COMM88 . A Month Ago

-graded on a curve for a weeder class - weeks/chapters 1-4 were a breeze, and then she will drop tough ch.5-6 measurement/sampling on the class 1 week before midterms - she makes simple definitions a lot more complicated than they need to be (YouTube saved my life and showed simple applications of the material; DO NOT just memorize definitions!)

She is a kind professor, but her explanations were often unclear, even for simple topics. Questions were answered in very open-ended ways. The textbook was not very useful since she used her own definitions. Exams were long and included some trick questions.

Graded tests and essays easy. Super good curve. She was nice.

I really liked the way this class was taught. The exams were hard but she made it clear what to focus on and study. The group project was hard but the TAs helped a lot with some of the harder stuff. Study guides were also super useful

COMM88 . 1 Year, 4 Months Ago

Professor Gonzales was pretty intense. She had high expectations of us and taught in a somewhat passive-aggressive way. Her lectures were good and clear, but I felt intimidated by her and the TAs and the research project was daunting. Had to put in a lot of work for this class to get the grade I wanted.

People who do not do well in this class refuse to read the textbook and complain the professor was bad. She was not, she was very nice during office hours and seemed to really care about her students. I didn't attend lectures a lot, but when I was there people seemed to refuse to engage, but she tried to persuade them to.
