Engaging and dynamic class learned a lot Ché is a seasoned educator who worked at multiple California State Universities and Community Colleges He lectures beyond communication and provides valuable insights

Fun class took for GE would definitely recommend!!!

Exciting and insightful course, the teacher seems to make Communication applicable to different perspectives and majors. He listens to individual students concerns and needs.

Che tends to talk a very lot during the lectures, but his personality makes up for it. Any communications class is an easy A, but as long as you show improvement it's an easy A. FYI midterm and final are "take it home"

Attendance is mandatory, he's flexible 2-3 excused absences anything more you fail. I've taken Che for two classes, the first class he lectured a lot and we had group work, the second class he lectured less provided more structure more discussions and straightforward expectations. Huge improvement, I would highly recommend Che, he's dedicated.

I love Che and would take him 1000 more times if I could. When he teaches you can really tell that he is passionate about what he teaches and his job. He is really invested in his job and his students.

Che is such an amazing teacher. He is super thoughtful, caring and tried his best to make the classroom environment fun and comfortable for everyone. You can tell he really cares about all his students and wants them to achieve great things. He does not pick you out to speak but you can sometimes tell when he wants you to. Overall AMAZING!!!

Prof Meneses is extremely caring towards her students! Take him and you'll learn how amazing he is. Attend lectures. Study the PowerPoint slides to do well on assignments and exams enjoy the class, he makes it fun!

Che's public speaking class was more of an experience than a college course. He is dedicated to communication and my classmates made the class so much fun. I am not a nervous person when it comes to public speaking, but if you are he will help you overcome it. The lectures and tests are easy, and he ACTUALLY HELPS YOU LEARN

A must take teacher at Foothill. He goes out of his way to customize lesson plans and approach students with understanding compassion and motivation. Looking forward to taking another class with him in the future!

I cannot recommend him enough if you are majoring in Communication. Che is the most involved and motivating Professor I have had. His feedback is invaluable. I am going to be much more successful because of this class. Put in the work and you will get a lot back.

I rate professors on the gems of wisdom they impart on students, long after the class is over. Che seamlessly connects course content with real life along with supporting and caring about students. Some may complain about strictness about structure but he customizes the experience individually and I really appreciate that!

He is a great guy and a great teacher. I had him for COMM 1A and it went smoothly. Reading, participation and effort required. But he's a really good and caring teacher. He makes lectures interesting and from someone who despises public speaking he really made me enjoy the subject and process. Highly recommend!

Most of your grade comes from the speeches and exams, 20% participation. Meneses each exam at beginning of quarter, which really helps since the tests are based on the chapters. Very supportive and informative

Che is an awesome professor, this class was the least class I stressed in all quarter! Che is very personable and helpful. 3 presentations and two exams which are learning focused! I enjoyed his class very much. Could not recommend more!!!

He's super cool and a chill professor. Awesome, caring and passionate Teacher, who makes speeches in front of people fun! Class Activities are fun! Professor Meneses uniquely relates to students, super approachable.

Che is one of the most genuine professors you'll get during college. Lectures are entertaining. He has a lot of insight on life in general and I never was upset spending time going his lectures / classes. An absolutely incredible person and you would honestly be missing out of you don't get the chance to 'collaborate' in his classes!

An absolutely incredible teacher and you would honestly be missing out of you don't get the chance to have him! Che always makes his lectures interesting and engaging and will have you dying of laughter each class. Thank goodness we still have teachers like him who make school enjoyable! Take him purely to say you had the experience.

Prof Che is one of a kind. He's a bit out there, but really understands student needs and concerns. COMM 1B argumentation and persuasion requires to pairing up with partner and debating on an issue. He has pop quizzes on readings. But definitely worthwhile, you'll be more empathetic.

Excellent class with assignments that add specifically add value and uniqueness to your LinkedIn. Strongly recommend!

Professor Ché truly cares about students as people. His methods are unorthodox but this is a strength and makes the class an enjoyable experience

Che is admittedly disorganized and publicly open about being a novice online teacher. Though, he cares about every individual student enrolled and makes himself available to help beyond communication 1b, highly highly recommend

Amazing approach to presenting communication. Mr. Menses is an inspirational, insightful and charismatic person! He offers extra credit and roots for all student success.

