Reviews of professor Mario Gonzalez

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Mario has a lot of knowledge and gives GREAT lectures, but he can come off as very insulting. Because of covid, students hadn't been in the studio for rec 1 & 2 and he was demeaning towards us because of it. He disappeared from class all the time, and his excuse was usually "Well you guys are recording 3, you don't need me to supervise you."

He was always gone and didnt really teach us to many useful things. Yes letting us learn on our own is a ok method but when we need actual correction he lacked that big time unless he did it as if we should of known what to do

Professor makes it difficult to be inspired. Will constantly insult students eventually making it an unpleasant environment to be in. Eventually, the students will begin to insult each other. He is never present in class, and always seems to be doing something else. Get used to seeing this guy on his phone. Not sure why he's head of this program.

Mario is a very smart man, but he isn't very good at helping his students. He's very quick to criticize about things, which is good but the manner he does it in is very defeating. Instead of just teaching you he first makes you feel stupid, and that's not ok. He is also consistently not around, or just in his office when he should be with his class

Mr. Gonzales is a mentor as much as a professor to his students. I've spent 2 years as his student in his recording and mixing courses, His feedback is valuable and is ready to answer any question you might have. If you work hard to improve he will notice and respects your effort and time. If your eager to learn this is the teacher for you.

Constantly degrading and belittling his students. I learned much more from my peers than him because any question you ask him, he will make you feel dumb for asking. He is very discouraging and will make students feel bad for small mistakes or being unsure. For assignments he gave no clear due date and made up new criteria after students finished.

He is always either in his office for 30 mins or in the room sitting on his phone. How can you feel motivated to do your best when your professor doesn't even bother being in the room? He constantly brings down students that make the tiniest mistakes, & that effects their learning environment. Posts assignments last min, doesn't follow syllabus.
