DO NOT TAKE this teacher unless you want to kiss up for a good grade. While he is a nice guy, he lets his emotions get in the way of being fair to everyone. On good days you will love him but ... DO NOT GET ON HIS BAD SIDE! Other than that the class is fairly easy except for the fact that the test questions can be obscure and TRICKY.

He is funny sometimes, and some of the study guide is just like the test, but if he doesn't like you, you can forget geting a good grade in this class. He generally picked his favorites by week 2. Also, he tends to put questions on his tests that have more than one possible answer. My best advice-stay on his good side.

An extremely easy class, but you need to show up to class everyday to get an A. This is due to pop quizzes. 4 tests throughout the year worth 55% of grade, and the final exam is worth 25%. One in class presentation. We had one easy homework assignment. Only two extra credit opportunities.

Skip class? You won't pass.

Great guy! He gives a few extra credit opportunities and theres only 3 homework's! He gives you a study guide a week before the test and everything on the study guide is on the test. He also posts the slides a week before the test. He is willing to help you whenever you need! 10/10 recommend.

Awesome dude. He's really funny and you can have good conversation with him before and after class. Don't be late and don't smart off, he WILL say someting to you and you might not like it. The class is the easiest class i've ever taken and everything is multiple choice. 11/10 would reccomend.

professor Quinones is an amazing professor and person. He starts the class everyday wishing everyone a good day/week and humor. This class is an EASY A but teaches you very valuable things you can use in life. Show up take notes and pass the tests. No homework, no quizzes, just oral presentation. Professor Quinones is a very sweet man.

Dr. Q was an awesome professor. I took him for stress management. There were total of 4 assignments, midterm and a final. 2 of the assignments were optional for EC. Show up, look over the slides, and participate and you'll get an A.

I enjoyed the class but there were some days when it seemed like he was a bit harsh on some students. We had to create a slideshow and one of the students misspelled food "desert" and was told off for getting the entire assignment wrong and the student had to explain it was just a typo and not actually about desserts.

One of the best professors I've ever taken! Super easy but interesting class! There are only 4 assignments for the class, excluding the midterm and final. Attendance isn't mandatory; I went to maybe half of the classes and passed with an A. Just make sure you do the assignments and read the slides and you'll pass!

Post COVID all assignments and tests are online but its still great to go to class to earn your attendance grade. In-person or online he's funny! He overshares but thats the fun part of his class. He's passionate about the subject and just wants students to be aware of the material. Nice, kind, caring, easy going, shall I go on? He's the best.

Attendance and participation is big in his class. YOU'RE GOING TO NEED TO BOOK. Stress management stressed me out. He makes snarly remarks at times be aware. When he's not great lectures and class. Will not take him as a professor ever again. I had high A's in all my classes and got a low B in his. LOTS OF READING. Two homework assignments only.

I just want y'all to know that he doesn't respect students especially people that ask him questions. He keeps telling our class that our section is the least academically active. He rants for 15mins about students asking him questions saying "they don't pay attention." The class homework and tests are easy but he's just really passive aggressive.

I love Dr. Q! He's super kind and helpful. I took his online HSC 1100 class—it was really easy and enjoyable. He gives 1–2 months for homework and discussions, and due dates are super flexible. Tests are open note/book with no Honorlock. Lots of SmartBook assignments, but you have plenty of time to finish everything.
