he's very nice and helpful, and he's hot too!
One of the most inspirational people i've known...makes you think and question preconcieved ideas about history...very dynamic, approachable, and professional. You can get an A with some worthwhile effort.
Exposure to this professor is critical to your academic career! Makes history come alive. Challenges you to commit to the issues of today by exposing their historical relevance. A remarkable teacher, and an inspirational human being!
Awesome proffesor. The best history teacher in SBVC very helpful
hehe, I'm at UCLA now and there is no comparison! you will never have an opportunity to have such an dynamic and engaging professor. being exposed to him made going to community college all worth it.
Awesome proffesor and a great communit activist. I learned a lot from him. Any class he teaches or if he speaks somewhere ts very informative and motivational. great profesor and an even better MEChA advisor....
10, 15, 30 years later there will be one great teacher that I will remember for all times. He is the great teacher that will change how you view american history. He is the highest ranking teacher ever in my book. This is how a teacher is suppose to be.
Excellent professor inreasting topics and you will actually learn something and have fun while learning. Recomended if thinking about taking History!!!!
Great professor, learned a lot from him
This professor will challenge your thinking. He teaches from a different standpoint than your average US history professor. I highly recommend his classes.

he was a very good teacher, one of the best at Valley. verrrrrrrrry good. he seemed to do a lot for the community as well. i'm chicana and i didn't really know much about my history, but he made it interesting. the only thing to watch out for is little random quizzes. pay attention!
He was cool people. He actually cared about what he talked about. I hated writing those damn papers for the midterm and final. Other than that it was all good. I always love a teacher that cusses in class!
he is the best professor evr to exist. He does not bs you and will give it to you straight. He is also a caring person who has been where alot of us have and is not afraid to mingle with students and guide you through the right path
mr gomez is a very excellent professor who is understandable for missing class or behind in projects...he gives out 1 essay 6 page long i never knew how to do...he explain history more interesting the other prof and he gives an obstract oral prensentation and one final which is easy i recommended takin him he is soo funnie
He really knows what he is taking. Takes his job to the heart and loves to interact with his students. He is cool and understanding man inside the class room and outside. He does many things for his communtiy and at the same time he does not hide anything. He is a honest man and one of the best teachers I have ever incountered with.
He is very helpful in every aspect and cares about the students. Although he uses profanity during his lectures he is passionate on what he teaches. I found that his tests and papers kinda but it is for the benefit of the students.
Goodness, He's f'in' awesome. I mean his class is once-in-a-lifetime experience. This guy truly knows what he's talking about. All of his lectures are truly inspirational. It just feels that you want to sit down and hear him talk...and...talk. If you have the chance and time TAKE his class; you won't regret it.
All I can say is that this man has changed my life. I never missed a day of class because I was afraid of what I might miss. He's syle of teaching is amazing and powerfull. I see the world with a different set of eye's because of what I learned in his class.
Holy sh!t. Ed Gomez is absolutely incredible. He's very passionate about his work. Every lecture is an experience. I've never seen anyone teach the material with the kind of sincerity this man does. He doesn't grade that hard, either. You just have a midterm, a final, and a 5 minute oral presentation. I recommend taking him highly.
The people are right about what they say, very passionate and sincere, if you take in the material you'll learn and change your course in life. Ed Gomez is the definition of education. I am proud to call him my mentor and he is a blessing to the planet and our community is lucky to have him. In hindsight I recommend doing the readings best u can
he is the best!!!! i loved his class because he makes it so interesting and you could tell he loves his job. he helps out in the community and he is rea cool. i recommend him to everyone!!!
Mr.Gomez is a great teacher. Easy grading. For passing his class you need to write midterm 5-7 pages. He gives 2 weeks to do that. Oral presentation for 5 min. and 2 pages about your presentation. For Final exam 5-7 pages (2 weeks to complete). He makes his teaching very interesting. He opens so many truths about the US, it is amaizing. Easy an A.
This guy is the man! He knows his stuff and it shows in his class. If you want to learn and have fun doing it then this is the class you should take.
