Great professor
Mr.Duenas is above wonderful;he's such a great teacher, and super cool. If you love to learn and want a teacher who cares I recommend him.
He's a good professor but when it comes to certain papers he grades kind hard. he can be a little annoying at certain times. we had to do a research paper as the final grade which as very stressful but got through and did well in the end. He is very helpful and he does work with you on things
Professor Duenas is the best.He is always available to help you. He's very kind,patient,and nice. He wants to see you success, so if you don't understand anything, go to his office. I strongly recommend Professor Duenas. You will learn from him.
Professor Duenas is the best.I for Enc0015 and Enc0025. I had problem with my essays, but Professor Duenas helped me with them until I got them right. The point is if come to him for help, he will not refuse you. He will work with until you got it right. 1101 is easy for me now thx him. I highly recommend Professor Duenas for your English classes.
Prof Duenas was amazing!! easiest class ever, he helped me understand a lot! you will definitely see a difference in your essays after taking him!!
He is a great professor. He will help you clarify anything you need. He likes to makes jokes. Buy the books that are required. You can borrow a friend's book during assignments, but not for exams. He assigns essays and readings.
Great professor. Likes to make jokes. Assigns readings and essays.
Best english teacher ever.
college degrees. speeches. motivator. bald.
Very helpful, loves to make jokes. Wants you to pass his class and is willing to help you. Best Professor.
I currently take Professor Duenas for ENC1101, and I must say he is an INCREDIBLE teacher. The class is extremely easy, but you will still learn how to improve your writing abilities significantly. Does not give many test or quizzes, and loves to give extra credit. He gives you many chances. I would take him for EVERY class if I could. EASY A!
He's The BEST teacher in the world , he's willing to help all of his students no matter what. if your confused about something , he will help you understand , I learned a lot from him about Enc and Life. office hours go meet with him , the best thing I ever done in my fall semester.
Professor DueƱas is great. Deadlines for his online class are fair. All the assignments are easy as well as the quizzes and tests. Midterm is proctored and its an easy essay. No Final. Four essays are expected and that includes the final research paper. Do the work and youll pass. Only negative comment is that he takes forever to grade work.
Incredible professor!! His classes are really dynamic, so he tries to use games and different learning styles to make it easier for students to understand the topics discussed in class.I learned a lot with with him. Now I feel more comfortable and secure when I have to write something for other classes. I would highly recommed this professor :)
He is an amazing professor, he helps you as best as he can. He jokes a lot and makes the class interesting. If I can take his class I definitely will. He is a great teacher, just make sure to have his work done and you will defiantly pass.
I took this class online and I must say, I hated it. The grading took forever and I never knew my grade until the day before grades were posted. I wish he would've put up grades faster; my only complaint.
He is a nice person, but he took a really long time to grade our papers. I am surprised that I passed because in the last two days before grades were due he was still putting them in. He explained to the class that he has a lot on his plate this semester, but I believe he could have done better job. I hope next semester it'll be better.
He is a good teacher, the tasks are clear, but it took him so long to grade the homework. He gave me comments on my essays only at the end of the semester.
He is a very good professor, gives excellent feedback in the assignments and assists all the students improve their writing
Awesome professor, a little slow to grade but good lectures...I learned a lot about APA
A really great professor who cares about his students. He will guide you through any help that you need. He does tend to talk a lot sometimes but he is funny and chill. Totally taking another class he is teaching. :)
He's a cool teacher but there are some no-no's. Takes a while to grade assignments. He has jokes making him pretty funny but sometimes the jokes get out of hand. Talks a bit too much sometimes going over a few minutes of class because he gets carried away haha but he's an OK...
Does not respond to emails timely if at all. Does not give clear instruction. Takes forever to grade assignments. Worst experience to date.
He is truly an amazing professor that cares for his students. Gives homework and allows you to play catch up if needed. Take his class! You'll enjoy showing up every time because it is never a dull moment in class.
Professor Duenas is a very cool teacher who no one should have difficulty passing. The homeworks were Easy and understandable, you can always find him in his office if you need help. You get 2 chances to miss class and don't be late for his class a lot !
This teacher is amazing!!! He saved my life, if you show him that you want to pass and care he'll help you any day anytime, i was taking the class online and had a hard time keeping up he helped me a lot. Stay on top of your due dates, start your essays ahead of time and think about your research paper topic and brainstorm. EASY A class!
