Student Quotes
“Professor Goldberg has a great comprehension of not only what he is teaching but also how to create an environment that allows students to explore the less traditional route for the outline of the class. He makes the class feel fun while educational without being forced.”
“Professor Goldberg is always very down to earth and personable. He is very fun and well humored, and I look forward to his lectures simply to hear his opinions on pieces that I did not know exactly what to make of. I like that he approaches writing for what it is: an art.”
“I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the lectures and inviting discussions led by Professor Goldberg over the stories we read. I have gained so much knowledge about storytelling and reading literature in an inspective way, to find the theme, character development, and setting.”
“[He has] the ability to listen to his students as well as make them feel safe talking to him. He’s not just teaching because it’s his job; he’s teaching because it’s something he’s passionate about. That is very apparent.”
