one of the best professors at DMSB. makes everything so easy to understand and has answers to every question. gives a lot of practice to understand material. exams can be difficult but are intellectually challenging. only downside is the group project which I felt was unnecessary especially at the very end of the semesterACCT2301 2025-05-02 17:00:53 +0000 UTC
Bill is a wonderful professor, he really made me like Accounting when I thought I would never. He's a very fair grader and he is very accessible outside of class. He also takes feedback from Group Evaluations very seriously. Overall, he's amazing, definitely take him!ACCT1209 2025-04-23 03:38:04 +0000 UTC
One of the best teacher's I've ever had. Passionate about what he's teaching, which will motivate you. His personality helps maintain focus during lectures. Pretty tough exams but they're fair so if you put in the hours, you will do well.ACCT6222 2019-07-02 17:49:19 +0000 UTC
One of the most creative and best professors I have ever had.ACCT2231 2019-05-07 20:48:53 +0000 UTC
Bill was very enthusiastic about the course he taught. He put effort and excitement into his lectures and made sure every single one of his students understood the material and didn't fall behind. I highly recommend this professor, he really helped me learn managerial accounting.FIN2301 2018-06-21 10:22:57 +0000 UTC
One of the best teachers I've ever had. Makes complex material extremely digestible. Very enthusiastic and excited, always cracking jokes. He's one of those teachers that puts inspirational memes Game of Thrones references on his tests. Answers in class questions very well. If you go to class and ask questions, the class will be a breeze.ACT1201 2018-04-12 13:14:15 +0000 UTC
Mans very hot, great and engaging in class, Wouldn't have been able to survive accounting without him. Also massive Game of Thrones fan, although the Ned Stark references made me cry in testsACCT1202 2017-12-10 17:12:29 +0000 UTC
I was absolutely terrible about accounting but he was so nice and really tried to help me understand. He never makes you feel bad about asking a question and is super understanding. This was the hardest class I have taken so far but he was probably the best teacher.FINU201 2017-09-18 18:39:11 +0000 UTC
Best accounting teacher in NEU (which is why he is the ACCT1202 teacher for BSIB). He is very knowledgable and will make the impossible for you to understand accounting. He is always there for students; he really cares. If you go to his office hours, read the textbook and make an effort, you should be able to get a B and above.ACCT12O2 2016-05-10 00:54:46 +0000 UTC
Bring back the chili pepper! Professor Bill is both very nice, a good teacher, and easy on the eyes. Seriously, he cares and is available for help.ACCT1201 2023-05-27 01:56:52 +0000 UTC
Bill is a great professor, and his reviews both on RMP and Trace definitely reflect that. He's very dedicated and willing to help all students, especially if you express that you want/need additional help. He is NOT an easy A, however. While it is possible to do well in his class, you need to put in the effort, and his exams are difficult.ACCT2301 2025-04-28 23:42:26 +0000 UTC
Prof. Goldman's online course was well-organized and taught me well. As long as you watch the lectures, read the text, and complete all the work, you should do fine on the (online unproctored) quizzes/exams. The only downside is the group project, where you are randomly assigned a group and for which the instructions aren't super clear for.ACCT1209 2025-04-23 02:58:58 +0000 UTC
Awesome class. We covered a ton of material but Bill breaks it down in an easy to understand manner. If you work, you should do well, especially with the curves.ACCT1202 2017-04-23 00:09:19 +0000 UTC
Bill is a great professor but you do have to work in order to succeed! Try your best and you will do well! Most every assignment is scaled.FINU201 2016-06-07 11:15:32 +0000 UTC