Great Proffesor!
I would not recommend him for ENC 1102. He gives extremely too much homework and class work, especially essays. He takes forever to grade papers and he talk's way too much and off topic. He excepts your writing to be perfect sometimes. Be carefully cause he would fail you last minute that's what happen to me. He is strict on attendance too.
Very funny professor, tends to go off topic but overall pretty cool guy. The textbook and workbook were not needed even though he said it was mandatory. I recommend him for enc 1101 on the summer term, quick and easy A.
He is great! very caring, funny, and very smart, I had him for a mini term and class flew by quick, I would definitely take him again
Professor Duenas is such a caring person, I promise you he is just like a teenager and he talks a lot but it is interesting! This was one of the easiest class I have taken literally 3 essays and 2 discussion topics and you're done! We would do some online assignments as well but super easy! just do the work and you will pass!
not a good a teacher also talking about other things never really teaches all he do is take talk about things that are not important
Professor Duenas was an amazing teacher .If you pay attention in his class you will stay on track i really do not understand how people received an F the assignments are straight foward and he explains things in a way that students will understand he cares about his students and i will totally take him again
THIS IS THE WORST PROFESSOR EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! do not take him for ENC1102 this professor do not know how to teach he talks about his life more than the lecture and it was really annoying
Prof. Duenas is One of The Amazing English Professors at MDC North. His Lectures Are Very Interesting & Logical to Follow. Even Though He May Go Off-Topic Sometimes, But He is A Great Influence for Students Learning English. Plus, There's No Final. I Had Him for Summer A, And It Was Amazing. I Would Recommend Him as a Professor for ENC1101 & 1102.
Good professor
Great teacher overall, even though he does talk a lot about other things he is a good teacher and gives great feedback if asked for. Honestly would take the class again if I had to!
He was a very good professor. He gets off topic and says some pretty funny/crazy/weird stories and jokes. Although, he did take forever to grade essays which I did not like. If you do all the assignments you should earn an A.
Despite having for a 50 minute class it was a fun experience. He is a funny professor and teaches the subject in a clear manner. And for many people including myself this was the first time I ever wrote a research paper and he really helped along the way and guides you so you can be successful in his class
My first best teacher, and a good listener. Always there to help and answer questions. He's a tough love teacher, you will pass his class if you do your work,participate in class is a plus. Office hours are always open to help the students. All you have to do is ask for help and there he is helping you reach your highest level in learning.
Professor Duenas is one of the best English professors at MDC North. I first had him as my English Professor in Summer 2018. And I Decided To Take Him Again in Fall 2018 for 1102. He Would Most Likely Help You to Succeed and Help You Become A Great Writer. I Would STRONGLY recommend him as a professor ENC1101 & 1102. He is very inspirational.
The best professor ever. I wish it was more teachers like him. ������ he's always ready to help the students. Office hours always open. This teacher care about the students future and career. The best best best. Very understanding , you have to do your work and participate and ready to learn. I wish he was my teacher all through my trade.
This professor goes off topic a lot and is the type of professor to leave the grading till the end of the semester unless you go to his office hours and ask him to grade your paper right in front of you. He does not take advantage of the class time and review what is needed to get an A paper.
The papers aren't graded in a timely manner so be aware of that. On top of that he grades the papers so strict as if English is my major when he comments on it he can't even spell. Just be aware his papers grading is strict.
Go to his office for help , he will help. Wonderful professor. Even if he give up do not give up. great with acccess student
Great professor! I will take him again for ENC 1102.
Not a good professor at all , is an English class and if you use complex English language he will penalize you for it . Unresponsive and careless
I'm taking an online english course with him. At first, everything was good. Now, I send him a course message which is how he instructed the students to communicate with him and no response for over 2 weeks, I send 2 more messages, still no response. The message is about me not being able to submit my essay. Blackboard is disorganized! stay away.
Hes a really cool teacher overall, just tends to get off topic a lot, but actually cares and grades fairly, I recommend if you want a fairly easy A, but obviously one youll have to work for a little. His classes go by fast since hes always popping jokes and talking about life, not a serious and boring teacher like the rest of my professors.
Honestly the worse professor I've ever had to deal with. Not only does he take over 3 business days to respond, but he grades everything last minute. I got an F in this class because "turnitin" wouldn't work by the time he replied my assignment was already past due.. he grades very strictly as well. Terrible. I would never recommend him.
