Bad Professor, cannot speak good English but teaches it. You write the paper!!
C'mooon just because the guy has an accent, doesn't mean he doesn't speak english. Matter of fact, he speaks 7 languages, waaay more that you'll ever learn. Very knowledgeable, uses different, yet very effective teaching techniques. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
Great Professor! He really cares about his students. He might ramble on a little bit, but he is a real sweetheart. He grades on improvement of writing. Take him! Awesome guy!
Great Professor; he helps you become a writer.
Great teacher. Yes, he's a little hard to understand at first. And yes, he does digress from the lesson plan a bit, but he is an overall nice teacher. His syllabus and class schedules are so well drawn out that it makes the class easy.
Doesn't speak English clearly and doesn't teach... there's really no point in showing up
great professor, he takes the time to work individually with students and really does care about them. He is easy and I would recommend him to anyone!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)(:

Very unclear with his grading policy. His lectures are so boring.
he is really good, and he cares about his students... he is very helpful... he has accent, but he is very clear... I recommend his class... he is very nice...
Best professor I've so far
Good teacher, be ready to write. If you have a problem, he will help. Interesting stories
he is a really good guy. laid back, funny, nice and fair.
very nice guy
He was so interesting. Likes discussions. And if you read the stories you'll be fine. No hard tests. He is a good guy.
Very good. Fair in his grading. Not there to make your life misserable. Be ready to write, but he'll guide you.
Too many stories, boring, not very clear
Gives the most boring stories during class. Horrible grading policy. I wrote every paper without a mistake and always ended up with a B. He never gives an A on a paper. Avoid at all costs.
Very good teacher, very fair, and cares for all his students.
Great teacher, gets a little off topic but try's to get you to be more creative and think outside the box, will definately look to take for CompII
He was a very helpful, understanding teacher. Stories get a little boring at times but overall I would definetly recommend him to anyone.
Sometime's it's difficult to understand him. He's very smart and knowledgeable of the subject. Don't show up late! I recommend him.
Outstanding,he likes to get off topic a bit but usually comes back to express a point. Very helpful, even offers assistance once you move on to another professors class for CompII, I only wish his class would have been available for comp II.
He's really really good.
Make sure you take him in a short class! I have him in one long class a week and the guy never shuts up! He gets off topic so easy! We were talking about "A Rose For Emily" and he starts babeling about feminism and his childhood...Just shoot me!
I have him in a M W class, and he's the best professor I've had at Valencia so far.
I have had two different eng 1101 teachers at Valencia. So from experience and comparison, this teacher is far more confusing, goes off topic Constantly! about himself, gives pointless "time filling" assignments, doesnt stick to the syllabus, and it doesnt end there! I REALLY dont recommend him.
I took this professor for comp 1, and I'm also taking him for Comp2 this semester. He's a very good teacher; he helped me a lot in my writing; He pushes us to write more, which frustrates lazy students, but if you want to learn and write better take him.
Having this man as a professor made me stand by the ones who say "IN ORDER TO TEACH ENGLISH YOU ACTUALLY NEED TO KNOW IT". Also he is very very very very boring!
This teacher is soooo BORING. He tells many stories about himself nothing related to the class. An if your looking for any letter grade higher than a "C" don't take him because he only gives out C's and B's NEVER A's! Very anal and hard to understand him when he talks (accent!).
He is an okay teacher, he talks alot about life experiences. The assignments are essays, everyone gets Bs, unless you are a crampy writer. You have to be a great writer to get an A. The final is open book and notes. Research paper is pretty simple,just at first is confusing. I would take him agai
Boring! Do not take him during his night classes (3 hours is just too much). He talks about himself way too much and tends to get off on tangents a lot. Let me put it this way: the first night I literally wanted to stab myself with my pen!
Very boring do not take this class. He is not a good instructor at all. Tell you one thing in class and the class will never do it. If you plan on learning and getting a good grade do not take the porfessor.
I failed Comp1 twice before taking this teacher. He helped me with my sentence structure, and I gained enough confidence to ace the exit exam. He's good for those who want to learn, but certainly doesn't like slakers--are often the complainers. Highly recommended.
I took this professor for 1101, and I'm taking him for 1102; in fact, there are many of my 1101 classmates with me. I will simply state two facts that I got to know taking him for two semesters: 1/ Number of his students who failed the exit exam the last two semesters is 0 (None) 2/ Try to t
He has good intentions, but A. He can't speak the language he teaches and B. He lies...I was having issues with illness and absences so I made a deal with him, and he withdrew me anyway despite prior arrangements! I'll never take him again! And I suggest you don't either!
He is the absolute worst teacher I think I've ever had,and he can't grade essays worth a crap, he gave me a C+ just for writing the word And at the beginning of a sentence because I was making a comment at the end of my essay!If you plan on passing english dont' take him unless you have a 4.0 GPA

Hi is a great teacher! There is a lot of reading, and there is a lot of writing. If you do what he says you will pass the exit exam.