An amazing teacher with a SPECIAL soul.Very passionate about history and was a tru eyeopener 4me.He takes seriously the writing material u submit,can't get away w/writing b.s. u do have to put effort in ur writing.I started out naive about my people's history (chicana)and finished with a true understanding of my people's struggles and achievements!
this teacher is the best if you are afraid of history cuz you hate it then take him its not about dates and he keeps it real. probably the easiest A ive gotten in a while
best teacher i have taken at valley so far! i learned soo much in his class. he really cares about his students, i definelty recommend him
He is one of the best teachers I have ever had
I took Gomez a couple of years ago for 101 & 140. I still use alot of what he has taught me in other classes. He is a very understanding teacher, but you def. have to be able to write a paper, its no free ride. He teaches History as a concept and doesn't focus on memorization like other History teachers. I still read books I used from his class.
Oh man this was the best teacher I have ever had! Prior to this class I HATED history! He makes it so easy to learn and understand! He is very approachable and down to earth. SO funny! He is pasionate about his teaching thats for sure! He's the best. Don't take anyone besides him!
Mr. Gomez is one of the best, and one of a kind. Not only does he want everyone in his class to get good grades, but he also makes his students think critically about how and why History is important. His class help clear tainted points of view by making us realize the true narration of US History. He's a great man, who is approachable and helpful.
I have to say, Mr. Gomez is the most influential teachers I have ever had throughout my life. I have learned so much in his class. He is inspirational. He makes me want to get involved with the happenings of the community and the world. If we only had more people like him in the world, we'd be a lot better off. thanks Mr. Gomez!!!!
Mr. Gomez keeps you intrested in the subject. He wants you to understand the subject not memorize dates, times, and peoples name. He wants you to understand the history of the stories.
awesome
life changing. He teaches you true history. NOt the lie we are minorities have been feed for generations. HE care greatly for his students. IF god made more professors like him then no one would even drop out of college.
passionate, fun, clear, fair. as long as you read the text and can write a paper you will enjoy and learn from his class.
he is a really helpful teacher. I liked the class it was really interesting.
extremely knowledgeable and passionate. Dedicated to his students and profession!
The best professor in the world. Be careful though, he makes you want to cry when it comes to giving his life experiences in a topic related to class. I would say this: if you end up failing his class you're considered dumb because his class is soo easy and fun.
Mr.Gomez is the BEST. His classes are super easy. You have to attend each lecture but the only work you actually do is a midterm a final and a 5 min presentation. He makes History super fun too. I highly recommend him
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.
when he dislikes a class he really dislikes them doesn't except anything late and he will walk out of class if you don't participate to read
I loved his dedication to helping students & admired his passion for history. Before him I disliked history & was afraid to take it but he made it intrusting & kept my focus, even made me want to read the books we studied. He does curse A-LOT so if that insults you don't take him, but you will be missing out on the greatest history teacher there is
I loved him! He is hilarious. The work he gives is very easy.
He is the most amazing teacher. The books are pretty cheap. He made learning history fun.
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.
One of the funniest professors ever! Yes he does swear a lot but he made class fun!! I still dont care for history but i would take any other class he taught. He is extremely helpful. Class is the easiest class ever!! All you do is a mid-term final and presentation. Would recommend!!
An amazing professor. Really cares about you learning the material, passionate, his classes are fun, best teacher i ever had at Valley
This is the best professor I ever had. He indoctrinates leftism and was a member of the Communist party, but do not let that get into you for not taking his class. This man is a genius and cares for his students and he cares if you are struggle ling. Very passionate and deep in his lectures. I recommend him for any history class.
Easy teacher. His lectures are interesting and sometimes even funny. If you get offended easy, it may not be a good idea to take him but hey--easy A!! This is my second class with him and I love it!
Best, smartest, and most down to earth prof. ever! if u get offended easy do NOT take his class. if your the kind of person who wears american flag underwear, is very patriotic, and loves this country u NEED to take this class. you wont like what you hear but its the TRUTH!
Great teacher!!! He's very passionate about what he teaches, very helpful. You'll never leave his class without learning something.
Mr. Gomez was definitely one of the best teachers i've ever had in my life. I learned so much and he speaks the truth (whether you like it or not). He really cares for his students. Some of the stuff he said made me feel sick from thinking about it but its what people need to know... the opposite side of what the world wants you to know.
by far the best class i ever had.proffesor is really committed to the students. he makes a boring subject, fun and easy to understand.
AWESOME TEACHER. You will learn a lot and not even feel it because he makes everything so easy.. Read the chapters when they are due so you will not stress for the mid term or final but wow... TAKE HIM!!
