he's so cute!
Had him for the english lab. He is so easy and is right there to help with in-class assignments. He likes every student and wants us all to succeed. If you ever have an essay, go to the writing center to get help with it. Chillest class with the chillest teacher was awesome!!
He is an awesome teacher; he takes the time to help you if you don't understand the work. He assigned some reading but they were very interesting. He also assigned a lot of essays but was not a seriously hard grader. 100% would take again. Hope he would teach higher levels too!
Super chill prof. Very helpful, very clear, easy class. VERY HOT.
Professor Gonzales is a cool teacher. He doesn't give so much homework, its usually a few pages. He always helps you with your homework or turning in assignments if you ask him for help.
He was my first professor at PCC. Pretty laid back attitude. Very helpful. Do the reading because he discusses it in class. Readings are very short and interesting. He doesn't make the class boring. He creates a chill atmosphere for his students so everyone feels comfortable. Never condescending and easily approachable. He's just super awesome!
Sooooooooo HOT!!! He's also very helpful and is always clear about the subject. The class was very easy and I really didn't mind looking at his cute face for 50 minutes!
Woaaahh amazing professor not only was he cute but super nice and dedicated professor .I have never enjoy a English class until I took it with this professor although it was a 7 a.m. class never felt asleep during lecture time . He gave a lot of readings but it will come handy in the long run.
I had him for English 100 and 1A. I came to PCC hating English and feeling like I just couldn't write. He helped me through it. He breaks it down for you. You feel like you don't know what to do and he helps you until you get it. He does leave readings and 2-4 questions almost every meeting but it is to help with future essays. AMAZING TEACH. & HOT
akwful professor tough grader even if the class look easy it doesn't. you have to read a lot. if you are esl student do not take it.
fist day of class he looks easy going and fun but once on board he shows his really face. a lot of reading and the few quizzes are tricky. he does not give feedback and boring class something wordy and bad attitude
worked hard all semester and didn't get what i deserve. dont take him. find some other instructor. tough grader even if you work hard.
He's a really boring professor. I wouldn't recommend him to friends honestly. He grades really hard.
I would recommend taking professor Gonzalez! he is very understanding and cares about his student. he tries to make his class fun and interesting. It's an English class so there's gotta be essays, but he helps you A LOT and gives great feedback! I would recommend taking him!
Mr. Gonzalez is an amazing professor. Very helpful, a lot of reading. He is very chill, very helpful. Tough grader but overall and amazing. He makes his lectures super fun. Totally recommend taking him.
Gonzalez was the first English professor I ever took entering into PCC and it is honestly the best decision I have ever made! You can tell he cares about his students so much. If you don't understand something, he will always be there to help no matter what and break everything down for you. I would definitely take again and recommend to everyone!
Really bored class, speak too fast if ypu are esl students personally I don't recommend him I'll frustrated you with a lot of homework and you have to check your grammar bc he takes out points for that
Attend class and listen to what he has to say even if it may seem boring or long-winded because it'll help you on the quizzes even if you don't read. If your grammar isn't that well perfected, you may have a harder time in the class.
If you are looking to take a 1A class devoid of any thought look no further. The grading criteria is incredibly unclear, and responding to his feedback ultimately meant nothing in terms of improving my grade. I wanted to be an English major going into this class, and now I would never even consider it due to the subjectivity of grading
I would say taking English 1A during summer intersection is tremendously tough, especially a student who has just finished ESL classes. Prof. Gonzalez requires more than 30 pages of reading everyday and a quiz of reading the next day. Essays are difficult but at least he gives us enough time. I won't recommond him to ESL students
Hardly ever Update grades online or never update it at all. So i have no idea what to fix or improve my grade and hard to understand the class sometimes class is 2 hours long and with no break.
If you really show that you're trying hard and at least act like you're interested it'll make a difference. I like the things we read about. Good luck everyone he's pretty tough.
You need to put in a lot of time and effort to get an A. He is very helpful and cares for his students, but his lectures can get kind of boring because he talks too much. He likes to talk about his son and tell stories. He loves class discussions and people who participate.
