snob, but looks good

This lady is rad, and a prime example of no-nonsense. Be prepared to learn some relevant stuff. I recommend this class to everyone I meet at school.

HOT HOT HOT! damn is she fine! She is very biased and presents in a very scientific method sort of way. DId I mention she is hot? If you like to look at a hot woman all class take hers!

A beautiful young woman. Not only is she physically attractive, she's also a brilliant person. She's way too organized! :) No nonsense, not an easy A, take it if you're an organization freak, you'll love her! Very clear, learned sooo much! :)

She is a great teacher as far as teaching, her exams are a little difficult but if you study the review sheet she gives you, you will easily get an "A" in the class.

She presents very interesting material in a very boring fashion which made the class O.K overall. She definitely knows her material. Tests were fairly fair. Yes I said fairly fair.

Prof Gonzalez is a good teacher

I could have gotten an "A" with my eyes closed in this class. VERY EASY. Interesting material, although I never even read the book. Prof. Gonzalez was always nice to me, but in lecture was sometimes snappy or impatient.

GREAT! Lectures very organized, detailed and clear. Incorporates much science (biology, chemistry, anatomy) into the curriculum. Relies heavily on campus computer system for lecture notes, quiz articles and other class materials; you'd better know your way around a computer and have an SMC account.

Class is very easy, but she will not accept anythiing late. Not even a day. In lectures, can ocassionally "snap" at students, but it's not personal; that's just the way she is.

She is beautiful and very clear about everything.She isn't hard to approach and she is very easy to talk to. She is demanding but I like that.She gives you access to her lectures so you are able to pay more attention to her lecture.As long as you read and review lectures you will be fine.

Professional, organized, does not accept late assignments. Makes class interesting.

Cynthia says that “I want my students to leave my class feeling respect for what we’re mutually involved in. It’s okay with me if they feel I’m very strict or demanding, but I want them to know that my main goal is to teach well and be fair to everyone.” - From SMC's Summer 1993 Schedule of Classes

This course is so easy and so fun. She is a great teacher. There is a lot of reading but even during her eight week course, she has taught me a lot!

She's great, totally fair. highly reccommend. She only gets annoyed when people start asking vague, stupid questions, and I don't blame her!

Whether or not you'll like her class will depend on your own personality. The class itself is easy and very informative. She is knowledgeable and she's into what she's teaching. The one negative thing I'd say is that she takes herself rather seriously. But it's hard being beautiful =)

not as easy as it seems

She seems scary but she is really nice, helpful, interested in new information and precise. The class is long so it's hard to keep everyones attention, but she does IF YOU participate. If you are waiting for her to full you up with info and you are a lump you will NOT like this class. The beautiful must be serious to be taken seriously.

I thought she was very organized with her lectures. Very accurate and precise.

she is the most anal and stubborn teacher i have ever met. she is not organized most of the time and is a very hard grader. she is good in nut.1, but not good in nut.7

She is a tough cookie at first, but she will work with you if you show a genuine interest. She is very organized and thorough and encourages classroom discussion. You are gauranteed at least a B if you GO to class and review the notes. Study guides are provided and are very helpful.

If you are interested in sciences you should definately take her. She is fairly easy. I didn't open the book once and I got an A in her class. Just make sure you go to class on regular basis because there are mini quizzes everyday....but the quizzes are super easy and group quizzes!Only two exams. If you take her, do the work & don't waste ur tim

im a strait f student and even i passed this class with a c. RECOMEND!

I loved proffessor Gonzalez, she is very lineant with those who have trouble speaking perfect English like me. She is very caring proffessor. IF u show that u care about class, u win her but if show that u don't care, she won't care about ur grade. Common sense

Best Professor You Will Ever Have!!

Cynthia seems crazy at first but she turns out to be a great teacher. Her tests are covered in lecture and readings. If you plan on doing the work, you will pass with a good grade. I'm normaly a D student and i got a B. Dont be stupid because she hates stupid people. As do I. Class isnt Hard but it makes you work.

She is a great professor. Kind of hard at first but trust me you will love her class. I learned so much I really enjoyed taking this class. Test and final are hard but if you study you'll do good. Highly recommended.

cinthia is a great teacher she does NOT take crap from anyone. If you are attending and listening you WILL pass. very organized.