Funny (and stylish) professor with interesting lectures, just awesome! I have nothing but good things to say about him. Professor che is SUPER helpful, realistic with course material and relatable to students. The class focuses on Student Learning Outcomes, Course Skills and how to apply them academically and professionally. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Hands down, my favorite professor last quarter, maybe even the WHOLE YEAR. Dynamic and engaging lectures, he has a way of always keeping the class thinking about current topics specific to the Learning Outcomes and Skills of the class. Participation rewarded so make sure to attend all lectures. Very easy A, and he's super funny

Professor Che is one of the most dynamic I teachers, in my college experience. He has so much information about fundamentals and is a great instructor for learning the basics. The class explores and discovers Communication theory it can be stressful at times, it helps with retention of the information. 10/10 recommend!

Rarely do teachers care more about his students, than Mr. Che He is very easy to communicate with and is very understanding if you have questions or need extra help. Due to COVID he is new to online teaching and is transparent, honest and fair about this huge transition. Take his class you WILL learn and not regret registering!!!

I had him when COVID-19 started the academic year and Foothill went fully online. This is BY FAR the greatest COMM professor I have ever had. He is understanding of student anxieties, practices equitable grading and encourages all students to learn. A+ teacher all the way, strongly recommend!!!

Fantastic class. If you are intimidated by Interpersonal Communication, you should not be with Prof. Ché. He creates a safe learning environment, is helpful, nice, handsome, humorous, and full of energy. I have nothing to complain about him. He has an open mind, accepts other's opinions and encourages everyone to be themself.

I love Professor Che! He is the best, most relatable professor I have ever had. He acts as a friend to everyone in the class and genuinely wants every person to grow as a speaker. The teacher makes the class laugh daily and delivers content and criteria in the most clear, concrete way. Definitely recommend!!!

Professor Ché is by far my favorite professor at Foothill. He communicates expectations and is helpful and encouraging. As long as you demonstrate what you are learning and put effort into the assignments), you should get an A or B. Relax, prepare to learn int and have fun! Take the class, especially if you care about learning!

Professor Che was the best professor I have had in my college experience. He has so much information about fundamentals and is a great instructor for learning the basics. The class introduces you into what mass communication really is and while his class can be stressful at times, it helps with retention of the information. highly recommend!

Pretty straightforward and manageable course there are only a few assignments per week. There are step-by-step instructions for assignments, assessments and students were given. The professor was also kind and responsive to questions/concerns. Highly recommend! Great teacher! Would take his class 100 times if I could!

Professor Che is super helpful. Hes ready to help out with a question and never leaves you to "figure it out". His lectures cover the material needed for the projects, the projects are all relevant and help you understand the information. I would definitely recommend taking his class!

Absolute gem of a teacher, you will learn A LOT about Public Speaking, Speech Writing and Research the lectures and videos are so helpful that you don't ever feel lost. He is always quick to answer questions. Our class went well since Prof. Che wanted us to learn and minimize the busy work found in most classes. Highly Recommend!!!!

BEST professor I have had at Foothill. His instruction is clear, he provides entertaining and insightful examples making the projects fun! He helps improve your academic career with advice regarding specific critical thinking and communication skills. I am an improved student for completing this course. Take the class you won't regret it! :)

Best teacher I have ever taken! Meneses is compassionate nice and helpful. Feel like you're not doing well, swing by office hours. Exams are straightforward. I so wish I could take him again. You will learn valuable skills for entry-level employment and university transfer.

Hes a super tight teacher. Really cares about teaching, keeps you engaged in the lecture/discussion. Hes a funny guy and its a really cool class. Anybody that is interested in communication and relationships should love it. Non-communication interested people are welcome also. :) Just take the class, its tight.

TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!!!! He is the BEST, hands down!!!! He will inspire you to be a better student. He is hilarious and engaging. He is a truly unforgettable Professor who is unrelenting at ensuring student success. He teaches you how to think like a Public Speaker - Speech Writer and not a "robot." You can thank me later.

Prof Che will go out of his way to ensure you are understanding material and getting enough practice with skills and learning objectives. He is funny, caring and supports growth your critical thinking. Knowing the Linear Model of COMM is super important. Wish I could take all classes with him. Put in the work and he will go above and beyond for you

Meneses is one of the best teachers he really cares about individual students and goes above and beyond for them. He also makes class super interesting and funny which I loved. I never looked forward to going to a class so much before. His passion for Communication rubs off on you and makes you want to always do your best!