Passed Comp1 with him. This teacher is very cool :) and helps you pass easily!! :)
Prof. B is a fairly good teacher. Classes are interesting if you like listening to stories that have nothing to do with the class. He has a thick accent, but you can still understand him. You must work extremely hard to get A's.
He is a very good teacher. He is very passionate about his job and it shows. He has MANY stories that don't relate to what he is teaching but they are funny anyways! He is pretty cool. All in all this is a pretty easy class. He assigns ALOT of readings...more than other professors!
a great professor, very understanding and caring. I'm retaking him for comp2
OMG he is the worst teacher i have ever had. He takes the whole class to talk about nothing related to learning, and then he is the worst grader when you actually have to do work that he hasn't taught you to do because he talks about meaningless stuff the whole time. HE SUCKS. DONT TAKE HIM.
He's the best professor I've had so far in this college; he made the class interesting and easy; just do the assignments and show up for class.
I'll Take him again very good teacher; the best if you want to pass Enc101,102, good luck!
I'd say it's pretty hard to make a C in this class. But it's pretty hard to make an A with him too. I give this teacher a B, man. He's not the monster people portray him to be. He's about in the middle. When he passed out papers, he even said most people got B's. The final is easy as hell, too.
Doesn't grade hard. Very helpful if you visit him during office hours. Easy final. Great teacher.
The professor is a hard grader, and is not clear at all. His class is very boring and you have to do a research paper at the end worth 40% of your grade. Somehow i got an A, but i still would not recommend you take him. He does not speak clear english,(thick accent).
The most incompetent professor I have ever taken. You kill yourself writing the papers, however he does not even give you feedback on them. You will end up with a low grade if you dont agree with his opinion.
This professor is one of the best that I took up to now; he goes out of his way to help students. I got an "A" and I give credit him for helping me IMPROVE; all my classmates enjoyed the class. Mean people suck! THANK YOU MR. B.
Very knowledgeable Professor, speaks five languages and writes very well, and in his class we got to study American and International Literature. He helped me a lot with my grammar; he even helped me edit the research paper. Very caring and will help you, take him if you want to pass.
c le meilleur du tous je voulais bien etre avec lui tout le temps ainsi que sa famille mais il a préféré ses etudiants bref on vs souhaite tous bonne chance tonton esperant ton retour le plus tot possible bisou zaynab
He was awesome!! Great teacher to take. Will be taking him for Comp2.
His spoken english is vary hard to understand.
very clear in his requirements and very helpful. If you want to improve your writing style, take him; you will discover the building blocks of the English Language; it's quite some sad to see a few lazy students that want to blame his accent for their own failure. The man speaks five languages fluently,yet reserves no energy to help his students.
Great teacher. He expects college students not high school students in his class. He grades on progress not average. I got 4 b's and 2 a's on his papers and recieved an A! He wants to see that youre trying not just sitting there. He tells funny stories and makes fun of the middle school type papers! Take him!
Okay so I had signed up for another professor for Comp2 and he had a heart attack so this dude came to substitute and ended up teaching the class. AWEFUL teacher! DONT TAKE HIM! He talks a lot in class and it is mostly a waste of time. He is also a TOUGH grader and has no mercy when grading! RUN WHILE YOU CAN...DONT TAKE HIM!!
One of the best teachers I had :) he'll explain everything, and you'll have to write papers, but he'll accept revision and grades on progress, not for slackers :o !! Take him, you'll pass easy if you just do the assignments and you'll deserve it too :) Highly recommended :)
This teacher is very boring. He is clear though and you can rewrite your papers if they suck. For the most part he is pretty easy
I took comp1 with him and i think anyone who needs to take comp will pass with him in his class
He bends over backwards to get you to pass great teacher
He tells the class to call him Prof. B with good reason. I think he must have a machine that automatically stamps the papers B B B B B B.....cuz that is all you can get.
Cool teacher, I had him for comp1 and Im taking him for comp2. very helpful and you'll pass if you decide to take him
enjoyed his class, made class easy.
Hes a very nice guy, and thinnks hes hilarious. He is very knowledgeable, and im usually horrible in english, and i got a 5 on my writting, he really makes you become a better writter.

Good teacher, expects his students to improve and if you do then you'll get a good grade
Very easy class, not too much homework, and explains everything in a way that is easy to understand.

Didnt like him at all! His class is easy but when it comes to grading paper he is very tough! Expects his students to write like scholars and he is not clear on how to improve your papers. Huge on office hours; if you visit his office enough you are almost guaranteed a good grade for sucking up! I personally did not have the time for that!
