This teacher is an **** but in a good way. He's very funny, entertaining, and doesn't give much homework. The reason he doesn't even need to issue homework is because his teaching and methods are so effective.
He is a teacher with sense of humor.Easy class and wonderful experience~!!~
The best english teacher ever!! Very funny and easy homework. Enjoyable class and even lets you out early sometimes.
Mr.Garcia: He is a wonderful teacher,with a great sense of humor.
AWESOME TEACHER!!!
very easy. he is funny and is real.
What you learn in this class you will remember forever. He is a teacher with a great sense of humor, just overall the best experience you will get out of a college class.
mr. Garcia is the best english teacher. He is very funny and I never was bored
awesome teacher I learned a lot in his class!!! =)very helpful and a really easy going guy...
Garcia is so funny, so helpful, one of the best teachers i've ever had! Homework is actually fun, and hte final well I thought it was a joke....pretty easy! I love this teacher! You'll be an awesome writer if you take his class!
Nice man, likes to teach and tell funny stories. Helps mold students into true writers. Has his own style of writing but it truely helps in the long run. He is very patient, very relaxed class but also a great learning experience.
Boring class. Easy paperwork, everyone from ESL class is here... lame!
he made me learn so much and enjoy writing so that i changed my major to english. he is getting old though but funny as hell.
So damn easy! never went and got an A. Women hater, though so girls watch out. Oh my god I love him, too bad his Eng 1a class fills up after the 1st hour of registration.
easy teacher,but unhelpful.
i had him for english 200 and english 1a. very nice teacher and is hilarious. there wasnt a day where i wouldnt laugh in his class. best class ever.
I don't like his style, but he is a fun teacher, doesn't give u any HW 2/3 of the class. last 1/3 of class, u have to turn LOTS of HW. nice guy
He is a good guy, but because he is so old he is nervous. I got a C in his class, although most of my grades were A and B.Don't take him!! or If you are taking him drop that class because he drives you crazy. I felt that you need to know this fact.
Alright I passed his class... he rocks! I knew I failed it for sure since I did not pass the last final paper (5)pages, instead I did (2)pages only.. mwuahaha... Easy class! He's mean funny guy... haha... beware though, lots of ESL students. eeek
awesome teacher taught me alot his method for teaching writing skills is unique and easy to understand, he has dramatically changed my writing skills I recommend him for everybody also funny guy
Has an excellent method for writing papers, one you'll use in the future--this is college, so expect to apply yourself, if you do, you will see a difference. He doesn't hate women, quite the opposite, he just likes to keep class interesting and awake
He's a great teacher. If you ever catch him teaching part-time, I highly recommend you taking his class. He's got a great way of explaining and I learned a lot.
In semi-retirement at this time so only teaching minimum class schedule. However, if you can get in, he is the best instructor available!! Mr. Garcia gives his students the tools for witing any paper required in our college life. If you can get in, he's wonderful!!!!
This is the man you want for English. The most popular teacher on campus besides merifield. Funny, easy and interesting - you cant get any better. i had him for 3 classes and got 3 A's. If you get a C you did not try at all. I actually miss this teacher. you could joke with him too.
Good guy, funny and helpful. Makes you a better writer. Will probably get an A, Make sure you can joke with him so he will like you.
I wouldn't say easy A because you really learn a lot and become a better writer. He is a bit abrasive but it is all in fun
IF YOU WANT TO PASS AND ENGLISH, TAKE GARCIA, ****IN HILARIOUS AND THERE NO WAY ANYBODY CAN FAIL IF YOU JUST SHOW UP OCCASIONALLY...IM NOT THE GREATEST STUDENT IN THE WORLD BUT I PULLED A B IN THERE... GET HIM TO SING TOO
WHAT ARE THE ASSIGNMENTS FOR HIS ENGLISH 1A CLASS ????
Garcia is great!!! He's chill, laid back!! he's a great person, and extremely nice. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GARCIA!!!!!

