Professor Alonso is the nicest and most accommodating professor I have ever had. If I wasn't graduating I would take her again in a heartbeat. She really cares about her profession and students' input. 10/10.

GWS103 was amazing! All of the information was presented in a way that made it understandable and relevant to real life. Professor Alonso is super sweet and caring. It's important to pay attention and take notes in lecture, but the exams follow the review guide pretty closely, so as long as you're willing to put in the work, it's easy to do well.

Professor Alonso is an amazing lecturer and really made the class feel smaller than it was. Every lecture was intriguing, and discussion sections really help if you have an awesome TA. Always wanted to study because it never really felt like studying! Completely changed my outlook on life.

Awesome class! Really easy for a science requirement. The exams are super fair and as long as you go to lecture and take notes you can get easily get an A. She's super interesting and the class is pretty fun.
