very cool teacher. She is so easy to pay attention to because she is so energetic. She actually likes all input from students and lets every student get their opinion out. She is the best teacher that I have had so far.
pretty cool teacher, young, seems to like her subject. can't think of too much bad to say about her .
i like her. i think that is the only class i don't fall asleep in.
i think that she is a great teacher. She is very clear with what she is talking about, and sends you all the right information. She does a great job, very cool.
She is the best teacher I have had so far...she is very clear in her lectures and loves her job which makes you love the class! It's the only class that I'm not looking at my watch wondering if it is ever going to end!!!!!!!!!!
she is AWESOME!!! she is so easy and you learn so much from her! i would definitely recommend her.
Great teacher, very good looking. Not a hard or easy grader, right in the middle. Assingments really help you in this class. Do them all and the two projects and you'll do fine.
She really is a great teacher. She LOVES teaching and you can definitely tell. Her class was never ever boring! She is great wtih her students and I would recommend you take her!
A very good teacher. She is a fair grader. Very helpful and willing to help. Do all papers. I would recommend her for any Soc. class.
great instructor! do the work and your grade will show. interesting lectures, interacts with students and makes class a comfy enviorment
Awsome class and awsome teacher. She is very helpful. The class is fairly easy as long as to turn the two papers on time. You have 2 5 minute class presentations which is really fun. U dont have to take the final if u r doing good in the class. Very well organized. U will elove the class.
Very easy teacher. I did not study for tests and did well. Had a few papers that are easy. If you have a good grade, then you do not have to take the final. Final is not comprehensive.
She is a great teacher! I've taken her for both soc 32 and soc 1A both classes are great! she's easy and helpful i totally recommend taking her for any sociology class! tests are easy and lectures are interesting!
Nancy is a great teacher! She always tries to incorporate the students in her lecture so we could comprehend the stuff she is lecturing about. the class was fun to attend. tests required a little bit of studying but u didnt have to hardcore study to get a good grade. overall, i reccommend her to everyone!
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. Attendance is a must.
She is such a great teacher, she explains situations from so many different points of view, and is very clear in explenations. She is funny and yet professional. I would definatly recommend her.
Nancy is a really awesome teacher! She knows what she's talking about and like the class to interact. She looks like she enjoys teaching which makes it easy to learn and appreciate the work. Best ever!
She is a very good teacher if you are interested in the Social Work field I have learned a lot from her. This is a class where she talks about children and whats right and wrong very good for parents as well because this class will teach you how to be a better parent. I would highly recommend her class
Great teacher, she loves her job and i would definitely reccomend this teacher. i look foward to this class and it is never boring, she uses a lot of examples which really helps. she puts energy into her lectures.
Mrs. g is a great teacher. I had her for soc 1a. Got an A in the class.She is very helpfull and makes class time fun.You have a chance to voice opinions and hear her down to earth examples. Very easy to understand and if you don't, then swing by her office. She is willing to help and she knows her stuff. 4 papers, lowest one drops.Do flash cards
Really good professor, knows her stuff! She is definitely passionate about the subject. If you study it is an easy A. You don't have to take the final if your happy with your grade. There are writing assignment but you drops the lowest one. She will help you out any way she can! Take her!
She is a great teacher. She is tough but very kind and understanding. She turns every class into a discussion and values all opinions. I would recommend her to anyone both sociology majors and anyone needing to fill up their schedule. I enjoyed going to class everyday.
she is great and understanding i wish i had her for all my classes!
Good teacher. Makes sure you know she's of Hispanic origin.
This class felt far too easy to be a college course. The teacher is nice and has some good insights about parenting but if you're actually looking to learn something new or want to challenge yourself, I would not recommend it.
Fantastic teacher. Passionate about teaching which makes classes very fun, does not use blackboard and expects you to use the textbook. If you show up to class and study your notes religiously, you will pass easily. Would recommend to anyone needing Soc.
