Good professor, his lectures are quite easy to understand and he will omit what he thinks not important. But it's still a difficult course so there will be a lot of homework and quite hard exams.
I had to take this class and it's been so much harder than expected. I came in with a year of calculus experience and it really has paid no dividends. He just assumes students know what's going on in the class, so he doesn't explain anything in detail.
The classes were well organized and knowledge was really easy to understand. The professor was energetic and funny. He likes to give surprises of extra credits and full points. In addition, it is easy to get A if you listen to the class carefully.
The class was tough at points, but he always seemed willing to help people understand what they needed to know. He seemed to care if people did well on tests, but generally made his tests fairly difficult. Overall, he was a pretty decent guy.
Calc is tough but Professor Gonzales was always willing to help. Ask questions when something is unclear and he will do his best to dumb it down. A great Math 104 teacher at UNL. He wants the students to succeed but ultimately it is up to the student to put the work into the class.
I typically do fairly well at anything Math related. In lecture he would make us write down tons of notes that were not even relevant to the material. During lecture he always stated that if we needed help, go to his office. After visiting him I had never felt stupider. I felt he was rude and unhelpful. Expect lots of new material on tests.
I suck at Math and its college so don't expect things to be easy. But calc was difficult but he was ALWAYS willing to help. He dropped lowest quiz grades and his goal is for everyone to pass! When you meet at office hours you understand it more!!! The class was a bit time consuming but I mastered calc very well. Hes clear on his teaching!
Kevin Gonzales I feel will be one of the best professors I will ever have in college. Talking with my peers, when comparing Mr. Gonzales to other 104 professor's he is by far the best. He made the somewhat fast paced course seem more than manageable. In lecture he only covered topics needed for quizzes and exams saving time. He always asks for ?'s.
Professor Gonzales is a godsend when comparing my experience to others in 104 with different professors. He explains everything clearly you just need to put in the effort. I found that sitting in the front was a life-saver too:) He definitely does his part in making the class and lectures geared toward the exams so you only learn what you need.
I suck at math, yet I understood what he was saying. I went to his office hours every week and it helped so much. Don't need the book. Quizzes and tests are hard though.
This was my second time taking this class and it was much easier to understand. Gonzales does a good job of always making sure students have time to ask questions in class. Quiz every week matters and will let you replace low quiz scores. THE FINAL IS SO CRUCIAL!! Went into final with a B- and wound up with a C-.
Mr. Gonzales cares about his students and wants everyone to succeed. He goes at a good pace and ensures everyone understands the material and is very helpful if you don't. He writes the tests and gives you clear guidelines on what to study and some of his quiz and review questions end up on the test word for word.
KG is a good dude
He really cares about his students and puts a ton of effort into making sure that you know the material. By far the best math professor I've had at UNL.
I liked this class because he focuses on using logic to solve the problems instead of memorization. Although they want you to rent a textbook, we used a "workbook" that we use more in class. I only used the textbook to study occasionally, but he usually posts retired exams to study with. If you don't understand something he makes himself available.
Awesome teacher. I had troubling passing something called the Math CRA at the beginning of the year and went to get help me from him, and he sent me an email congratulating me after I passed. In a class of 120 you won't find that very often. The course is hard, especially if you didn't take any calc prior.
Kevin is a great teacher who seems to really care about helping students succeed, but is also super relatable and is really understanding , especially if you go talk to him.
Typical adjunct lecturer.
The best math teacher I've ever had. Clear explanations and always willing to help during office hours. Tests weren't bad, he usually gave us a heads up on what to study and gave us old exams to practice.
I could see he really cares student. He was the best math teacher I've ever had
Helped me pass the class, let me redo tests for points back, was very helpful in office hours. Overall, the best professor I've had at UNL.
Gonzales is the best math teacher I have ever had. He really wants you to succeed, and his lectures are very easy to understand. Don't take 104 with anyone else.
