Really, really great professor all around. He has great feedback when it comes to the papers you have to write for this class. He relies heavily on participation so if you don't like participating, good luck. The transition to online was very smooth with him.

Comment:
Probably the most amusing class I could have taken. Goss managed to make discussions about the most dull subjects amusing. All in all though, I did walk away from this class feeling like I learned A LOT. I highly recommend taking this class. Just make sure you put effort into your writing assignments and you'll pass this class with flying colors.

Prof. Goss was freaking awesome; he was sarcastic, but very understanding of heavy situations discussed within our coursework.

Professor Goss is honestly a really nice guy, but he treats students like we're in elementary school. Easiest class in the world, just be prepared to roll your eyes a lot.

He's very chill and easy to approach. He wasn't as easy of a grader as my previous core professor but if you do the work you're bound to get an A or B.

I have mixed feelings about Proff. Goss. Some days he's alright, and makes class okay to sit in. Most of the time his discussions go no where- he has trouble keeping the discussion going. He's really akward. I had him for second semester of CORE and I def. wanted my old CORE proff back after having Goss.

Comment:
Prof Goss is a really nice guy and passionate about teaching. I had him for CORE both semesters, and he did a pretty good job of making a worthless class more interesting. His classes are all discussion, so being prepared is pretty important, but it's also pretty easy to get the conversation to move away from the text.

if you like to talk take this class. very easy but i didn't learn a thing. it's all discussion based but isn't that deep. you dont' talk much about literature but more about how it relates to life. don't expect literally analysis.

You can definitely tell he was a philosophy major -- he will spend the entire class period discussing like one page of a book. If you're really into analyzing literature then take him, if not expect to be frequently bored in his class. Very nice prof though, cares about his students.
