Comment:

She is mostly an easier grader, but lectures the whole class and can make it boring! The only thing I enjoyed in this class was the interesting videos, but aside from that, nothing else was interesting. She is also hard to understand with her accent.

Comment:

She is great...I have taken every class she has taught. She is really helpful and understanding especially if you go see her during office hours. She taught me so much, really made me passionate about what she was teaching. Class is really easy, not much effort needed and you come away with a lot of knowledge

Comment:

Lectures the whole class. Don't use either textbook ever. Only a midterm and a final consisting of ten vocal matching and two very simple short answer questions. Six short papers to write throughout the semester and two short presentations. Just do the assignments and you'll have an easy A

Comment:

Very difficult to understand. She is probably the least helpful teacher I have ever had at SJFC. Knowledge is only what is covered in the books. She is an easier grader, or else I would have dropped that class.

Very knowledgable. Common knowledge stuff, if you can't pass her class its because you weren't pay attention/ sleeping or you are not smart.

Great professor. Was very helpful and knowledgable when discussing global events. Even if you don't have an interest in the class you may walk away learning some useful things. I would highly recommend her.

Comment:

The worse professor I ever had. Her knowledge of the subject does not go beyond the book that is assigned. Whenever someone asked a question about the topic we were on she always says it's irrelevant. She always acted like we were bothering her. She has a bad attitude. She is extremely rude.

Comment:

The worst professor at Fisher...Not sure what they were thinking by hiring her but she should be fired! She is a TERRIBLE grader and is unable to answer questions not listed on her paper in hand. She is rude to students and even makes comments behind their back to the class. Completely unprofessional! I would never take her classes again!

Comment:

She sucks! Can't speak English and grades grammar (poorly). Another fine example of the Liberal domination of colleges. Do not disagree or make comments against what she beleives b/c she will grade you accordingly. The subjects she teaches are open to opinion but hers and hers alone. Bra burners and tree huggers will love her.

Comment:

Dr. Gonzalez-Smith made class enjoyable and tried to encourage the class to voice their opinions. She was a little hard to understand at times, but she's a great overall teacher. Classes are Short-Essay based, no tests.