He was very helpful and genuinely cares about your success. Only Friday (worksheet days) are mandatory but I would highly recommend going to lecture and taking notes. The tests are almost exactly like the practice exams he sends out.
Gonzales is an amazing professor. He clearly cares about the welfare of his students and he truly wants everybody to do well. His lectures are to the point and he makes the most out of your 50 minutes. As long as you use your resources and apply yourself it is almost impossible to do bad in the class. I hope I can work with him in the future.
Hes the best Professor, Ive ever had. Gives all the possible material to help you study. Best explanation
Dr. Gonzales is one of the best professors I've had so far. Sure, the class itself is fairly difficult, but he makes it tolerable with his helpfulness and accessible office hours. He reminds you of events/concepts throughout class which is great as a freshman, and really shows interest in each individual student. Visit him during office hours!!!
Dr. Gonzales is a great math teacher, especially for 104. He doesn't get too conceptual but teaches you methods to find answers, instead of complicated theories. His class does not have pop quizzes, but worksheet reviews which are great. His office hours are unattended but very helpful. Kind and understanding, but also firm. Would take again.
Great Professor. He makes math easy.
I had taken calc 1 in high school so I already knew what was coming at me. He was alright at explaining concepts, his lectures were pretty good. He does care about success and is easy to talk to.
Dr. Gonzales is an excellent professor who makes Calc actually a bearable/ semi-enjoyable course. Lectures with lots of examples of how to complete problem rather than just the concepts, which is very helpful. Very personable, and incredibly knowledgeable, would recommend to anyone for 104/106.
Calc2: a nightmare. Becuase the class was intense he was pretty understanding with the homework. We still had to do the homework but on things no one could get he'd help. No matter who you take it with it'll be insanely difficult so I'd say Dr. Gonzales might be your best bet. Also he tries to be as helpful as possible with what will be on the exam
Kevin was my favorite professor at UNL my freshman year I hated math but he made me enjoy it again. I was out his office hours every chance I got to ask for help and he pushed my grade .5% when I needed it to move up a letter grade.
Dr. Gonzales is the best math teacher I've ever had. He truly knows his stuff and explains it very well.
Professor Gonzales is a great Math Professor. I never was very good at math in high school, mostly passing by with a low or high C. I took him for math 106 as well as some of my friends in 104. He was very helpful in lecture allowing for questions as well as having his office hours always open. He also allows for group quizzes every Friday!
kevin gonzales is the goat
Kevin Gonzales is the best math teacher I've ever had. He genuinely cares for his students and is totally willing to help them in any way he can! He's a great guy!
Ohhhkaayyyy class with Kevin was a good time. I skipped two fridays and still got 50/50 for attendance, do not recommend skipping. Homework is just online a few times a week and you can use symbolab and desmos to fly through most of it. Kevin really cares about the students and even invited us to his family's Thanksgiving. Cons: Duke & Eagles fan.
Professor Gonzales always has energy during class. He makes sure none of his students fall behind. He gives quizzes on Friday that are usually group quizzes that really boost your grade. The other people I know in Math 104 did not like their teachers, however, I loved Gonzales. Willing to do anything to help out his students.
I loved having Kevin as a professor. I thought his lectures were incredibly helpful, and you can tell he really wants you to succeed! If you can take his class, do it. He is passionate about the subject and does everything he can to make sure everyone understands what he is saying.
Excellent lecturer. Pay attention to his lectures and do his homework, youll get an A.
Will go out of his way to help all of his students. Take advantage of his office hours, helps you understand concepts and will explain it as many times as you need. Kind and understands math isn't for everyone but if you put in the work he will make sure you make it though the class! Do everything you can to take class from Dr. Gonzales!!
It is a very hard class but he dose everything to help you get through it! Very helpful in office hours and will do all he can to help you understand the material!
ive never gotten above a C before in a math class and i currently have a 98%. best math teacher ever
In my entire college career, Kevin Gonzales is the best professor I've had. He truly wants every student that walks into his lecture to pass his class. Don't be afraid to go to his office hours. He will take as much time as he can to help you in any part of the class and will do his best to help you pass the class. He is literally the GOAT.
