Nowadays students tries to blame the professor when they feel the class is hard. They don't feel responsible anymore for their learning. Read the book, practice the problems, and you will do fine. I took Dr. Gonzales this Spring for Chem 1411 and he was very clear on what needs to be done. It's fast, but he explains, and helps as much as he can.

Dr. Gonzales is going to give you the real thing! He is not playing games when it comes to Chem. Passionate about the subject and will make you learn and want to stay at the CLE all week and tutoring on Saturday. Be prepared for a challenge, participating and laughing a lot in the lectures, he tries his best to be funny. Hard class but good prof!

Dr Gonzales is always easy to reach and if you miss a deadline will give you time more time, if its a valid excuse. He has scheduled synchronized lectures and records it if you miss it. Yes, the OWLs are lengthy but help prepare you for the exams. All in all, I am enjoying this class.

Dr. Gonzales is great! Exams are through lockdown browser but no camera, except the final needs the camera... We would do a lot of owls, but there's 9 attempts per question. We had one group project and it was pretty fun. He would quickly respond when I needed help! Labs are on McGraw and were not hard. We had 3 lab reports and he gave some extra.

First of all, Chem is meant to be taken F2F, unless you have a good background of Chem feel free to do it online. It was NOT easy taken as a mini-mester one bit. Professor Gonzales does have a genuine side to him at the end of the day. You have to demonstrate that you're applying yourself tho. He is by the book, but like I said he does care!

Dr. G is pretty cool and funny at times. The lectures felt rushed at times, but if you ask for help, he'll slow down and explain so you may understand the topic better. He held tutoring sessions prior to exams on his own time (weekends/ non-office hours) which truly made a difference. IF you had trouble with an experiment, he'd help out.

Never accessible outside of class and takes days to respond to emails. Never there during his office hours. His tutoring is him zooming through random practice questions without explaining. Takes an excessive amount of time to grade. Doesn't follow his own syllabus whatsoever. Save yourself the time and leave him as a last resort if you want an A.

Does Saturday tutoring and gives you points for coming in,& often gives the questions coming out on the test. If you schedule a meeting, he responds.