Great teacher.... very intelligent and if i had to define her with "one word"..it would be.. HOOOOOTTT .. other then that, just stick to the readings and lectures and you'll do fine!

dr. gonzalez is a no nonsense professor but hightly organized and clear during lectures. must read short articles before each class on which you'll have a group quiz. two exams (midterm and final) - study and you'll be fine. just show her you are interested, do what you're supposed to and you'll get an A!!! (i didn't use the book at all, just for d

Best science professor ever, Cynthia is great, her response is very quick, and her assignments and classes are really straightforward, I would highly recommend Dr. Gonzalez. Due to her class, I even quit smoking. Thank you Professor! LF

She is an outstanding teacher. Extremely well organized, responsive, prepared, always present to clarify any sort of doubts. You will learn a lot from her, as she will guide you thorugh the class to let you learn general principles but also important aspects to improve your own nutrition habits. Also, if you study in time what required, you will ge

really organized and nice. but doesn't like stupid people that ask stupid questions. one big assignment which is easy if you pay attention, 12 quizzes, drops 2, midterm and final 100 questions- easy if you study hard, detailed lactures. show up and listen to lectures and you'll get an A

Extremely professional and organized. Students who are offended by her low tolerance for incompetency should take that as a sign. The remark that she is a snob is false. She is a no BS teacher and apparently several of the BS students who have taken her class have learned how to use the computer.

Hey this teacher is really cool but strict. The lecture notes are really helpful so be sure to print them out. I never picked up my book and I got an A. Take advantage of the extra credit its 50 points and makes a big difference. We have like 12 quizzes and she drops 4 of the lowest scores, 2 exams and a final. Take her you wont be sorry.

She is not an easy professor, but she is clear what she wants. Also, be on time or you will miss a quiz. how ever later y. will have an extra credit. She will do every thing to help you... just be involved!!

Cynthia is a great professor and very easy to read. She puts it all out there; what she expects from you from the start. I have taken her twice and would take her again if I could. Her class is quick and tough, but just listen to what she asks for, complete that and the extra credit (which is soooo easy to do) and you will do great!

Both nutrition 1 and 7 are awesome classes as long as you are interested in these subjects. If you're not, you'll have a really hard time. But if you just follow her directions it's easy to get an A. For the midterm and final she gives a study guide and if you answer every question on the study guide, you'll ace the test

I am taking this course as an 8 week online. As long as you follow her directions exactly, you will do great. as far as tests go, they are somewhat difficult, but it is all straight from the material and lectures she gives you. you will have to spend some time actually doing homework/activities, but none of them are that hard.

This class was not easy because it was only for 8 weeks. She gives you a loooooooot of homework and essays to write. I got an A and I am very interested in Nutrition, but I worked hard for it. Do not waste time and money just sitting in the class and listening her lectures. Start studying from the first day and write the essay in advance:-)

This prof was extremely easy all you have to do is do your work, pay attention in class and come prepared to take notes. Dont believe wat other people say, im usually a lazy person and i got a B in the class!!

She's very strict and puts out her expectations from the start, but as long as you pay attention and do the work, you can get an A. I had her for the 16 week intensive course, hard, but worth it.

She is one of the best teachers i have ever taken. i had her for the eight week session. You only have to do two projects and they are easy. No homework only read the text and print some articles for the class.Her lectures are interesting and you really learn great information that you can use for your health. I recommend taking her!!!!!

This class has nothing to do with nutrition-it's all about culture, which would be fine except this was supposed to be a nutrition class. Easy work, but there's too much of it. Complains about her personal life all the time. Easy tests, straight from her lecture. No need to buy book because it's useless, much like this class. Dont take this class!

She does an excellent job making the material interesting, up to date and informative. The size of the syllabus initially concerned me, but couldn't be happier with the class and style of the professor.

She's really not a hard professor at all. Just pay attention. I took both her Nutrition 1 and 7 classes. The book helps with her exams, but she's really easy to understand if you just want an easy A. She's great and really knows her material, albeit a bit skeptical and wary of quackery.

She has high expectations of her students, which is refreshing. Do not plagiarize even slightly! Very informative class; you will learn a lot from the lectures/slides, and the book. Fair and honest instructor - tries to help out students whenever she can. Great class!

I really enjoyed her class. She is extremely intelligent and very helpful. I highly recommend her!

