Comment:

Professor Golden was one of the most passionate professors I have ever had. She went out of her way to make sure that students were getting the most of her class, which is something I rarely have seen in other teachers. This class and Professor Golden changed my life and opened my eyes as a student.

Comment:

Carla's a great philosopher and her class readings are amazing but her expectations for students aren't always very clear. Weekly papers and the end of semester paper require personal insight as well as being sure you're writing about where she wants you to go. I use things I learned in this class everyday but it was tough to get through.

Comment:

I took Psych of Women the Spring 2015 semester and it was honestly the best class I've taken here. Carla is spunky, brilliant and really dedicated to teaching her students and providing good feedback. This class is a MUST for women interested in issues of gender and gender inequality,I came out of it much more confident about myself & my experience

Carla is absolutely wonderful and I would recommend Psych of Women to everyone and anyone. The course is eye-opening and thought-provoking, Carla is passionate and engaging, and I wasn't bored for a second in the class. Two-page essays are due weekly and are graded pretty fairly but you do have to put in a fair amount of effort and actually read.

Comment:

Carla helps you think critically about women's roles while using psychology as a reference. Though she is critical and tough on grading she pushes you to do well. She is definitely one of my favorite professors I have had. She is very lively and interested in what she is talking about.

Comment:

Carla is a good professor. I loved her class but it was very tough for me. She expects you to attend class and be ready to engage. Her course requires a different level of thinking and I was not prepared for that. It has taken me an entire semester to learn how to think more critically and intellectually. It's hard but an excellent experience.

Carla is a great professor and has lots of wisdom and experience. In order to do good in this class you have to go to every class, turn in a paper every week, and participate. It's a lot of work. I've learned a lot.

Comment:

Carla is a really awesome professor, but her class is difficult. You have to write a paper every week, and she doesn't grade very nicely. I'm not a big writer, so I didn't really like this class. I learned a ton about the world and myself, more than any other class had shown me, but my grade didn't reflect it which is frustrating.

Carla has been teaching for over 20 years -- She has the wisdom, clarity, and experience of a veteran but the enthusiasm and drive of a newbie. Her class will change your life and change the way you see the world. She puts in a lot of effort and expects no less from you. Expect to work, but expect to be fully engaged! LOVED HER, LOVED THE CLASS.

carla is a wonderful professor and I promise you will learn a lot about the subject and yourself. But, most importantly, she's a teacher who cares. She wants to hear what YOU think as much as she wants to share her own thoughts. A professor like Carla is rare...take a class with her if you can.

This was the best class that I took in my 4 years at IC. Carla really opens your eyes to so many things happening around you. There are a lot of writing requirements and she's tough, but it's well worth it in the end. Great class!

Comment:

Dr. Golden is easily one of the smartest people in the town of Ithaca. She is extremely opinionated and liberal, and will challenge your assumptions about the world, but she has the knowledge to back it up. Doesn't use textbooks, more of a variety.