Mr. B is the nicest teacher. He's so easy, instead of making us write a paper we went for a walk in the park. He's such a nice guy and knows a lot about literature. I would take him again for another class, I know I either got an A or B!!
Easy professor, eay "A", however i didn't really learn anything. All we did was talk in class and we like NEVER had homework except for a couple papers which he grades kind of hard on. He has an accent, so at times it's hard to understand him, but overall, alright teacher. I dont know if i'd take him again though.
Before you sign up for this class, keep in mind that just because he's nice person, that doesn't make him a good professor. He's difficult to understand, chaotic and disorganized. It's an easy class but a bit boring too, so make sure to bring your pillow or MP3 player along for the ride.
I enjoyed the class and the assignments were very fair. I got all A's on my papers, except for one that he let me revise. Highly recommended
Mr. B is a pretty good guy who loves to mention who has a fixation with Oprah Winfrey. Why? I do not know. He is, however, very fair and incredibly knowledgeable. You have to write about 4 or 5 short papers and one final big paper on a topic of your choice. This final paper is very important, but he grades it somewhat easy. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
He can't speak proper English, his lectures SUCK. He is constantly going off topic about everything. The only thing English related that he talks about is the midterm exit exam. He is a not a good teacher at all.
Great teacher, will push you to work and write more. Overall very smart and helpful.highly recommended
this prof is really good.. the class is easy and he's willing to help.. he talks alot about a variety of things, but overall.. its an easy class, so hey.. go ahead and take it..
He is a nice man but because he has an accient its hard to understand him. He's willing to help and pretty easy. But sometimes he is really unclear with what he wants in your essays which threw me off big time but he gives you a chance to re-do them.
talked alot but he is a good teacher. easy class
He was easy , talked alot of personal stories , extremely easy ,just do your essays and classwork and your Good to go
very intelligent. i dont recommend taking this class one night a week because the three hours will kill you. he's a good professor but it can get boring really quickly.YOU should definatly take his class, he really helps you out and is very leanient.
The best professor yet, if you want a professor who cares this is your man. I wasn't interested before i started but when i took his class a light bulb went off in my head. Very fair , and if you take his class you will know what i mean, good luck to everyone.
This Class is SO EASY!! I STRONGLY recommend taking this class!!
easy A.there are only 3 assigments and a research paper!=]
very easy class, not alot of work. bery easy grader. you will pass the class as long as you write your papers, theres only 4 due the whole term. fun guy, very friendly and original. take it, its a good class.
Prof B is sooo nice and he really loves what he is doing. He made me love literature more. He is not a tough grader but wants to see that you understood the stories you read. He ask very little by way of papers and assignments so I would reccomend that you keep up with it all. Prof B should really get Prof of the year. He is awesome!!!
All he does is tells stories. Take this class if you don't like learning.
Best Professor Valencia has to offer; enjoyed his literature class with all the stories from colonial and modern times; Mr B made me love Literature. take his class. won't regret it.
cool if u make it seem like you need to pass. i passed and barely ever went to class
Loved his class, made the class fun. Highly recommended if you want learning to be fun
I had taken him for ENC1101 and ENC1102, best professor I've ever had for any subject. You wont learn too much in his class, but he makes it fun. Half the time you will get out early and attendance is not mandatory, although he will say it is. His stories are funny and he's just a genuinely nice guy. Easy grader No Homework other than essays, A+
Such a nice guy!! Really forgiving grader, and an all around caring professor. Take him if you want an A!
Having taken Mr. B for both of my english classes all I can say is he is awsome! Your entire grade is based on your research paper. I got a C on all my papers but a A+ on the final paper so I got an A for the class. No final which is an added bonus. Lets you turn in late work and really is concerned for his students. Keep up the good work Mr. B!
you'll love his classes..rock on!! You will really learn in his classes
The only good thing about this class is that there is not very much work. Other than that, the teacher is very annoying. His lectures are long, pointless, and in the end, are always related to racism. The professor does not explain any of the assignments and grades essays based on what he wants to hear. However, very easy A.
If you want to pass, take him!! Trust me! He'll always tell you what is due and whatnot, plus you barely get any homework if at all. If you have good grammar skills, you'll do well in his class. He doesn't teach much, and expects you to know how to write which is good if you already know how. Just show up, act like you care, and you'll get an A.
He is quite the comedian; however, you will not learn squat. He taught us about syntax, and that's just about it. I took the class to satisfy my English 4 credit for HS, but wasted my time. If you want to be in college, stay away from him; however, if you wish to take the lazy route and not learn anything, take him. Take Holliday.
I took MR B for comp 1 and comp 2. I loved his classes. You'll enjoy his class except if you expect A without any work. Just hand in the essays on time, and you'll be fine.
He is Awesome....If you want to learn or fix your mistake he will help you,But you have to want to change. Stayed after class to help. Just turn in your work and keep lines of communication open and let Mr. B. Know what it is you need.