Awesome class and easy the only thing that hurt me were exams but my fault. Notes on exam but should keep up with book.
She is a great teacher. She is very understanding. She could be tough but I think that's what make her class great. She is laid back but not to the point where she would allow you to slack off. I would have done better if I was a good test taker. I would recommend her for good test take, you wouldn't need to attend class but it'll really help.
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.
Easy class. Very repetitive. Ms. G makes herself very available to help or answer questions. Ms. G is not very nice, she's very quick to chastise you like a child at anytime. Seen MANY students in my class yelled at and embarassed for silly things. I myself, an A student with good attendance, was yelled at for holding my phone on the way out.
Mrs. G is AMAZING!!! She makes the subject very interesting and lots of class discussion! TAKE THIS CLASS!
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.
Mixed feelings. Her lectures, homework, and class participation are a breeze. Although, her tests are over complicated. She takes her class very seriously, often treating students like children. If you like to use the bathroom during class or come in late or leave early do not take this class; she will make an example of you.
Couldnt agree more with previous comment. Mixed feelings. Very oganised, you will always know what to expect which helps you do well. very thorough and helpful, but you will feel humiliated if you get up to leave class. You would not think she was teaching adults.
Good, funny teacher. Laid back, but will quickly call out any talking or packing up early. Class is really easy, but what do you expect from a SOC1A class? Her lectures cover almost everything you're tested on... I'm sure you could get by with minimal to no book use. Attendance is mandatory, with a few absences permitted.
My favorite teacher so far! Miss G makes class notes interesting through lecture, attendance is mandatory but i don't mind because i like her class. This is my second semester with her and the only thing i advise is do not use your phone in class! you will be asked to leave. Her class is easy as long as you show up, pay attention, and take notes.
I've had Ms G for two semesters, I took her Soc 1A class in the fall and it was a breeze. The notes you take in class are exactly what you'll see on the test. Don't really need the book everything is in the notes. DON'T TRY TEXTING! Great class discussions. She's a great teacher
Great teacher! She makes class really interesting and keeps your attention. Hates phones and side talking so just stay involved in the class. Tests were a little hard, just read the book. There was a medium amount of work but never too hard. Learned a lot!
She's an amazingly young great teacher.
Hands down one of the best teachers I have ever had. I have taken two classes with Mrs.G,she is a little strict but in a good way because I took so much from it and applied it to all of my classes. She is passionate about her job and loves her students. She makes understanding the course easy and engaging. She's young and very knowledgeable.
Nancy was such a pleasant teacher. I loved how she used her own personal experiences as subject matter examples in class. She made class interesting and is available to offer clarification. I highly recommend her. She's the type of instructor who would be happy to help those in need of extra help, wish all teachers were as awesome as she was.
Ms. G was probably one of the best professors I've had so far! Her lectures are all from the book. And she also uses her own experiences which makes class more fun. Even though it was my first year, she really made me enjoy class. She is strict in a good way but it'll benefit you in the end! Highly recommend her!
She is an amazing teacher, really clear in what she is teaching. I would highly recommend you to take her. She is just great.
Miss G is the best, she actually makes me want to study versus forcing myself to study for other classes. She is very good at explaining complicated subjects and she values her students opinion.
Lots of stories that explain the material. Always enjoyed class!!
This class is amazing. Ms. G gives really good lectures, and time passes by fast. She takes away the lowest writing assignment and the lowest exam. The exams are easy if you study. Because I did really good on all my exams, I didn't have to take the final. Participation counts and helps your grade. I got an A in that class. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!
She's great, she loves putting her real life situations during her lessons; which makes it great because you understand more and you get to know more about her. She's amazing. She gives pop quizzes that are open note, so always have your notes and come to class because she never tells you when the quizzes are. The book is useful for test (reading).
Absolutely love her! High energy! She makes me excited to have kids and a family one day because she always gives real life examples in lecture. Absolutely would take her again!!