Amazing class take it, loved the course, GE credit, plus he knows how to teach! Highly entertaining lectures off-topic occasionally some students will need to learn / read the textbook outside of class thought the material is easy, fun and useful.

This professor teaches this course well, by ensure each student is seen and validated for who they are as people. Additionally, students are encouraged to make deep and meaningful connections between their career, academic and personal goals with material from the lectures and textbook. This was a very useful, practice and meaningful class!

Took his class over the summer. Such a passionate, knowledgeable and caring person. The assessments and assignments and presentations are not busy work, but instead apply principles of neuroscience to get the best ideas and critical thinking out of each student. Super fun and informative class, definitely recommend!

By far the most energetic and dedicated professor. Professor Meneses is super invested in students and teaches in a style and structure that is easy to follow and understand. He creates an environment that promotes learning, fairness and safety. Read the book, focus on learning and developing skills and you will be in for an amazing experience!!

Never had a professor who cared so much. Prof. Che is highly compassionate and engaging, he puts in time and effort into lessons and activities. I learned a lot in the asynchronous debate class.

5/5 stars, Professor Meneses is a smart guy who wants you to really learn, there is a few group projects, a few presentations, and not too much reading; if you do the work you will pass the class! I recommend taking this class

Easily the most energetic and dedicated professor I have come across. Professor Meneses is heavily invested in your academic success. if you participate and do the assignments you will pass. Professor Meneses also creates a safe environment for those who are shy when it comes to public speaking.

Best professor I have ever encountered throughout my education. Che really cares about his students wellbeing and academic success. I loved taking his courses as it made me happy to attend his classes (took both Public speaking and Interpersonal Communication). Che is a good guy and educator who wants you to succeed, only advice is do the work.

Really good teacher. The professor created a judgement free class that made it easy to excel. If you want to get better at public speaking take this class!!

Took this professor over the summer, his class is decently easy just involves some effort.

Assignments can be unclear at times, but communication is always open with the prof and the fact the professor gives you until the last week to complete assignments makes up anything you struggled with.

Relatively easy class, only complaint is the workload can be dense at times. I would take this class again if I could since you actually learn quite a bit when it comes to mastering communication.

Work can be difficult at time, but you actually learn some useful skills.

Although I did not receive the grade I thought I deserved in his class, I've never learned so much about myself and the way humans communicate, in one quarter. Che hilariously shares his passport of experiences in every class and makes sessions fun, packed with insight and learning. Take a class with him simply for the joy it brings!

Meneses is the BEST COMM professor. The teacher frowns on fluff and only expects students to know important lifelong career, professional and personal skills. He really cares about students and wants to see them to succeed to the fullest. Register for the class, engage and learn amazing stuff. Easy peasy lemon squeezy fo sheezy.

The class is fun and he always finds a way to make students come first! MUST TAKE!! Professor Meneses is unbelievable, one of the most influential teachers at Foothill. He makes class fun by showing a lot of vivid examples and is always willing to answer any questions from students. I hope to take his other classes too!

The professor's communication could use some work, but the class content is valuable. unstuck AI was a lifesaver for preparing assignments. Not the easiest, but worth taking.

for the first 6 weeks this class was very confusing. Assignments on canvas seemed over complicated. However, after going to class for 6 weeks you will find out he is incredibly lenient with grading. Accepts late work for full credit up until the last day of class. Gives 135 points of extra credit. The assignments are not as complicated as they seem

Professor Meneses talks a lot, instructions aren't super clear, grading criteria may be unclear BUT if you want the easiest Comms class and pass with an A then take him. He is super chill and not serious at all. He is the lightest grader, just have your assignments submitted and you will pass with the easiest A ever.

The modules are disorganized and instructions can be unclear. However, he is a really easy grader and you will easily get an A if you put in any effort whatsoever.

Easy class. If you are good at managing your work, then this class is for you. Some of the work posted don't really match up with the presentations (which are online), but its still pretty easy to catch up. He still gives you full points if you are late, or you need to re-submit because of an error. He even gives extra credit.