Honestly? Amazing teacher. He's hilarious! Doesn't move on unless everyone is crystal clear on his lesson plan. Tailors his teaching to your needs.Extremely fair in grading. No large tests, mostly papers/group projects. Can be really lenient, wants everyone to pass.If you don't, somethings wrong with you. Its an easy A and you learn a lot.Take him!
Great teacher, he is honestly into making sure everyone is at the same pace and gets the concept. I took him for english comp and I got an A!!! He is also very funny which helps time fly! TAKE HIM :)
Mr. B is AWESOME! Tells stories to help you understand. Has fun ways of learning. Almost always lets you out early. Just turn in work and you will be fine. DEFINATELY TAKE THIS TEACHER!
This class is VERY VERY easy, even at the Comp 2 level. You'll learn more in Comp 1. So easy I would rather not waste me time attending anymore. The professor barely shows up himself! Turn in the papers which are only 500-750 words and your golden!
I enjoyed his comp 2 very much, just do all the writing assignments and attend classes. I recommend this class...
Prof B is the easiest teacher on campus. if you don't care about learning anything past the 8th grade writing level and want an easy 3 credits, this is the class for you. He almost never teaches, but always lectures on some random issue or another. The guy's a liberal but the class is a cinch. be warned: you will not learn ANYTHING in this class!
I enjoyed Mr. B's class.We focused on sentence structure and MLA. Great teacher... enjoyed every minute of his classes.
awesome teacher, nice,and helpful. if you have any questions he will answer them. easy class. had fun. i actually did not mind goin to his classes!
Mr B is the best! there are a total of 6 essays. There are also some random reading assignments in class that you work with a partner on then leave when you're done. He is really nice & extremely helpful that loves to tell stories. He is extremely smart & knows about EVERYTHING & would love to talk to you about your views. take him & youll love him
Mr. B is the best professor in the whole world !!! He grades very lenient on papers and tests and you only have 5 papers in the class. Going to class isn?t crucial, but why not He is really funny, he always keeps class short and sweet and pretty much anything you want could be topic of conversation in his class. Mr.B is truly passionate about Engli
This class was the biggest disappointment of my life! Many days, we would place bets as to how late he would actually be (this was the most fun I did have).Everyone in the class received an A, regardless of effort. DO NOT TAKE HIM, especially if you would like to do well in other writing courses in your college career!
Mr B is awesome. he helps everybody. I enjoyed his class very much. If your willing to work hard you'll get a good grade
Great teacher. very funny, tells alot of stories. easy grading on your essays. leave class early. recommend him for comp I to anyone!
You never have to show up,2 comment papers and 1 research paper. really lenient,he's a sweet guy If dont want to do work and have an A take him
Easy class worst thing was it was 3 days aweek mwf but friday really dont matter u can miss class just dont abuse it, he lets u email him late papers u only have 4 essays all which are easy and one research paper.
Really liked literature after taking his class---Highly recommended
loveeeeeee him!!! he is so awesome and sweeet!!! so easyyy. if you make an impression on your writing he will give you a good grade. make sure to do the paper he assigns. otherwise there really is no homework.. good teacher. good class. great teacher!
Mr. B is awesome. 4 papers. 1 research paper. Attendance isnt mandatory, but dont abuse it. If he sees you are trying he will give you a good grade. No test, no homework. Just the papers. He makes jokes a lot. Likes to say damn and hell. If you are boderline he will bump your grade up. Cool dude. Take him
He's such a great teacher. I highly recommend his class. You always pick your own topic for his papers and they are not hard. If you write the papers, you'll do well. You can miss class now and again and be okay. He tells A LOT of stories.
Mr. B is the shizz. Funniest teacher I ever had. He has a different funny story everyday. All you have to do is show up to class its an easy A.
Is the best if you want to really learn and pass.
Best teacher I had so far! No homework, test, or assignments! Just simple papers. He is really fun and lets you out early most of the time. You can tell he wants every student to succeed. You HAVE to take him!
One of the best teachers I have ever had. His papers are really easy and at your own preference. Hes very funny and makes class very interesting. I hated English till I had him!I'm taking him for English I and now im going to take him for English II
cool teacher.. knows wat he is tlkin bout and it is obvious he wants every student to pass. I 100% recommand him
Mr. B is funny and teaches really good, but there's a problem he gets of topic easily and would expect you to do the work. Would take him for Comp. 1. A more independent class.
Mr. B is a GREAT teacher and he really cares about your grade. He is not to strict on attendance, he prefers you to come on time, but he wont call you out if you dont. If you put some effort into his class you will pass. TAKE THIS CLASS, ITS NOT HARD AT ALL.
