"Dr. Guldin was nothing but a wonderful professor. She offered great feedback, always made time to meet with me when I needed it, and was very fair in her grading.

"Dr. Guldin is one of the best professors I've ever had during my time at Denison (I'm a senior). Our final project involved us teaching our classmates about a topic of our choosing. Dr. Guldin laid out clear tactics, ideas, and a framework to help craft together each of our lessons. This illuminated how difficult it can be to relay information to individuals but also help them resonate with whatever you're teaching them. Every lesson Dr. Guldin presented was put together just the same way. I loved being a part of this class and particularly enjoyed the environment created within the classroom by the professor and the students." - Anonymous, Denison University, Fall 2023, COMM 328 - Comm Law
