Took her in the Spring, she was super accomodating and I believe she did a good job trying to navigate the class online seeing as she had a short amount of time to restructure this course. Sometimes the lectures were a bit dry but it is a research methods course which I wasn't super crazy about taking. Overall she's awesome, especially upper div!!

Knows the material but is bad at getting the point across. Weekly homework that you dont get an A on. You must RESUBMIT to MAYBE get an extra point. Midterm/final was easy for me Bc I studied the book. paper grade depends on how strict your TA is. Overall, expectation were way too high. No reason I breezed through upper divs and struggled in this.

Her lecture is not really organized, and her language is sometimes unclear, which somewhat affects the quality of her class. The exams are fair. The research paper depends on TA.

Comm 88 is a difficult class, and not the most interesting. I definitely wouldn't take this class if you aren't a comm major. Professor Gonzales is pretty much exactly what I expected. She knows what she's talking about but she's pretty serious and a tough grader. For the exams you have to create your own experiment and it's pretty hard.

didnt take class, looking to see if shes a good teacher

I had her during the Spring quarter of 2020 and I thought she was fine. She switched her midterm and final to be short answer and it took a long time to get the feedback. Weekly assignments for section but were relatively easy. She allowed the final to be optional which was great. She tried to make the lectures easy (asynchronously) and relatable.

Due to COVID-19, the format for exams changed from MC to short answers. The first exam was written poorly and unclear- something she acknowledged. The other two exams had clearer objectives, thankfully. The textbook saves you in this class, I relied on it way more than the lectures.

Professor Gonzalez seems to be really cool and easy going at first. Just know for a fact if you take any class with her you have to really think outside the box even for a pre requisite class. Since the virus has been going on I thought she would be a little bit easier, not even close. I promise she is very difficult.

Professor Gonzales is a great professor in the means of getting major points across and is just overall good at teaching. However, she teaches with her own political standings. There are a few chapters in the textbook that she teaches based on her views completely. If you don't want to hear somebody go off on tangents about their views keep looking
