I've looked through a lot of the reviews, and I think many people really enjoyed their time in his class. I agree he is enthusiastic and authentic, which allows you to take a lot from the class. However, he is also a harsh and inconsistent grader. It can also be difficult to ask him questions.2301 2025-11-20 16:02:17 +0000 UTC
This is long overdue—Golden's Lean Design course in 2023 was the best class I took at Northeastern. I'm now a software engineer and still hear his voice when I hit roadblocks: “What would Golden do?” His clear, no-nonsense advice shaped how I work today. Take his class, listen, and learn. Thanks, Professor!ENT3330 2025-08-07 16:05:47 +0000 UTC
Absolutely amazing guy, would definitely take it again. Down to earth, he isn't fake, which is relieving. Has the life experiences to back his points/lessons, which I think every professor should have yet so many don't.CLASS 2025-03-04 01:55:13 +0000 UTC
Memorable: circles exercise, making spaghetti, einstein, choosing dinner, mix-ups, and fabulous life stories. Get a good group or make a good group. Lots of reading, tough on grading.ENTR2301 2025-02-06 13:28:49 +0000 UTC
This was one of my favorite courses at Northeastern and he is a great professor. You can tell how knowledgeable he is in the course material by how well he can teach and explain it. The lectures were interesting, enriching, and engaging. The professor always encouraged our participation. MAybe a little too much reading, get on a good team!ent2301 2024-12-17 22:36:33 +0000 UTC
Professor Golden is the epitome of a masterful instructor, someone every student should aspire to emulate. While he can be demanding and occasionally confrontational, he consistently delivers in every class. Follow his guidance, and you'll thrive. I highly recommend him for any cornerstone business course.E3330 2024-10-17 02:09:32 +0000 UTC
One of the best classes I have taken! The professor did an amazing job of guiding us through the complex journey of being an entrepreneur, giving thorough insights, project tasks, and overall advice that can translate to growth in a wide array of career paths and industries.ENTR3330 2024-01-14 16:37:26 +0000 UTC
This is my last semester at Northeastern and I am truly glad that I took this class as my capstone. Crazy fast paced course and he can be brutely honest in his feedback, It was the one class that I had a professor who really cared, not a robot. I love how he relates the material to his personal experiences. I wish that I had taken him earlier.ENTR3300 2023-12-08 02:42:45 +0000 UTC
Prof. Golden was very enthusiastic and had a lot of practical knowledge to share. He was a great teacher! It was the class I learned the most in.

This class was online async. Extremely group project heavy. Multiple required meetings throughout the semester. The course content is straightforward and all individual assignments are essentially busywork. The canvas is fairly disorganized and assignments instructions can be unclear. Prof. Golden himself is very enthusiastic and responsive.INNO2301 2025-06-12 04:12:46 +0000 UTC
Used class time eff ectively, rubrics were clear for presentations so we knew exactly what was expected of us, also let us knowwhen a certain concept came up that would appear on fi nal exam.2301 2025-05-18 23:04:23 +0000 UTC