The novel he requires as reading is amazing! The quizzes he gives are very easy!! But his essay grading are hard! He seems to expect you to enter being a professional writer :(.. Over all had some good laughs and learned a lot.
Didn't learn much in this class. He spent most of his time joking and not enough focus on english. wouldn't recommend him.
HE IS NOT AN EASY GRADER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! take him if you don't care about your GPA. nobody got A on any assignments in his class.
A lot of these comments don't make sense because he doesn't give quizzes in 1A. He's a tough grader, but makes it clear what he expects. Also, it isn't an ESL course, so people complaining about that shouldn't have taken him. Overall, he helps and believes in his students.
Helpful and cares about his students.
Really cares about us and helpful with papers!
Tough on grammar but wants you to learn. Nice and easy to talk to.
Cool and easy to talk to.
Pretty tough professor but cares about students.
It's an English class. Of course grammar matters! He's available for office hours and willing to help out.
Had him for 100. Easy going guy and will help you one on one if you need it.
Tough guy but easy to get help. I'd take again because I want to learn.
Man, I wasn't sure what to expect, but he really helped me out! Good teacher.
Although he assigns a few readings, he goes over them and tries to help as much as possible for papers. Really nice.
awesome professor would take all my Eng classes with him if I could. very well taught classes
Awesome professor! I took him for English 100, 901 lab, and 1A. I would definitely take him again if he taught 1C. Very funny guy, easy to talk to and always willing to help. He is a little tough on grammar but it is an English class. Show up, do your homework and you'll pass.
One of the best English professor I encountered in PCC so far. You will have 5 total essays/paper to write, inc. midterm and final in class. He gives feedback on your essays so you can improve and resubmit again for grade improve. You will have to do reading every time, so just prepare for it that you'll be fine.
one of the best teachers ever. very helpful, funny and no quizzes. he understands his students and helps them get the best grades they can, and he even extends deadlines so that we have enough time to do work however you need to read alot and there are quite alot of homework.
Jokes a lot, and is very helpful. He really just wants to see you improve, and tries to help as much as possible. There's a lot of homework but, what English class doesn't? I didn't end up doing a lot of the homework because I had a lot of real life issues, and my grade suffered as a result. Would definitely want to take a class with him again.
Gonzalez is a very great professor I've ever met at PCC. His lecture can be a bit difficult as it goes. However, his class is never difficult like people here say. If you do your homework and study regularly, you can definitely get A. Another thing that I can tell you is he really cares about every single student. In a word, I highly recommend him.
Gonzalez is the best professor I've ever met! He is a really cool and hilarious guy. Overall, his lecture is easy, never difficult. He teaches as easy as possible to let all of his students understand what he teaches. If you study a bit before the class, you don't have to worry about getting A. Do not trust people who criticize him with difficulty.
Professor Gonzalez is an amazing teacher! He really cares and is understanding. This class is not boring. Be prepare to read and do homework. Usually its done through canvas 1 maybe 2 questions regarding the reading. On your essays make sure you get to the point, make sure your grammar is good as he does check for that. Over all a very good teacher
The Prof was a good person, but hard grader. I don't recommended second language learner to take his class.
He's cares about students and wants them to succeed. Make sure you study and come ready to discuss readings.
Of course he's tough on grammar. It's English class. He'll help you and wants you to improve your writing skills.
It's English. I don't get people that complain about him being tough on grammar. Of course! But he'll help you and is always there to talk.
Take him! He cares about students and is super helpful.
Mr. Gonzalez is one of the best professors I've had at PCC! He's a tough grader but he gives you guides to exactly what he wants. He looks at improvement when he's grading which is a good thing and if you want extra help, he'll sit with you during his office hours.
Professor Gonzalez is by far the best professor I've had at PCC. He cares about you and your grades and is willing to help you with anything. Just show up, try on the essays and you will be fine. I would take him again if I could !!
Great teach. Wants everyone to do well and treats students fairly.
