Gonzalez is a well intended professor, but his tests and homework are very difficult. Almost every test average was a failing grade.
This class was horrible. He has no defined grading scale, so you never really know how well (or how bad) your doing in the class. Tests and homework problems are way to diffcult to understand. There is a definite language barrier. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!!
he cant speak english. horrible handwriting. DONT TAKE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very tough. He didn't use a textbook so you only have his notes to study by. Which means you MUST attend EVERY class. There is nothing outside of notes to study. You will work for your grade.
This guy does as much as he can to help you to get the best grade you possibly can. From weighing your tests according to how well you do on them to awarding extra points for NOT coming to class (as well as attending), he really wants to help. Lectures are clear and very thorough. Homework and tests are a little hard, though.
I can barely understand him and read what he writes on the board, class is pure lecture and all tests and homework is on scantron/ multiplechoice
this prof is GREAT!!! your not required to go to class but if you do not miss a day he gives 5 bonus points on your final grade. an 85 or above is considered an A!! very easy class to pass as long as you pay attention!!! he's a funny guy and has lots of stories, he tries to relate to the students!! GREAT GUY....TAKE HIM!!!
He is an AWESOME guy!! really wants to help students get the best grades possible!! 85 counts as an A thats helpful!! I highly recommend Fidel, you don't need the book and if you go to class (or at least sign in) then you get 5 extra points toward your overall grade in the class!! he is pretty funny or at least tries!! TAKE HIM!!!
Great professor! Has a thick accent, but tries hard to make sure you understand. Class is lecture, no textbook use, drops lowest grades, fair grading scale, MC exams and HW, and gives extra points for attending class.
great teacher.test aren't hard.gives plenty opportunity to make an A.85+ is an A drops lowest quiz n hw grade.if u're pleased with ur grade at the end u dont have to take the final.gives good notes.just an overall good teacher he's a MUST TAKE! n u can get by w/o book.i only used it for hw wen the answer wasnt in my notes
AMAZING!!! TAKE HIM TAKE HIM TAKE HIM! I am a complete idiot when it comes to economics and I made an A!! His test are similar to the review, his grading scale is ridiculous!! If you make an 85 you get an A! Not hard at all, he's funny, and easy to talk to.
Great teacher, cute and exciting!
Fun class, Great teacher
AWESOME TEACHER. AWESOME CLASS. his has the cutest accent and he is really funny. makes it interesting and fun. looked forward to his class, and not just because he was cute
Great guy, hard class.
DO IT! He has a slight accent ;) which means you'll need to be attentive. I actually enjoyed learning this stuff because no question was too stupid to ask. He went the extra mile to catch me up after I was sick. He knows how to teach even with English as a second language.

He is a great teacher. You should take his ECO class. Take note and go over note and the PPT, you will get A easily. There are a lot of extra credits, too.
He is a wonderful instructor. I highly recommend him he really cares and works with his students because his main thing is that you pass his class. So he will work with you. You definitely have to work like any other class.
Great teacher, makes a couple of mistakes every now and then, but if you work hard for his class you are guaranteed an A. You don't need the book and there's plenty of extra credit opportunities, plus a three point curve on your final grade.
Dr. G is a cool professor. It is almost impossible to fail his class. He takes a personal interest in his students & you can tell he tries really hard to make the material interesting. Def. recommend him!
Great professor! Made going to class interesting, even though attendance was not necessary. Has a thick accent, but it just makes lectures funnier.
Great prof!
Great professor. Very helpful. I took him for an online class. Its a lot of work but he is very helpful. His lectures are great though he gets very repetitive. But overall a great class. Quizzes are very easy and a lot of extra credit. Do not buy the book, he doesn't use it.
Love tus guy! He is an awesome professor, very helpful and personable.