Professor Gomez is an amazing teacher and recommended to anybody who like myself, never viewed history as important. Clearly makes the class fun, interactive, and leaves you thinking everyday. Beyond the language, is a dedicated man to his students, community, and god. I consider him a true friend:)
BEST teacher I ever had &! Will probably ever have! I hated history sooooo much before I took him & was recomended to him by my counselor. He has a PHD so he KNOWS what he's talking about. His lectures really had the whole class thinking & at times crying!! he's also hilarious too. Class was never boring. I REALLY recommend him!! :)
I graduated 3 years ago and I took almost every professor their. Majoring in history, I will never have another professor like him. He pushes you to think, not to think a certain way, but to think in general. I don't have his class is informative and easy. Midterm is one paper, weekly quizzes, and final presentation at the end with a 2 page paper.
If you are looking for an easy American History class, then this is it. I myself love history with a passion but I found myself dissapointed with Gomez's lectures, he is very redundant. He goes on and on about opression and rarely discuesses anything else, I felt like I was in a Black History class than US history. History buffs look elsewhere.
I really miss this guy! I had a great time in his class I actually took him twice at 8am. it is definitely a class you can stay awake for, even early in the a.m.
The most amazing, passionate, caring professor I have ever had the pleasure of having!! He truely cares about all of his students and believes in the what he's teaching!! He will open your mind and heart to concepts you never looked at history through before. Valley is so lucky to have him there.. students know how lucky you are!! He Is The Best!!!
Great teacher! He really opens your eyes to how this country was really built, for the rich white, and how that is still true today. To bad for the rest of this country. Gomez needs a TV show not a classroom!!
I took his class in the summer for a 5 week course. It wasnt that easy but it still was easy. He has you write two papers, one for the midterm and one for the final both must be 5-7 pages. THere are lots of quizzes so make sure you read the book he quizzes you from. IT was easy for me and most so itll be easy for you.
Best professor ever!!! I strongly recommend everyone to take his class even if you hate history..You will LOVE history with him..You have 10 quizes and two 5-7pg papers..and his teaching is the best..I loved his class
He is the best teacher you will ever have. Took Native American history with him. He gave the best lectures about not only past events but also current ones.
Good Professor, You Will Never Fall Asleep :D
One of those teachers who is actually passionate about the subject and wanting you to learn. His enthusiasm and passion for teaching is immensely Inspiring to you and makes you want to do well. Something tells me hed still be teaching even if he wasnt getting paid.
Gomez is amazing must take his class he will change your Perspective on the world. He is very passionate inspiring ! Does drop f bombs !!! But keeps you awake in class and speaks at a level that you understand and can relate . He is a very young soul super friendly . If u want to stand for something and make change take his class .
Amazing Professor! TAKE HIM!
He really cares about his students and wants everyone to succeed. Do the work and read the text he assigns and you will get an A no problem. Slack off and you will see another version off Ed Gomez. Makes discussions fun and brings his personal life into the mix to let you know he knows what hes talking about. INSPIRING
Before attending his lectures, I hated history, but after taking his class I really understand the concept of history. He is one of my ideal personalities. He really inspired me. As a matter of fact, he is the best instructor of school. I wish I could take him again.
Professor Gomez is the best instructor I ever ever had. He is nice, understanding and helpful. He will do whatever he can to make sure you get a good grade. He is not there to get you through class but he actually develops interest in subject. He is really cool and knowledgeable. He knows exactly what he is talking about. Love Him!
So far he's the most inspirational prof. I've ever meet at Valley. He's motivating and passionate about teaching in every class.
awesome instrustor, a real eye opener! his class is a must!
I took this as my first college class back when I was in high school and let me tell you, if you are sensitive to language don't take him. But I loved him and his method of teaching. He is so passionate in what he teaches that he cried a couple times. He teaches from the minority viewpoint and makes it interesting. The books are very inexpensive.
AMAZING TEACHER! He made the class very interesting despite it being a history class. Takes some work but not a very difficult class. He really makes history relevant to you and does not bs you. Very enjoyable class
Gomez may just be the best professor at this school. He is so passionate and his lectures are so interesting and captivating. I had his class at 7am and I hate the mornings but I sprung up every class morning because I couldnt wait to listen to him! Inspirational! Class has pop quizzes for the assigned chapter readings. 2 Essays & 1 Oral. Take him!
