One of the least engaging professors I've had at UCSB. Her lectures are hard to pay attention to because they are flat-out uninspiring and boring. She essentially just talks at the class for 75 minutes. Her class is not structured well at all. She seems like a nice person but not a good professor.

Professor Gonzales is not the best lecturer. Her entire course is based off of memorizing information from readings which are usually between 40-60 pages per week of dense material. Not only that but she will change the rubric of her papers despite the syllabus stating stating something entirely different. Unfair grading, boring, and repetitive.

I'm not sure why this professor doesn't have better reviews! She is one of the few at UCSB who comes from a similar generation and understands student ideology. Her lectures were very organized and she made her points excellently clear, even telling you each detailed points you need to know for exams. I had a wonderful experience in her course !

Professor Gonzales is definitely a professor at UCSB who is there primarily for research purposes rather than teaching purposes. However, I found her to be very understanding and the material for the class is very interesting!