He's tough on papers but wants you to write better and do better.
Hands down one of the best Professors I've had. He gives very clear criteria and shows you exactly what he wants. If you want help, he will make time to read over your essay and give feedback before it's due. He is very caring and wants you to succeed. There is homework due every week which is usually a reading and 1-2 questions. 10/10
I took ENG1A during Winter. It was kinda tough by writing 1 paper per week, but his class was super fun. I love the readings he assigned to us because they were meaningful and helped me to reflect on my life and values. Make sure you read through texts, work hard on paper, ask questions, and have fun in his class.
Man! It was tough but I got through it. He genuinely cares and wants students to do well. Don't expect a handout, but he'll work with you.
The best English professor honestly guys! So understanding and funny :)
Write three take homes, but he's cool about letting you revise them. If you're a slacker, wouldn't recommend. He does want to see effort. Mr. G cares about his students tho.
The most sweetest and understanding professor ever! Take him only if you want to learn and not just to get an easy A. It's hard to get an A but it's possible.
I took Mr. Gonzalez for both English100 & English1A, he has been the best english teacher I have ever had. I have always disliked English, but he made the class fun with his references & easy going personality. Even though he seems lay back as a person his does get tougher on the grading in the 1A compared to 100. FOLLOW IS ESSAY OUTLINEPASSING!!
His such a good professor honestly , you'll do fine in his class. He cares for his students . HE IS THE BEST!
differently take him he's a really good teacher really friendly and fun to talk with he's easy on grading knows how explain the lessons and to get people engaged in the conversation.
He's tough! But he cares about us and was pretty cool about catching up. Ask for help tho on your essays. Trust me.
Just read, participate, and ask for help. It's nothing crazy.
He is by far a great professor who really cares about the success of students. He teaches very well. He doesn't assign overloads of work. My recommendation is just take him. Do your assignments on time and you'll pass. He really grades based off the effort you put into the class. Although, if your absent and tardy a lot then he might not be the one
He's a great teacher just do the homework he asks it's not hard tasks. Only two books being read throughout the semester. Just ask for help when needed.
One of the best professors I've ever had. He cares about his students and is passionate about teaching. He does everything he can to help you pass his class. Most importantly, he makes class enjoyable. You won't regret taking his class!
LOVED PROF GONZALEZ. Took him for ENG 100 & ENG 1A. He makes you work for your grade but will help you as much as he can. He allows rewrites for his essays. He will make you a better and stronger writer and to top things off he's a genuine guy who cares about his students success. One of my favorite professors at PCC. Wish he taught ENG 1C
I took Eng. 100, 1A, and 1C w/ prof. G. AMAZING. So caring about his students and created a relationship outside of class, always being available. He wants participation and expects readings to be done in order to have class discussions! It helps with papers. I have graduated, now at USC, and still to this day, we keep in touch. Highly recommend!!!
Had him for 1A and he's been nothing but great. Makes you earn your grade, but he also gives great feedback and genuinely wishes success. His lectures and discussions are really interesting, and I can't wait to have 1C with him later. Highly recommend.
Professor Gonzalez is an amazing professor. Hes extremely intelligent and likeable. I learned a lot from his class and l will definetly miss him. Hes a real gem. Pasadena City College is lucky to have him.
Prof. Gonzalez is the best Eng. prof. at PCC! This class is not hard at all, there was 3 essays, 1 research paper, and two in-class essays (midterm/final) He is not a tough grader, as long as you follow the guidelines of the paper you should do just fine. I do consider myself pretty decent in writing, but if you're not he is very helpful and caring
I took Bryan this winter and it was fun! I dont like taking 7:30am classes but his efforts in making early mornings more vibrant are awesome. Just put in your best writing on the assigned essays, correct your essays upon feedback, go to class and i guarantee youll earn a good grade
The best Professor I've ever had. Class is fun and thought-provoking. I enjoy his teaching methods and his approach to the material. He makes it easy to participate while creating a fun, intriguing learning environment. I would 100% recommend to any student and I would take the class again including any other courses he teaches. Amazing!