By far one of the best professors at SBVC. Not only is he passionate about his job and very well educated, he cares deeply for his students. He made me enjoy History! His assignments are very straightforward and as long as you do what he asks you'll get an easy A. His lectures always draw you in and make you question your own opinions and thoughts
Mr. Gomez is an awesome professor he is very passionate about the subject i recently took his summer class requires a lot of reading and a 5page midterm and final plus quizzes from the Book Zinn so make sure you read every chapter overall its an easy class but a lot of work...
Mr. Gomez is an awesome professor i recently took his summer class 5page midterm and final be ready to read a lot he quizzes on every chapter from the Zinn book i enjoyed his lectures he made it very interesting
Mr. Gomez is an awesome teacher. He cares about his students and is very passionate about his job. i recently took his 5 week summer class. Be prepared to read a lot. overall, Mr Gomez makes history interesting you won't fall asleep!! good luck
One of my top 3 professors at Valley! His passion for real unbiased truth makes him a great historian. He lays out EVERYTHING you need to know up on the board, so notes go a long way in his course. He assigns A LOT of excellent reading, and there are two major papers he requires you to write. You will love his class. Highly recommend Prof. Gomez.
He is so helpful but if you need extra help go to his office hours. He is a great professor and he's hilarious! If you actually try in this class you have a high percentage of passing with an A! Take his class
Prof Gomez was my first college professor and i took him during the summer so we had a quiz every day and a 6 page midterm then a week after 6 page final. It was pretty easy if you read all the chapters which was a lot! He is beyond funny and overall a great guy and Awesome professor
Best History teacher I have ever taken. Makes me want to major in History. very funny and although there is a lot of reading, it is very interesting. He also shows a lot of relevant films in class that truly make you care about the subject. Take him and you will not regret it.
Amazing teacher ! Is a very loving teacher and you can clearly see he loves his job. He gives papers but they aren't hard. Do the reading! They aren't boring and help in class. I took his other classes just because he taught so well!
I hated History till I took his class. He keeps your attention and for the first time ever I was interested in a History class. He is very passionate about history and you cant help but learn so much. Keeps interest of class with his personality and language. Hate history? Take this class.
Contrary to the review below me.. Not rude or intimidating but very well respected by and respectful towards students. This professor is very funny and easy to understand. However, a lot of reading and 5 page papers! if your paying attention and being responsible you will not have trouble with this class.
A hell of a teacher and so well loved and respected not just by students but by all. His class is definitely a must especially if you're half as dedicated to learning as he is to teaching. Good luck all :)
He is very passionate about his lectures, loves all of his students, assigns a lot of reading, but gives very small quizzes based off of the readings. His midterm and final are about 7 pages long, but he gives a lot of resources to write them, so it's a piece of cake! He really knows his stuff! Definitely recommend taking him if you can!
Loved his class would take him again
His class was really inspirational, I took his Chicano class, and he just connects with his students on a deeper level. He is the kind of guy that You could just listen too for hours and understand everything he says. He is That good.
Gomez is an amazing professor! While there is lots of reading in his classes, he connects it well with lecture so if you fall behind you won't be totally lost. He assigning 5-7 page paper for midterm and final but he provides more than enough resources to make it a breeze! He is extremely passionate about what he teaches and its awesome!
Ed Gomez is the sort of man who makes you reckon with the fact that OUTSTANDING professorial work still exists in the world. He not only inspires you to learn history he makes you LOVE it. I heartily recommend him. This man is my favorite professor at Valley.
He is a super chill teacher, and is very passionate about history. I heard he cried when he discussed slavery, but also loves to joke about history. He gave us weekly quizzes so heads up, and if you miss them he even allows you to make them up. Pick your topic EARLY, but I did mine last minute and passed.:) Midterm harder than Final, do the project
Amazing professor, very passionate,Thanks to him I actually learn about the history of the United States . The books for his class are very good!
Mr. Gomez makes one enjoy history. He is very passionate in teaching and is a comedic person. Be expected to read alot and take quizzes almost every other day. The Midterm and Final are 5-7 pgs long but the instructor gives you everything you need to pass it. All of his instructions are dummy proof, clear and precise.
He is an amazing teacher, gives off extremely good feedback on the class. He does tend to yell alot, but in a way it makes the lecture more understanding. He is very passionate about history and it helps alot with understanding everything. he is hilarious and give extra credit. Be ready to read alot, he basses his test, midterms, and final on them.
