Most Helpful Review
Spring 2024 - I am writing this review as someone who is a non-stem major, but had an interest in bio and gene editing. Professor Goldberg's teaching style is a bit different than other courses with his exam format and his tendency to challenge students with his questioning. This had put me off in the beginning of the course, but I've realized that he does this because he really cares about students actually learning something in his class. On such a subject as genetic engineering, there is a lot of confusion and misunderstanding, but after this class, you will definitely understand as much as you can about it without getting a specialized stem degree. This class took me back to when I considered being a bio major in high school, and made me realize that I still love learning about science and biology even though I chose a different track. I highly recommend taking Goldberg's class whenever it's offered; it won't be easy, but it's worth all the work you put into it.