He is the actual best! Super easy class about monsters! There are three books you must read plus essays and a research paper. I learned a lot and he helped me improve my writing. I wish he taught every English course! I really enjoyed the class
Professor Gonzalez was one of the best teachers I've had in my educational career. I took him for both English 1A and English 1C and they were both really good experiences. He cares a lot about all of his students and will do anything in his power to get you to pass his class. He makes funny jokes in class and makes his lessons fun! Take him!
I took professor Gonzalez over the winter semester of 2019. The course was so much fun it barely felt like attending class. Highly recommend!
P Gonzalez made the first semester of my college experience A1. Although the class was at 7:30 in the morning, he made such an effort to make us wake up and participate without putting us on the spot... not in an embarrassing way at least. The year isn't over, but he helps us with essays both in class and out and lets us do revisions! Learn alot 2!
LOVE HIM! My best friend and I are taking his 7:30 and honestly the best decision we made. Every day is exciting and he is so caring and funny, really makes everyone feel heard. Cannot stress his amazing personality enough! For our first English course, 12/10. TAKE HIM- whether you like English or not, you won't regret it- trust.
Hard to please and messy assignments and criteria
Overall, amazing professor! Very funny and likable. Makes class pass by quickly. Explains concepts thoroughly while having clear grading criteria. Very generous essay deadlines. Future 1A students: Follow his essay outlines, meet the page count, and visit during office hours. He also offers essay re-writes! I will be taking his 1C class!
He's literally the best professor on campus! He is so kind and will do literally anything to help you succeed in the class. He's super flexible with due dates. He's super understanding and will give you extra time on essays if you need it. He's super passionate about what he's teaching and makes class a lot more fun. Definitely take his class!
Loved Professor Gonzalez! I did receive a C in the class but I was working closing shifts to midnight and had his class at 7am. Best professor youll run into! I highly recommend him!
I took Professor Gonzalez's ENGL 1C course, which was focused on monsters. I don't even like thrillers or monsters, but I loved his class. He made the class so interesting, and the class discussions helped a lot when it came time to write essays. Professor Gonzalez is definetely one of my top favorite professors at PCC.
Professor Gonzalez is an extremely caring and supportive teacher. He wants all his students to be successful. He has a good sense of humor and his lectures are entertaining. He does not assign too many essays and gives good feedback. Take this class!
Awesome professor at PCC he really wants his students to succeed. He his very supportive and well not assign difficult assignments. Just do the work and youll be fine.
Simply the best. Professor Gonzalez is caring, helpful, and understanding. During Covid-19, he went above and beyond to help his class succeed. Class is mostly graded on essays; go to his office hours as he gives great feedback. Take him!
Professor Gonzalez's class was an awesome experience. I am an older student and haven't had college classes in many years. Professor Gonzalez was very helpful and understanding of my situation and was always willing to help. He loves interacting with his students and chooses amazing topics to discuss.
Ive taken 3 classes with Prof G (2 of which were online) and have enjoyed each class. Hes easygoing, understanding and isnt strict on deadlines. But dont let the work pile up because it will hurt you. Talk to him if you need help!! Hes not a scary professor and he wants to help his students. You wont regret taking his class, trust me.
Prof Gonzalez is an outstanding teacher! For someone who struggled so much with English he helped me out a lot. This man will not let you fail. Class and assignments are fun and easy, as long as you do your part you will pass:)
Professor Gonzales is by far the best English professor I've had. He keeps a positive energy when communicating to the class and helps you understand the concepts he wants to break down. The reading assignments are very interesting and spark your own creative thought. He also handled the pandemic perfectly, Over all the guy kills it!
Professor Gonzales is a one of a kind soul. He's very funny and laid back but also makes sure his students are engaged. It is very easy to get a A as long as you are reading and turning in assignments on time. He also allows you to redo your first essay, 5 essays total and extra credit 1 page summary of The Joker Movie.