Mr. B is awesome the best teacher @ valencia you do 4 papers and a final research paper(2000wrds)@ the end the final was open book and just asked questions about the stories(easy) also no HW every and you dont really need the book cause u can read all the short stories online.
mr B is the best. very caring and youll pass the class without problems just write the papers and do the homework
Great teacher, fun projects are given with enough time. just don't give him a late paper otherwise you would not get it back on time. loves poetry and the biggest project was a research paper at the end.
Prof B.- I loved him so much, I took him a second time! He is kind, caring and oh boy, does he have a lot of stories! He is very funny and very understanding! I recommend him, if you want an easy but, fun class! 4 papers and 2000 words research in the sememester. THATS IT!
Prof. B. What a great teacher. Simply the best. I took him for ENC1101 and just took him again for ENC1102. Definitely would have taken him again if he taught any other class. He is very kind caring and understanding. Yes, the work is fairly easy but you do learn. If you need English credits, he is the teacher to take.
Very very easy class. Professor B. is a lot of fun. Loves to tell stories. Let us go early almost every day. NO HOMEWORK!! 4 papers and 1 Grammar test he lets you take twice. He will stay after to help if you need it. Easy A, I def. recommend.
I took this professor for comp 2. He was really laid back and the class was pretty easy, except for the 2000 word research paper. But if you start that early it shouldn't be so difficult. Overall it was a good class.
Took him for Comp I and loved his class. Very laid back and easy its almost impossible to get a failing grade. He gives you chances to make up your papers and there is extra credit. The final is optional and there is no midterm.No need to purchase the book i dont remember using it once the whole semester.
Ridiculously easy class. Just do what he says and you'll pass. Tests are somewhat easy and he allows you to rewrite your papers. There's also extra credit and he's extremely helpful. Lectures are sometimes unclear. Let us out early every day. Redundant with his jokes and sometimes goes off topic with his stories. No homework just papers.
Amazing teacher! He does go off a little with crazy stories but if you listen to them he is helping you with your essay that is due soon :) I wish they could clone him for all subjects!
Took him for comp 2 very easy teacher compared to some of the english comp teachers. You have to write some essays that he does grade but will never give you a 'F' he'll make you rewrite or redo it. Attendance is a joke just dont go overboard in being absent. He's somewhat clear. few readings, poems,drawing of a poem,the final very easy 3 questions
If you dont love English, and just want to take simple easy class and earn an A or B this is who you should take. I turned in assignments weeks late and got A's. He always says dont worry about it I understand you're busy with work and other classes. You really only need to go to class on certain days, attendence is not a big deal.
BEST TEACHER AT VALENICA HE WAS SIMPLE AND EASY AND MAKES LEARNING FUN AND FUNNY GOOFY MAN EASY A OR B AND HE CARES FOR HIS STUDENTS AND THERE WORKS I REQ. HIM FOR READ PREP ENC 1101 AND 1102
Easy class but boring to me. He said it deals with common sense. Yes, so we dont need to pay our money to learn about common sense. He teaches about basic stuff that u already know by skimming book. 3 essays(he NEVER left any comment in my essays )1 research paper, grammar test and final if u dont got an A.Hes a nice person after all though.
This professor is AWESOME! I loved going to this class because of him. He's extremely funny, and has no problem helping you if you need it so don't be afraid to ask. He gives out the easiest extra credit to do if you need or just want to do it. He loves telling life stories that relate to the subject and gets off topic a bit but it's worth it!
WOW !!!!!! What a teacher... one of the coolest and most laid back instructors Ive ever had... do the work and you will at least get a B. If you fail you only have you to blame.
He's an interesting professor. Late to almost all classes. Completely never showed up for a few. Comment paper instructions unclear. Unorganized. Watched movies for more than six weeks straight. Unclear on what is wrong on papers. But he will allow you to rewrite papers if necessary.
Love this teacher he is the best, hes also very funny and helpful.
The most COOLEST Professor that I have ever had in my college experience!! He teaches while using real-life situation. I have learned a lot from him. He is an inspiration to me. HE ROCKS!!
He is the nicest guy you'll ever meet and he makes the class so damn easy that i didn't really even conceder it as an actual class, and another side note: Laughing at his lame jokes will get you extra points trust me i know!...bottom line is TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!!! you will not regret it'll be the easiest A you'll ever make!
the best teacher i love him!! TAKE HIM won't regret it
AMAZING he made the class a breeze, i had to keep reminding myself that this was not an elective! take him!!
MY FAVORITE PROFESSOR EVER!!! VERY HELPFUL AND WANTS THE STUDENTS TO SUCCEED. TELLS FUNNY STORIES! IM AN OLDER STUDENT AND HE IS THE BEST!!!!
This is the coolest professor I've ever had.. if you fail this class it's your own fault. He will help you anytime and his assignments are easy.. You have to do the work but if you do whats asked of you , you will get an "A" in his class no problem.
