Reviews of professor Antonya Gonzalez

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I really like Professor Gonzalez; I think she gives amazing lectures that are very easy to follow along. Everything she has us do in class and outside of class has been super helpful for learning the subject. You definitely have to study for exams, but if you pay attention in class, take notes, and study, the exams are very reasonable. I recommend

Good luck if youre taking her!! very nice person, she means well but shes not doing well. lectures are dense with too much information. she doesnt put really any info on the slides. she lectures so fast theres no way to get all the information and she expects SO MUCH out of you. its insane. exams are crazy hard too.

I don't know why she is rated so low, I am taking her Socioemotional class and she is great! Yes you definitely have to show up to get all of the points for class but it's pretty straight forward. Other than the 2 assignments due each week and a super short quiz, there isn't much work. I would recommend this class and this professor!

I'm not sure if she gave up or simply doesn't want to put in the work, but assigned so much HW without actually teaching any content just expects you to know what's going on despite it being new information. Expects a lot out of you without contributing her own work. This is a final class at Western and many of us are disappointed to say the least.

Not the worst professor here I've ever had but definitely bottom five

I understand she means well and this is her first year teaching, but the class was way too much. The lectures were very dense with information, and little written on the slides. Good luck keeping up! She lectures quickly so either you have to ask her to repeat (which wastes time) or miss info. Tests had too much to study for and no study guides. :(

Maybe It's just because math is hard for me personally, but I found this class to be a little difficult with Antonya. She posts lectures teaching us how to do the problem sets but sometimes I feel like she isn't the best at explaining things. Tests are hard, but honestly if you're good at math it would probably be fine.

Her slides do not have a lot of information, so attending class and understanding what she says ABOUT the slides is important. You have to understand the articles pretty well, and definitely do not skimp on studying the lecture material or the articles. The test questions are very straight forward if you thoroughly studied the material.

I was warned not to take her but didn't have a choice. If you have a choice, don't take her. She's one of those professors that hasn't quite figured out how to teach but will put you through the wringer. Somehow makes interesting topics unbearably painful.