His accent isn't hard to understand. He gives extra credit and is more than willing to help if you don't understand. He's always chipper which makes his class easy to sit through. Although attendance isn't mandatory, I recommend going - he notices who attends class. COMPREHEND the material, it will help in ECON2302
Awesome professor! He was so willing to go above and beyond to help his students. I'm taking him online, and he is very quick to answer emails, and gives tons of extra credit. Textbook is not mandatory, I haven't opened it once! Overall, I am very pleased and will be taking him again for intermediate!
Great Teacher! Explanations very long but tells you exactly what you need to know. Didn't use the book. Print pwrpts, follow videos, take homeworks. Use hmwrks to study for exams. 3 exams, if ur happy w/ur grade - no final.Xtra credit given. no other projects. always answers email & questions. wants you to succeed. highly recommend 4 online class.
Took this class online. He is an awesome teacher!! Available to help at any time. His lectures and powerpoints are very clear and easy to understand. Hmwk and quizzes count towards your grade. Plenty of extra credit chances!! I wish he taught all the classes I need!
I took Intermediate Microeconomcs online with Dr Gonzalez. The subject matter was not difficult, but he is a terible lecturer. Do not take him in person! The class is tolerable if you just go from the written material, but I on wtched oe of his mind-numbing lectures. Easy class.
Unbelievably easy class. There were video lectures over every unit so just watch those and you'll probably get a grade over 100. He gives a ton of extra credit. Seems really enthusiastic about the class. Very very helpful. I LOVED his class. I wish all my professors were like him. You don't need the textbook, just watch the lectures.
Plenty of extra credit, clearly explained everything. You do not need the book. Made an A without purchasing the book. If I could take every class with him, I would.
I took his online course. He video tapes his lectures and they are a tad bit dry, but I learned a lot and actually looked forward to homework. He does quizzes, homework, practice exams and extra credit. If you put your time into the class and do all these things, you will do well.
Took online. I received a B, but clearly deserved, as I did my quizzes and test very last minute. Did not open the textbook ONCE! He posts his lectures online ( watched one.) Read the PPT, you get all your answers from there. If you don't have Microsoft Office, it's okay as he also posts his PPT in PDF format. TAKE HIM! Lots of extra credit given.
I took online. No book needed. All I did was study the power points he provided and completed every assignment. He drops lowest test and HW grade, gives lots of extra credit. Uses test bank on multiple choices test. Take him if possible. Hard content, but he's a great teacher.
He is so funny and a really great teacher! He give you a practice exam you can take as many times as you would like and its almost identical to the test just different numbers. He post all the notes online and you don't need to purchase the book. I would take anything he taught! He was one of my favorite professors.
His class is probably not one of the easiest econ classes, but I actually learned in his class, and made a B. His lectures are a bit long, but he's funny, his accent made me smile. I never used my book, just watch the lectures and take good notes. He has good PP's too.
Great professor. Book isn't needed so don't waste your money. Go to class, pay attention and the lectures will be posted online so you should be good to go. Not to mention he's hilarious so you won't be bored.
Breaks down the information very nicely. Gives super easy pop quizzes and short tests. HW and practice tests can be done online multiple times. Very fun class and made me want to attend every time. He really knows his stuff and knows how to teach as a intro class. Still have to pay attention and do the work.
He is my favorite professor on campus. He explains everything really well and is accommodating if you have to reschedule a test. Tons of extra credit available! He's super funny and super nice. Don't worry about the quizzes, it's like 2-3 really easy questions. Easy A if you put some effort and pay attention. Don't buy textbook, you don't need it.
Overall Dr. Gonzalez was a great professor. He responded to emails quick, was very helpful and he was pretty funny during lectures. Homework assignments are easy he drops the lowest one, as well as the quizzes. Exams aren't too hard he posts practice exams on BB as reviews they're pretty helpful and he also gives extra credit occasionally.
I took his online Econ 2301 and made a B. There is a lot of work, and I had trouble getting some of the videos to download because they aren't all in the same format. But he is interesting to listen to and I loved his accent. He gives lots of examples.
Econ is an extremely boring subject but he is a good professor. Write everything he puts on the board. He gives a LOT of extra credit opportunities. You get points added to your final grade for attending class everyday. He give practice exams for every test. I recommend taking his class.