Mr.Garcia is quite possibly the best teacher at Saddleback. Not only is he an extremely funny guy, Mr. Garcia is also first-rate at teaching you how to write. His class is quite easy as well (first A I was able to obtain in an English class in awhile).
to put it simply...he was ****ing awsome. i love him and if you can take him take every class you can
Unlike most professors he really cares about what he teaches. He also helps deprogram the students of worthless junk that other English professors teaches them.
this guy is the best english teacher and really funny...this man taught me how to write and i would recommend him 100%
the greatest teacher ever. you will have so much fun in this class. this is a class you will look foward to. he will teach to be a better writer. and you will fun doing it. and you honestly have to try to fail this class. actually you have to try to get lower than a B. just show up listen to what he says and you will pass this class. screw flanders
If you can put up with his racial comments , its a piece of cake class. He definately knows what he's doing
He is honestly the best teacher that I have ever had. He makes learning how to write fun. He is also extremely funny as well. He makes fun of a lot of people though, so don't take him if you don't want to get picked on.
he is the best
excellent
Good teacher but putting up with his racial comments got really old really quick , besides that their nothing wrong with the class
not the best teacher i had...if you want an easy A go for it, but I am not sure that he is the best teacher out there.
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!
4 writing assignments and i did them all right before class and got 3A's & 1B on them. Very helpful and a his method of teaching was excellent. I learned alot from this class. it was pretty easy. no quizzes or tests, only the final, which was quick and easy. funny guy.makes alot of jokes but don't take him seriously. i'm taking him again for Eng 1a
Mr.Garcia is the best. Easy A especially if you do the work. Very funny, a little racial, and he likes to pick on you. So don't let him! I learned alot and will actually miss not going to his class.
Best English teacher ever!!! His way of teaching helps you improve your writing. Attend class and do all the short essay's and you will definitly pass the class. The only long paper is the Final 5 page paper. Cool teacher

WOW!! the first day i went to class i was crying from laughing so hard he is hilarious!! i loved this class... even though he liked to pick on me haha. deffinitely take this class im trying to get into his 1A class. He helped me write soo much better, i sound so professional.he is sooo funny and talks about his son and his previous wives a lot. :)
Garcia is THE best english teacher to take. I got into his 1A class, and i cant wait to take it. He's hilarious and makes the time flyyy. i reccommend this teacher to everyyyonnneee :D
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.
Best English Professor I've ever had!!! I believe he is retired, so I just want to wish him luck! great guy...
hmm. so bottom line your an idiot if you dont take Garcia .. he is soo easy and all you do each class is crack jokes with him and he doesnt give any hw. we literally have had 2 kindergarden assignments and the final is a 4 page paper but he basically gives you the outline of it .. sooo easy!! i cant stress enough how awesome garcia istakeit!
stupid and not funny joks go around the classroom everyday. Never take him again.
Garcia is the man! If you are a guy that is all against feminism, you'll love him as I did. Pretty simple class, 1st half of the semester consists of lecture and no HW. 2nd half consists of 5 2pg essays and a 5-6 pg essay at the end. Basically, do the work, show up to class, and you have an A.
I love the guy. you buy his syllabus at the start of the semester, then its an easy ride from there. All the formats are included in the syllabus. Always talks about his son. Entertaining.
hes the best writing teacher in the world!! he knows what hes teaching!!!!!! hes not easy but hes really funny. take him u will enjoy wr1

Garcia is the best english teacher in the world! Most English teachers tell you how not to write, Garcia shows you the easiest ways to write a great paper. Before this class I got C's on essays, now I get A+ . Go to class otherwise you feel so lost, never homework. BEST ENGLISH TEACHER FOR VISUAL LEARNERS . love garcia hes so funny
He is a wonderful teacher. Mr. Garica made it easy to write. He is funny and it was fun in his class.
great guy, very cool.
Teacher is hilarious!! Loved his class and recommend it for everyone!!
