Not a hard class but you really need to be careful with little details in the assigment because that can really affect your grade. There is this one test that if pretty stupid and very unusual that can be tricky and really drop your grade but I would still recommend the class. Its fun.

Fun,I guess,but gives way too much work and even if the work is easy or not he's picky about it, like he cares about small details that other teachers don't. He even gives you a paper explaining exactly how he wants a simple 1 page essay! If your paper is not exact you don't get credit.

Prof. Machado is a good teacher but he is not nice to students. He grades unfairly. The research paper is by his style and is easy. He assigns readings, does quizes and assigns wrting essay for every class meeting. He is late/absent very often. Make sure you get to class on time the first day or you will loose your first 10 point quiz.

This guy is something else. He explains the assignments as he tells a joke, which leads to CONFUSION. If you are serious about getting an A and can't deal with a disorganized teacher don't take him. He is a mess, and has a lot of medical problems which leads to many absences. He also speaks way too fast. Just an overall bad experience.

he's not necessarily a "teacher" since he doesnt really teach, he only talks about the storys you've read for hw and assignment coming up, which he explains how to do in great detail which takes up most of the time. he related everything to a story and exaggerates everything. His class is supposed to be 3 hours but he lets us out in an hour.TAKE HI

if you're really into english dont take this class. its very easy. he doesnt really "teach" but just talks to us about the stories we've read and the assignments coming up, which he explains in great detail which takes up most of the time. the class is supposed to be 3 hrs and he let us out in an hour. hardly any work. TAKE HIM!!!

He seems real nice, but will stab you in the back! He wants things done EXACTLY how he asks. Took him for a mini term and was not fair on his grading. Talks very fast and when I asked for help on the B.S. research paper he told me to ask a student! I Failed! First class ever. Talks about his health and will NOT return your call/email!!!!

I do not recommend this teacher to anyone but a super meticulously organized person. He does not insert your grades until the end (even if he's already graded them), so if you lose one paper you may as well not have done it at all. If you have an emergency situation, he will not excuse it. Otherwise, nice guy, fairly easy class.

The person under me does not know what they are talking about. This is the best ENC proff. you need the book he does give you stories to read and 5 qson quizes which are super simple. he goes step by step with the research paper in his own way so the only way to fail is to not research at all. i got an A. hes great i highly recommend

He talks a lot and sometimes goes off subject,but the stories that says do kind of relate to what he's teaching.The research paper it is not a lot of work but you must follow his guidelines exactly how they appear.Intelligent professor.All the stories that he gives are online,so the book it's not necessary.Quizzes are easy.Easy class.

This professor is straight to the point. He doesn't waste very much time. Read for the quizzes before class, they are easy. And definitely do the research paper. Follow all his guidelines for the research paper and journal entries (he's picky with that). But he's a great teacher and you will definitely enjoy his stories and his class.

Very easy class! Got an A! Go to class the 1st day (that will be your 1st quiz). Go to class on time because you have a quiz right when you get to class (If he assigned a story the class before) 5 question quizzes on stories. DONT but the book, you can find all stories ONLINE! NO way to contact so ask all questions in class!

EASIEST A OF LIFE. You will not learn anything in this class. You need the book cause he assigns stories that you will have a quiz for the following class. He gives one research paper and as long as you follow the outline I'm positive he doesn't read it. Oh, and a few journal entries. Easy peasy lemon squizy.

Really, really funny guy. His class is a joke though. You won't learn much, if at all. He likes to go off topic a lot. Buy the book only for the reading quizzes. The stories are really weird and can be hard to understand at times. Take him, it's impossible to fail.

If you show up and read you will pass for sure, super easy class. but you will learn absolutely nothing at all. his research paper is a complete joke and he cares more about the format than what you actually write. he rarely shows up to class and when he does he expects you to be on top of everything. he expects you to keep track of your grade

An EXTREMELY easy class. All we would do was read stories and maybe get quizzed on them the next class. He has some health problems so he would be absent a few times. The class was an hour and 15 minutes, and he would usually keep us there for half an hour. Take him if you're looking for a very easy A.

First day of class there is a quiz. There is an easy quiz everyday right when class starts. Do not need the book, you can find all stories online. Everything in this class is typed, no in class writing other than the "1 word answer" quizzes. No group work crap. Easy class, but the midterm argument test is confusing. Take for an easy 1102.

He makes you read a story for homework and quizzes you the next day in class. You write five journal entries and one research paper, no midterm or final. You won't learn much, but he lets you leave early often and you'll get an easy A.

You read short stories and then take a short quiz the next class, be on time or you miss it. The stories are interesting, he's a nice person! and he cares, he has health issues and cant provide more time besides that in class. It's an easy A, make sure to complete the research paper, he goes over every step clearly. It was a good class.

The worst professor in the history of academia. Almost never shows up for work and won't warn you he's not coming so you show up for nothing or you have a sub nearly every class. Doesn't keep track of your grade (up to you to keep all graded material) and doesn't communicate with students through email or phone. WORST PROFESSOR EVER! STAY AWAY.

You know.. I had this guy back in 2004. Yes, his dreaded research paper... If you just follow what he says, do what he says, you will get an A. It's not that bad. At FIU I had to do a 75 page paper, big difference from his 7 page paper! If you want to learn and you know how to follow rules, he is a breeze.

Look if you're an English Major this isn't the class for you. I honestly didn't learn much in this class but it was an easy A. He is extremely picky and has very strange little rules but if you follow them you'll be fine. Pop quizzes all the time and one 7 page research paper that isn't all that bad. Again learned nothing but easy A.

One of the better professors I've had, made learning the dry material a lot more fun. There are quizzes every day but as long as you are there for the classes it shouldn't be too hard. He does allow extra credit and will drop the lowest quiz/test grade.