I had no previous interest in nutrition, did not know what to expect. This class was fun, knowledgeable and interactive. It is an easy A if you participate, follow the exact directions she gives in either discussions and papers (only 2). Loved this class. Will take nutrition 1 with her!

I took the online class during the winter. The class was very organized and she showed you step by step how to do the assignments, all you had to do is was pretty much find a food or something from the activity and write 100 words min about it. Put in minimum work and you should get a passing grade like a B no problem.

I took her online class and it was very organized. If you study the lectures slides you can easily pass. She doesn't like nutritional medicine, so if you say it is helpful in ANY of the weekly assignments she will dock you points. Just saying that green tea is good and aspartame is bad got me a B+ instead of an A, so just agree with her.

I took her on-line course and followed her suggestions to the tee, did well in her class. I also did all the extra credit work. She likes quoting properly all your work, I thought she was helpful if you needed clarifying. She responded to all our questions fine on-line. A lot of time spent on the computer but worth the work.

Took the online 8 week class. There is a lot of reading so it is a very time consuming course but most of the concepts are common sense. Exams are easy if you study (the questions are based on her powerpoints, not the book). As long as you follow the instructions on the weekly activities, you get full credit.

Follow directions well and you will do great! Loved her classes took Nutr 1 and later Nutr 7 online and both were fairly easy. She may come off strong and rude but not at all. Quiz every class on articles, and activities for the online course overall good. Plus she is kindda cute.

I love her classes. I had her for nutrition 1,5,7; Yes she is very intense but you actually learn something. So if you take her Pay Attention !

I took this class at SMC many years ago around 1994. I was an obese 20 year kid who weighed 235lbs. at 5'9. I am now a lean fighting machine, 5'10 160lbs. Cynthia helped me to turn my lifestyle around. I can't thank her enough. Her class is very straight forward if you are engaged and willing to try.

Very clear course. Activities are structured around an analysis of your present nutrition. Weekly participation required and heavy reading. Satisfying 8 week online course. Special SMC version of the textbook was recommended but online version with Nutrition Analysis Plus was sufficient since Dr. Gonzalez provided digital copies of the supplements.

Awesome professor, available for her students, just follow carefully the assignments due, and then the classes are great with excellent materials and opened speech about any nutrition questions that you might wondering.

One of the best teacher I had so far att SMC. Cynthia is very a very sweet and helpful professor. We had one mid term and one final. If you read the book and review some of her power points you will be good. She alao had a great mix of assignments during the semester such as a film review, a field trip and a putlock. Take her!

Awesome profesor. Always there for you.

One of the nicest professors and straight forward with her assignments. Keep up with the reading, follow P.P. notes you will do well. Quizzes, MT Final not too bad!

Great Teacher! Totally recommend her. She helps you through assignments, readings, and lectures. Do not miss a beat, because there is much reading. Tests are very passable--she provides the questions before exams--so study. If you don't take her, then you're missing out. Definitely would take her class again!

clear, long lectures but you learn a lot!

You will learn so much about cultures and their history (more than a history class), but don't worry, it is even more interesting because of its context. It is not the typical facts and dates. You will understand how cultures developed and why they became that way. There is a group project and it's fun. Everyone must contribute to the group somehow

Took professor Gonzalez for NUTR 3 - intro to dietetics. It was only 1 unit, so I thought a little bit of homework here and there nothing crazy. I was wrong. There was heaps of homework. Nothing to hard but just lots of it. She is clear about what she wants and when things are due. Overall I think she is a great teacher.

Pretty decent. The only issue I had was that there were some inconsistencies between the syllabus & canvas about due dates of assignments but other than that the class was easily manageable with her.

I took this during a Winter term and the course was very easy with her. Her directions are very clear, if you follow them and do them on time then you are set for an A, but she is a little strict and hard to work with if you encounter any issues so beware of that. Long weekly discussions and an extra credit opportunity at the end of the term.

It's an easy class to pass on your own however, it's so much reading in this class and very lecture heavy with no videos because everything is on powerpoints. Easy class to pass though. Just make sure you turn all your work in on time and you will pass.

I took Dr. Gonzalez course in the Fall and she was great. Since I took the 16-week online course it meant that everything was asynchronous, but if you're self sufficient and independent you'll do great. Not many assignments or HW. There's 7 modules, one quiz per module and a test every 2 modules. Definitely Recommend!!
