Professor Gonzales was typically unprepared, and disorganized in class. On the first day of instruction the way she put it was "I'm a little rusty doing these by hand because once you get past 33A you won't have to do them by hand ever again." Aside from that the Professor was often not present for crucial parts of the course including the 2nd midterm and the final. During the 2nd midterm there was actually such a miscommunication that half the testing period passed before the exam was able to be administered due to the proctor being late. I did not receive the grade expected due to her odd grading scale, and unusual test structure.

The homework was weekly and manageable, the lectures were pretty organized and easy to follow, and the professor is always eager to answer any questions throughout the lecture. The grading and assessments, however, were pretty tough because nothing except pencil and paper were allowed for midterms and the final, despite the course content being very content-heavy with definitions and formulae. I scored as I expected on the midterms but did way worse than I thought I would on the final. My final grade was a quite lower than I anticipated.