Absolutely the best professor at Sam Houston! Very clear, very helpful, and pretty funny. Relates lectures to real world issues. Outlines important material that will be on tests and quizzes and breaks down his notes. Very easy to get an A in his class, overall the best professor I've ever had! Oh and he doesn't care about phones, laptops, etc!
Take Him! Best online class I've ever taken and actually enjoyed. Easy A if you read the lectures! Get your calculator ready.
He is a very nice man and is more than willing to wok with you! The exams are proctored and difficult but he offers extra credit. There are quizzes and homework assignments but they are they to make sure you understand the material.
Please don't take this professor. Lectures are hard.I took this class online and you have to understand the equation by only reading the lecture notes.
I took this class online and was surprised by how quicky the teacher responds back to emails and how willing he was to help students out. Yes you do have to teach yourself the information using the powerpoint notes so if you are not a good self learner do not take the class online
Horrible!! This teacher will give you quizes and exams on proctorfree. He has a very strong assent sometimes impossible to understand. dont take this professor at all.
This course is tough no matter who your prof is. He does have a strong accent at times, but is willing to answer any of your questions and go over anything you don't understand. You HAVE to study for exams! DO NOT SKIP CLASS! Lectures are essential to passing his exams! Overall he's a great prof and yes, there is extra a good amount of extra credit
Don't take him or you will regret. Took his class online, there is a lot of home work, quizzes and 4 exam in proctor free. Long boring lectures, hard to understand notes and professor himself is not helpful so my advice choose a different professor.
Good professor for a course most people don't fancy. Gives extra credit for exams regularly. The class slowed down closer to the end of the semester but I wasn't overwhelmed to prep for the final.
Hard to understand in video lectures. Some material is not covered, but rather in the textbook that you are required to know. Economics is my hardest topic.
He is cool and amazing. He gives 4 exams total. You do need to take the final and it's comprehensive. The final exam is 15 percent of your grade, but it can replace your lowest test grade. Do not skip classes, take good notes, do the practice exam as many times as you can. Do the extra credits. Six quizzes, SUPER easy. Drop lowest quiz and HW.
Dr. Gonzalez is a cool guy. Four exams total, 3 are 25% and final is 15%. There are 6 homeworks and 6 quizzes, but he will drop the lowest one at the end of the semester. He posts grades on time. easy class if you study. Detail PPT and notes. Additionally, no absences will receive 2 extra credit points add to the final letter grade.
It was a big Mistake, I should have chosen some other professor. tough tests and lots of homework. No help from the professor at all. you read his notes and you are on your own. wont suggest him to anyone.
Would recommend to a friend.
Overall the class was not bad. The video lectures were occasionally very long; however, I just read the topics myself instead of spending time on the videos. Do the extra credit practice!!! It looks like the test and helps tremendously. The book was not needed, all material is provided. If you put in the effort it is an easy "A".
Homework & Exams consist of 25 questions and quizzes consist of 3 questions. You have 2 chances at homework and quiz and he counts only the highest grade of the two. He also gives extra credit homework(like exam) to count towards your exams. Very easy online class and I like how he spreads out the assignments with sufficient time to complete.
I loved this class, it was so interesting and Dr. G is my favorite. There's a lot of notes and they're important so bring a laptop or be ready to write. There are practice tests for extra credit before every test, do them and you'll pass. There is homework but it helps you learn the material and isn't terribly long or difficult. Recommended x 1000
Dr. G is my favorite! Structured and organized class: extra credit practice exams, homework and pop quizzes. There are a lot of notes. Exams can be a little tricky, but as long as you review and take the practice exam prior, you'll do fine. It's a straight forward class. I highly recommend Dr. G!
His quizzes that he gives are always from the previous class. His tests are more multiple choice rather than actually doing work. So know the vocabulary and how it works. He is very helpful when you ask for it.