Best math teacher I have ever had. I enjoyed going to his class everyday, and he really made things easy to understand.
Professor Gonzales was a great lecturer and made calc 2 bearable. There are only 2 lectures a week, so in order to do well, you HAVE to go to recitation, not only for attendance/quiz points, but also for additional exposure to the material.
Kevin is one of the best professors Ive ever had. I took him because one of my friends had him for calc 1 and loved him. He really is the dream-passionate about what he does, professional, nice, and knowledgeable. Calc 2 was one of the hardest classes Ive taken and Im sure if I didnt have him, I wouldve failed. Hes an amazing prof and person.
I've had a lot of math teachers in my life, and none of them ever, ever came even close to making me understand things as well as Gonzales did. This man is a godsend, he's loud, he's passionate, and he actually gives a damn about how you're doing. He wants so badly for his students to succeed and they do because of him. Absolutely amazing teacher.
Trash at teaching beware
I always dreaded math classes. However, Dr. Gonazales was the first professor I ever had that made math understandabledare I say fun? He takes lessons step by step and understands that some students move at various pace. Go to office hours because he is the coolest dude in the world! With that said, I am considering picking up a math minor now...
Dr. Gonzales is the literal best. He cares sooo much about his students and puts so much passion into what he's teaching. His love for calculus(lol) makes it easy to pay attention and actually retain things during lectures.
honestly sometimes the "most fun teacher" is not going to be the one for you. unable to learn in his environment because he commits his time to specific people he wants to actually help and lets the rest suffer
I don't know how all of these reviews are so top notch but my experience with Kevin has been less than ideal. He honestly can not teach a dog to sit, let alone a human being calculus. Im going to take this class at a community college because of what I've gone through with him
Best math prof ever! such a kind dude and is willing to help anyone during office hours. His lectures are actually interesting, you can tell he really cares about what he's teaching. make sure to take advantage of office hours, hell give you points back on homework and help you through whatever you are struggling with. Love him. Makes math fun
I had never actually understood math before taking this class. Dr. Gonzales has been very helpful by putting things in simple terms and allowing time outside of class to work with him. Though, his office can get a little full, it is worth it.
Anyone that gave Professor Gonzalez a bad review is tripping, if you put in a decent amount of effort you should be absolutely fine.
He's really good at dumbing down calc
Idk how Kevin is getting bad ratings. I love this guy with all my heart. If you wanna pass calc, get him as your professor. He's super loud and energetic about math and makes you want to be there. Do the homework and fill out the review sheets and you will have no problem on the test! He throws a couple hard ones in but its not unmanageable at all!
Definitely one of the best instructors I've ever had. Genuinely cares about whether you pass his class or not, and explains concepts very well. Can go pretty fast, but math is a fast paced subject. Always offers help outside of class, especially to struggling students.
I had Dr. Gonzales for Math 106(Calc 1). He was one of the best professors I ever had! He truly cares about his students
I have taken calculus for two years before this class. He made the material seem a lot easier than it was, and he is by far the best math teacher I have ever had! If you have never taken calc and have to take it, have him as your professor.
The best math teacher! Highly recommend. He is very caring and makes sure everyone understands whether it's in class or outside of class. Participation is not mandatory except on Friday classes. Material is not too hard and he teaches it so it all makes sense. Tests are over the material covered. Take him if you get the chance.
This is the first class I didn't teach myself everything. He teaches to understand the concepts and not just to memorize how to do the problems and it helps when taking the exams which were straight forward. He dumbs everything down. I practically have no attention span, but found his lectures to be interesting and didn't stare at a clock.
Although I am not a fan of calculus, Mr. Gonzales showed he cared and goes out of his way to make sure everyone who is trying has a chance.
Kevin's lectures are important to attend so don't schedule his class in the morning. His class is a bit difficult, but he's so understanding of that. Go to his office hours! He gave me so many extra opportunities because he knew my name. He's very kind and fair!