Prof. Duenas is very nice and knowledgeable. He is great at teaching, but he goes on irrelevant rants far to offend often leaving little time of actual class. One big thing is prepare to have nothing graded for a while unless you go to his office and have him grade something on the spot. If you are at least a decent student I highly recommend!
He gives too many assignments and his lectures are always incomplete and inaccurate. He would spend most of class time talking about things that were unrelated to class and when asked questions, he would reply with "I cannot waste class time answering questions". He swears too much and talks about his life too much. Would not recommend.
Avoid taking classes with this man by all means... just avoid it... trust me
Hes a very good professor. You dont have to show up to class, only if you want extra credit. His class is very very easy. Theres a couple of essays. If you have a concern he will email you back quickly and will help you. Hes very nice.
He was a really good professor and very funny
Very easy class with a great professor. Take a class with professor Dueñas if you get the chance, trust me.
At first, I was bit afraid because English is not my best subject but he is an extremely chill professor and the homework is not hard. Just a bunch of quizzes(2 tries),discussion boards and about 3 essays. He does not take off points for late work. He gives you plenty of resources to do well in essays. Just do all the work and you will pass.
I emailed him about the troubles I had adjusting to being fully online which was a mistake. I did work he gave me zeros for. In the email he responded back to me very condescending and unhelpful. I wouldnt recommend having him as a professor if you are looking for guidance when being educated and have questions about topics. :/
Professor Duenas was a great professor. Don't be afraid to ask for help, if anything, he encourages you to do as best you can. If you are determined to succeed then he will help. As far as essays go, he knows what he is talking about, and if you need him to elaborate, ask! He does take a while to grade but he has many students so give him time.
Professor DueƱas is so amazing! Id definitely take his class again. Although he can be very disorganized, he is a very caring teacher. He is fun and interesting to listen to.
talked a lot about his personal life to the point it was uncomfortable, didn't really teach during class just left you to teach yourself. he mostly just ranted about the same things over and over and gave his opinions on whatever was happening in the world at the time. seemed pretty self-absorbed and unfocused and I was lost very often.
Good professor and good class
Be ready for quizzes every week, the answers are online tho. We had like 3 essays (midterm/final), he gave a lot of instructions on how to do the essays, make sure to follow them point by point, if you don't he will lower your grade incredibly. His classes are long and boring, he talks a lot about everything and anything at the same time.
I was warned about this professor but he was pretty good imo. He assigned not too much work. He was a tough grader, but he taught me a lot about APA. he was sweet and down to earth. a little tough but hes a great professor. Easy class in my opinion. and you learn too.
He is not a bad teacher but in class he only talks about his personal life. He does not reply to emails until 3 weeks later and EVERYTHING is graded one day before the semester ends. just dont take him if you want an A.
He is understanding I will say that, but he is super weird. Says extremely out of pocket things that are super back handed towards girls.
His a good professor, his class in not mandatory for face to face. There a total of 3 papers including your final research paper. If you do your second essay the final paper will be easy! He gives good feedback, but he does tend to repeat himself a lot in class and more around a lot. His helpful and the work is not overwhelming.
Great professor offers great feedback. I took his class online and it was a mini term. The only advice I could give is do not leave your final research paper for the last week i made that mistake and I was stressing. I can not reccomend his class enough I submitted many assignments late and he still graded them after I turned it in.
Amazing Professor. Always in a good mood, he will always be there to help you and his teaching is very effective without giving you a ton of work. Definitely recommended not only a great professor but a friend.
Prof. Duenas has been without a doubt the best English teacher I have ever met, in addition to being good at his job, he is an extraordinary person, he knows how to uniquely link class topics with daily life, creating a better understanding for his students.
He is a really good english teacher really nice and just wants for you to succeed. Besides him getting a bit carried away on rants during class, his assignments are very clear he gives plenty of resources to you. I recommend to read the modules on canvas, do not leave the final research paper for last minute, and read his feedbacks.
If I could recommend someone if they need to take a enc 1101. I would recommend Professor Duenas
Professor Duenas is amazing! He always accepts late work and grades them fairly and does not take away points for late assignments. If I could take him again for a class, I 100% would!
Honestly, he's one of the best professors I've ever had.
