

Goll is the best professor at Brookdale and makes Chemistry more simple and enjoyable. If you go to class and take all notes, you should have no problem doing really well. He tells you exactly whats on quizzes/exams. He really is a personable and funny guy, but you have to pull him out of his valence shell and reconfigure his electrons to see :)

Comment:

Goll is the best science professor Ive ever had. Before I took his class, I could barely use a calculator or round a significant figure. but after having Him for chem, I won 1st place at the stem bowl and Im considering getting my BA In chem. He is the catalyst that has Lowered my activation energy and helped me to reach my full potential

Eric is a nice guy that definitely knows his stuff, however he has trouble sharing his knowledge efficiently. His lectures are monotone and boring, and they seem to drag. He is nice and smart but definitely boring and not personable.

Overall, Goll is a great teacher. However, he takes off points if you make an error on a quiz or test. I found this to be upsetting because I am only human and we all make mistakes...I would take his class again

This is Lauren from chem 102! I really enjoy Eric's class. However, there were numerous times when I asked to see copies of the quizzes or tests in advance and he refused! This is very disappointing, as I am a very busy individual. Eric, if you are reading this, your welcome for the positive rating! I would definitely take his class again.

Goll is awesome! He explains things thoroughly and genuinely wants to see his students do well! I will definitely take him for 102. He wouldn't allow me to take a quiz at a later date even though my friend's dad's girlfriend died (but in all fairness, I never met her before)... Eric is great and I cannot wait to have class again with him!
