Poor
Professor Goodman as a person is really friendly. I like how casual class was, However, he teaches poorly. The class is disorganized or unclear with lots of useless information. He only briefly touches on topics, making it hard to identify what's important or not. Also, last semester, his office hours were very limited and at a bad time. A lot of the class is improv and it shows.
Average
Prof. Goodman is an amazing and hilarious prof. However, I feel like the class is run poorly. Slides would be empty or populated with lots of info that we don't actually go over in class which makes the lecture slides essentially useless to study from. You won't pass if you do not take notes. Some of the questions aren't even covered.
Poor
Goodman tried to be nice throughout the class, however he made inappropriate jokes and lost focus on the material. The class was absolutely non sense, and his teaching style is too casual. I recommend to get a better sense of the materials that he will go over (which he assumes you know already) is to read the textbook before his class.
