He is extremely biased and uses a terribly biased and un-scholarly textbook. I wouldn't care if he'd show the other viewpoint. However he's good insofar as he makes you question the normal interpretation of history. He only shows the bad and none of the good. He swears a lot. He does tell you how to get a good grade though. I'd take Pieper instead.

Gomez has a total axe to grind. He presents none of the opposing opinions, and when he does he either misrepresents it or doesn't give the whole argument. History shouldn't even have opinions. It's fine to believe in leftism, it's another to indoctrinate everybody else. Since everyone takes what he says for granted all we learn is what Zinn thinks.

Professor Gomez is very passionate and I appreciate him as a person but as a teacher, it's hard to keep up with him. You have to do a lot of reading, take quizzes and test each week, and you HAVE to watch his lectures that include the answers to the question. However, he talks about personal stuff at times and sometimes gets sidetracked.

I took Native American History class & it was amazing. His lectures are inspiring & the class is very interesting. You have 3 big assignments which are your midterm, your final, and an abstract presentation. He basically gives you the outline and you just put it on paper. Professor Gomez wants you to succeed! Best professor I've had at valley!

Professor Gomez is a great professor. He does have you reading ALOT!! quizzes on the reading each week. Video notes are the easiest thing in this class. He explains his midterm and final and gives you the answers and all you have to do is write a paper about it. There is a presentation and a 2-page paper that is worth a lot of points for your grade

Professor Gomez brings a lot of passion to the class. The workload is heavy, but engaging with the material through lectures, readings, and unstuck study can really help you succeed. Worth taking if you're interested in the subject.

This class was my favorite class at SBVC. Professor Gomez's lectures are so insightful and fun. He keeps it real and doesn't sugarcoat the history of America. There are pop quizzes that are easy if you read, and there is a final project that you have all semester to work on to present to the class at the end as a final. overall easy A

I like that the course content was throughly explained and analyzed, but Mr. Gomez relies way to heavily on shock value to convey his point on top of lengthy assignments and tests. So even though the content he teaches is interesting it's almost impossible to absorb it due to the stress of the class.

Professor Ed was very passionate about Chicano history. The easiest assignments were taking notes while he showed us a YouTube video on Chicano movement. The midterm was very stressful for me because it was 5-7 pages but other than that it was reasonable work and he was very explainable.

Professor Ed Gomez is so good at what he does that I found myself ready to put in any amount of work just to show how much his energy, enthusiasm, and knowledge were appreciated. You simply HAVE to take one of Professor Gomez' classes. There's a reason he's a fixture at SBVC. His students all live him!

This professor is truly passionate about his field, good at explaining, and asigned readings with quizzes from the books mentioned in the syllabus (which can be found online for free). He doesn't assign homework, except for preparing you for a mid-semester essay and a final essay with oral presentation. I would recommend him without hesitation!

This class is really easy as long as you complete the weekly readings he assigns, which are usually short and during the quizzes, you can use the book for direct quotes. He explains things very well and is passionate about the subject; it's really easy to memorize his readings. I would highly recommend him! He's been my favorite teacher.

The class itself was mainly lectures and movies, on which we would take notes. We would then turn them in for credit. There were only two papers that we had to do, both of which were very doable if you dedicated enough time to them. He gives timelines throughout the class so you know how much of the final project you should have done.