Really good professor
Great professor!
I loves what he does. He is there when ever you need him. The quizzes are very simple .He gives a lot of extra credit. He gives amazing lectures.
I was recommended to take Ed Gomez by a former co-worker, right off the bat he has so much energy I never saw myself falling asleep in his class ever. A very passionate he pours his heart out in every lecture he's that kind of teacher you wish for. Taking a history class is a requirement in Valley so definitely, take it with Ed Gomez he's the best.
Professor Gomez is pretty awesome! His class was a joy to be in. He's really passionate about what he teaches. I took his class and he yelled a lot, but because he just gets worked up and excited! LOL. I still see him around school and he still remembers me, which is cool. Glad I took him! You won't regret it!
Professor Gomez is awesome I urge you to take his class its super easy but you got a lot out of it. His quizzes are super easy can't fail the class. The midterm and Final are so easy you study the topics in class.
Great teacher ... He is one of the best teachers there. I truly recommend him!! You won't regret it
Professor Gomez is an excellent professor.
Professor Gomez is an outstanding professor! By-far the most amazing, engaged and dedicated professor I've ever encountered. Gomez is very passionate, and extremely dedicated to his students.
super great professor.. you will love his lecture. )
Awesome teacher, very inspirational, he loves his jobs and is very passionate about it. You will pass the class very easily if you just follow instructions he's pretty clear and specific
He is the kind of teacher that would take the time to help you. He gives you all the important information you will need to pass the class ,and he reviews always in the start of class. you will have to do lots of reading
Professor Gomez is an AMAZING history professor. His funny lectures make the class interesting and he lectures like its a story so it's easy to understand. I Highly recommend this professor. Final and midterm is a five page paper, one presentation, easy quizzes, readings and many extra credit opportunities.
His grading style and what he is looking for is all in the readings he assigns. He helps and gives what answers he will look for in your Mid-term and Final. The biggest thing you need to understand is what he teaches in lecture. He is straight forward and speaks his mind, but it relates to what take places in history and to today. Respect 2 Mr. Ed
Great teacher- take him. To pass- show up, read, do the papers. DO THE PAPERS IN ADVANCE; he gives 3 and they're all towards the end of the semester so start them as soon as you can.
Freaking awesome professor and class!!! Would definitely take it again. Show up to class, take notes, read the book and handouts and you will pass. Very easy and very inspirational!!!! A lot to learn from Gomez
Mr. Gomez Is by far the best History Teacher on campus. He is so inspirational and passionate. I enjoyed every minute of lecture. There are quizzes on the reading and 3 papers. Gomez explains himself well so you will know exactly what he expects. I think every student should take Gomez at least once!!:)
I have taken this professor for both History 100 and Chicano history and he is by far the best professor at Valley College. He is so patient about his job and definitely will make you view things differently. I never wanted to miss any of his lectures.
I took professor Gomez for Hist 145 and absolutely loved it. He is very passionate during his lectures, he's super humble and down to Earth. If you pay attention in class and do the reading you can easily pass. He is particular about papers but he just wants his student to know how to write a college level paper. Overall, I highly recommend him.
A great instructor as well as a great person! Changed my viewpoint on everything happening in the United States. Lectures are very entertaining and full of spirit/emotions but also very understandable.
he is an amazing professor he is passionate about history. Definitely take him
LOVE MR. GOMEZ. I would definitely take him again. He is very inspirational, he is committed to his students and wants everyone to succeed, very passionate about chicano history. Best teacher I've had, I highly recommended him.
Is everything a professor should be!!!
Class revolves around assigned readings. Midterm is an essay. Final is an essay and a presentation. There is also an own choice book review. Quizzes generally every week. Watch videos and take notes also happens often. Take good notes. You will be expected to connect the dots between two assigned readings, you chosen book, and the videos.
Most inspirational caring teacher I have ever had. Be prepared to be screamed at during lectures then a second later see him choking up about to cry. I have never had a teacher who truly inspired me to do more. I left every class feeling angry and inspired to do something and help.
Very particular when it comes to writing your papers, tough grader, but if you try at least you can do good.
