Dr Cantu rocks!!!! He's very professional at English he makes the whole class fun and enjoyable he's very funny and super nice and understanding got A's on my assignments and of course an A in his class TAKE HIM!!!!
One of the greatest professors I ever took for English this semester!! he was very kind and patient he even helped us with our essays when we needed it! I enjoyed his class all semester and so will you! Take him!!!
I chose him instead of continuing to my last English teacher because of ratemyprofessor, for which I regret now. He's humorous and creative. But the work is way too little and casual. It is so hard to push myself to improve if the teacher does not give me real comments. I like teachers that are more serious.
I think this professor was amazing because i learned how to improve my English skills in essays, poems, drama plays, that's it next
I think this professor was amazing because i learned how to improve my English skills in essays, poems, drama plays, that's it nexttttttttttttttttttt
Easy teacher if you don't want to struggle; only 3 essays
Awesome professor!
Some people say he's a Hot Teacher but I don't see it Lol. But other than that He's the best English professor ever!!!!!!!! If you need an English class, take Dr. Cantu. He's awesome and makes his class super Fun & Easy!!! :)
take him! great professor, you actually look forward to his class! his classes fill up quick... don't wait
I would highly recommend taking this class. Dr. Cantu is a great professor; there isn't any tests but he does expect you to show up to class and participate when were are talking about a subject he brings up. We have about three essays that we write in his class but only about a page or two in length. His class is fun and entertaining, an easy A.
Great professor he made me want to go for more and more learn more things I actually read a book because he game me the hunger to read and learn..
Dr. Canu has been one of the best instructors I've had at STC. He is very upbeat and funny,but most of all very intelligent. He makes you want to go to class and participate. His class is not difficult at all. You do have to write a few essays and two papers but they opinion essays and papers. Again not a difficult class but you do learn a lot.
Great professor! Easiest class to pass!
Awesome teacher it was amazing
Dr Cantu is an awesome professor and he makes attending class a lot fun. I will definitely be taking composition II with him next semester.

He's a great professor, very funny. It will definitely be one of your favorite classes to attend.
He was really easy. He explained everything clearly, and helped with whatever you needed. But, if you fail this class then there's something wrong with you, because it's a very very easy class. Turn in your work and you'll be fine, he excepts late work, and he's very flexible with work. Don't get the textbook, we only used it one time.
Mr. Cantu has a super relaxed attitude and makes the class go by fast. Going to his class is something to look forward to. You never know what your gonna get! One short story, one poem, and a one act play. Two exams are opinion based in class essays. Would definitely take again!
He is a great instructor!!! All of his classes are interesting. Probably one of the funniest persons I have had as instructor. Very easy class just turn in all your work and if you can't turn them on time, he understands. Also try to participate as much as you can.
He is a great teacher. I really recommend him.
Mr. Cantu makes class very fun and interesting. He is very helpful and understanding. I would highly recommend him!

Great professor, constant journals to engage you to write frequently and a couple of essays here and there. Lenient on late assignments, attendance isn't mandatory but that shouldn't be a problem since you'll be wanting to go to class. His teaching style is by using lots of real life experiences and examples, best way to learn! Class gets full fast

Dr. Cantu is a great professor, he has a good sense of humor, he is always in a cheerful mood and he makes learning fun. I found this class to be one of my favorites. Highly recommended.
Best class I've taken so far. 4 essays and journals is pretty much all you do the whole semester.

Easy course, great professor, and would take the class again
Before taking this course, I believed there would be many papers since it was a literature class, but there wasnt. Of course there was papers to write but it was so easy and didn't seem like much work. I also had this class in the morning, thinking it would be boring, but Mr. Cantu loves what he does that he makes the class so fun and inspiring.
Awesome instructor! Very funny, always in a good mood and super nice!
ez lit
Great teacher, really enjoyed his class.