Super easy class. Different types of essay, a research, 1 in class essay, & final is optional. Really like his overall view on things. Interesting guy. Funny random stories. Though, I guess I was expecting a little bit more out of the class. (Book: I used an older edition, I did fine. We used the book no more than 5 times.)
Very easy he is a cool dude very laid back
One of the coolest professors I've ever had! I don't think it's possible to fail this class. He helps you anytime and his assignments are easy really easy. You have to do the essays (5) but they were easy. He is a sweet man and I loved listening to his stories.
Mr.B is really awesome i enjoyed having him as a teacher i wish i could of taken him for enc 1102 also but couldn't get in his class because they fill up super fast. Love that guy though got an A. AWESOME TEACHER!
Best teacher ever! He makes class interesting, always tries to help you, he tries to make things fun and there's not a single class where he doesn't tell a funny story of his! Don't look for anyone else, TAKE HIS CLASS! I promise you wont regret it
This guy is an amazing teacher. He's extremely laid back and chill. He grades fairly and is very helpful if you're confused. There's a grammar test and he gives you multiple tries at it with practice tests. There's about 3-4 essays and one final research paper which is only 1,000 words. He takes it step by step and helps you out along the way.
THis professor has got to be the best comp professor. Teaches 1 and 2. His class fills up fast. If you don't take him, sucks to be you then. Seriously he is amazing.
It was a very easy class. He told stories about his life that always somehow managed to fit in with the topic he was going over. He defiantly made the class entertaining.
Professor B was awesome!! He only lectures on what you need to know and then lets you go early if he's done with his lecture. Hardly any Homework, 4 papers and NO FINAL if you have a B or higher!! Take him if you want an easy grade, he tells some really funny stories, and you'll enjoy his sense of humor!
Easy guy very funny and laid back but still teaches what you need to learn. Would highly recommend. Took him for both ENC 1 and ENC 2 and received good grades.
Super sweet guy. You'll never be bored in his class, entertains the class with his past experiences/adventures. I got an easy A. He only assigns essays- 4 to be exact. No final if you have a good grade. Take him take him take him!
Great professor! Very funny and only assigns 4 essays + 1 research paper. You don't have to take the final if you have an A in the class. Take him if you want an easy A.
GREAT professor! Makes it a pleasure to come to class! Always very interesting stories, conversations and debates in his class. His stories & lessons always leave me feeling like I just gained a little bit more insight and wisdom of the world and all it's cooky workings. I would DEFINITELY recommend this professor!
Very good professor. Very passionate and funny. I recommend him to everyone I know. Easy A if you do all the assignments.
He is arrogant and assigns tasks without fully describing the topic. Very harsh grader, You will only succeed if you try your best, and spend hours on his class. NOT an easy A.
I took this class as a hybrid but the class time is a waste. Follow the syllabus and there's really no need to go except for the grammer test and in class essay. He's very unclear on when he posts thing in BB and when they're due. If this wasn't a hybrid then I don't think it suck so much, but as a hybrid I do not reccomend.
Hybrid Course, the teacher is a nice guy but he is very unclear. The class is almost over and I still dont know some of my grades from the beginning of the semester. Dont even bother looking at the syllabus because he does not follow it whatsoever. He doesnt answer emails but he will help you after class. Unorganized. I suggest another teacher.
Professor B really knows his stuff. He takes forever to grade though. I'm getting ready to take my final and I don't know most of the grades from the entire course. He really wants you to succeed and gives extra credit and help points to everyone. He doesn't respond to emails which is a pain but if you go to his office he'll help you.
Professor B's class was extremely easy, I went to class maybe 6 times all year and I still passed with a 4.0. He takes his sweet time grading papers, I believe I went 10 weeks without any grades put into the system. If you have questions you HAVE to email him by his atlas email. He basically gives you an "A" if you turn everything in.
Professor B! Was amazing, he was very understanding. By far the best English Professor I've had so far! you won't regret taking his class.
HE IS THE BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD...
Just take him.....
I never rate professors on this site but I am signing up for Fall classes and I happen to pass Boumarate. I had him for LIT 2120 and he was awesome. So understanding and helpful but not dumb. He gave me hope that there are still good professors out there. And you can tell he actually cares about you and your grade. Best professor at Valencia.
Prof. B. is by far one of the best professors at Valencia. His passion for both literature and his students is evident from the first class. He is helpful, tolerant,and available. He is there to teach in a style that is enjoyable and relative.
As long as you do the work you will get the grade you deserve. Had to do a lot of reading but what language class doesn't. Assignments take forever to be graded but we also got a week off to catch-up on missed work.
I have and always will take Mr.B's class what so ever! BEST PROF out there, always an A in his classes, really passionate about English and his students :)TAKE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!
I would take his course all over again! He is hilarious and he makes the course much easier for you. He is very lenient. You'd love him!