Easy class he was just so picky about everything.
Helpful, and makes sure you're clear on everything before ending classes. It was a crazy year with the pandemic, but he tried his best to make it work.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. His singular assignments are easy but once it comes down to the essays he gives unclear instructions. He writes almost an entire paragraph on each assignment and doesnt give clear critique or help. Hes lenient on deadlines so thats a plus but his assignments are about the same topic for the entire semester.
Extremely clear and kind. Whenever I had a question about an essay, I'd just email him and he was really helpful. He's easy to reach.
Monsters! Interesting material throughout the year, and the essays weren't bad if you read and reached him for questions. It was a tough semester online, but he made it work.
I took intro to novel at 2021 Spring semester. He respects students' opinion, gives good feedback about essays, lenient to due date and overall easy grader. We read 4 books this semester and discussed about 1-2 chapters every class. As long as you read, you will be fine. It will be a fun GE class.
I dont agree with any of the bad reviews here. I took Professor Gonzalez for both 1A and 1C and he was fantastic. Hes super lenient and understanding. Every subject we talked about was genuinely interesting which made the readings great. I think a lot of people take his kindness for granted. Take him, he cares about your success!
He was the best Professor I have ever had!!! Not only was he teaching us to the best ability but because I was taking a athletic class he would take the time to come to all the home games for each sport and really support everyone. Really understanding with busy sports schedules and such a nice guy and super funny.
You can't go wrong with Professor Gonzalez. I took his athletic class for English and he was really flexible and caring. Always puts your needs first. There are a couple essays and a final project but overall it's just reading and paying attention. If you show up to class and do the work you're fine.
I'm an older student with learning disabilities coming back to school. I'm SO glad I had Professor G. His classes encourage participation and even counter opinions. The reading was thought provoking. He took the time to work with me and help me in the lab. You earn your grade and I liked him so much I signed up for his 1C class.
Professor G was so helpful and a super cool guy. He truly cared about all of his students in and outside of the classroom. Gives interesting assignments and readings, and wants everyone to do well. I am taking him again and I am glad to have taken him in my first semester. He cares so much about all of his students and wants to help in any way.
Professor G is the kindest and most caring English prof. I've ever had. He truly cares about every single one of his students. He will not let you fail as long as you try. He is flexible and lenient :) This class is an easy A as long as you put in the effort and do your work.
One of the best professors I have ever had. Understands students struggles with class along with very understanding with deadlines.
UNBIASED. HE ALLOWS AN INSANE AMOUNT OF FLEXIBILITY WITH ASSIGNMENTS. YOU HAVE TO BE UNREASONABLE TO NOT DO WELL IF YOURE ENROLLED IN ONE OF HIS COURSES. ONE OF THE BEST PROFESSORS. PROFESSIONAL YET CASUAL. QUALITY TEACHER AND PERSON.
Honestly the kindest person I've EVER met! Really cares about the wellbeing of students and sooo hilarious. I would anticipate attending class because of how fun it was! Picky grader but gives great feedback and is always there for support. Highly recommend taking his class.
I had Professor Gonzalez for English 1C and he is AMAZING. I struggled with English, but he he made the class easy and fun. He is super caring and he came to graduation!!!! He really cares about his students. 10/10 highly recommend!!!
Professor Gonzalez, is a wonderful professor. He is very caring and understands our struggles as college students. Engages with everyone of his students and makes the class fun. The assignments/homework load isn't heavy and mostly everything is done in class. This class is easy to pass, but of course you need to put effort in.
One of the best professors I have ever had. I took him again for English 1C and it was a great class. He cares so much about everyone and is understanding of unique situations. Always there to help if you need. Easy A as long as you do the work. Funny guy too. Take his class.
One of the best professors I ever took at PCC! The way he explained things in depth helped me so much. He was always there to help you, always answered emails, and his office hours/ even just staying after class were a blessing. He made the content interesting and hooked you into his lectures. Wish there were more profs out there like him!
