No movies in our class. Wish there was. Little too much reading for my taste but writing assignments were okay. Gives good feedback.

Comment:

Professor Saenz spent most of the class showing movies even though this was supposed to be an English class. We didn't read any books, we only watched films to write about. He showed NC17 material in the classroom, which was both inappropriate and unnecessary. He's an Easy A, but I would NOT take from him again.

Professor Saenz is definitely one of the best teachers at Pierce College. He is very interesting (which is rare at Pierce), and he knows how to relate and lecture to students. He grades fair and helps you with your writing, and the topics are interesting as well. Grades are based on essays, with beginning ones worth less than the end. Great class!

Really cool teacher, took him for Intro to Science Fiction at COC. Nerdy and awesome, loves sci-fic and Batman. You'll do fine if you do the reading assignments, he gives a lot of reading quizzes on them. You can tell he's really into what he's teaching and a nerd at heart, which is what you want with a Sci-fic course. It was a lot of fun

He's super helpful. Actually very straightforward. Tells the class what he expects and provides examples. A few in-class essays, a few take home essays, weekly reading quizzes. You know, school work. Ha. He's super chill, so take him.

Comment:

Best English professor I've ever taken, bar none. You will learn in his class, he tries to get everyone involved, and will explain things to every last detail. The only way you can not pass this class is if you are a real lazy person and don't like to read at all. This isn't an easy A, it's a class that asks for your effort.

Take his class! A smart and fun teacher makes class time interesting and enjoyable. Easy to communicate with. If you put your effort and listen to what he says you'll pass. 2 research papers (5+pages) 3 in class papers and lots of reading and quizzes. Attendance a must. Best teacher at PCC so far!

He is the GREATEST professor ever. By far my most favorite professor at pcc. He makes the class enjoyable, and is friendly with his students. He is not stuck up like the rest of the English department. TRUST ME he is the best!! when he turns back your essay he writes a page worth of comments about how you can improve. TAKE HIM. HE IS AWESOME!!!!!

I actually took him at Pierce this semester, but he wasn't listed under professors there. I really enjoyed his class! He's pretty animated when he speaks and makes boring subjects interesting and amusing with dumb jokes and his overall personality. It was an easy class, and he explains everything well, too. Good teacher!

One of the best professors I have ever had. He makes every lecture interesting, and makes students feel comfortable enough to share thoughts during discussions. Extremely clear guidelines, and very interesting texts. If you are not majoring in English you might consider taking this class. As long as you follow his guidelines you will pass.

Comment:

He's chill. Very straight forward. Tells you what he's looking for. There are 3 in-class essays and 2 papers. Reading quizzes can be bad if you don't read. Prepare ahead of time for in-class essays. Easy breezy. I recommend.
