THIS TEACHER IS SUPER SMART. SHE HAS EVERYTHING IN HER HEAD!HER ASSIGNMENTS ARE VERY CLEAR AND SHE IS VERY HELPFUL AND ALWAYS HAS TIME TO MEET AFTER CLASS. THE CLASS IS NOT SUPER EASY, THE DIFICULTY IS MEDIUM. IF YOU PAY ATTENTION AND DO WHAT SHE SAY YOU WILL PASS WITH AN A! I DEFINATELY RECOMEND HER!

I took her online course and found out that I would be graded based off of eight assignments. All essay! I am dedicated and currently holds a 4.0 GPA, so I am not a slacker. You will need 100% on everything to get an A. She is late to post assignments, takes forever to answer emails and is not clear with due dates. I don't recommend her at all!!!

Submit 3 discussions--explaining your thoughts and beliefs. You take 2 tests, that are both very easy. She may be different in class, but online it is a breeze. Very easy A if you put in the work.

I took the 5-week summer class, which included 2 discussions, a 2-page essay, and 4 quizzes (20 questions). The quizzes can be found on quizlet. No need to buy the book. Super easy class

I had an incredibly frustrating experience with Professor Gomez as their student. The most glaring issue was their refusal to listen and accommodate students, even in emergencies. It was a profoundly disappointing and disheartening experience.

Very passionate and knowledgable about the subject. Highly and positively encourages participation. Not a lot of actual assignments so participation points are a must. Most of the lecture consists of class discussions. Accommodating and gives many opportunities for extra credit. Would take again!

Highly recommend. Only graded by 10 short & easy assignments, a group project, participation, & attendance. If in doubt about your grade, this professor gives LOTS of extra credit opportunities. As long as you do the work, go to class, & turn in your work on time, you should get an A. She is amazing! She always explains everything in a simple way.

Dr. Gómez is a great professor. She is always there to help us understand the course and that make the class feel super fun. Participation really matters!! Be involved in class and do your assignments and will be great. Be careful with the final project, don't be afraid of it and start it asap.

Prof. Gomez is an engaging and understanding instructor. Her lectures are interactive, and she provides plenty of extra credit opportunities. While the textbook is not essential, using Unstuck AI alongside the course materials can be a helpful study tool. Overall, this is a manageable class that's worth taking.

If you are ready to learn, you should definitely take this class with Dr Gomez. PHIL is challenging, but Dr Gomez makes the lectures more understandable since the topics are complex. She gives a lot of extra credit, so make sure you take advantage of them.

She is very understanding and is an easy class if you do all the homework and extra credit, but she does give an intense project, so if you do not like group projects, do not take her.