Professor Gonzalez is honestly one of the best professors I've had. He's very clear on the assignments and does his best to help you whenever you don't understand something. The class is very easy as long as you keep up with the reading.
This professor creates an engaging learning environment if you're willing to actually participate. The material is expected, its an intro to English class. As long as you keep up with the simple weekly readings the assignments are done in class and in groups, its a breeze. So kind and caring as well
amazing
Gonzalez I would say is one of the best English classes I have taken all my life. Although reading was not my strong point, this class really did make me enjoy reading more. This class also made me enjoy writing essays, Gonzalez gives great feedback, and his office hours are always useful, just an amazing class overall. Would recommend!
I took 1B and was in person. Attendance is highly preferred to discuss indepth about readings. Readings were actually really interesting and he asks about your interpretation rather than trying to force a perspective on you. Only 4 essays the whole semester and 2 discussions each week. He is a great teacher; he is understanding and responds quickly
Professor Gonzalez is the best English teacher I ever had. He is humorous, caring, and patient, and he never pressures students unnecessarily. He can understand every student with different English levels in reading and writing, always giving us enough time and guidance to read and understand each text with our own opinions.
One of the best teachers Ive ever had so nice and respectful, he is very understanding and appreciated how he teaches.
He's really lenient, caring, and hilarious. However, don't procrastinate in his class because you're going to be overwhelmed by the piled-up assignments. I would recommend taking his class if you're okay with a lot of reading and writing. Don't take his class if you hate writing papers. Other than that, super awesome prof.
Very outgoing and understanding professor. Participation in the discussions matter and the essays are fairly easy. Final was very easy as well. A lot of reading HW but that's it. Highly recommend
Best English Professor Ever!!! Take him!! 4 essays including a research paper. Grading is tough but allows revisions! Make sure to attend class to get notes about the readings. He's very funny and makes class time very enjoyable and not dreadful. Also reading about monsters is better than Shakespeare!! Take him, take him plzzz!!!
Professor Gonzalez is a very good english teacher. Main part of your grade is 4 essays throughout the semester. Toward the beginning of the semester there are a bunch of discussion posts that are very easy, but will bring your grade down a lot if you forget them. Essays have clear criteria, and he gives you very helpful feedback.
This professor was one of the best professors I have ever had. He is so understanding and so kind that it almost scares me lol. This class is easy but don't get me wrong he still expects you to work. If you don't do your work then he can't help you so as long as you're keeping up with the class you will be fine. Take him you won't regret it!
Prof Gonzalez was easy, but you have to do the work. The class consisted of nightly readings and class discussions with 3 main essays throughout the course. He was very kind and understanding, I wish I could retake this course all over again, he was an amazing lecturer.
If there's someone who truly cares about his students, it's Professor Gonzalez! He's very understanding of his students and wants everyone to succeed. He's an awesome professor, really funny too. There are discussions every week based on the reading, which I wish I had participated in a lot more. Definitely one of the best professors I've had.
I took Professor Gonzalez's class for my second semester and I couldn't have been happier with the professor that I chose for English 1B. The class was very straight forward with assignments being assigned weekly. The assignments are based off of readings that you will do at home. Highly recommend taking this course, you wont regret it one bit.
Love Mr.Gonzalez !! Amazing teacher and knows how to explain assignments without dragging out the lecture. Class is very easy and allows you to make up assignments when having a valid reason. Would take this course again!!!
I loved having Professor Gonzalez, he's by far the best PCC professor I've had. His class is perfectly balanced, not homework heavy, but he won't hand you an A either. I learned a lot in his class and he gives great feedback. He is really understanding and want his students to succeed. He makes the content engaging and he's funny. Take him!
Professor Gonzalez is a funny, accessible, helpful, and enthusiastic guy. This class requires that you complete the daily readings, class discussions, 4 essays, and a final. If you don't participate in class and slack off on the essays, you won't succeed. Submit honest work, attend office hours if you need help, and you will LOVE this class.
I just love him. The best professor in PCC.