Dr. Gonzales is by far the best professor I have ever had. He is the most enthusiastic and caring teacher I have ever came across, and is always available to help outside of the classroom. I highly recommend taking him for any math class you have because it will be enjoyable and you will learn a lot!
Awesome Professor, He cares about you and how well you will do.
Kevin is probably the best instructor I have ever had in any level of schooling I have had. He truly cares for each one of his students. He even offered students who didn't have anywhere to go for Thanksgiving to join him and his family for their Thanksgiving dinner. Calculus is tough, yes, but he makes the experience so much better
I cannot express how amazing Dr Gonzales has been. He does an excellent job at explaining difficult topics in lecture and genuinely wants his students to come into his office hours if you didn't get the lesson during lecture. He is super caring and is by far my favorite teacher I have ever had even though the class was very challenging.
Very caring about his students and explains things clearly.
Calc 2 is the hardest math class I have ever taken. But Professor Gonzales does everything he can to ensure that his students understand the material. He is always encouraging us to go to his office hours for help and is very accommodating if you fall behind in class and didn't get to finish your homework (don't take advantage of this though).
I have had Kevin for both calc I and calc II. I love him. He clearly wants the best for each student and their learning. He is so welcoming and easy to talk to outside of class if you need help. (He invites you to his family thanksgiving). I am in the hardest calc class and online (because of covid-19) and I will end with an A+! 10/10 recommend.
Kevin is an amazing lecturer and person. His class if very engaging and he does the most to make sure students understand all the tough material. He is more than willing to meet with students outside of class to help them with not only class material, but anything you might need. Kevin is definitely one of my favorite professors.
This is the second time I have had Dr. Gonzales as a teacher and he did not disappoint. He always does what is best for his students, and is readily available to help outside of the classroom. No matter the circumstances, he made the material very understandable and in my opinion is one of the best professors at the university.
Great professor and person. Offered help during the pandemic and Easter. Dumbs down the material and explains it clearly. Goes over everything needed for hw/test in lecture and notes. Doesn't make you read the book. He's the only professor that does group quizzes for Calc 2 .
One of the best math professors I have ever had. This guy really cares about his students and teaching. If you don't show up to class, you won't pass
You could tell that he cared about his students and wants you to do well in his classes.
Professor Gonzales is by far one of the best math teachers/professors I have ever had. He makes the material easy to comprehend and is always available if you have questions or are struggling with concepts. If you are taking MATH 104, take it with Professor Gonzales!! I have never been someone who is good at math and I got an A+ in this class!
I absolutely loved having Dr. Gonzales as my professor for Math 104 this semester. He was always helpful with the feedback he gave, and answered quickly to emails regarding the course work. You could tell he truly cares about his students and is passionate about his work. 10/10 recommend!
He is very good about explaining in the lectures and answers questions throughout as well.
Professor Gonzales is awesome. He genuinely cares about teaching and helping students understand concepts. He is very personable and easy to talk to.
He is easily the best math professor I've ever had. He's a genuinely good person who wants everyone to do well, and his lectures are really easy to understand even for Calc II.
Professor Gonzales was the best math teacher I think I have ever had. He is super excited and passionate about teaching and genuinely wants every student to do their best. He was patient and always came to class with a positive attitude that made students excited to learn. I highly recommend him as your math teacher. You won't get better.
Kevin Gonzales is a good professor! He is passionate of what he does and wants to help you succeed. If you go to class, ask for help, do the homework, and do the practice exams you should be great. One instance, I submitted the wrong questions on an exam and he let me submit the correct questions.
Dr. Gonzales is great! Super nice guy and always comes to class with a smile. If you are someone who needs to knock Calc II out of the way, this is the class to take! The hw quizzes are exactly like the Tests. Gonzales helps you on the hw and has bonus classes and office hours almost every day. It is a very interesting class as well!