I'm terrible at this class but I still passed. His lectures are long but help a ton and he gives A TON of extra credit which might seem like a lot of work but its so worth it. His tests are proctored but as long as you know the work they aren't very hard.
He tells you not to buy the textbook, but the biggest mistake is not buying it. BUY IT! When I asked for help he made me feel dumb about myself. His lectures are facts and his homework consist of word problems he does not go over in class. it is VERY frustrating. I honestly do not recommend this class, especially if you are a visual learner.
Dr. G is not only a passionate and highly knowldable professor, but he is a TOTAL BABE. He is driven, righteous and fair. He goes above and beyond to help you and will put in the effort to make you succeed, if you choose to do so. Take his China study abroad program in the summer. You'll have the time of your life. Did I say TOTAL BABE??!!
I took his last semeter, totally loved the class, he makes Ecomonic easy to understand, plus he's funny, He there to help you if you dont understand something, gives a lot of extra credit. impossible to fail his class. Very interesting class!! take his class
He cares about his students and really listens to feedback. Lots of extra credit opportunities. Do the practice exams as many times as you can and you will get an A on his tests! You have to put in the work but you will learn a lot in this class. I would definitely take him again.
good professor, gives good lectures and is willing to listen. many opportunities to do well, would recommend!!
Quizzes are easy but tests are extremely hard!!! He is a smart guy just cant transfer his thoughts very well to english.
Don't waste your time watching the lecture videos. I took notes on the practice problems and taught myself. 3 Exams, the 4th is the Final replaces your lowest test grade & is mandatory. 6 Homework assignments and quizzes, drops the lowest one. Only for exams he uses Proctorfree, webcam program to monitor you. Online class is easier than in class
Good professor overall, hard to understand sometimes
I like his accent :)
Good class but he's hard to understand
The online class was great!
I really needed to study to even pass the tests. But I really don't get Economics. It's like another language
It is a good course but a little hard to understand sometimes.
It is a straight foreword course. He gives practice exams, which are basically the exams just with different numbers. unlimited attempts for them. Go to class for extra credit. Homework isn't difficult, go to tutoring for help. He is a funny professor and very helpful. If you have a question he is eager and quick to answer. not a difficult class!!
Great professor. Extra credit is plentiful. Easy to contact. Hes hilarious. Lots of notes but so helpful. Tests are easy. Beyond easy quizzes trust me. Homework given many attempts. Do the practice exams!!!!!! It is extra credit and helpful to see exactly what will be on test.
Tests are a bit difficult but study and you'll be fine
We had six homeworks, six quizzes, three exams, and a final. Homework is on BlackBoard. He posts practice quizzes as well, and if you receive between a certain grade, you get X number of bonus points added to your exam. His lectures are full of good information. He has an accent but will repeat himself if you ask. Attendance is taken daily.
This class was very interesting. 3 tests and a final exam. 6 super easy quizzes and 6 online homeworks. He drops your lowest quiz & HW grade and give PLENTY of extra credit. Take the practice exams on blackboard as many times as you can and the tests will be super easy.
Dr. Gonzalez is very thorough in his lectures. He provides examples that are very relatable to the students and easy to understand. The textbook is not a necessity if you are attentive in class and take detailed notes. Dr. Gonzalez has such a great attitude towards his students and is always helpful.
Fidel is BY FAR one of the best professors in SHSU economics department. I have taken him for 3 semesters now and loved his class more and more each time. He makes a somewhat intimidating subject so fun and relatable. He jokes around with his students and applies to topics in concepts you can understand... (part 1)
(pt 2) Go to class, write down ALL the notes. He explains everything. Study what he tells you- hes straight up and tells you how to make an A, he isn't lying- do what he says and you will make an A. People get mad bc they can't make an A but literally take NO notes & do the Practice exam once . I did so well in this class bc notes, office hours...
Cares about his students .
Professor Gonzales is the best Macro professor on campus. His lectures use real world topics and always tells a few dad jokes here and there. The homework wasn't that much.
