Comment:

Amazing and kind professor. Explains how essays will be formatted but some interpretation is up to students. Easy grader but at times seems subjective. 4 essays + final. You have a lot of freedom on what to write about. Willing to help and read over your essay before it's due. Most reading is online in pdf form so you save money.

Comment:

Had him for fully-online EWRT 2 class. Three essays to do, first two are one a set of RadioLab podcasts, and last one was more traditional and on Frankenstein. First half of course had weekly textbook reading and quizzes. 2 weekly discussions each. Late submission penalty for essays and discussions is light. Diligently do the work to get an A.

He is a very mild professor and goes on about his lectures. He does stop to answer questions. His voice is soothing but that's a bad thing when I had this class in the morning. Observations and online discussions!

Comment:

Easy grader. There were a lot of assignments that I didn't think I did so well on but when I got them back he gives me a 90-100%. He wants you to read a chapter from the textbook that's provided online and take a quiz on it every week. Do all the reading since he wants the essays to reflect what you've read in the textbook. Do the work and get an A

Professor Limcolioc is the best English teacher I've ever met. He strives for quality, yet his grading system is very easy. If you don't understand him, you can send him an email and he would reply almost instantly! This was very helpful for his online class and I would totally recommend him for EWRT 2 or any English class!

Comment:

Professor Limcolioc's was EWRT 2 class an easy A. He graded very leniently and I learned a lot. He assigns a good amount of work, but they all take no more than 15 minutes to complete and he grades based on completion rather than quality. I would recommend his EWRT 2 class to boost your GPA and fulfill you GE requirement.

I took EWRT1a class was more than two hours long. Expect a ton of homework and online quizzes before each class. Lectures are lengthy and dull. But he is a fair grader.

Limcolioc has been one of the best English professors I've taken at De Anza. I took 1B a long time after I took 1A but because he has thorough explanations and straightforward assignments, I didn't find going back to English class intimidating at all. I definitely recommend him to anyone who has to take English for GE.

Comment:

(For EWRT1A/2: A-/B+) Assignments are pretty straight forward. Tries to understand his students and any issues to help solve them. Works with you if you put in the effort. Assigns essays back to back, but lenient with time. Gives you freedom when writing. Goal is to be able to write essays about some topic and answer why your point matters.

Very insightful professor. Gives you a lot of leeway and lets you interpret text on your own. Very easy grader. How to get an A: 1) Do ALL OF THE READINGS (don't skip any, no matter how long. your midterm will appreciate it) 2) turn in all assignments ON TIME That's it Easy grader. I thought I got a 40% on the midterm; ended up with an 87%

Professor Limcolioc really makes you appreciate the English language. He's very understanding of his students. Way to an "A" is to do the reading and try your best on the essays. My favorite English teacher. Would take the whole EWRT sequence with him.

Great teacher! Very flexible and lay back. He cares more about you expanding your perspective and becoming a better writer than the petty stuff. The reading we had was cool and is great at answering questions. I give him an A+ take him

There would always b something 2 read, do, or study for. Attendance policy was no more than 4 absences. Hes pretty helpful when u ask but sometimes he can be vague. U will participate every other day by sharing what you wrote 4 hw & theres also group presentations. Provide nice feedback on essays. Looots of work but he grades pretty leniently.

Comment:

Limcolico is a great teacher but the online class is a work load. If you do not keep up with the course material you will fall behind. There is a fair amount of reading but not too much. I enjoy his tough assignments when they can be kind of annoying. He is a awesome grader! He really does care about his class and students

I recommend Mr Limcolioc because his class feels like a book club, with amazing lectures & group discussions. The books & texts he chooses are stellar choices and he allows the freedom of choice in writing & encourages creative expression as opposed to a "cookie cutter" approach. His good vibe is thought provoking & his structure is the rhythm!

Comment:

He delivers thought-provoking lectures and is really smart. The hybrid class is a lot of work and is graded seriously. The essays are weighted heavily; he explains what he wants and leaves you to it. He lagged on the grading. Everything was entered in finals week so I had no idea what my grade looked like during the quarter or how to adjust.
