Reviews of professor Joseph Gutierrez

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Professor Gutierrez is an amazing person who cares about his class! Taking his class is easy and enjoyable. There are weekly short quizzes are on Canvas, 3 multiple choice exams (noncumulative), and one easy 2-page paper. If you need an easy physical science GE class, take his class!

Professor Gutierrez is caring and understanding. His lectures are easy to understand and the class has a heavy emphasis on collaboration and pedagogy. However, the exams are difficult because we don't spend enough time on the scientific content, so you have to put in extra study time. Overall, very kind, but the class itself wasn't the best for me.

I liked the overall deal of the course but in my opinion he was graded the exams on what he wanted to hear there were about 5 questions that I wrote it in my own words(which he encouraged) and I got marked to receive no points because It didn't look like his.

As a graduate student he is super fun and enthusiastic! He was helpful when you asked questions regarding labs, and very flexible. Super fun to talk to as well! try to have fun in that class because my group was the only ones laughing and joking while everyone was so serious. He'll play along too.

2 exams, lab (short) every class with a mini quiz before, 2 fieldtrips + 1 presentation-- despite it being a 3hr class at night, it wasn't a pain to go to class. his explanations & labs really helped me understand the concept more than my reg lecture class. extremely nice and probs one of my fav professors! 11/10 would recommend, you won't regret!

*asynchronous lab class* Easy labs w/ questions, but takes times and if you want to get it checked before turning it in, just send him an email! Does take off points for getting a lab answer wrong. 2 exams and 1 online field trip, but exams are mc and proctored on Canvas! He is accessible easily and responds ASAP! I highly recommend this professor!

Cool professor, but the class can be tough so try not to only rely on lectures because the rest is seriously up to you. 2 midterms & a lot of lesson plans/group work. The exams are tough so be sure you are reading the provided book & don't miss class. Every assignment is completed in class so there's no make ups. No hw except for a weekly journal.