Believe the hype, this professor is one of a kind. Amazing lectures and his assigned reading is all books Ive gladly added to my library. Very inspirational; you will not want to miss a lecture. Academically, I wish I had more reasons to take his classes! Plenty of work is required in this class but he also offers a lot of extra credit and is fair
Love professor Gomez, his lectures are so interesting. He love what he teaches, which is the best in a professor make class so much fun. He gives Extra credit, I definitely recommend him. Very respected teacher he need to be recognize for how caring he is for everyone and for everything he does in the community.
His lectures are really exceptional. Warning must read all chapters if you expect to pass the class.
This professor is Extremely passionate about his job! His Lectures are NEVER boring. There is reading involved but as long as you read you will do great on every quiz just remember to be on time for every class! caring professor with so much knowledge regarding the Chicano culture...
I took his summer course and daily quizzes off of one book. Genuinely learned a lot. Midterm paper and final paper that are both take home. He tells you exactly what is expected. Also is really passionate about this class that makes the class so much better.
I took professor Gomez for the summer and let me tell you I never loved a subject of history until I took this class. So passionate about the subject he almost tore down and started crying about the mistreatments the Chicano people had to endure!! anyways there was about 12 -15 quizzes during the 4 months made 2 extra quizzes for extra credit GL
One of the best teachers I have ever had! He makes history really interesting and relevant to modern times. The required books are really interesting and great to read. History is a circle, where we should learn from past mistakes, but often don't.
I would definitely take him again
Gomez is an amazing professor. I took his California History class and it was extremely interesting. There were 3 papers with a final presentation. You must do the readings, but honestly the readings are super interesting and they are followed by a quiz the next class meeting. Just read and you will be fine. This class was one of my fave classes!
Wow, this is my first time eating a professor. I have been in school for years already. Professor Gomez stuck out the most out of many professors. He is very caring for his students. His lectures are so much fun and exciting. He is very good at making you think with each assignment. I have learned so much about myself due to his history 101.
He is one of the best professor at valley college. i would recommend anyone to take his classes. his lectures are amazing and hilarious, i took the 8 am class and his lectures kept me fully awake. i already took 2 semesters with him, if I could i would definitely take him again.
If you hate History, take professor Gomez class! He is hilarious. All you have to do is come to class due all his work and it is an easy A. I seriously usually get C in history and this is my first time passing with an A. He changed my perspective in life a lot.
professor Gomez is the BEST professor I have EVER had! I HATE history but he makes class so enjoyable. I had him for an 8am class and I actually WANTED to wake up and go to class. Hes amazing and wish professors would be more like him.
Professor Edward Gomez is hilarious, and gives inspirational lectures no doubt about it. But he really really makes you read a lot. you cant really skip out on some readings every now and then because he quizzes you first thing when class begins. Cool lectures but hes worse than a English 102 teacher, expects lots of papers and a presentation.
His class is definitely not for the easily offended. He is very straight forward on everything he says whether it's what he's teaching or what he expects of the work he assigns. 3 different books were required and the reading is necessary if you want to pass his on the clock quizzes. Midterm abstract and Final is a big part of your grade.
Words cannot express how much I loved taking this class with this professor. I was actually sad for the semester to end! Never in my life have I ever met such an amazing professor. He's hilarious, passionate, and he's a fair grader. There's a lot of reading and participation involved, but it's so worth it. I recommend for everyone to take Gomez!
To say Mr. Gomez is passionate is an UNDERSTATEMENT! I have never been taught history like this before in my life and I'm so grateful that I had to privilege to learn from him! He's hilarious and makes lectures beyond interesting. I took an 8 AM class and wanted to get out of bed to hear him speak. This guy --man, he's changing lives.
Professor Gomez is literally the best professor ever! He is very passionate about teaching and wants the best for his students. His quizzes are based on the readings of the week so make sure to read! He offers many chances for extra credit and his essay questions are not hard and he is extremely clear on what he wants when it is written.
Very dedicated and inspirational.
Fast grader. Besides the reading it was probably one of the easiest online class. Reading was intense but it was an 8 weeks course. Hes caring and wants students to succeed. Exams and quizzes are easy as long as you read or watched the videos. You also have plenty of time to take your exams or quizzes
Taking this class was one of the best things Ive done. Professor Gomez taught with so much passion it was inspirational. I was happy to attend this class. There is a bit of reading involved but doable. We wrote 2 papers and did a presentation. We also had weekly quizzes based on the reading. Easy quizzes as long as youve read.
