Comment:

Do not take this professor. He is the WORST teacher I have ever had. He expects you to write papers as if you are a professional author. Every paper I wrote did not get above a 60 in his class, so I retook the class with a different professor and got 90s and above on each paper I wrote. I cant say this enough- do NOT take Cuevas.

Good as person but not as teacher. Very Very hard. If you are looking for an A, you will never get it in this class. Don't do it. In the essay i got 65 after that he gave us revision essay so i improved my essay as per his suggestions and he gave me 69, are you kidding me??? You have to be book author to receive an A in the essay. Hell NO

Comment:

I didn't have a very good experience with him. I took him online and he was not very helpful at all. No matter how many times I emailed him, he always treated me like my questions were dumb. I'm a science major, so I took this class because I was required to. I tried to get help from everyone I could think of for his assignments but it never helped

Cuevas taught me how to write a college paper. He was great with feedback, very funny, and really able to relate to the students. He gives you a chance to revise your worst paper and earn points back. Very fair grader, and really wants his students to do well. Would definitely recommend.

Cuevas was awesome! He really helped expand my writing and improved critical reading and writing. He will answer any and all questions you have and even encourages you to email whenever you have a question outside of class. He's pretty funny and nerdy too, and the essay topics are actually fun. Overall a cool class.

Comment:

Just don't. Unless you're one of his favorites. It's like you think you understand the assignment - you could even meet with him about your ideas and he'll be supportive - and then you make a low grade because you apparently didn't give him what he wanted.

The discussions are interesting. For papers ALWAYS attend his office hours, take notes in class, and read the rubric 50 times over. I went from 70s to an 98 and a comment on how much he liked my paper.

Comment:

He is definitely the best professor I have had in the English department. He is very helpful, witty, and funny. His class to me is fairly easy as long as you read the assignment and follow his models for how you answer things. He's also super easy to get along with and if you tell him something is not right he'll fix it. Take him if you can!

Comment:

If you enjoy movies in any regard, this class is for you. Mr. Cuevas is fantastically well-rounded in the world of cinema and will enlighten even the biggest movie buff. He assigned two papers with clear outlines and three exams that he reviews for beforehand. Attend lectures because much of the exam derives from what he discusses in class.

Comment:

I took his EH101 class and he is very clear and concise as to what he wants your essay to be constructed as. He is very helpful, and although his teaching can get extremely boring, it is helpful when you sit down and write your essay. My writing has improved by taking his class.

Fantastic teacher, always very willing to help out! Don't worry if your first essay has a rough grade, once you learn what he looks for specifically, then it's a breeze! Can't wait to take him for EH102 next semester! Super cool guy!

Cuevas is AWESOME!! He is so upbeat and loves to have discussions with his class. He does grade somewhat hard, but if you come to class, take notes on the material, participate in discussion, etc...then you'll be fine! Take him if possible, it'll be a favorite class!

Online Class. Read assignments and do work and you should do fine in this class. Not an "easy" A, but if you put in the time and do the assignments it is.

Comment:

NOT an easy A. Don't get me wrong, this guy is very nice, but he wants you to put ALOT of special effort into his class. That means talking to him, going to his office, going to library etc. When you write papers, your grade drops dramatically for each minute mistake (for instance a misplaced comma) so beware.

Comment:

Mr Cuevas is a decent professor. If you are looking to easily pass a literature class then take him because (assuming you read) you'll make an A with little effort. If you're an English major or someone interested in literature, then you'll be disappointed. Teaching aside, he's a really nice guy.

Comment:

Awesome guy but don't take him for UNIV 101 if you want an easy A. His tests were all essay or short answer. I had to spend a lot of time studying and didn't feel like I learned anything. If you're willing to put in the work you can easily make an A. He made the class interesting but I still felt like it was a waste of time.

Comment:

Mr. Cuevas is a nice guy, however, I did not enjoy him much as a teacher. He takes way too long to grade assignments, and never answered any of my emails. His class will challenge you, and it's a lot of work, so if you are looking for an easy A, you might want to find someone else. Again, aside from this, I cannot reiterate how nice this guy is.
