Comment:

I would not take this professor again. Although the class itself wasnt hard, he has no ability to grade anything and doesnt use CANVAS, the primary form of grading at UD, so you do not know your actual grade unless you ask directly or right before the class is over! He seems too old to continue to teach unable to move with the times.

you have to go to class to pass & you're not allowed to use your computer. you have to take notes hand written & there's a swimming portion (is not that bad). definitely not my favorite prof and if you aren't paying attention he calls you out on it. class is repetitive & kind of boring

BHAN301 is definitely whatever you decide to make of it. It can be a very inspiring and uplifting course for many people, and many people in the class become very close friends. Dr. Goodwin is the perfect professor for a course such as this as he really cares about each and every one of his students. I recommend 301 to any graduating seniors.

Hes a really nice guy but the way he grades homework is actually ridiculous. he grades it like an english class and based on his own opinions. i havent gotten a 100 on a hw all year which is out of either 3 or 10 pts. he took 10 points off some girls final grade for having her phone out and said calculating our midterms was a waste of his time

This course was a history class about The Modern Olympic Games and Dr. Goodwin definitely knows his stuff. He also had guest speakers for some classes including an Olympic Champion. The material itself is not too difficult, however the exams are entirely free response, so you really need to pay attention and study, but this was my favorite class.

Professor Goodwin was a godsend for UNIV 101. He is such a great guy and really gives freshman a beacon of hope from as a staff member. He is super funny and does some pretty great magic tricks in class. Our UNIV class didn't use the common reader at all and we were only graded on small projects that took little to no effort. Would highly recommend

His class was suppose to be a fun learning class to work with kids which it was but he was such an odd grader. He never posted grades or kept track of grades so you don't even know how to fight your grade. He gave me a whole two letter grades below what I originally got and I had to call his advisor. I still think I did better then what he gave me.

I got A's on every assignment and test but ended with a grade that did not represent that because I missed four classes out of the entire semester. Goodwin just likes to hear himself talk and his classes lectures get off topic every class. The material is extremely easy, but he is so unclear about assignments, I dreaded this class.

Dr. Goodwin is a great professor. He loves to tell corny jokes but genuinely cares about his students which shows. He is very dedicated in making sure you learn through your own experiences with the kids that come on Friday. Attendance is mandatory and even takes off points if your late to class.

Awesome person outside the classroom, does magic tricks when he thinks we're bored (the material is super boring). Plays music before class, attendance is strict. Very confusing when it comes to articulating what he wants in an assignment, very hard grader. His tests are long, and you're wrist will be dead for a day after you take it.

Takes attendence way too seriously for a class that isn't reliant on it, which is why I dropped the course. An interesting man with lots of stories (and magic tricks!) to share, but a tough grader and unclear about what he wants on assignments. Not recommended.

Dr. Goodwin was not interested in teaching you factual information, he was interested in changing your attitude towards life, and I appreciated that. This class is phenomenal because it introduced me to the Yes U Can program. Get involved and take the class!

He deserves his name in Mentor Circle. He's such a great guy. Class attendance in MANDATORY - miss 3, automatic fail - but he's very understanding. Course material was very helpful applying/perfecting it in everyday life. Outside the class, he's very nice: gave great advice. Overall, take him!

One frustrating thing about the class is he takes off points for absences. Class content is easy. The exams are a little hard to study for because there is no study guide and questions are open-ended. But if you don't get an A, it's your own fault.

I enjoyed this class most of the time, he makes jokes that only he thinks are funny but it makes class enjoyable. The information is easy to understand, exams are not multiple choice but if you know the powerpoints, you'll get an A. Some small assignments, usually gives 9/10. I would recommend him.

His tests are strictly based off the powerpoints. However, he is an extremely picky grader. His writing assignments are graded based off grammar not content. Also, he favors people and looks down on others. (really shows by how he grades different people)

Comment:

Took his wellness class online. Tests are a lot of memorization. The readings are easy but he only has about 2 questions about them on the exam. A lot of short writing assignments but they aren't difficult. The exams are all cumulative so sometimes it was difficult to remember material from months ago on later exams. Overall an easy class though.