This teacher is awesome!!!! Her class was so interesting and she's pretty funny too. I defiantly recommend her. Class was pretty easy. READ THE BOOK!
Mrs. G is an amazing instructor! I loved her class and never thought she would make an impact on me. She is such an understand person and is easy to get along with. I would recommend her class! Just read your book before taking her quizzes. Sad that she won't be my teacher but I loved her class! Highly recommend her!
She is a great teacher but she talks ALOT. Ive been in honors classes since elementary school and perhaps thats why im not a big fan of her but she is easy and you would have to truly be an idiot to not pass her class. Just be prepared for ALOT of talking and make sure to read the chapters. You will regret it if you dont.
Nancy is a great sociology teacher. Tests are fairly easy if you put in the time to study your in-class notes. READ THE BOOK if you want an A in the class. Many examples come from the book that are on the test and 80% of the rest are your in-classs notes. If you like allot of examples in lecture she is the right teacher for you. Can't go wrong!
I won't sugar-coat it, she is awful! Awful I can handle, unfair I cannot and she is unfair. I was 5 minutes late the last week of class, she didn't accept my paper. She doesn't care about your life, she cares about her unreasonable rules. You could be hit by a car, she doesn't care. She's designed her class rules to set you up to fail, tests unfair
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!
She's a very smart dedicated to her subject professor and you should be ready to be a dedicated student. Don't be lazy and you'll do great! As a bonus she's a very attractive woman, I found it hard to concentrate at times.
she is very nice. very understanding. very straight forward. class isnt too hard. she is very down to earth and funny when appropriate to the class. great teacher overall and makes going to school enjoyable
She made soc not only interesting to learn but she made it comprehensible. Her class was not hard to pass. I never studied for her tests but somehow never got a lower grade than one C. She drops your lowest test grade and lowest essay grade. Helped tremendously. We were always laughing and learning in her class which makes the time go by easier.
She gives you 4 writing exams and 4 exams. Lowest score in your paper will get dropped, she doesn't believe in "finals" so she calls it exam #4. Her exams are 25 multiple choice, 15 true or false, if false you write why and 5 fill in the blank. Loved her class, would take again but just needed for my general aid.
Super nice and easy to pass. Doesn't let you use phones, not a big deal. The class was a little boring at times but she definitely trys to make it as interesting as possible. STUDY NOTES BEFORE TEST. Not a ton of work, and what is assigned isn't difficult. Highly recommend her class.
She is a great teacher. You have 4 exams and 4 papers and she drops your lowest score on both(includes final). Final is not cumulative and she gives a studyguide for each test. Take nots on lecture because you can use them on pop quizzes. As long as you come to class and do the work its a easy A.
Very good professor!
Mrs. Gutierrez is one of the best teachers I have ever encountered at the school. She is the one that Open my opinion on sociology and because of that I am a sociology major. She is downright amazing. As long as you pay attention and you are respectful to her and the students in the class you are guaranteed to pass.
Easy if you attend class and pay attention
Really made class lectures interesting & engaging just by reflecting back to real life experiences of hers. Shes really helpful too & helps give feedback on papers if needed
If you go to class you can make an A easily.
Her class is very interesting. She relates a lot of the criteria to her own life to the make it easier for us to relate. I did not use the book at all even though you're suppose to be reading the chapters. She is very clear how she likes things and is always willing to help you.
Nancy is an incredible professor that really dives deep into her lectures so her students can truly understand sociology. I come to her for guidance and just for general conversations because she has a genuinely kind and caring approach. At first, when you read her syllabus you'll want to drop but don't! She is a really easy professor and grader.
She is a great teacher and she loves what she teaches,lectures are never boring. Lets you use your notes for quizzes. Lets you drop 1 test and 1 essay if you maintain a good grade no need for final. You wont regret her class.