He is a great professor. Truly cares about his students learning the content. Do as many attempts on the E&P's as you can, save them all to your laptop and then you should not have any trouble with any of the exams. He made Calc 2 a really easy course when it is infamous among students as being extremely difficult.
Dr. Gonzales was so amazing! I had him for Calculus 1, and he was just great. I had previously taken calculus, and I was so lost, but I completely understood it in Kevin's class. His lectures are very clear and concise, and he makes sure to see if his students understand everything (including basic algebra) before moving on. Deeply cares.
I loved taking Dr. Gonzales' class. I had him previously for calculus 1, and took cal 2 with him. It was a little harder (more material, little time), but he did a great job. There is a homework and E&P (quiz) after every class, but as long as you complete them for full points, you'll do amazing. There's only three tests and a final, so just study.
Dr. Gonzales is the best teacher I have ever had. He truly cares about his students and wants you to learn. Answers his email quick, and is willing to meet one on one to help you. His lectures are easy to understand even if youre not great at math. I struggled in Algebra and this class has been a breeze. I would take his class over and over.
Best teacher at UNL. His class isnt easy, but he makes it as easy as calculus can be. He really wants everyone to pass and he will do anything to help his students pass. Most caring college professor ever!! Take him over any other math teacher trust me
Dr. Gonzales was one of my favorite professors at UNL he really cares about his students getting good grades and understanding the material. 10/10 take him instead of anyone else! Homework due every MWF but it is good practice and he is always willing to help by email if you can't get a question figured out!
Great for calc 1
Professor Gonzales is the best teacher I have ever had in a math class. A lot of other math classes I have taken in the past I ended up teaching myself the material before the test, but in this class with Professor Gonzales I really understood what we were learning in the class, his lectures are amazing!
Never even really showed up to lecture but the few times I did it was because I was confused about a topic in Calc 1 (I took AP Calc already so I knew most of this stuff). Went to lecture and within 15 minutes had a solid understand of what I was doing. This professor is a literal God at teaching, if you can, TAKE THIS PROFESSOR.
10/10 loved kevin. I'd never taken calc before and was a little anxious going into it, but he did such a great job. It's clear that he really wants his students to succeed and went out of his way to provide many many great resources for students. If choosing between profs, highly recommend taking a class with Kevin.
Calculus can be a very difficult class, but if you are willing to ask for hep and use resources available to you, you will be just fine. Kevin is a great professor and a great person. Utilize his office hours! It would be hard to say that there is another professor better than him honestly. You learn a lot, and he's a great guy all around.
Best teacher I have ever had, hands down. I hated calculus before because of a bad professor and Kevin made me love it. As long as you go to his lecture, pay attention, and take notes, you should pass with ease.
Kevin is an amazing professor. He genuinely cares about all of his students and wants them to do well. Showing up to class is key to doing well in this course. Although the material could be difficult and challenging sometimes, Kevin was always there for me when I need any form of help. Ask and you shall receive. Best professor and a great person!
By far the best professor I've ever had. He goes through a ton of examples during lectures and even does problems students have been struggling with on homework. The way that he does problems makes it easy to understand, probably because he's dyslexic. It was very easy to stay engaged. If you're taking calculus, make sure to have him.
Dr. Gonzales is amazing. I took Math 104 with a different professor who didn't teach anything, when I switched to him it was like a completely different class. He understands that most people don't like math and tries to teach in a way that is very engaging. He makes sure everyone is included and is available after class everyday for questions.
My favorite professor ever! As someone who stuggles with math and used to receive tutoring, I've never understood math this well. His teaching methods are truly phenomenal! He geniunely wants to help his students. Give this man a raise!
Best prof ever
Professor gonzalez is by far the best professor i've had at UNL. Not only is he an amazing teacher, but he genuinely cares about the wellbeing of his students. HIGHLY recommend taking a class of his!
Dr. Kevin Gonzales is the best if you are needing/willing to take a math class. He teaches in a way that makes you understand the material pretty well! He always provides extra credit and willing to work with you one on one if you really need to. He is a nice guy and you can really see that he truly cares about his students and their success!!
