Professor Goldberg was awesome. I really enjoyed his class. Goldberg had his lectures well organized; he's a very effective teacher. Slides are really emphasized on his tests and the only way you'll get those IDs right is if you go to class :( The upside to that is if you go to class - you'll do well in his class no problem. I definitely suggest this professor!

Professor Goldberg is an excellent professor to have. One of the best experiences that I got from UCLA's classes. His teachings show how much he cares about his subject, and he also shows that he cares about what his students learn too. His testings are not bad at all. I thought it would be hard, but quite straightforward, no tricky questions or anything. One of the most important thing about this class is to attend his lectures--only way to do well in that class. The class's website is very helpful too, because he posts summaries of his lectures and some pictures from the slides that he shown in class. The exams are quite simple because they consist of slide i.d.'s, maybe definition, and very easy short answer questions. The t.a. from your discussion does your grading, and they are not tough on you at all. Just that you get the right concepts down and the names of things at least sounds they are supposed to be. This is a definite class to take if you want to learn some interesting and amazing things about the B.C. civilation. Great class with a great professor and t.a.!
