He genuinely cares about his students and immediately learns everyone's names. He is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and just a beautiful person. It's a lit class, so there's a lot of reading, but the books are fantastic and meaningful. I wish I could learn more from him.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/631884","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":3.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:10:01.561395+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTMwMzEyMzY1","source_instructor_id":"rmp:631884","instructor_name":"Richard Goodkin","course_label":"LITTRANS209","course_id":"LITTRANS 209","course_uid":"course_b19ce17fb81536e0941fcfc1","review_date":"2018-07-01 16:54:33 +0000 UTC","comment":"There is a lot of reading for this class (about 8 books), but I really enjoyed it!

Dr. Goodkin is not only wildly intelligent and interesting to listen to, but he cares so much about his students' success. The books you read are amazing (and I am NOT a literature buff).
