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.
This is not something I normally do, but I have to for Gonzalez. She was by far the worst proffesor I have ever had. She clearly has a disregard for the students as she does not understand how to effectively teach. She uses a lot of profanity and is very vulgar. Unfair grader as well. Stay away from this teacher.
Genuinely pretty awful exams had so many mistakes, pretty hard, and are in person also she had outdated essay outlines and examples so it made writing the essay a bit difficult but the essay is graded pretty easy which boosted my grade pretty high memoize EVERYTHING for the exams if you want a decent grade.
This class was incredibly boring. Lectures were unnecessarily long and she wasted sm time waiting for ppl to answer the Q's she asked the class. Unfortunately it is a required class for comm but if you can take it with another professor, do that. Not very difficult but midterm and final (MC) are in person. Txtbook isn't necessary, j go to lecture.
Professor Gonzales is boring. Her lectures are extremely hard to pay attention to. I have taken multiple comm classes and she is the least engaging out of all the comm professors. She is nice but her lectures are lacking enthusiasm.
