Reviews of professor Jorge Gonzalez

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Lecture's are basically from the reading's, everything is based on readings. no laptops or phones allowed in class, making It even harder to take notes. he doesn't provide reviews or slides. he gives two tests and 1 project, very vague about how he wants it done. tests are mostly based on concepts that he hardly talk about.

This is profoundly one of the worst classes I've ever taken. It is highly lecture-based and the professor does not post slides or recordings. It was so hard to focus on such boring material. Your grade is based on two papers. The final paper is worth 40% and it determines whether you pass or fail.

Took him in fall 2022 and overall he was a good professor. Grade consisted of 2 essays and 3 short quizzes. The essays were about 5 to 8 pages. There was no final exam (second essay was the final). The lectures were kind of boring and you had to take notes or pictures bc he did not post them on bb.

Very kind. He gives weekly homework which is basically a discussion post. Just put some thought into your posts and read the chapters. You will do good.

Very nice Professor but respectfully, didn't understand nothing in this class. Readings are very long and lectures are basically just him talking for the whole period. You are graded on a total of 5/6 discussions posts that you have the entire semester to complete, a midterm paper, a final paper and a short final presentation.

Do yourself a favor and take this professor. Classwork is managable, there is a weekly discussion board as a lecture video to watch. I learned a lot from his class and thoroughly enjoyed listening to his lectures. He is very lenient with grading and will do his best to accomodate with your needs as long as you communicate with him. Great professor!

Professor Gonzalez is a great person, very caring and willing to make things easy for the students. Classes are mainly him lecturing about the readings which you can skip as long as you take notes when he talks. Sometimes he forgets he is way too smart for us but hes knowledgeable and passionate and I like that. 6 discussion boards, 2 papers

I feel this class teached me so much as to society and behavior. There is a lot of reading. However, it is very interesting. The class consists of 3 quizzes and 2 six-page papers. You will need to understand the concepts for the papers.

Reading is the most important thing for this class. Professor's note is just the except of the reading and his explanation is kind of abstract for me. Participation is important to help you increase your grade. There are reading quizzes, 2 tests and 1 project in this class.