Professor Duenas is amazing. He always motivates student , this is one of the greatest thing i do appreciate from him. Professor Duenas thank you so much , and i will always talk about you with other student to take your class.
Aside from being in a super dope band called Beat Obsolete, Professor Duenas is absolutely wonderful. He truly cares for his students and goes above and beyond to help you understand. I definitely recommend his class to anyone. Truly a gem in Miami Dade!
Aside from being in an amazing band called Beat Obsolete, Professor Duenas is an absolute gem of a person. He genuinely cares for his students and takes his time to help you understand anything. I learned so much in his class and I'm eternally thankful for him and everything he does!
Loved the way this professor had all the homework's and instructions organized. I chose to have him as my professor for English 1101 & 1102. Made the class super easy and was not a stressful class. He made assignments enjoyable! 100% would recommend him.
Not done with the class yet, but he's a good guy. Easy and fun class, but he takes forever to grade + isn't organized. Another thing to know is that all assignments are weighted the same? But if you miss one your grade drops heavy. He lets you make them up though w/ full credit. Only reason I wouldn't take him again is bc I should've done the CLEP.
I had to come on here and acknowledge Professor Duenas. There are 3 essays and a midterm. He's heavy-handed on assignments but honestly, I don't mind that because it increases your chances of getting a higher grade. He's a passionate speaker, you can tell he knows his stuff and does a fantastic job keeping us engaged. Looking forward to enc1102!:)
All of the assignments are available online and are quite simple, and Professor Duneas is kind, humorous, and smart. The midterm is really simple, its just the basic information you should already know in an essay. Additionally, he discusses a lot of his personal life, which I believe makes him even more entertaining.
He is an amazing professor, and I love his teaching style. He is very hilarious, and I would one thousand percent recommend that you take his class. Assignments are straightforward, and is a fair grader. I love the fact that he gives you more than enough time to complete an assignment, which is very considerate and helpful, unlike most professors.
Very cool and sweet professor, and he is always available to help whenever needed.
Overall not a difficult class. Gives a fair amount of homework but it's not a difficult to complete. He gives 2 attempts after you submit an assignment so once he critiques it you can make adjustments to get a better grade. He also gives extra credit to boost your grade. There is 1 midterm exam but no final exam. The exam wasn't too difficult.
Professor Duenas consistently reviews assignments before they're due, setting high expectations for student success. He values student participation and a genuine desire to learn. Beyond academics, his lectures offer valuable life lessons. He's always willing to provide both academic and personal support. I feel fortunate to have been his student.
Grear professor. If you keep up with his work you are sure to get an A. He is also very good at teaching.
Very sweet, one of the few teachers that actually care about their students even outside of the classroom. Fair amount of assignments that are easy if you follow instructions. Has lots of fun stories and provides extra credit.
I love my time with Professor Duenas. His communication and connection to the class are always there, whether he is teaching or telling life stories. I'm retaking him for ENC1102 and still absolutely love his class, his teaching style is simple and to the point a must-take professor.
Professor Duenas is an awesome teacher who truly cares. His lectures are engaging, and he's always happy to help. For study prep, I found Unstuckstudy and the free textbook super useful. Definitely recommend his class!
best professor one could have. easy to talk to. I feel like ive learned so much. provides the best tips to make writing 10x better, gives templates to follow when writing essays, packbacks, research papers, etc. would 100% take him again. no textbook required, attendance is mandatory and gives extra 5% by the end of semester for full attendance,
Took him for both ENC 1 and 2, he does take a little to grade assignments but he does allow you to resubmit for a better grade. Attendance was 10% of final grade, I got an 89.4 because my attendance was spotty but overall very easy class. All of the assignments were online, and there weren't too many; the assignments we did have were tied together.
Very easy class if you do all your work. There wasn't a midterm or final; there were three overall essays, 10 quizzes, and a few discussion posts. Attendance is important to him, so he gives extra credit if you have perfect attendance. The only downside is that he goes off topic a bit and can make you late for your next class.
A lot of reading but he is a nice professor and gives good feedback on your work! The only thing that got me was the honerlock final which you have to write an essay...it was very stressful.
He's an excellent professor. He explains concepts very clearly and provides a lot of useful information. He also shares sample essays and videos in case you need extra clarification outside of lectures. Most of the work in this class is done on Packback. He offers extra credit, so take advantage of it—it can really help your grade.