Mr. Garica is a great teacher. I'm not a big fan of english but he was very helpful, he is all around a great teacher.
best class ever, hilarious jokes and entertaining as well. take this calss
I like very much A.Garcia!He is so good and has his own programm! Fantastic !I study English only 5 years. I am a second languach student.It was so easy and clear. Every English speeking student must have grad A. No work. First 1/2 semester you do nothing.After 5-6 essays and final essay. I wrote this final for one day.Nice man.Recomend.
The best way to take both classes 200 and 1a. If you do it, belive Eng 1A will be so easy. I am second languach student and study only 5 years English. I spend just 1 day to write final essay.Fun class, nice personality man.He has his own programm.Best.You will work only second part of semester.Only 5-6 short essays and final about city.
easy class,, but you dont learn anything in his class if u want an easy A go fot it
Teacher does pick on people in class by gender and place of origin, I think he's trying to be funny but sometimes comes off offensive
best best best
Professor Garcia is one of the best instructors that I ever had in my lifetime. I have learned the importance of the English Grammar, and writing. If you need to become a professional in the English language of arts I would recommend you all to Join his class. He is very understanding and very concerned about his students progress in his class.
He's different ! TAKE HIM ...easy easy easy easy...
I learned how to trully become a better writter by taking his class, I wish he would of assigned homework after each lesson so that i had more practice, but 3 page essays and 1 4 page paper plus an inclass final, funny man, had us buy his sylabus that we never used, but he has his own software program that explains in detail his philosophy,take him
funniest teacher ever best take him if the class is not full. you will like it and if you don't take it you will regret it.
I enjoy this teacher and would have to has I agree with with ideals, he will speak his mind and tell a joke that can be "out-there" so if you can't take a joke or some sarcasm Garcia is not for you but from a learning standpoint on to put sentence structure together I would say Yes.
Garcia's class helped me a lot to be a better writer which is pretty useful for next levels of writing. Although he has this ultimate sarcasm attitude, he makes the class lively. He teaches what and how real writing is unlike other professors who are expectant to make students terrific writers in few weeks of the beginning of semester
I have never had an English teacher I was fond of until Garcia. Not only is he hilarious, his witty personality makes his lectures interesting and easy to follow. In the beginning it may seem hard to disregard previous criteria learned by past teachers, but with the steps provided by Garcia your writing will be 10x better by the end of the semester
Garcia is a great professor, if you need help with the essays and homework in his class he's happy to help you.
he's a great instructor who teaches you a new and effective way of writing.
HE IS UNIQUE, HE IS FULL OF KNOWLEDGE, HE IS VERY FRIENDLY. HE IS A ROLE MODEL FOR ALL TEACHERS, I AM VERY PROUD THAT I WAS ONE OF HIS STUDENT, I LOVE HIM.
Tony Garcia is a great Professor, he is very straightforward and he will help you if you needed help. He is also a very funny guy and he loves his student.
Garcia is the best english teacher I ever had! His program helped me to drastically improve my writing. He is very helpful and friendly. If you work on what he tells you, your writing WILL improve! I am an international student and struggled before his class! His program works amazing!!!
If only all professors in Saddleback are similar to Garcia, I'd probably have 4.0 GPA and will transfer easily to any universities i want easily. I was gonna take him for 1A and 1B, too bad this is his last year teaching at saddleback. Great teacher overall, and his program works nicely.
u aint doing work in this class, still get an A. Take him to boost your GPA. too bad, he's not gonna be teaching anymore :P
Garcia definitely has a unique sense of humor, if he picks on you... he likes you which is a good thing. He is very willing to help and his system definitely helps. He's very straightforward and honest when grading your papers or giving a lecture, would totally take his class again! :D
He's very nice, funny and helpful professor.
This is a very good class, I recommend you take his course. He is very helpful and his approach to the development and structure of everything from; a sentence to a paragraph to a fully developed essay is so insightful. His is a technique you can take with you and apply to future English classes as well as all classes which require written work.
I am learning English as a second language and I learned a lot from this professor and his amazing program to write in English. He usually ask student to write in class and just 3-4 paragraph during semester and a final project which is about 4-5 pages. I would strongly suggest him and his program.
