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.

This class was interesting, but Gonzales made it way harder than it had to be. Test questions were phrased poorly, study guides and grades were rarely posted on time, and the TA gave no constructive feedback on the papers. I learned a lot, but it honestly wasnt worth the stress.

Took her comm184. course content is super interesting and relatable. I did get more in-depth understandings of the role that social media plays in real life, which is way more complicated than I was thinking of. fairly challenging course. Somehow hard to understand the material, tricky test questions. Glad I took it but won't take it again

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