I've taken Dr. Dana Cantu's class for three of my English classes and he is probably the BEST professors at STC! His essays are easy and fun, trust me sign up for his class you won't regret it.
Great Professor!!! Hands down best professor at STC! Essays are fun and makes class interestingg!
I was really skeptical on taking English due to the fact that it was my worst subject in public school. Dr. Cantu is one of the best English professors at South Texas College. He will guide you through the entire process when it comes to assignments as well as lectures. He does assign daily journals & 4 essays. I will be taking him again soon.
There is hardly any substantial work. We watched documentaries and wrote about them. The extent of his feedback was "great start!" Every day we discussed something happening in the news and wrote about it. You will not know where you stand until the day of the final. It's hard to take this class seriously when it is so easy.
One of the Greatest teachers I have taken. His class is never boring always something new everyday. Really recommend him, I took him for 1301 & 1302.
He is really funny and laid back goes off topic a lot i would definitely take him again !!
Dr. Cantu is an amazing instructor. His lectures are interesting and funny.
Hes a great professor. Always in a good mood! I would definitely recommend anybody to take Dr. Cantus class! You will not be disappointed
I loved Dr. Cantus class. This was the type of class that i did not mind going because it was so fun. He has so many funny stories to tell and I enjoyed listening to them. The assignments are super easy and you will pass the class if you do the work youre supposed to do.
The is class is easy since there wasn't a lot of essays or assignments. Most of the time, he would ask students to read a short story or poem before lecture, but nothing too demanding. He is cheerful, inspiring, and funny. He expect student to participate in activities. However, you won't your grade in class because he procrastinate on grading.
Best professor Ive ever had! Show up to class and do your essays and youll pass !
Dr. Dana Cantu is an amazing professor! hes a good listener and is very reasonable, you write about a total of 4 essays throughout the whole semester. The book is rarely used. I definitely recommend him. Hes really funny and class is fun and interactive.
Dr. Cantu is the best professor! Hes lectures are the best. You will get essays but 2-pages long, which is nothing compared to other professors. Best professor in STC.
Professor is very knowledgeable on english.
Mr. Cantu gives exciting lectures which makes them easy to understand. Students got the opportunity to get creative/poetic and I could tell we all had a lot of fun. I recommend Cantu for an amazing English class experience! One of a kind teacher. Second time taking him and I will miss his classes.
Dr. Cantu is hilarious and a really interesting character. The course work is fairly easy and doesn't take a lot of effort to complete. Overall he's an amazing guy and does a good job at teaching the class. I highly recommend him.
An amazing professor , Always bring interest topics to class.
You do have to go to class to write the mini essays about the days topic, he does attendance through that. Overall, it is worth going to his class, he keeps the class engaged understanding not everyone is great at writing but that there is always room for improvement. I would definitely take his class again!
He is an amazing profesor!!! :) The best English profesor to be honest, easy class, I highly recommend him Thank you Dr. Cantu!!! You are the best

I highly recommend his class, easy A+, he also give hilarious
Dr. Cantu is a pretty great professor. He was recommended to me by one of the security guards that said he was one of the more seeked out English professors. New essay is given about every week or two, very easy. Do your assignments, and show up and you'll do great in his class. Not lecture heavy, keeps the class entertained while teaching.

After having a very rough semester i can say Mr. Cantu is so far the best professor i ever had. He does give work You do need to work for your A but it will be easy because he teaches enlish with alot of passion. I didnt know how to write essays before his class, but after his class im really confident. If you want an A you have to work for it.
I loved taking this professor! I am not an English Major, I took English II just for basic credit for my bachelor's. I hate essays/papers, but papers weren't assigned a lot at all. The papers are very do able and I actually had fun doing them considering I hate doing essays in general. Always go to class, at times brief work is turned in at the end
You won't regret taking this class.
Let me just say, Mr. Cantu has been the best professor I've ever had. He's so hilarious and loves to talk about his personal life. All he does is show documentaries and for us to write just a 2 page essay about them. No textbook required. The class is so easy to pass, just show up. TAKE HIS CLASS, YOU WONT REGRET IT!!
he is a great professor, he tries to everybody understand, funny class. I highly recommend.