This teacher is so compassionate about his class and students. English is my worst subject and I literally hate it with everything in me but I would take it over and over again with this professor. He's really great.
Professor B. is a nice guy. He kinda rambles on with stories but he only does it so it will not be as boring. I am taking it again. He always extends deadlines until he makes sure everyone knows what they are doing. Cares about your grade and is very down to earth. I am horrible at english and I have an A-. Just turn in your work and you will pass.
I absolutely adore him!! He's such a dork! I always left his class with a smile. Very funny guy & his stories are the best. He's helpful and very understanding. Do the work and you'll get an easy "A". I'm sad i cant fit his Holocaust class into my schedule, but I would definitely take this course again or even another one as long as he teaches it.
A lot of writing. Not sure if he reads the papers, or just gives you A's for just doing them. Never had corrections on my papers. Didn't do well in Comp 1, but Comp 2 with this professor was a breeze. Took him during the summer.
Just... Take Him!!
Took his hybrid Comp 2 class in fall. One of the best professors I've had at Valencia! He's very respectful and understanding. His lectures were always interesting. He takes a little to grade your assignments, but I wouldn't hold that against him. Just turn your papers in and you should be fine. He even gives a lot of extended deadlines.
He was a very good teacher, I took him for both ENC 1101 & 1102 and I do not regret that decision. I am definitely a better writer because of his help.
Great professor! Helps out whenever possible! Gave many chances to turn in late assignments!!!
easy A if you show up for class and do the homework teacher is very helpful and guide you throughout the class. would take again
This was one of the easiest professors that I've taken. I enjoyed his laid back teaching style. I took the hybrid 8 week course so we wrote an essay every week for 5 weeks. Come to class and write the essay, you'll pass for sure.
Barely learned anything in the class. Too many lectures about his past life and gets off topic alot.
Boumarate is a "so-so" ENC prof. His lectures consist of him talking about personal life experiences; the time devoted to the actual curriculum and assignment explanation is very minimal. Very lenient on attendance though.
I took this Professor for ENC 1102 I learned so many new and creative ways to write which is my main goal and area of focus. I highly recommend him as one of the fairest and best English Professors around. Thank you. I had a great time attending class!
Prof. Aby, is great professor and he knows how to deliver the information with easy helpful way. Understandable and very educated. Furthermore, he is very honest and gives time to listen to his students. I would take him again.
This Professor if pretty bad as all he does it talk about his political views, and then at the end relate it to the course. However, if you wish for an easy A, take this class as you will easily pass as all you have to do is read the information and write a couple of papers. Very nice guy who really loves his students. He's just quite the talker
I cannot tell you much that I learned in his class about English but dang it was a good class. we engaged most of the time in group conversations about life. Only bad thing is that theres a couple papers here and there but nothing that'll kill you. he is so inspirational and such a genuine human being. TAKE HIMM!!!!! he's awesome!
Gets off topic a lot but he is a good professor. I'm taking him for Comp 2
Really good teacher! Loves to talk to his students. Real easy A. Few essays he gives but real easy & helping hand if going through anything. Honestly would love to take him again
This is one of m favorite professors I ever took. He is an honorable teacher that truly cares for his students. I would recommend him to anyone who wants an easy A, and to listen to the most interesting stories I ever heard. You won't regret taking him, but rather be inspired as a student. If you can PLEASE take his class, best decision ever!
Sweet teacher. Talks a lot about his life, but sometimes its to give you examples/ideas for an essay. Respected by many students, cares A LOT about grammar. Tends to dismiss class early which is nice. Expect homework its an English Class so yes u have to write. Had like 7 essays totalnot too bad except for the Research Essay. Grammar test 100pts.
He's nice and all but he NEVER grades anything so no feedback whatsover. Talks alot but not about anything relating to the class.
Very light workload. You will learn nothing, but it's an easy A. He said the book is required, but I never touched it. He's very nice, responds quickly to emails, and takes a while to grade. He is kind of a SJW, so write your papers from the perspective of an extreme leftist feel-good point of view, even if you know it's BS, and you'll be fine.
Took him fall of 2015. All he does is lectures a little bit about grammar, but mostly talks about the Holocaust and his trips. Give three easy essays (Descriptive, Narrative & Research). Midterm: grammar test (20 q's) take it twice and he puts in the highest grade. Final: in class essay
Alright professor,takes kind of long to grade. I took this class as a flex course I had to write a paper every week (700 words) and do a discussion. The last week I had to do a research paper (1500 words) on one of the readings, and the final was 3 questions on the assigned reading.
Took online 6-week course. Does not grade quickly, but answers emails quickly and will help if asked. Prefers you message him privately instead of publicly posting questions. I struggled a bit because writing is not my strong suit, but feedback was helpful and I think I made out okay. Will not take again because this was my last writing class.