In the first assignment of the semester he referred to some of the class as parrots because a little confusion over an assignment also non specific over what he wants from his students on assignments don't believe all the comments on rate my professor it's all hype.
Hes funny hes really nice and down to earth but does requiere a lot of reading quizzes are as soon as class starts not a min after and u cant make them up I had to drop the class bc I missed 2 quizzes and walked in for half of one.
Hes THE BEST! I took 3 of his classes and did well in each. He loves what he does and it shows which makes class exciting and fun. You actually learn with him unlike most history professors which are boring & just have u read things. Definitely recommend! You will love him and Im just a regular Lowkey student who sits in the back of the class
Professor Gomez is by far the best professor I've had. He really grasps your attention during lectures, gives you great examples of historical events to better understand the material. He allows his students to do extra credits, which we had every week. If you ever need help understanding the material, he helps you.
Absolutely loved his class. He is super inspirational. He is someone who loves his job. There is tons of homework each week but the information is super interesting that you just want everything to keep coming. I would take his class all over again. You should take it, hes worth it!
THE BEST! Professor Gomez made me want to reclaim the US for Mexico. He's changing lives and inspires everyone. He's super funny and caring! He offers a ton of extra credit. The only way you could fail his class is if you don't submit the work.
Professor Gomez was an amazing professor. Learning about the history of our people is important. Anyone who says they didnt enjoy his class or whatever is because they cannot face the truths that he speaks. He is truly an amazing, caring, and active professor in our college and community. I wish him nothing but the best! And 100% recommend.
Do not take his class if you are a lazy student. He is an amazing professor. You cannot find his stuff on quizlet. You must read and comprehend the material. His passion for his teaching makes it easy to comprehend the material! Show up and soak in the knowledge and you will be fine!
Professor Gomez is literally so cool, I would definitely take him again. You wont regret taking his class. There is a lot of reading but its not that bad.
Professor Gomez uses videos, lectures, and 2 books for his class. It requires a lot of reading and focus. He is an amazing professor, to say the least. Super inspirational! He is big on advocacy and the need for education on activism. He ties history to modern-day issues. If you want to understand the content, go to his lectures. You won' regret it
Took online class that was 8 weeks and it was a lot of reading from the textbook and also another book. Once you schedule the time you do your readings it's not overwhelming. The professor was passionate about his teaching so it makes you want to learn more. The weekly assignments have rubrics and he gives extra credit opportunities.
Very good and knowledgeable class, a lot of reading so be prepared. His class is simple do the reading and stay ahead and you will be just fine, start falling behind on reading and lectures it will be hard to recover. Will I take again? well yeah of course he's a respected all around great professor that makes you work for your grade.
Super funny, he is very clear when it comes to explaining assignments make sure you read the assigned assignments and do the work you will pass with an A.
Professor Gomez is quite passionate about his students. He truly cares for the welfare of the students in his classes as well as other members of Valley College. He is also encouraging and supportive. One item I liked about Professor Gomez was his sense of humor and his views on the topic of discussion. He is also quite knowledgeable in his field.
This professor is the best. The Native American History class was fantastic.
Professor Gomez is a great professor, the only thing that I didn't feel comfortable is the way he expressed himself with to many bad words, (everyone is free to express themselves) but that is just my own opinion. One thing that I didn't like is that he deletes his zoom recordings and kind of hard taking notes from there. Be prepared to read a lot
When I signed up for the class it did not state that zoom meetings were a must. You have to include information from the zoom meetings in the writing assignments and the final. He does make recordings of them but removes them at the beginning of the next week so notes are a must. I took it during the summer so it was a lot of work in a little time.
Zoom meetings are a must, you cannot pass the class without them. And he states that multiple times, he's not a very easy teacher to follow during zooms as he gets off topic fairly fast and most of the zoom meeting are very useless to me as you need examples for the assignment but half the zoom is his personal life, so big help that is. Hard grader
I recommend his class! I will admit he does assign quite a bit of work, but he makes you want to learn and participate as he is very passionate of what he does. He is also very open to questions if you have any!
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!
Awesome professor! I really appreciated his enthusiasm and love for the subject! Wish I could take this class a hundred times!
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 Gomez is fantastic. If you keep up with the work, you will be fine; Lots of work, though, plenty of reading and writing essays.
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.