Dr. Dana Cantu is one of those professors who actually makes a college education worth it. He is one of the few educators that truly believes in potential, creates culturized students and unknowingly pushes you to your best potential. Be ready to open your mind to taboo topics, and to leave prejudice and closemindedness at the door.
Amazing Professor, loved his class!
Dr. Cantu is by far one of my favorite teachers, he makes learning fun and interesting, and I always found moments in which I wanted to participate to state my opinions on the topics he presented. Great teacher, and easy A if you do your part.

The best English professor ever!!
Great profesor, makes class very interesting and fun!
Really easy class. Gives plenty of time to turn in your essays. He accepts late work. Such a hilarious person and makes class very interesting. As soon as you start his class on the first day you will walk out with a new friend. When I say that he is the best I'm not joking. I got mad when registering for classes because his class got fulled up.
This man is the best professor at STC! He really knows how to explain subjects using real life funny situations, which makes it easier to understand. He is hilarious and very caring!

Professor Cantu is the best teacher I have ever had. His class was super stress free and very fun. I took him for Intro to Literatrue and we only did two take home assignments which he gave us a week to do. We only took two test which were out midterm and final and thats it. We watched movies, read poems and had rap battles. Highly recommend!!!!!!
I loved this class just like I loved taking 1301 with him too. It is so easy and he does not stress you out or make the assignments difficult. All we did was watch movies or documentaries then write papers on them. I wrote about 4-5 2 pg essays and the rest were 1-page essays you do in class. The final was an essay and there were no group projects.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!! TAKE HIM, YOU WOULD NOT REGRET
Show up and you pass and no book needed

Mr. Cantu is one of the best professor I have had in STC. Highly recommend his class.
Great teacher. Will work with you if you are having problems. Wish I would have found him sooner. Makes class enjoyable.
They are patient and they care!
Dr. Cantu is such an outstanding individual; he possesses an incredible charisma, and really makes general learning & literary articulation fun. A blessed bloke indeed. Throughout the semester, he will give you 6 essays in total. The first 2 are easier, the next 3 require a works cited page, and the last one is a two-page essay from the final exam.
Mr. Cantu's is easy and fun. He loves to interact with the students and make them feel welcomed.

Dr. Cantu is probably one of the best professors at STC! We had to turn in our journals every 2-3 weeks which consisted of at least 10 pages and any extra page written equaled to extra credit. We also wrote a total of 4 essays and had to give a presentation the second to the last week of school about one of our hobbies. He'll make you laugh a lot!!
Dr. Cantu is an amazing professor. He is very funny and his classes are never boring. he gives you enough time to complete and turn in your assignments on time. Doesn't give pop quizzes. You do have to write notes but it's not a lot. I would definitely take his class again.

Dr. Cantu is one of South Texas College's most inspirational professors, having been a community college student himself, he truly understands what it takes to push his students to the next level. At the beginning of all his lectures, you are greeted with enthusiasm, and there is never a dull moment in his teachings. Amazing professor and human.
He is an amazing, funny, awesome professor. I honestly thought he was going to be a difficult professor, but it turns out that he was the exact opposite. He makes the class very fun and entertaining with journal entries we have to do. No textbook required, worth taking his class you won't regret it.
Dr. Cantu is a dope ass professor! At first, I was very nervous because I hated to write essays but as time went on; Dr. Cantu gave me confidence to write. He's very funny and has a very laid back personality. We wrote about 5 essays and kept a journal log. if you need to take English, take Dr. Cantu!!!! You won't regret it. He's a real cool dude!

He is the most understanding professor and he is very kind and funny and he is easy going. He responds ti messages very quickly
HE COOKED. He was real, but he did not grade my late work; I was working overnight shifts. The essays were easy, but in the end, they were 7-8 pages long. I had to step up my essay skills since I have not written an essay since 2019. TAKE HIM HE IS SO EASY AND FUN.
Mr.Cantu class was an easy A. Each week there was a discussion and quiz on the lectures. He provides the book but you can get by with only the lectures. I believe there was around 6 Essays between 3-5 pages. Be prepared to write all essays in MLA format, read a lot of articles and cite everything. He gives great feedback and is an easy grader.
