He's very good at what he does and really loves his craft. If you're willing to listen to him and have fun, you'll have no issues. He is very helpful and always supportive, and makes a friendly, casual atmosphere for the class.

Comment:

I didn't have any issues with the touching others mentioned. I really enjoyed the class and would recomened him. He expects alot from his students but if you try he is willing to help and is supportive. Also the class is very relaxed and always one I looked forward to going to. He really encourages people to try.

Comment:

I would not take his class again. To me his touchiness is creepy and unprofessional. He made me very uncomfortable. If you are a girl do not take his class.The class was OK, but that touchiness ruined it.

Mr. Gonzalez is the best teacher I've had at PCC. He doesn't grade easy by any means at all but he does make the class incredibly enjoyable with his wonderful sense of humor.

I LOVE Mr. Gonzalez. I was nervous about the touchiness, but it's not in a bad way, it didn't bother me at all. He would give me hugs and hi-five me all the time. It's in a supportive way and he only has the best intentions. Super funny guy, who wants you to succeed and improve. If you work hard, he will like you. He's super laid back and fun.

Jim is a really cool instructor! The class is fun if you like/love ceramics. As long as you show him you work hard enough you'll pass the class.

I was in this class a week before I got uncomfortable with him touching my shoulders and back. He's really hilarious and seems like a nice enough guy, but if youre a pretty girl id recommend taking a different art class to fufill your credit

Although I just started with him this year, I have to admit, I like him. He's understanding of people with disabilities and is funny and helpful. I hope I will continue to like having him as a teacher this semester.

OMGOSH!!!!! He's the BEST teacher at the entire school. He will NEVER lose his temper or seem unprofessional. At first he seems scary but HE ISNT! He's so full of love and will come in on his days off. Do more than the necessary amount of hours and show that even if you suck, you tried hard and he will honor that.

Comment:

A decent teacher. But his actions could be ethnically questionable and some would consider it "unprofessional." It is ok to be full of enthusiasm when teaching, but he needs to keep it on a "no touching,no hugging,no kissing" basis. Female students complained about him being touchy. It could cost him his job if he is not careful. Overall, he's ok.

It is an honor if you can have a profesor as awesome as Jim. He cares about his students and is very encouraging to every individual. He is very helpful and pushes you to find your greatest artistic potential. He finds importance in work ethic and attitudes presented in the studio. He is a real person and the best teacher I've had at PCC by far.
