I really learned a lot from this class and opened my mind a bit more, much more than an English class. He is a relatively easy grader on essays. He does want everyone to succeed. There are a lot of reading assignment questions to help boost your grade. His eccentric and caring personality makes the class! Definitely not your typical college class.

Probably the best English professor you can take. Class is structured around 3 essays. Each week you meet twice and go over content for an assignment. Only downside is sometimes the class can feel rushed since assignments may be due the same day they're taught/assigned. But, the assignments are pretty easy. All books are free.

Wouldn't take again

Super unorganized course especially during summer session. Adding / removing homework, the day of it due. The homework instruction is very unclear and always provide false information , super hard to understand. The professor doesn't really care about teaching. He is trying really hard to be your bro, but doesn't bother to teach anything valuable

writing my review before fall registration starts; its apparent he hasn't online courses before. there's a LOT of hw, some of it due the same day it was assigned. his canvas is really disorganized which is a pain. his class is just him talking the entire time, i wouldn't say its a hard class but it definitely isn't easy. look elsewhere if possible

Easy A+, but you have to work for it. Lots of busy work, readings, responding to questions, discussions, etc., but very straightforward and doable. Extremely easy grader, around 4 essays all with 90%+ class averages. Has Zoom meetings, but they are optional. Very entertaining and kind professor who truly wants you to do well. Would recommend.

Quintero is very chill. The textbooks and himself give great advice for organizing an essay. this was his 1st time teaching SUM quarter so canvas was sorta disorganized. All of my 4 essays was graded a 90%+. just make sure you include everything he wants you to have in ur paper. HW is a lot of reading on how to do an essay & it was super helpful.

overall poorly organized and explanation. also expect about 10 assignments due the first week. instructions come in full pages including hour long videos, reading multiple chapters and essays, some of the assigned materials are provided in pictures of pages out of a book... ??. changes to assignments and due dates the day they are due.

Don't take his online class if you can, the instructions on canvas are often vague and overly compilated. Late policy is unless you have a good reason he doesn't accept it witch is very strange for an asynchronous class, and there is a lot of reading to be done on a daily basis that is due that day.

he's cool I'm taking him right now, its not hard necessarily, just feels like a lot of busy work. Decent amount of readings from books, and response/reading journals for you to write. He's really understanding of circumstances though.

He seems very friendly and highly encourages asking for help. However, there is a lot of work to do. Many of the assignments require reading long pdfs and responding in small paragraphs. He's not very specific with his instructions, so there was a lot of confusion. I wouldn't recommend online classes with him, but maybe IRL classes would be better.

He truly cares for you if you reach out and show your willingness to do your work. He grades all assignments well, essays he cares more about grading-wise. Very flexible when it comes to turning things in late due to outside issues. The way he explains assignments is confusing but if you reach out he does clarify.

This class is srsly overloaded plz beware. He seems like a rlly nice guy, which would've been great in person, but this is dl and all of his works are overloaded. There's A LOT to read and u'll be spending a minimum of 2 hrs on this class per day (if ur lucky) So I suggest u only take this class if u have time, but u do learn to write A LOT better.

I like him as a teacher and some of his lectures, but sometimes he talks about random stuff during class and it makes no sense. Some of the readings are also confusing but some are really interesting! He is super kind and understanding if you need help or extra time. I would say I have learned a lot on this class, I just wish he was more organized.

Not sure why there are so many bad reviews recently because I took him in person and he is awesome. He has so much enthusiasm and really cares about every single student giving them a high-five. He is really smart and knows what he is talking about and you can always reach out to him if you need help. Overall one of the best teachers I've ever had.

if you go to his office hours to help, he is the best for explaining things; however, in his lectures, he is not gonna be working professional or corporate talker, instead, he is very straight forward to talk dope way haha, I would definitely recommend his lectures

Jesus, is a remarkably open-minded and humorous professor, maintains a laid-back and chill demeanor. While I enjoyed his classes, I noticed his grades based on english writing proficiency, which seemed unfair. Achieving an A requires hard effort, I recommend studying his writing style from his examples.

I took Mr. Quintero in person for EWRT1 and EWRT2 and he's probably the best professor I've ever had. Like others said he can be a little bit unorganized and unclear with projects sometimes but he's a great person and instructor and is very motivating. As long as you show up and try his class is an easy A and he's also really funny.

Fair warning, he curses a lot. His class wasn't like any other english class I've taken. More like a philosophy class really. But fun nonetheless I gave him a 3 (average) because the essays he makes you do are kind of hard because of the prompt, but ask him and he'll explain it to you. Goes off-topic a lot though.

The professor maintains a laid-back demeanor, but the course requires a lot of effort. While the lectures can be enjoyable, the grading is challenging. Using resources like Unstuck AI for study prep can be very helpful.

Most inspirational professor I think I'll ever take, truly cares about his work. His assignments can be confusing, but is really good with responding to emails and clearing things up. Very funny, laidback and interactional with class. Can drop assignments at the last minute but if you do a good outline of the questions he will give you 100%!!

Awesome professor: shows up to class when he wants, he daps me up at every sentence, and has a desire for all of his students to succeed. I suck at writing, but 12 weeks with him has made me improve a lot. He teeters on the brink of insanity & intelligence; You won't be bored when you come to class. Sit in the front-middle for optimal results.

Gives tons of work that each are long, but he doesn't care about late work and he grades rlly easily. He yaps a lot and tbh I wouldn't survive a class longer than 50 min. He's super nice and curses a bunch, but he goes off topic rlly easily and it's kinda annoying. I would rec finding an online class first but as a second choice, he's not bad.