Absolutely love this prof. He does have an accent but you can understand he does have bad handwriting but you can read it. He is very passionate about econ and cares about his students. He offers tons of extra credit. You do need to study for test but he gives you a practice test you can do as many times as you need.
Dr. G is an amazing professor. By far the most amazing teacher I have ever had. Each test he gives an opportunity for extra credit!!
Loved this professor. He gives so much extra credit for each exam. He also posts all the notes from class. He assigns homework and quizzes which aren't aren't too bad. He also posts practice exams before the exams which are really helpful and similar to the exam. He wants the class to do good so if you put effort into the class you'll be fine.
When i tell you this was the best class I ever took? Take it to heart. Dr. G will give up to a whole letter grade as extra credit on exams. The practice exams he posts online are pretty much what the test will be like. Those who dont attempt the practice are the ones who fail. Dr. G is hilarious and loves his money... you'llsee what I mean
Dr G is literally the BEST professor ever. Normal amount of work but makes it fun and interesting. Jokes a lot in class and doesn't require a textbook. You respect him, he respects you. actually teaches you without boring you. I would take him for every class possible.
Professor Gonzales is very fair and clear with all of his assignments. Has 6 online homework's that you have a week to finish and 6 in class quizzes that are simple and easy to get a 100 as long as you have a basic understanding of what is going on. 3 tests and a final all of which have extra credit opportunities that are added to test grade.
This prof not only really cares about his students passing, but he actually wants you to know the material. Textbook isnt required (some people swear it helps them though). Go to class and take thorough notes and youll pass. He provides many extra credit opportunities that boost your grade.
Took Econ 3357 online. If you dont do the hw or quizzes you will not pass. Does drop the lowest grade of each (quiz, hw, exam). Final exam is comprehensive. He does NOT respond to emails, I even stalker called his office and left voicemails. Exams are proctored via lockdown with video.
3357 Online was definitely more math than I anticipated, however nothing really difficult. Gives plenty of extra credit, multiple attempts on homework and quizzes, and the practice exams help you out so much. Anyone who takes this class and puts in 2-3 hours a week should at least make a B. Only negative are his lectures are sooo long.
This is not an easy class but Professor Gonzalez is really great. He helps you as much as a professor can possibly help. The course is laid out in a great way and its immediately clear that he wants his students to succeed. I did not watch any lecture videos as I was not a huge fan of them but got an A as its hard NOT to do well with him
I would highly recommend taking Dr. Gonzalez for Macro and Microeconomics! He is a professor who cares about his students. He doesn't overload you with work and the textbook is not required. I thought he was funny, so his lectures stayed interesting. He gives you practice exams before each test which you have unlimited attempts to do.
Took Dr. G for 3357 online. This is the second class of his I've taken. There's a great amount of extra credit! If you watch the lectures and do the homework then you should pass the class. Exams are proctored, but he gives you a practice exam to help study. He was definitely one of the most understanding professors I've had this semester.
Have taken him for ECON 2302, 2301 & 3357. Class schedule is pretty straight forward and the same throughout all of his courses. Lectures are long but I recommend attending. He works with you if he notices that you attend the lectures and actually try with the homework. The practice exams prepare you for the actual exams and count as extra credit!
Professor G, is amazing! He is the reason I changed my major to international business. He does everything he can to make sure you get a good grade, extra credit and practice exams but don't put in the effort or work and you won't pass. Highly recommend!!!
I would recommend this professor! He is the best! His lectures are lengthy but entertaining. He gives a good amount of homework and quizzes, but they really do prepare you for his exams! His class is challenging, but he gives you SO many extra credit opportunities! As long as your willing to put in the effort, this class should be easy to pass!
Math is not my subject at all but he explains everything in great detail and emphasizes important parts to remember. Lots of lectures but they are broken up and you have some room to work at your own pace. Must watch the lectures though and absorb what is being said and you'll do fine. Didn't use the book once. Lectures are very thorough.
