Comment:

Brother Goodwin is your classic, slightly boring calculus professor. Math 150 is a data science class that teaches tableau, but the class is basically Math 221(intro to stats) but you use tableau. So yeah, too much stats. Boring lectures that tend to go off course. The tableau practice is great though

Taking this class in Zoom is so hard and you will spend almost every day of the week doing homework. Brother Goodwin is caring and he knows a lot about Math, but he may explain things differently from what is required in the exams. Make sure you learn things from MyMathLab homework so you do great in the exams and ask questions all the time.

I was on the fence about him for most of the semester. Many times he just went on a tangent about stuff that wasn't important to class. I felt like I taught myself 90 percent of the material because it wasn't covered in class. He is kind but not the most efficient teacher. There's a reason this class is 5 credits. Don't expect to cruise through.

This is the second time I have taken his class. He explains equations and formals in ways that YouTube doesn't and books won't. Ask questions, you'll get answers, he likes questions. Paracelsus can be more than a part time job, but Goodwin makes it doable. If you struggle with his class, it's probably you. Fight the waitlist, it's worth the effort.

Brother Goodwin is an amazing professor. He makes math so easy to understand. He is very funny and his lectures are captivating so you can't help but learn. He is the only math teacher I have ever had who understands the side of the student. He works with you from the ground up. He doesn't try to pull you up to his level. He knows his stuff!

Good guy, really loved his class. Would sometimes go on a tangent and made me want to leave class. But he cares about his students and will work with you to see what you can improve on! Do the homework , it will definitely make a difference in your grade. Bro G is a solid teacher, I definitely recommend him!

If there is a perfect model a Math Professor, that is Br. Goodwin. If you have a chance to be his student, please go ahead. He is amazing, kind, understanding and makes the class interactive and not boring. I would take all my math classes with him if it was possible. He makes the most complicated thing seems simple and possible.

Before taking this class, I couldn't stand math, let alone Pre-Calculus. Professor Goodwin is an exceptional and engaging teacher. There's a lot to cover in the curriculum, but his natural sense of humor and interesting tangents are not only a relief in class but helpful to each topic at hand. I'd gladly take any class from him again.

I've always hated math but he definitely made it enjoyable. He was super understanding and caring. He'd play music at the end of class sometimes and show funny pictures throughout the class and the homework. I'd take his class every time!

I had a very difficult time in this class. It felt pointless to come to class because most of the time we were not taught anything, which was hard when it was time to do HW or take tests. Brother Goodwin is very nice and understanding, but I really wish we were taught the material we were expected to know.

Hes dope. He has sly little stupid dad jokes that I love and make class so much better. He explains new concepts in a very coherent way and will help you out if you struggle. He also give out stickers he got from his mission to anyone who get 100% on any test, which I think is really cool. Super glad I took him and yes, would take again.

Brother Goodwin is so great. If you want a professor with awkward dad humor, total math nerd status, and a great testimony in the gospel, he's a wonderful choice. He adds a few elements to his class that other professors don't, but it's totally worth the extra work because it's made to benefit you in the long run. He does lecture quite a bit.

Brother Goodwin is a wonderful math teacher. He definitely knows his stuff. I feel like I knew what I was doing with all of his help. I also loved his projects, they were very interesting and related back to the gospel, not just busy work. I loved his helpful videos that he posts and would say he is super relaxed and funny. LOVE HIM

I LOVED this class! Brother Goodwin is not only hilarious, but is a very good math teacher! I ended the class with a 97 and would 100 percent take a class from him again. He loves math which truly shows in his class and makes it easy to understand for others. Don't waste your time with any other teacher!

Brother Goodwin was an exceptional professor. He is very good at making the material fun, yet you learn a lot as you do it. He is very good at making this class a good life learning class, all the things we learn about can be used in the real world. I would highly recommend taking him, when you put in the work, you will get an A.

Brother Goodwin likes to add in parts of the curriculum that were originally used but have been cut by the department and they are extremely useful. Most of class time is spent in lecture. It's good to pay attention, but the online instruction helps too. He finds great ways to incorporate gospel discussion as well.

This teacher has been absolutely amazing. Not only does he grasp the concepts he is teaching, but he also delves deeper into content. His in class discussion are so informative, and he does a nice job of providing adequate help in order to exceed the expectation. You have to take from Br. Goodwin for 108! Such an amazing teaching. :)
