Comment:

You can tell he loves his job. He wants everyone to succeed. Yes, the workload can be much but it helps you become a better writer. He answers every question and NEVER makes you feel like you asked a dumb question. He's not the type to say "go look at the syllabus". He comes from experience and nothing beats that. I definitely recommend.

Comment:

I took this professor's ENG-50 class a total of four times; this was due to my OWN failure. I will conclude by saying that English 1A and English 1B are MUCH easier than Anguiano's English 50 class; Though it is difficult, it is the best preparation for succeeding English courses.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE HIM. He's horrible (would rate him a -5 star). I always try to be as polite as possible in my emails, but he doesn't. His replies don't even make sense. He didn't even check if it was his fault & assumed it's mine. He turns negotiation into a "debate", provides no help whatsoever, sounds arrogant, I can go on all day. AVOID HIM!!!

Comment:

I would not recommend this teacher to anyone especially if you struggle with English like me. He is a very tough grader, annotates essays but doesnt suggest things you can fix as a student. I would suggest looking for another teacher. I completed each and every assignment to my best ability but It just really wasnt no where near enough for him.

Comment:

He's arrogant and expects things to be done his way when he does not give clear instructions. When you do something wrong you will be blamed and need to redo the assignment. When you ask for help, he'll only refer you to the textbook instead of answering your questions. Took him in a 6 week class and had 6 essays + weekly hw and quizzes. Avoid!!

Comment:

One of the best English teachers I've ever had. He's funny, caring, relaxed in class and quick to email back. He's a pretty slow grader but he gives really good feedback on how to improve papers and writing skills. The class is heavy on group readings, but they provided good feedback and a close/relaxed learning environment. Highly recommend.

Great professor! I took this course in the fall of my first semester. He is kind and is willing to help you, always answers emails. There is a lot of writing so be prepared for that, but follow the prompt and you'll pass the class. Ask questions!! He will tell you what he is looking for.

Comment:

What do you expect from an English class? You're going to write several papers which are not all that bad as long as you follow the prompt and turn in everything he asks you too. Do the work, show up and try, and you should pass the class. I personally think he was rated too harshly and he should be given a chance.

OMG WORST PROFESSOR I HAVE TAKEN IN MY WHOLE COLLEGE CAREER. If I could give him a zero, I would. He did not grade none of my papers that I redid for credit. You do weekly quizzes and classwork for NOTHING, he does not even add it to your grade. He only grades papers which he is so tough on. He's mean, sarcastic and so many other things."Get OUT"

He took the time to make sure that you know what you are doing, and answered any and all questions during class and after hours. He ALWAYS answers emails in a timely fashion. Such a great help!

Professor Anguiano Is great! Funny guy and really cares about his students learning. Tons of essays but very helpful, answers emails very quickly . Every professor has their quirks and his is saying ok a lot and he repeats his side notes/ stories a ton! So be prepared for unnecessary extra info. Gives extra credit and you can redo two essays!

He grades papers very harshly. If you're looking for an easy or fun class this is definitely NOT it. He is useless when it comes to asking him for help on papers. His lectures are VERY boring and always goes off on tangents.

He grades over the top and ridiculously. I did all my essays and got decent grades and did all my work i was supposed to do and failed the class. His class is the soo boring and i cant empathize this enough, he tries so hard to act like hes funny, hes redundant, annoying and the list goes on. Save yourself the drama and dont take his class!!

He is a tough grader, but he tells you exactly what he wants. There is 4 short (2 pages or more) and 2 long papers (5 pages or more). There was reading and journals almost everyday, and you have to do all journals to receive credit. You are only allowed to miss 2 workshops and 2 classes or you will be dropped. Just do the work and you will pass.

This class is four units for a reason. But I wouldn't want any other professor. He literally taught me how to write and is a tough grader. FOLLOW HIS RULES. He gives great feedback and always tells you how to fix something or how to improve. A lot of reading but he is a very caring professor.

Comment:

Professor anguiano was one of the best Ive had for any English class. Beware that his grading is harsh but he gives you all the tools you need to help you improve. I thought my English skills were excellent but he gave me a C on my first paper. I was devastated but he tells you how to make it better and if you follow it youll do great!
