Very unclear grading criteria. He didn't even read the case study I sent him and gave me a random grade. You won't know where you got points off from.INB201 2018-06-28 15:13:21 +0000 UTC
Quite an old professor who has his merits. He has years of experience in the business field and has a unique humor. Fun, easy-going class overall and professor.INTB1203 2018-06-21 13:59:24 +0000 UTC
Probably oldest professor I ever had. He can barely hear and makes weird grunting noises. However, he is super knowledgable and has great stories to tell. He is also really sweet when you talk to him in person. His exams do not reflect in class lectures at all so read the textbook and powerpoint slides.INTBU7686 2018-05-08 20:27:14 +0000 UTC
Hard 2 fit overview in 350chars. Goldberg is a nice guy. I like him. But he cannot hear anyone >3ft away unless they're yelling at an uncomfortable volume. He grades EVERYTHING during the last week, gives ZERO feedback, does not know how to manage Blackboard, starts class 15 minutes late, doesn't follow syllabus, & doesn't respond to emails.

I haven't come across any professor that knows so much and is so passionate about what he does. He's funny and makes international business (which is pretty boring itself) fun to learn about, especially when he tells all of his personal stories. He can make the class laugh almost every session with his dry, witty humor. Love him! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!INBU203 2017-06-05 16:16:58 +0000 UTC
He is a terrible instructor as he cannot properly hear, and does not teach the text book. He constantly complains about having to read and correct students work; that is your job! Despite getting an A in the class, I found him to be arrogant and moody, and he should be replaced with someone who is devoted to helping students learn.STRT4501 2016-12-28 17:32:43 +0000 UTC
he has a lot of experience, but also has hearing problems. did everything for the class but got a C.BUSIN1101 2012-01-10 16:12:26 +0000 UTC
He teaches you about business and about life with entertaining stories, comments, and insight. I learned a lot from this man, and I thought he was a great professor.CBA101 2009-11-13 11:47:34 +0000 UTC
Great storiesINTROBIZ 2009-09-10 23:46:52 +0000 UTC
has be my easiest class this semester. laid-back, cool, which also means less passionate about his job now. sometimes you wonder if your money is wasted, but the other times, it feels like worth every penny listening to his experience. i don't know if i would recommend to him to everyone.INBU201 2008-12-10 13:55:03 +0000 UTC
Prof. Goldy! Highly intelligent. Has you take endless notes w/ his slideshows in the beginning until he gets bored of them himself and begins to tell you his amusing anecdotes. Secretly takes attendance. Ridiculously easy class if you read the textbook (for the few quizzes he gives). Do well on the class project (huuuge part of your grade).CBAU101 2008-11-19 00:25:19 +0000 UTC
Bobby Gberg! this old lovable man cant hear a thing and will give you a blank stare, makes you do stupid presentations. He didnt like the two kids from france or their perrrrrforrrmance, Globus is a waste of time. he even forced huffy to go back to singapore. Overall the class was a joke and no one paid attention. for an 8am class he was there at 6MGTU501 2008-01-25 10:36:53 +0000 UTC
This guy is awesome. He is a very nice, old man and has so much knowledge to share. He is brilliant and his lessons usually involve his work experience, but you learn so much. Show up to class, he takes attendance without you knowing! Maybe 2 or 3 quizzes, with a HUGE semester long project. Do not wait until the last minute to start the project!INTROU111 2008-01-04 16:38:39 +0000 UTC
Great guy, full of knowledge, he's done everything. His classes are sometimes hard to sit through because the lectures can get boring but he knows what he's talking about so try and pay attention. He takes attendence secretly so make sure you always go! He knows who everyone is.INTRO101 2007-11-08 21:15:28 +0000 UTC
