A lot of people hate his class for no reason, this class is really easy if you put time and effort, midterms are based on lectures and the content is easy to understand. The only problem was the 8 am lectures. Nino is always accessible and willing to help, he cares about people passing and he even mentions problems that will be on midterms.

Professor Gonzalez is the worst professor I have ever had at UCSB. His lecturing makes everything confusing and often feel so lost. He does iClickers daily, two midterms and a cumulative final. Other online videos have been my best friend. He also makes snarky remarks weekly about how we should know this stuff and it will be on the exams.

Genuinely one of the worst professors Ive had here. His lectures are confusing at best and he often mixes up his info and backtracks. Moves too quickly and doesnt put much stuff on his slides so he expects you to listen but is a horrible lecturer. Feels more like a student doing a presentation than a professor. Use ipad/print the notes before

I actually really liked the material in this class. Sometimes you could tell he simplified the material too much, which made it harder to understand. I used outside materials (including the textbook) to fill in those gaps, or asked him questions during office hours. iClicker was based on participation, and the lowest 20 were dropped.

Definitely improved from his old reviews; his lectures (except for the last few) were very easy to follow despite the content being relatively difficult. Tests were fair, and sections helped quite a bit; he wants you to succeed, and he encourages.

Not an easy class by any means, but his lectures were entertaining and informative! His tests seemed fair, and the test content was only pulled from slides, not suggested readings, so as long as you put in time/effort, you should be able to pass the class.
