Comment:

Seems intimidating at first, but is just very determined and passionate, not mean. Is very accommodating and considers what students like best. Posts lectures online. Assignments are so straight forward and relevant. She makes it very clear what she is asking. Assignments do not test on nit-picky details, just overarching concepts in the lectures.

Professor Golden is the most caring prof I ever had at Ryerson. She would always ask if the class if we understand the material during the weekly Zoom meetings. In any case, she puts student as top priority and thus, her assignments are reasonable and informative. I truly learned a lot from Professor Golden and wish to take a course with her again!

Very sweet and understanding prof. Always there for you if you reach out, she even offers extensions under certain circumstances (but don't use that as an excuse smh). She is a very tough cookie, and has good knowledge of the world. She really opens your eyes to things!

Professor Golden is one of my favorite professors I have had in my first year so far. She really cares about her students and wants them to succeed. She cares a lot about her students well-being and mental health. She gives extensions as needed and truly cares about her work. I really enjoyed being in her class!

Loved professor Golden. She was very engaging in lectures and the content was fairly straightforward. Didn't have to do all the readings and still got a good grade as the slides had important info for exam. There was a midterm, participation marks but mostly short assignments where you watched vids or read articles and answered short questions.

Jean can be intimidating at first, but she's a very caring professor and an amazing lecturer. Her assignments were very easy, however the exam was a bit tricky. If you do your best on the written assignments, show up for the extra participation marks later on in the course (she tells you when), it'll be easy to get an A despite the exam.

Jean was intimidating at first but quickly became one of my favourite profs. She's willing to assist during office hours and provides good feedback. It's easy to do well on her movie assignments bc of their simplicity. Final was harder than expected, lots of long readings and you could get by without the 1% book she recommends. Interesting class!

Don't bother doing the first few readings, as only the last couple are on the exam. The two assignments were VERY easy and if you go to office hours you will get an A. The exam was quite challenging, so just study the review very well and focus on the textbook. Don't buy the 1% book, it's a waste of money!! Jean is a good prof.

Jean is awesome!!!! At first I wasn't a fan, but that's because she is very straight forwards. She might come off as rude or intense, however after a few weeks with her you'll realize that she's just super experienced and doesn't have time to waste. I honestly love this prof and would take the course again.

Jean Golden was one of the best professors I've had at Ryerson. Although she may seem intimidating at best, she truly does care about her students. She is extremely wise and knowledgable on a number of diverse topics. Her final was difficult, however, her lectures and personal charm make it all worthwhile. I sincerely am grateful to have had her.

Jean is an inspirational woman who puts her heart into what she teaches. She hosts a strong and fierce personality for a woman and this shouldn't be anything to feel intimidated by. She's incredibly knowledgable and wants her students to succeed. A lot of easy assignments, moderately difficult exam and interesting lecture content. 10/10 class.

At the beginning, Jean did seem to be a little intimidating, but as the semester progressed, she became less intimidating. She was such a great prof and had such great stories to tell and share. She is an easy marker and gives easy assignments. There was an in-class exam, that was T/F + MC, that was a little difficult (based on readings and videos)

This was a unique course based in the Bahamas in which we volunteered at a school for people with disabilities. Jean was incredible at organizing all the logistics and caring for our group of students. The work was reflective, collaborative, and incredibly rewarding. Definitely take the chance to get to know Jean at her office hours