He explains in great detail in his video lectures. It may feel like a lot of videos to watch but his test arent that hard. & hes really kind and understanding as a professor.
Gonzalez is a really good professor. He gives hella extra credit and tests or only like 25 questions and there are 3 exams.. you get a practice exam which is extra credit before every exam as well as other extra credit assignments. Try and you can for sure pass.
There are 6 quizzes, 6 HW, 3 exams, and a mandatory final. He gives you chances to earn extra credit on exams, even the final! He's also very understanding, he's extended due dates for my class a couple times. If you watch his lecture videos (they're long) and take notes, then everything is easy. You can have notes with exam.
I recommend taking Dr. Gonzalez! His class is very straight forward. If you watch the lectures and do the homework, you should do fine in the class! He offers plenty of extra-credit throughout the whole semester. Practice Exams are similar to the test. If you have any questions, he is quick to respond.
You have 6 Homework, 6 quizzes and and 4 exams. You basically teach yourself this class. Cannot understand his videos or his hand writing when explaining material. He does offer extra credit, but doesn't really help. ALL exams are lockdown browser. Never responds to emails when asking about your grade.
The best professor!! He responded to emails so quickly and was always willing to go the extra mile to make sure his students understood the course material. He always uploaded the most detailed lecture videos that went along with his powerpoints. Do the practice exams, they help so much!
10/10 would recommend taking Dr. Gonzalez! I took him for Econ 2301 and 2302. He gives you a practice test that you can take as many times as you want and it is the same lay out as the actual test. Taking the practice test as much as you can is the best thing you could do to do well on his test. HWs you can take as many times as you want too.
Dr. G is good at explaining things. There is a lot of homework and quizzes but they are easy for the most part. TAKE THE PRACTICE EXAMS!He offers extra credit points for the test if you do the practice exams and take the practice exam as many times as you can because they have the same exact questions for his actual exams. Easy A, dont need a book
Hes a great professor,took him for both Econ classes and hes straight forward, lots of the questions in homeworks and quizzes will be on your exam. Exams are proctored, though. The questions you have to work out are like eachother so if you understand one, youll understand a lot. Has extra credit by doing practice exams, which are like the exam
I cant believe I found a prof like him. Econ is hard but he made it seem so easy. His way of teaching is the best method because he is not stressing you with course he provides everything you need. Also he test are monitored but open notes. I even remember what was chapter one was about. TAKE IT THIS CLASS IF YOU WANT TO LEARN WITHOUT STRESS.
The lowest homework and quiz grades were dropped, and they had unlimited attempts so there is no reason for you to do bad on them. Exams allow 2 attempts but the final exam also replaced your lowest test grade. The exams basically just use the questions from the hw and quizzes. A good grade might require effort but I wouldn't call it hard.
Unlimited homework attempts, 2 attempts on quizes and exams, you can use notes on exams, comprehensive notes. As long as you write down what he writes during lectures you will get an A in this class. Great professor, too. Great lectures and funny guy. Class groupme's are moderated by him, but he's very talkative in them and will help anytime in it.
Professor Gonzales is the absolute best. I am terrible at math and he has made a hard class my favorite of the semester. He is hilarious and his lectures actually teach you something and are not boring. Gives extra credit and multiple attempts on homework, test and quizzes. TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. I wish all professors were like him.
AMAZING & entertaining professor. He helped students LEARN instead of MEMORIZE the material, & yet the workload isn't huge. You get several days to take 2 attempts on each exam, open book/notes, the option to take them online or in-person, final exam grade replaces lowest test grade, & extra credit practice exams (just like the exam) are given.
I did not enjoy the subject, but really enjoyed the professor. He loves what he teaches and cares about his students. Very understanding and willing to help. This class is not easy but if you work for it you will pass. Definitely recommend going to class because his lectures help a lot. Open note tests, but definitely need to still study.
I took Prof. Gonzalez for ECON 2302. Hes a cool guy, but not a great lecturer. You can barely hear him over half the time, and he is always in a rush to get done. The homework and exams are nothing like we go over in class. Take someone else for this class. Youll thank me later.
