His lectures are incredible and summarize the readings incredibly well. He also really listens to your contributions and builds off of them. If you are interested in the subject of his courses, I would recommend",

    "comment": "Despite this course having a ton of heavy reading, Prof Goldberg made every lecture engaging and clear. Grading was based on attendance, pass/fail reading reflections, and 2 take-home exams that were very clear if you went to lectures and did the readings. Take this class with him if you get the chance!",

He takes attendance every class and it is a part of the final grade so be aware. Overall he is a great lecturer and seems to really care. However, I probably wouldn't recommend taking soc475 unless you have to.",
