Fall 2021 - Professor Goeman is incredibly knowledgeable about Native American history. I was really interested in her lecture topics just because she gave a perspective that I never got in high school. She focused on the Native American perspective of colonialism and 18th-century history which was cool and we covered a lot that I didn't know before. She can be a little redundant at times and I understand getting bored but overall I really loved the class and I love that it fulfills 4 GEs, diversity AND writing while not being hard. Just one big paper due week 8 (media analysis, just like HS essay) and weekly readings which you can skim and leave a quick (required) comment on, although I recommend diving deep into some readings as you have to use them for the Final short answers.

Winter 2017 - As professors go, Professor Goeman is definitely in the bottom 5%. Her shrill voice and tangential, unclear, and disorganized lectures sucked the life out of me every single time. I could walk into the class overjoyed and full of energy and leave feeling as if I had run 2 marathons back-to-back after a week of sleep deprivation. I guarantee that you will lose all focus within 10 seconds of the lecture's start. You may not even last that long. The class overall, however, efficiently satisfies requirements, is pertinent, and mildly interesting.