Dr.G is one of the most caring professors I know. He gives two attempts on each test. There are practice problems you can do that are very similar to the test. If you are willing to put in the work you will see it reflect in your grade. I will be taking him again.
An amazing professor. I was online, so time management was key! There was about 2 quizzes and 2 homeworks before each exam, and there were 4 exams. There were tons of extra credit opportunities. If I planned my time right, I was sometimes able to go a week without thinking about his class. You can't work ahead, because he releases each assignment.
Professor Gonzalez is an amazing professor! He posts his lectures and notes that you can print out. The notes go with the lectures he posts so you can follow along. He explains everything very thoroughly. His quizzes are the same as his exams just numbers switched up. He makes sure youre actually learning.
Dr Gonzalez is a great professor. He offers extra credit opportunities for every exam. Attendance is not mandatory, but definitely helps. He does post the lectures on blackboard. Very involved and active in the class group me which is very helpful when anyone has any questions. Lectures are very well taught. I would definitely recommend his class!
2 attempts on exams, highest grade counts. Handwritten notes allowed, but proctored. Multiple quizzes and homework with several attempts. Has practice exams that are like the real exam and are extra credit. He writes his lecture on the whiteboard but also has PPT. Indicates important concepts that will be on the exam. Cumulative final.
6 homeworks (endless attempts) and 6 quizzes 2 attempts). 3 tests and a final that allow 2 attempts. Practice exams that give you extra credit on the actual test. The practice exams are almost exactly like the test. Super responsive and helps you though any questions you have. Highly recommend him!!!
Not even half way through the semester but for the first time in my life I understand economics. 10/10 recommend!
Very easy and cool professor. His accent throws you off a little bit but he breaks down the class and helps you. All homework/ quizzes, exams are online. Exams are proctored but you get 2 attempts. Homework is infinite attempts and quizzes is also 2/3 attempts.
Cant say enough good things about him. He really cares for you and goes above and beyond to make sure this class is as easy as he can make it. take him if you can!! Has a group me and responds right away and most of the time extends assignments and exams if you need extra time. We need more professors like him.
10/10 amazing professor! There is no reason for failing his class! He goes above and beyond helping his students! Gives every opportunity to excel in his class! Always responds to students outside of class. Extra credit, extra time on assignments, notes for tests. Like hello? Take him!
Everything is online except the lectures. Fidel posts the lecture videos online and is very flexible and understanding. Tests are easy with the practice exams Quizzes are short and easy Homework is similar to exams. SO MUCH EASY extra credit opportunities. Do the assignments and you will easily pass.
10/10 professor. I struggled with the class, (overall difficult class) But! he made it easy! He is very nice and willing to help around the clock. His handwriting is a little hard to read in lectures but he also posts everything online. 3 exams and 1 final. around 5 homework for a semester. Plenty of extra credit too. pick this professor!
Professor Gonzalez is amazing. His lectures are perfect, compares everything to the real world and tells you things to write down that is going to be on the test. He gives you an option if you want to take that tests online or in person. Tests are proctored but very simple. Gives unlimited chances on homework and 2-3 chances on quizzes. recommend!
BEST PROF EVER!!! i wish i could take him for all of my business classes. hes able to relate to college students and makes us laugh! hw, quizzes, tests online. (tests proctored) and multiple attempts. as well as extra credit. attendance isnt mandatory but GO TO CLASS if you want a good grade. his lectures are really good. 10/10 must take this prof!
i could write a book abt how great he is. genuinely my favorite & 10/10 recommend. multiple chances on every assignment and his lectures really do help you understand the material. attendance is not mandatory but skipping will make the class much harder than it needs to be. TAKE THIS PROFESSOR IF YOU WANT TO PASS AND WANT TO LIKE GOING TO CLASS!!!!
I would rate the professor higher but be prepared to read the lecture notes and memorize the graphs and tables that are used within the power points if not you will not pass the test due to him not providing them for you when completing the test. Overall he does have a great personality and is very passionate about tying the real world .