Probably one of the best teachers Ive had. Her lectures are really funny and understanding. shell make sure you understand whatever shes teaching by using everyday examples shes good on replying back to her emails & during her office hours shell really help you if you dont know something in her class. She really cares about her students
Coming into this class get ready to have lots of discussions but you will always leave learning about new things.
I took her class during the fall of 2020, my friend recently told me about this website. So now I'm taking my opportunity to rate Mrs.G. Her class was by far the worst class I've had, she gets a 0 rating. Lectures are long, quizzes and exams are literally confusing, tricky, they're made to overwhelm and stress you. No makeup on assignments. RUN!
We had a total of 5 essays, 9 quizzes and 4 exams. Her DBs were the easiest, she just doesn't allow you to "edit". Just be aware of her EXAMS they are HARD and annoying. Doesn't allow late assignments so be on top of everything. Good luck if you choose to take her class she's a tough cookie, not in a good way.
I took her class fall of 2019 and she's an amazing professor. She's clear on her criteria for the class, attendance is mandatory and she does not accept late assignments. I did all the essays and quizzes and ended the class with an A. I would recommend her as a teacher, her lectures were also really insightful and actually interesting.
I took this class during covid and at first I attempted to skip the video lectures and cheat, that didn't workout since the questions are tailored to the lecture. That being said the quiz follow the lectures slides to a T and involve 3 questions while exams are about 50 give or take. Don't cheat and the class will be an easy A. Would take again.
A solid class, but if you don't watch the lectures then it will be very hard to pass the test which account for a large portion of your grade.
This was an interesting class. As long as you watch the lecture and read the chapter you'll be fine. Also, I want to note that I took her class 100% online. Would recommend.
Professor Sauceda was one of my favorite professor during my time at Fresno City College!! The material was always very interesting and accessible, and her lectures made it even more so. She is also very caring and does a lot for her students. Would 100% recommend!
She is the nicest professor I've had. Her lectures are so easy to understand and she gives good examples which helped me understand the material so much. Her quizzes are based off the lectures so as long as you take notes you'll be good.
Mrs. G is one of the best professors ever. She never gave out any homework and made her lectures fun. She even memorizes everyones names and is very inclusive. She super sweet too, just don't have your phone out. I really enjoyed having her this semester. Also, her tests aren't too hard as long as you study for at LEAST an hour or so.
Mrs. G was an incredible teacher. I dealt with a lot and missed school, and she reached out to me & helped me. Her lectures are amazing, and she allows any opinion & will educate you. I understood everything clearly. Thank you Mrs. G.
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.
attendance is half the battle in this class, the lectures are never lectures but conversations within the whole class, i love her teaching style and her fairness
lecture-heavy, class participation is important with interesting topics. I would recommend it as an elective for social work majors
Ms.g was awesome would recommend her if your having a hard time you can talk to her and she will help you in any way she can very kind and makes the class fun and interesting !
Ms. G is an amazing professor. Her lectures are very conversational and she gives her class opportunities to express their opinions. She explains how her exams and essays will be formatted and is super understanding. She's also very accommodating to students and wants everyone to do their best.
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.
Ms. G is the best professor at Fresno City. She truly cares about all her students and about their success in her class. She guides you through the note taking process, and if you pay attention during her lectures, & study you will get a good grade in her class. She is also very sweet and makes time for all her students. You will love Ms. G.
Ms. G genuinely cares about her students, always making time to provide support, encouragement, and guidance. Her passion for teaching is evident in every lecture, and she's amazing at explaining concepts in a very engaging way. She creates a welcoming and understanding classroom environment where everyone feels heard and valued.
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.
She's a very easy teacher, all her lectures are somewhat enjoyable and she's very clear on how you can get a good grade.
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.
One of my favorite professor! no homework, 1 paper, 4 test she drops the lowest one and fill in the blank notes.Class was easy as long as you attend. There is a textbook but I never used it. She has a strick no phone policy but other than that you can tell she really cares and her student to succeed. She even bumped my grade from a 88% to a 90%!
