Extremely tough, but incredible teacher. You will learn a lot, but I wouldn't recommend her unless you are an Econ major, it wont be worth the damage to your GPA (and the time it will take away from other courses).

Comment:

Not like any professor I've ever taken, but a great professor nonetheless. She has very clear grading criteria, you have homework once a week then the same group homework, tests are exactly what is taught in class but you have to know the info. If you don't go to class you won't pass. Very straightforward but also hard. Accessible outside class.

Explains things really well and very organized about the class material. Very clear grading criteria. If you work hard, you will get a good grade. Everything on the exam is what you would expect. Grading is very fair. Definitely recommend this professor.

Comment:

Despite some negative reviews about her, she really is a fantastic teacher for the field of economics. She has a lot of knowledge to give about it. The quizzes and tests do not throw any curveballs. The homework is pretty easy. Her personality is a little odd, but she is genuinely nice and really wants you to succeed and understand microeconomics.

She get's a bad rep because she's a very tough ECON101 professor and people think ECON101 should be easy. I took her class freshman fall and didn't get a good grade but learned a lot. I became thankful I was taking her once I got to Micro Theory.

Terrible teacher, super tough, is not lenient in the slightest and has a horrible attitude. Would highly advise anyone not to take her classes ever.

Amazing professor! I learned so much in her class and would definitely take her again despite how tough it was. It's awesome when you find a teacher who's so knowledgeable and passionate about the subject she teaches.

Comment:

She's EXTREMELY tough if you're a non-econ major. Left my GPA in ruins. Her tests are really tough and she cuts points on tests if you didn't solve the questions using the method she used in the class handouts. DO NOT TAKE HER.

Dr. McGoldrick is one of the best professors I've ever had!! She is very challenging and you are going to have to work hard for this class, but you're actually going to learn a lot! I highly recommend her if you're taking ECON for your major/minor. She's only strict, so that you take her class seriously. In reality, she's pretty funny and chill!!

Honestly the best professor I've ever had. She's extremely challenging and has high expectations, but she's also so willing to help and truly wants you to succeed. She comes to class very prepared and uses real-world examples and numbers. Highly recommend her if you're majoring in Econ.

Comment:

Dr.M is probably one of, if not the, best econ professor in the department. She is very tough and goes through the material fast but she is clear and consistent throughout the entire semester. I do not think I would have done well in this class if it weren't for her. She makes herself available for extra help. Tests are like homework. 10/10

Comment:

Dr. McGoldrick is not an easy professor, but she teaches you a lot of useful information and always applies it to real life and gets you to participate. Reading the book is necessary if you want to get the best grades on tests and quizzes, as some material is not covered in class. Requires a long paper, but is willing to help & gives good feedback.

McGoldrick is good professor. She knows her stuff & is organized when it comes to class schedule and office hours. Moves extremely fast however. There's never a second in class when you aren't writing something down or she isn't talking. Have to work very hard for good grade & be dedicated to it! Tough grader, nit-picky, and loves trick questions

Comment:

She is fair. What she teaches in class is what is on the tests. You didn't have to have taken economics before to do well in the class, but you do have to work hard and really study for the tests and quizzes. My biggest tip to doing well in this class is taking really good notes-write down everything that is on the board as well as what she says.

McGoldrick is the most amazing professor I ever have. She is very challenging but you leave with an amazing understanding of economics. Her lectures are engaging and she moves very fast. There are many opportunities for extra credit. She has amazing office hours and is always willing to help you. Although her class is hard, I would recommend it.

Comment:

Goes 200% throughout the entire block. Very good at explaining concepts, but moves very fast so you have to be able to pay attention and take notes. Very nitpicky about short answer questions and multiple choice is worth a lot. Gives extra credit if you haven't missed a class. Overall she is a very good professor and you will learn a lot.