Professor Gonzalez is actually a really good professor. Economics is hard to understand in general so you have to really break your head about it but he does post the PowerPoints after every lecture and if you reread those you'll pass the class easily. Please be very mindful of his accent, just ask him to repeat himself, and don't be rude about it.
Prof G is nice, but a tough prof. He really loves what he's teaching, but ends up overcomplicating things that are simple because he likes to get SUPER detailed about concepts. I think this is just a hard class overall, and I think he knows this because he offers lots of extra credit. It seems like there are too many topics crammed in 1 semester.
The best professor I've had. He gives amazing lectures and relates everything to the real world which makes everything easier to understand. Taking the practice exams before the test will help you so much I cant stress that enough. This course requires you to understand the material but he makes it interesting so its not difficult to stay engaged.
He is very easy to communicate with, either by email or GroupMe. He did his in-person lectures by handwriting, not by powerpoint. PowerPoint's were provided in his course material. Offered plenty of extra credit opportunities. He is also always willing to help during his office hours, or by appointment. Attendance is not mandatory but recommended.
Hard content, but amazing & understanding professor. Always responds to his groupme, or email. Make sure you listen to his lectures, not just take notes on the slides. 3 exams & final, all proctored (get 2 attempts) but you get to use notes. extra credit practice exams are crucial for tests, with unlimited attempts 3 homeworks with two attempts.
Personable, funny, engaging, and a fair grader. Writes many of his own test questions, so good luck on Quizlet. His teaching style is entirely by hand on the whiteboard during class, so it can be a difficult adjustment, but he is always willing to explain more. Heavy homework, tests are hard. Use your resources, pay attention, and you'll pass.
He did a very good job explaining things! Go to lectures!!
Professor G is engaging and explains concepts well, though the class can get quite detailed at times. Attend lectures, use resources like Unstuck ai, and you'll do well. Tough but fair grader - multiple assignment attempts help.
Great professor! Watch the lectures and work through the practice questions. The exams are proctored, but he provides a practice exam and review sessions to help with studying. He's very responsive and has a GroupMe for the class. There's more math involved than I expected. The course includes 10 homework assignments, 3 exams, and a final.
Great professor, he makes content seem easy to understand with lectures.1 homework every week (10 total). Does examples of homework in class and has a review for exams. Exams are broken into parts, there is extra credit, multiple attempts per part, and you are allowed a sheet of notes. Overall, a pretty easy class if you attend lectures regularly.
This class would have been easier if it was offered in person, but Dr. Gonzalez does his best with the resources he has. He provides numerous videos of lecture describing concepts and always provides substantial extra credit on exams. Practice exams are identical to his exams and the perfect way to study. He truly wants his students to succeed.
This class is very difficult but Fidel does everything he can to make it enjoyable and passable. He gives multiple extra credit opportunities for each test, and gives 2 attempts for each test. There are practice exams that can be taken as many times as you want which look similar to the tests. His tests do require lockdown.
Top G of Economics Department.
Great professor for such a dreaded subject. Gives multiple chances to get an A. If you don't get a decent grade, you honestly would have to take the (2-3 tries) he gives you blindfolded! The lecture videos are kinda long, but follow his practice exams for the actual tests and you'll be fine. Awesome person to teach this topic!
So funny, so sweet, easiest professior and most understanding! He knows how to grade and will make sure you pass just turn everything in!!!
Dumbs down concepts. Each exam has 2 attempts and bonus point opportunities, and are preceded by extra credit practice exams. There are 10 homework assignments, 10 questions each. 2 lowest are dropped. If the grade on the final is higher than a regular 1-3 exam, the final replaces it. Provides late versions of homework and exams. Funny at times.
Honestly one of my favorite professors. He gives you lots of chances to pass which is awesome. His tests are online but they're proctored. You should be able to pass the exams if you do the homework and the practice exams which have unlimited attempts. I definitely recommend taking him!