BEST professor ever. He truly builds a stress free environment for his students. If you don't mind reading AND writing, take his class. If reading is the least favorite thing to do--this class isn't for you. He gives you all semester to turn in late work but I wouldn't wait until the last minute to turn it in--it will build up.
Very good class!
Gonzalez has engaging lessons and simplifying complex concepts. His love for literature creates a captivating atmosphere. Deadline flexibility is a relief, aiding effective workload management. His genuine care for student success is evident in constructive feedback and accessibility for one-on-one discussions during office hours.
I read short stories now because of Mr. Gonzalez. He's the kinda guy I would like to be like one day. Idk if that'll help your class search. It is still English class though so don't expect fireworks
Simply exceptional and hilarious! Super caring. Provides clear, step-by-step instructions, guiding you hand in hand through the process, always ready to support you if you struggle. Involves a lot of reading, but he makes it engaging and enjoyable. Offers a fantastic opportunity to rewrite your essays, allowing you to improve your grades.
Professor Gonzalez was the highlight of this semester for myself. I found his class to be fun and entertaining, but also helped me improve my writing. He was forgiving on late papers, but not to the point of being able to abuse it. Great professor and I look forward to taking him next semester.
Became my favorite professor. He cares a lot for his students. Always encouraging his students to try their best. Always willing to help students whenever possible. Coursework is manageable and yes there is reading involved though it should be expected. However, he makes it interesting. Just attend class, read, and stop by office hours.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!! had him for both English and 1a. He cares so much about his students and gives homework if you do not finish work in class. It requires lots of reading and writing but he provides so much help and tips for papers. Would take him again.
English was not easy for me, I had trouble writing as I was not good at forming essays well. I still managed to pass the class with an A. What I loved about his class was that he truly does care about his students and wants the best for them to succeed. As long as you try your best and give it your all, you will be alright. Great Professor! :)
I now love reading short stories because of Gonzalez. His lectures are so great. This class was overall fantastic. There is so much exposure to good reading in this class.
Literally no complaints. Amazing professor who genuinely cares about his students inside and outside of class. Very respectful and greets everyone in class. A lot of readings but very doable. Class time usually consists of group discussions about the readings from homework. He will always help with the assignment that goes along with the discussion
Professor Gonzalez makes the class enjoyable. Lots of reading and writing, but he creates a stress-free environment. For study prep, Unstuck ai and the textbook are super helpful. Take this class if you don't mind the workload.
I love this guy. He's one of my favorite professors, and I had him for 2 hours, but whenever I was in his class it never really felt like it, the time always just seemed to fly by. He's always so funny and cracking jokes and relating to his students. I'm hoping I'll be able to take him again for English 1-b!
Professor Gonzalez is an exceptional teacher! He is understanding, caring and funny. He gives multiple opportunities to make up previous assignments. His grading is very lenient and understanding,just do your work and turn it in at a reasonable time (he often accepts late work with a few exceptions on major assignments).I am taking him again for 1B
You can tell this guy genuinely loves teaching and cares about his students. Best professor I've had.
He's honestly the best professor I've had this semester. Going into college and it being my first semester, I'm glad I took his course because he takes time to be genuine with his students. He gives a down and earth and comforting vibe! He's also quite funny! He also never misses a chance to say hi! There's also essay rewrites for a better grade.
Professor Gonzalez was one of my favorite professors during my first semester in college! It seems like he genuinely likes teaching and cares for his students. Most work consists of either reading, class discussions, or essays. Some of the readings are a bit long, so I wouldn't procrastinate on those.
Great instructor, who truly cares about his students Easy A, just his work and follow his instructions on how to do his essays He'll give full points for his mid-term and final if you follow his simple instructions Assigned 2 essays and 1 research paper Allows for resubmits for his essays to get points back if you get a grade lower than an A
By far the best English instructor I've ever had. He's very personable, keeps your attention, and obviously cares about his students. Gives very thorough feedback on the essays, and offers revisions (important, since each essay is weighted pretty heavily).
