Good teacher! Very enthusiastic and committed to the subject. Tests based mostly on lecture. She uses too many slides and pretty much repeats everything the book says with hardly any new input, so reading the book isn't necessary. Tests are easy if you pay attention to lecture.

I took this class for personal interest and it was decent. For me, an easy A. 4 easy short essays, exams based on lectures and book. To get an A on an exam you have to read the book. I don't read the book and get B's on exams. Lectures are "duh", repetitive, common sense. Sometimes interesting. Ms. G is very in-your-face and loud.

Mrs. G is a great teacher! She is very passionate and makes it clear that the subject matter can be dark at times (child abuse/neglect), but talks us through it. Notes are better than the book, but the book is still helpful if you're absent. Relates subject to her own family, values our stories/input as well.

I concur! She spends way too much time sweatin' the small stuff as opposed to making sure her lectures stick! She spends too much time, comparing the life-experiences of her closest friends (some friend, right?) to statistics! Very confrontational and tempermental, so honestly, find another instructor. Your bucks will be better spent elsewhere!

Professor Gutierrez has amazing lectures, they would keep me engaged throughout the class which is very good considering exams are based off what we learn in lecture. She has an amazing sense of humor and engages with students throughout lectures. She is very fair and caring, if you have the chance take her class.

Professor Gutierrez is one of the best professors at Fresno City. Her class was always fun and entertaining. I highly suggest that you take a couple of hours each day to fully prepare for the exams but other than that the class will go by super fast.

Professor G was AMAZING! You will WANT to attend class, she makes them so fun and easy to understand. She talks the whole class which makes it go by super quickly, I was amazed every single day with the new things i learned! I only got a B because i missed a few classes which made me not do so well on some tests, i 100% recommend!

I am still taking Ms. G class passing with an A. I love her class she's my favorite professor. She is strict but as long as you show up, & do the work Then she will work with you. Some advice I can give is her when studying for her exams use your notes & turn them into flash cards.

She is very understanding and caring. Her class is very easy if you attend the class and also take notes you are sure to pass. Her exams match the units you work on and also her notes are basic what going to be on the test. The notes are fill in blanks. I would definitely take her again if I could.

I absolutely loved her class! I loved to participate or just listen to her lectures, I was never bored. She loves to talk, and so do I, so it was perfect. The topics were interesting, the notes were easy to follow, and she is passionate about her career. Be polite, avoid using the bathroom frequently & don't be on your phone. 10/10 i recommend.

Super understandable, she drops an exam by the end of the semester and grades on a curve. Simple, concise lectures and quizzes include direct multiple choice questions from them. Would do it again, she tells the best stories (in relation to the topics we are learning).

I took Mrs. Nancy G's class after a 14 year hiatus. She is easy to communicate with and she constantly reminds students to swing by her office to discuss their grades. During the lecture she gives you the answers to the tests via printouts, the trick is you have to show up to class. I can tell she loves her job and is passionate to teach.

Ms. G is AMAZING! Her passion for teaching and engagement is apparent. She has an open door if you should need anything, she is a great supporter. There is no reason not to do great in her class if you do the work. The only thing is in-class Essays — there are TWO during the semester, NOT difficult, but hard if you struggle with writing.

This was the best class ever! The professor makes the lectures enjoyable, incorporates activities, and is so funny! She was always there to help, made time to schedule more meetings with her students, and provided us with direct feedback for essays and exams. The only thing that was a little difficult was figuring out what to study for Exam 1.

Such an amazing professor. You can tell she's passionate about what she teaches and it makes you feel just as passionate. We had four exams, but she drops your lowest one. Two essays, but super easy you get to use your notes for those. Participation matters! Such an easy A, makes notes fill in style, so you don't have to rush to jot things down.