One of the best math teaches I've ever had. He provides a perfect explanation for topics and is willing to help anyone. He provides lots of extra credit and his lectures are extremely useful.
Kevin is one of the best professors Ive ever had! If you suck at math, you want him as your teacher!!! I averaged a D on my exams and still passed the class. Just make sure to pass the CRA and gateway, and do good on the homeworks!
I cannot express how much I love this professor! He makes complex topics more simple and genuinely cares about his students. I had him for 106, but if I were ever confused about topics from 107, he would meet with me and help, even though he wasn't teaching 107 this spring. If you have to take a Math class, GET KEVIN!!
I am not strong in math, however, Prof. Gonzales made it easier to understand. His lectures are easy to follow and the attendance questions are helpful. Make sure to go to office hours if you don't understand. He may seem unapproachable in class, but he is super nice outside of it. Finished with a lower grade, but I wouldn't have passed without him
I don't have him as my math professor unfortunately, but I still get help from him. He has office hours almost every day of the week and is the best math professor. I am so grateful for him and he is an excellent teacher. I have nothing but great things to say about him.
Kevin was very helpful in teaching calculus in a very clear way.
Kevin is an angel sent down from heaven, cherish him if you have him.
Kevins an absolute g. Dude is far and away the best teacher I've ever had. Has the best lectures hands down and is super reachable outside of class. Dude absolutely loves what he does and really teaches with a passion. He's everything you want in a college professor. HIGHLY recommend.
He cares about his students and is always willing to help. He will drop two homework grades at the end of the semester. Makes the lessons very clear and easy to understand. Best math professor by far. Easier than high school.
Mr. Gonzales is a very good teacher of math concepts and can make class interesting when calc is clearly no fun. The class is fast-paced and requires a good amount of time outside of class with the homework and understanding your own. The office hours are really helpful. A good thing would be to pass the gateway and the CRA. Test heavy course.
Really great professor. You can tell who put in minimum to no effort and expected maximum results in the negative reviews because as long as you pay attention in class and put some time towards hw, you should understand material. If not, he is great about explaining more but it really helps to do your part. Great review material, take advantage!
Had some personal things come up in our family and he was incredible in giving me time to catch up and helping however he could. Best professor I have ever had.
Kevin was my favorite professor of the semester, as he explains everything very easily and has lots of office hours for questions or for redoing homework to improve your grade. He is very interactive and always walks around the class to make sure everyone is understanding the material and gives lots of extra credit. Tests are extremely easy too!!
If you have the opportunity to take a class with Kevin, DO IT! He is one of the best professors I ever had. He genuinely cares about his students, and he actually wants to see you succeed. If you are someone who struggles with math, he is really worth reaching out to during the course. The tests were clear, and there were no "gotcha" questions!
Dr. Kevin Gonzales was the best math teacher that I have ever had! He is engaging and makes sure students understand the material. He offers plenty of examples and is always patient. He has a lot of office hours to go and prepares his students for exams to make them seem easy!
He was so nice and an amazing professor in general. He cared about his students as people and was interested in their lives outside of class. Not only did he try and make the content as easy to understand as possible, but he also made the expectations very clear and his office hours as accessible as possible.
I loved Dr. Gonzales! He was there for me whenever I needed help with the material, and was very understanding/accommodating when I wasn't on campus the week of an exam. Looking back as an upperclassman, still one the best professors I've ever had. If you can take one of his classes, do it!!
He is an incredible teacher. He is patient, explains everything, and doesn't make you feel dumb when you ask a question. I took Math 104 with another teacher last semester and failed it, but with him, I am on track to getting an A. He gives plenty of examples and makes the tests seem easy. Highly recommend.
Honestly one of the best professors I've ever had. He really cares about each student and wants them to succeed in the course. He is very easy to contact and his office hours are very useful, and he explains things differently if he needs to, instead of repeating the same thing over again, which is really helpful. Give this man a raise!!!
