Comment:

Golski is the worst. She does not respect her job or her students, shows up late every day, cancels class, rambles about nothing during lecture, then gives an unrelated exam. If you have taken her once, you know the extent of her knowledge and could probably teach her course. She is unclear, extremely disorganized and frankly lazy. waste of time.

This is the most unorganized teacher I have had. There is no set schedule for assignments. No order to the syllabus. Her online sections are a total mess. Avoid her if possible.

I have had her for both online and in person. I definitely recommend taking her in person. Online is very unclear and confusing. In person she is very helpful and makes sure you understand material. Is a character but ultimately cares about her students.

AWFUL. This is an online class, some of us took this because we have 5+ classes, children, full-time jobs. Initial info wasn't made available until 3 days after school started. Then two weeks we are waiting around because no assignments are posted. Then! Posts HW but only gives us a few days to complete. HORRIBLE organization. She gets an F.

Comment:

Despite what a lot of people say Golski is really cool. At first I was frustrated, but then I went and talked to her in person and really felt a lot better. She is a bit kooky, but really cool and keeps it real. So my big suggestion would be to GO TO OFFICE HOURS, they will really help you like and she's willing to chill and talk.

Comment:

Absolutely worst class & prof ever. Took online for summer & holy goodness. What a disorganized disaster. Syllabus is like reading something from ancient times with no clear directions. Her work is the hardest thing you'll ever do. She's terrible at emails & explaining. Group projects SUCK and she's in love with google docs. Such a frustrating mess

Comment:

Worst class I have ever taken. Was online and during the summer, so very condensed. Of the 6 weeks of modules that were in the syllabus, only 4 were assigned. Assignments were opened late, and due dates were constantly rearranged last minute. She rarely would answer emails, and when she did responses were rude. Never got a grade back on anything.

Comment:

You will get these quizzes that are 11-13 questions multiple choice and short answer and only have 15 minutes to complete it, which means if you don't know you fail. She gives homework for everyday. You better do the group projects fast because you will fail. She doesn't make you buy a textbook, but you will have other things to buy for the course.

Comment:

She is a good professor who I would take again. She goes into long rants sometimes when a question is asked, but always answered and applied a lot of course related vocab to the question. She loves being asked questions and is a fair professor. She gives her classroom a positive vibe and loves what she does.

Comment:

I loved Professor Golski. You have to pay attention in class and don't be afraid to ask questions, she prefers people who communicate with her during lectures. If you miss a class though, you are going to be put in a tough spot. Attendance is not graded but she gives homework, reading responses, and random grades for class work often so don't skip.

Comment:

Golski is extremely intelligent and discusses very engaging topics; however, she is not much of a people person. She doesn't like questions to be asked, but will end up answering it in the long run. I loved the material being taught, but she expects way too much compared to what she teaches. She's an extremely tough grader as well.

She was an amazing teacher. She threw a lot of assignments and information at us, but in that she made it really easy to learn and almost impossible to not keep up with the work. He classes are difficult to do perfect in but almost impossible to fail or get less than a B

Comment:

Dr. Golski is one of my favorite professors at Rider! The class is interesting but challenging. She makes you learn the material, not jut read it. If you want to get something out of a class besides just a grade, take her! If not, go elsewhere. Papers are on the easy side, exams were challenging.

Comment:

Dr. Golski is by far one of the best professors I've had in my entire experience with higher education. She can seem intimidating in that she expects you to actually learn the material rather than just study it, but as long as you abide by a semi-rigorous regimen in your work, you should do well in her class and find yourself wanting to learn more.

Difficult class but it's a difficult subject. She does want you to do well. Don't miss a class, otherwise you might have to catch up with a tutor or meet in her office to help review. Tests are hard, be prepared to study alot and you will do well. She gives extra-credit don't miss that opportunity. She's funny and makes class interesting.

Comment:

She is the worst stat teacher. She always talks in circles and never clearly explains the lesson. She expects you to teach yourself everything and acts as if you are lazy if you don't. Every time you ask her a question she gives you sarcastic remark and doesn't answer your question. DONT TAKE HER...at least not for stat.

She is a very nice lady, and she cares. She's funny and knows what she's talking about when it comes to the subject. Her exams are a bit hard, and she lets you have a cheat sheet for the quizzes. You have to read the book to understand.

Comment:

i actually really enjoyed dr. golski's class. you have to do a lot of reading but she gives you open note reading quizzes so as long as you read and take notes you can ace. she lets you create a "cheat sheet" for all the tests so thats really helpful and i'd say her tests were really fair. she includes extra credit questions in the test.