Professor Gonzales is really a good instructor, who helps students clearly understand how to write a composition. His class is interesting and knowledgeable.
Professor Gonzalez is badass! He is funny, knowledgeable, can keep a conversation going and is always in a good mood. He is reachable outside of the classroom and helps above and beyond. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
prof Gonzalez is one of the best professors I have ever had. hes vary caring to students and understands life happens and gives you extra Time on assignments as long as you have a good reason.
4 total essays + final, but trust it isn't as bad as you may think. Prof Gonzalez is one of the best professors PCC has to offer. He gives you plenty of time to complete your work and will allow extensions as long as you give a good reason. His lectures are engaging and thought provoking and he's literally a chill guy that cares for his students.
Professor Gonzalez here is, Simply put… a friend that won't let you fail his class if you let him. Pros/Cons: a family person; love pep talks; open to hobbies sharing between lectures; pushy towards essay edits if potential for better grades; AND will always reply to any questions/concerns in-person or canvas chats
Absolutely LOVED my time in Professor Gonzalez's class. He is by far one of, IF NOT, the best professors that I had. He's one of those professors that genuinely wants to see you succeed in his class, and not only that, but he is extremely chill and is a likable person. He made the class feel like home for sure.
best teacher of all time, easy A. classwork is so easy, you never get any homework unless you don't finish somehow. easy grader on essays and is very lenient on if you need extra time
Best decision you can make is taking his class. I loved his 1A I took him for 1b too! He is very fun and keeps the class laughing while teaching. he brings good vibe and you feel good about the class. Theres no homework unless you don't finish the class discussion post. It's impossible to not get an A in his course.
Best professor ever!! Take him for English 1A and I promise you you won't regret a single thing. He's the best prof out of any prof that I've taken this year. Needed to let his rating go up so I am rating him.
I thought I didn't like reading but his class made me want to pick up a book again. 10/10
Prof. Gonzalez is the best english teacher at PCC! Took him for 1A and 1B and if you get a chance take him for 1C too! He genuinely cares about his students and wants you to succeed. Accepts late work all sem and will give full credit if it's not super late. You can miss up to 4 classes (email first). Communication is key and he will help you.
Took him for 1A and had to come back again, the best professor!! I had a lot of personal issues and missed a few classes but he let me turn in all of my late work for full credit or half. Always let him know what's going on and he'll help you. Group work for discussions, 4 essays + 1 in class. Easy A if you do the work.
One of the best teachers I have puts time for any of his students and really loves to teach, if you just go to every class and do the work it's really not that hard. You have 3 papers and a final and rest of work is done in class. If you are bad at English take him and he will actually teach you and do it so well. Best teacher at PCC!!!!!!!
Prof Gonzalez is the best professor out there fr. as my first year in college i came into class hating english but he made me become better and do better, maybe even starting to like it lol. he really cares about his students and takes the time to make sure EVERY one succeeds. his class gets full so fast and that says a lot. he's also very chill!!!
10000% RECOMMEND. He is the best, his lectures are interesting, keeps things short and I was never bored in class. If you just do the work and follow instructions his class is easy. He basically teaches you how to write essays so there is no reason you should do bad unless you dont pay attention.
Amazing teacher - easy A but u need to work for it. He will teach u what he looks for in an essay (he allows revisions and accept late work). There are weekly discussions, short readings, 3 essays+1 research paper+1 in person final essay. He is so easy to talk to and cares for his students; I now understand why his classes were filled up so fast!
Professor G changed my perspective on English Lit analysis. He's a hardworking and extremely caring instructor. Be ready to read, but also be ready for a supportive instructor who wants to see you succeed. His office hours are chill and he makes class worth it. Always had a smile and it's clear English is his passion. One of the best at PCC, no cap
100% recommend to take him!!! He is a one of kind professor who is very caring & makes you really understand the lectures. He walks you through all the essays & helps you with anything that you may need. Show up, do all your work, & you'll be just fine in the class. Don't be afraid to ask for help he is always approachable during & after classes!