He is always willing to solve your doubts during office hours! He explains every problem very clearly, and uploads videos to study after or before class.
HE IS AWESOME! Genuinely cares about his students and will go out of his way to help you pass this class. He also teaches it in a way that helps with dyslexia, so the concepts are really well-explained and you understand what's happening in this class. 10/10 would take again.
Dr. Gonzales is truly one of the best math professors I've ever had. He's super accessible and encouraging. Be ready to put in a lot of time and work, but he's there to help whenever you need it.
I absolutely love Kevin so much, he is so sweet and obviously loves what he teaches. He is happy to help anyone who needs outside of class. I met with him all the time and he explained everything perfectly. He makes a hard class easier. He explains everything great in class as well. He's a great teacher and person.
Dr. Gonzales is such a respectable professor. You can clearly tell he loves what he does and genuinely wants to help students succeed. He is very easy to converse with, and very helpful with questions and criticism from students. Lectures were fun to attend, even though I hate math with everything in me. Truly a great professor.
Never in my 18 years of education have I had a math instructor this amazing as Kevin! As someone who hated math, Kevin made 104 so easy as he was very engaged with the class and his teaching style makes you love math! I would recommend anyone who is looking for a good calc professor to take it with him!
Dr. Gonzales actually cares about his student's success offering many office hours throughout the week. A very motivational individual who believes everyone can succeed even when they're struggling. I started the semester getting a 48% on the first exam and then got a 96, and 97 on the following two.
Dr. Gonzales is such a kind person. Genuinely caring, one of the few teachers I've really felt comfortable approaching outside of class.
Kevin is amazing!! Kevin was available to meet during office hours to assist with assignments or review exams and always provided great feedback. Students always come for help, so don't be afraid to go! If I had to miss class, he also allowed me to make up some of the work if I emailed him as well!(Coming from someone who failed twice & hates math)
Love the way this man teaches. Absolutely would take his class again. If you get him as a professor, you're almost guaranteed to pass.
He is one of the greatest math teachers in the world. If you are struggling with math he is the one who will make the math class very easy for you.
He is one of the best professors ever! Makes class really easy and provides a ton of extra help if you need. His study materials for exams are so helpful. He is always helpful during office hours and is easy to access through email. He is just in general really helpful and actually wants his students to pass his class
the rumors are true... this man is a legend. he subbed for my class today and I learned more in one class than I have all year. If you can take his section! He's super helpful and makes sure you learn the material.
He's absolutely fantastic, hands down could be the best professor at UNL. Someone who actually cares to see you succeed, his class is easy if you do the homework. Not exam heavy whatsoever.
Amazing professor. I wish I had him for every math class for the rest of my life! He uses very simple language to explain difficult concepts which helps you process it a lot better.
Wanted everyone in his class to pass, and it showed. Great lectures and amazing at explaining calculus to people who may have no experience with it going into college.
Kevin is the best, he tries his hardest to make sure you understand the material. He is very helpful during exams too because he at least tries to answer your questions.
Kevin is a great professor! He makes a difficult subject understandable and always has a positive energy in class. He is always willing to help and is defintely the best professor to take math 104 with.
TOP TIER Professor. Kevin so genuinely cared about each of his students and your success in his class. He is so passionate about calculus so he would sometimes get carried away and speed through an example. Without fail though he would realize and always backtrack and reexplain it. Overall, an amazing guy as a person and teacher.
Professor Gonzales is an amazing professor and a great teacher. He makes an effort to understand and respect his students, and that comes through in his excellent teaching/lectures and in his explanations of concepts and examples. He is patient and does his absolute best to make time for students. 100/10 professor, highly recommended.
Mr. Gonzales was a great professor. I had to miss a couple of classes and all I had to do was ask him for a video of that day's lecture. He was very helpful and understanding. He also made the class better by his attitude he was always in a good mood.
Kevin is the greatest teacher I have ever had. He mad calc easy and approachable. I had no previous calculus knowledge and I managed to get an A+. He is an amazing professor and an even better person. THIS MAN hosts a thanksgiving meal for students without a place to go every year.
