He has a different way of making you a better writer. At times he can go on and on about stories, even the same ones I've heard from Eng 200 since I took him also. Do the homework and your guaranteed an A. Talks of him retiring soon, so take him while you still can. Its an easy A!

Garcia is an excellent teacher, he uses a textbook that he wrote himself which enables students to write like they never thought was possible. His style is considered unconventional by most but when you're done with the class you walk away being able to really paint a picture for your reader with your words. I had him for 2 different classes.

Before you can write essays in advanced English classes, you first need to know how to write proper sentences. That's exactly what Garcia teaches you. It's an essential class to start with. His jokes get weird like once he asked a student if he wanted to sniff the fumes off his marker. But he's never a boring teacher. Highly recommended.
