Reviews of professor Jon Gonzalez

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The MOST AMAZING professor ever, consider yourself lucky if you get him for 206 lab. I have never met such a knowledgeable, caring, and considerate prof who spends so much time and attention to detail to ensure the success of his students. Come to lab prepared and review his material well because it is concise and will come up on the quizzes.

Best lab instructor at SDSU. If you show up ready to learn and willing to improve you will do perfectly fine.

One of the best professors I've ever had! Very organized and engaging instruction/lectures. Truly cares about his students and is quick to answer questions in and out of class! Focuses on important material and omits any "fluff". Encourages lots of discussion and critical thinking which helped me learn a lot! 1 quiz/week and pre-lab reading/videos.

The most engaging and fun lab professor ever! Truly cares about the success of his students and is really passionate about what he does. Makes the 6 hour labs fly by because he makes them very interactive and fun, really an engaging experience.

All I have to say is good luck with this professor. He can be very rude to students and makes students think again before getting into nursing. I've never met a professor so impolite while putting students on the spot in front of others. He will make your semester very miserable if you are not on top of your work.

He was pretty degrading and did not seem to empathize with students' struggles. He was a tough grader which I didn't mind but it was just his hostile attitude at times that made him mean.

His approach to teaching is disheartening. I felt talked down to consistently. I don't think he took his time to actually get to know/ understand his students. He continuously reminded us that "He doesn't care why we are in nursing". His professionalism points also seemed very subjective so just be on top of it in case he chooses to pick on you.

Prof. Gonzalez truly cares his students. You'll succeed in his class as long as you prepare. His key concept notes focus on the most important parts of chapters and they even tell you what to study for the quiz. His teaching style helps you learn the rationale behind your actions and makes you feel like a nurse. I wish he taught other courses!

He is great at teaching and making sure you have the best practices in terms of skills. He is definitely a professor that expects a lot from you and if you don't meet those expectations then there will be a problem. He can be harsh. My biggest tips for having him is go to the skills lab and always be prepared. Also make sure to participate!!