I think this professor is very nice. His lectures keep me wanting to listen and he teaches in a very entertaining way. I will say that if you don't go to class, you will be completely lost. Also, while this has more to do with the course and not the professor, the last couple months were extremely hard and I will admit I got very lost.
He was so caring in making sure students passed his class and did a good job on the test. He would also reach out to acknowledge he saw how hard we tried on test and congratulated us for good test score.
Dr. Gonzales is the best math professor UNL has! He really cares, doesn't use a projector (which literally saved my grade), he makes us work with others and encourages us to ask questions. He responds to emails really quickly and is really great communicator especially on raising your grades and like test/homework review.
Kevin is an awesome professor. I was scared to take math before, but the way he teaches made the course easy to understand and apply on tests and hw. I'm going into the final with a 99%. His attendance points were nice because showing up everyday amounts to one full test grade, with random extra points thrown in. He really cares for his students.
Kevin Gonzales is the goat. Literally the best professor at UNL and actually cares about his students. His teaching strategy is very helpful, he goes through each problem with the class and goes to each table asking if they understand. If you struggle with math, he is the teacher for you. Someone give this man a raise!
Kevin is a great professor. He cares about his job and it shows in the way that he teaches. He knows this is last math class you need to take, and he teaches in a way that will help you pass. If you have the option to take this class with Gonzales, do it.
Couldn't have been any better of a professor
The best professor I have had!
Professor Gonzales makes the course engaging with his passionate teaching style. Attending class is a must, but using Unstuck AI and the free textbook can make study time more efficient.
GO TO OFFICE HOURS!!
kevin G is the goat
I AM OBSESSED WITH HIM
Professor Gonzales is probably one of the nicest guy you will meet on campus. His lectures are very easy to understand and made the class a lot easier. He is always encouraging you to come to his office hours so he can help students do better. He wants everyone to do well. You do need to buy the textbook for this class as you use it in recitation.
Best professor ever you would be lucky to have him
Dr Gonzalez really cares that his students learn the material and will go above and beyond to get them there.
Fantastic professor.
Kevin Gonzalez, or as I call him -KG, is the absolute best professor I will probably ever have, and I HATE math. I took his mini session 191 course prior to taking Calc and it was the best decision for my grade, and the best opportunity to connect with Kevin 1 on 1, prior to starting the course. He's funny, caring, and wants you to pass this class.
I am a senior now, and he is the best professor I've ever had in my entire college experience. He is so willing to help and cares about each of his students.
Kevin is a very knowledgeable professor who clearly understand what he is talking about. He makes calculus a little bit easier for me. He always ensures that everybody gets the help they need in order to exceed. If you get Kevin your lucky!
He's the best professor I have had in my collage experience, I would suggest him for Math 106! He is always willing to help his students if they feel like they don't understand the topics but overall he's the best!
Rumors are true. This was my 2nd time taking 104, but 1st with Kevin. Offers a ton of extra credit, & he's also the best explainer of math I have been around. Calc is still tough so you still have to put in the work, but he's by far the best professor for it. If UNL were to create a Mount Rushmore of professors, he would be one of them. #GOAT
One of the best professors I've had at UNL. He explains things well and cares that his students can be successful in class. He is very understanding and is always willing to help you.
He is awesome and helping.
the best teacher i've ever had. he truly cares for all of his students and wants them to succeed. his explanations on certain topics help so much.
he's a great professor! Everything is explained very well, get two attempts on each online portion of exam. Posts review videos on how to solve every question on online and written exams. 2 homework assignments a week which is very do able.
an absolute G -If you can, take his class. You can tell he really cares about his students and wants you to succeed. He's always there if you need help and never makes you feel stupid. He's genuinely a great professor.
He's amazing and always willing to help! Def would take again.
Kevin is the goat. He in a really good teacher and makes material easily understandable. He genuinely wants every student to succeed, if you put the effort in you can do well.