One of the best Professors of Valencia. He cares about student and hard work. I learned a lot, very interesting material. So glad I took him and will take again. Thank you, Professor for a great job and God bless you.
He is nice. Easy A. BUT if you take him online he will not grade ANYTHING until the semester is almost over. Kinda annoying. Besides that, he's alright.
Im taking freshman composition I now and wilk take II now in summer online.
I did not like prof B. He was very easy, but every day in class i felt like it was a waste of time. He doesnt grade fast or respond to emails. 3 papers and 1 research paper.
Professor B was amazing! The classes were somewhat boring but in the end it was all worth it. Easy A.
Professor B. is AMAZING!! He is fair, kind, and cares about his students success. When I began to fall behind, he reached out to me. Most professors would have ignored that and let me fail, yet he did not . He scheduled a time and date for us to meet and discuss what I can do to succeed in his course. Doing so, boosted my confidence and I passed!
Couldn't make sense of the material. Then I realized it's bc "critical approaches" in lit is just nonsense academics make up to pretend writing is a science. I barfed up random nonsense w/a few key words that sound "deconstructionisty," and got a steady stream of A's thereafter. Also w/this professor, the more SJW you sound, the better your grade.
Easy A if you need the GPA boost. I didn't learn anything in this class, not a single thing. He will make you do tons of work and then grade it all at the last minute, making feedback in this class non-existent. He replays to emails fairly quickly but overall the class is a waste of time/money (unless you want the A, then, by all means, take him).
took both composition I and II , he is great and his stories are awesome!!
Professor B is great. He is very fair if you work hard you will get good grades if not he will see that and give you bad grades.
Great professor, he really cares about his students. Clear with his lectures, the class is easy.
Do not even waste your money on a class like that with him you need to write 4 essay and a research and for the final you need to write an essay
He waited until the last week of class to grade all of our assignments which was very annoying. He doesn't really teach anything, just lectures about his life that I suppose lead to life lessons. The assignments were very easy and he seems pretty easy going.
He is so sweet and caring, 10/10 would recommend
He took a long time to grade assignments. There was like 4 or 5 essays throughout the course and the final is a timed writing assignment. Some weeks there was only a discussion. It was a pretty easy course overall.
Would have gave him a 5 if not for his irritable habit of not grading your work. Started this class in August, it's November and he's only graded my week 1 work. It'd be great if this wasn't the case, because he's a pretty decent, easy going guy. Then again, I'm taking it online, so maybe in person is different. Wouldn't take again cuz of grading.
The amount of writing wasnt bad and he isnt a harsh grader. Overall an easy A. Takes extremely long to grade. The only reason I didnt give him 5 stars is many classes he didnt speak about English at all. He gave many lectures about history, politics, the holocaust. I think only 2 classes he actually taught English.
took this over summer, not the best. there are discussions with replies required. no textbook needed as he gives you links to all pieces of text. each short essay (700 w) prepares you for final essay (1500 w) but he doesn't give good feedback on how to make your short essays better to get a great grade on the final essay. he also gave extra credit.
ENC 1102 Professor did the usual Discussion every week with 2 replies based on short stories and poems, She had 3 Small Essays & Final based on the analyziation of poem or short stories provided to us in the Course also from the Discussions. One Final Essay which she helps build with Outline, Draft and Final Draft in the last weeks about Literacy.
Took ENC 1102 online, class had a few essay but he is really nice, I ended up with a 90%
PLEASE READ! Worst online professor Ive had, sent 4 emails throughout the semester asking for assistance, he did not have the decency to reply to ANY of them, two of which became a zero on assignments. For an English professor I expected more feedback than good job on my assignments.
Easy online course with weekly discussions and three essays, plus a research paper. Professor responds to emails right away and provides extra credit.
People like this prof. cause they have him face to face, but he doesn't seem to care about his online students. All his instructions are unclear for assignments. Many times I didn't know what I was supposed to write for essays. I would email him and he NEVER responded till this day. Also, it takes him FOREVER to grade, which can affect your grade.
Professor is very accessible and emailed me back immediately throughout the semester. If you fail to submit something just let him know. He was very accommodating with me. Easy A!
All his instructions are unclear for assignments. Many times I didn't know what I was supposed to write for essays. Also, it takes him FOREVER to grade, which can affect your grade.
Class was easy for a six week summer term and the professor was very understanding and provided grace period extensions and extra credit. Will be taking his Comp2 class in the fall.
Summer, not the best. Discussions with replies required. He doesn't give good feedback.
very bad prof. no feedback. don't take it.
Began the course with a B- on a couple of assignments, but followed the guidance and improved to earn 'A' in the end. Great professor who offers revisions and extra credit. Will take again.
Hurry and register fast because his classes fill up quickly! If you are lucky enough to get into his classes!
