I do recommend you guys to take his class. He's wonderful and considerate!
This teacher is the best teacher on campus. VERY inspirational. teaches you english but more importantly he teaches you about life. I wish he would teach EWRT 1A cause this guy is the man. Really fun, young energetic and insprational. You want to be his best friends so you can become a better person!!!!
Jesus Quintero is the type of teacher you don't frequently come across. Class wont be a problem as long as your work is done. He teaches you to succeed, and to do that he provides you with, more than academic, Life advice. Quintero will always ask how you are and will shamelesly tell you that he loves you. His dedication truly makes him outstandin
he is extremly fun and he is jus t such a cool teacher. he makes the class interesting and is really understanding. he is the best english teacher i have ever had at deanza. You have to take him you wont regret it
i totally love him this is my very first quarter at de anza and he just encourages me to try my best and then i can for sure succeed school and do whatever i want to do in life. he will teach you how to overcome your fears if you need help...i totally admire this teacher he is awesome and inspiring =D
great english professor. very respectful and also very fun =) enjoy his class~
This is the best ****en teacher ever! he always encouraged us to do our best and to keep on striving. I transfered immediately to sjsu after but his teachings helped my imagination for my future.
Finally a teacher that not only teaches the material but goes so far beyond it, making this class so interesting to everyone!! I can honestly say he gave me alot of confidence in my writting and developed critical thinking in all students
Jesus is one of the seriously one of the chillest profesor at DeAnza. Hes really laid back but I still respect him a lot. He really go out of his way to help his student and make them to help them. Before each essay, he litterally outline it out on the board so that we can write the essay better. You must be stupid to not take this class!
he is a great guy, i think he is the one who teach with full energetic! i'm sure u will enjoy his class, and he'll cares all the people in class!marvelous!!!
Quintero is in all honesty the best teacher that I've had so far at De Anza. You can tell he loves to teach, and he's incredibly nice. He wants student to succeed, and develop as writers. He's willing to meet with students one on one and help; which is something a lot of teachers aren't willing to do. I'm taking his class now and enjoy it.
Chuy is hands down the BEST teacher at DeAnza. He not only teaches from the soul but his passion for your success and his determination to help you with your writing is AMAZING. If you need help, he will be there. TAKE THIS CLASS, WIN WIN !!!!!
Chuey is the man. There is no teacher I can relate too more, highly recommend him for English. Big Ups Pimpin'!
he is funny and adventerous
He is an awesome teacher!! A little crazy but that is just his passion for teaching. He grades fair but instead of nit picking at your essay he elaborates on how to improve it. He is very helpful and justt wants everyone to succeed. Not an easy A but if you try and do the work your fine. Highly recommend him!
CHU-DAWG (aka Jesus)!! This dude is HELLA legit! I admire his passion behind what he spits! I use to attend school just to go through the motions of living an "ordinary" life!! Chuy has truly changed my perception of school for the better. He gave me a reason to wanna show up everyday, even in the midst of my family struggles!!(YOU ROCK, bro!!)
Thee best fckn teacher ! Hands down !! No joke :D
he is supportive.:D
GREAT TEACHER!
best teacher that I have had so far at de anza, he can somehow relate to students, and make the class fun, you will learn a lot about being a good writer, don't take his kindness for granted, he works very hard to ensure that everyone is up to par, and makes sure you're on track, highly recommend him.
one of the best professor out there, he really cares about his students and he try very hard to get along with all the students. he is hilarious and super chill. take his class, you wont regret it.
He is such a awesome guy. While I took his class, I had so much fun. He just want his students to be a good person. I will take his class again. Don't listen hater.
Professor Quintero is the best professor I've ever met. He will teach you a lot of things. Not only in writing, he will also help you whenever you need him. Would definitely take his class again.
Awesome professor who genuinely cares about the well-being of students as well as the education they receive. Guaranteed to make you laugh a few times a day - however, he makes you write a LOT. But it's fun.
Buckle up for a wild and crazy ride with Chuy at the helm. Be careful though, while you're having all that fun you just might learn something too. He's the most genuinely supportive teacher I've ever had in many years of taking classes. He's a mentor to his students, not just for the subject matter, but for life as well. He wants us all to succeed.
Chuy is, and will probably continue to be, my favorite teacher at De Anza. He makes you write a lot (duh) but he's really into what you write and he really cares about how you feel about your writing; he gives really deep feedback on how to improve and mold the things you're writing. Even if your thing isn't English or writing, DO give it a shot!
He is just like his name "Jesus." If you want a compassionate teacher, I say go for this guy cause he is awesome and freaking hilarious. He is one of the coolest teachers in the world I would say.
He is one of the best writing teachers here in De Anza. He is relatable and very funny. A lot writing and reading so you need to keep up. But he tries his best to make sure everyone improves their writing. I would definitely take his class again just to hear his funny jokes.
Honestly I have never meet such an inspirational motivating professor. What I love most about his class is that he makes you write papers that matter and that comes from your heart. There are no words to describe how good of a professor chuy really is.
Best teacher at De Anza! Respected and loved by all of his students. Super motivating and inspirational. He cares about all of his students and always gives his best to help you. Very funny lectures where you also learn and laugh a lot. I would always take him again if I get the chance.
I highly recommend taking his classes EWRT 211 or EWRT 1A. He is super super good teacher that I've taken in my winter quarter at De Anza College. The reason he is good because he is always there for you and always help you all the way through.
He cares about his students. As someone who was struggling with life, he would take time after class to make sure if I was doing O.K. with my personal problems. His approach to teaching is about people first, school second, which is unique and refreshing.
He is the best professor ever!! Take him!
I love going to his class. He is different and a little crazy in a good way. The stuff he does and teaches has helped me with writing but the way he teaches it is hella wild. LOL!
He's just like his name--Jesus. He is a real teacher, the best I have ever met. He is always helpful. He even sacrifices his holidays to meet with students, to help essays. He is so knowldagableable that can lecture for the entire class time. You will never get bored because his speech is always inspring and interesting. I repspect him. Take him!!!
BEST English teacher EVER, period. He cares about you, his class is super chill and fun. Has great personality, assignment are easy. Would take him every time, highly recommended.
He is super chill and cares about his students. Isn't afraid to express what is on his mind (tends to swear a lot). Papers are an easy A as long as you actually work on it and have no grammatical or syntax errors. Class can be missed but I'd advise you show up to his entertaining class... you're missing out if you don't.
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.
Not the best lecturer since he often rambles about various things, but you really get to know him and feel like a part of the class. He becomes your friend fast.
Fantastic guy. He mostly focuses on critical thinking; he'll help you make connections between the readings he assigns. He helps as many people as he can. I barely knew how to write and he would be there for me when I asked for help; he is very approachable. There was never a dull moment in his class. If you get a chance, take him!!
Overall an amazing teacher, lectures were straight forward and very engaging. Hes a fantastic guy and geuinely cares about each individuals success. The work is not too overwhelming and you truly learn from all the writing he assigns. He goes above and beyond his job. If you have the chance, please take him!! He is the english "Jesus"
Let me just start off by saying I have never met a more personable, caring professor in my life. Not only is he a great english professor providing students with the confidence necessary to write, but he genuinely cares about his students in and outside of class. He devotes time to his students despite a busy life. His value is truly priceless.
Professor Quintero's class was the most significant education I received while attending De Anza College. Coming from a non-native English background, I always struggled to compose well-written papers. Not only was the English language a barrier, but especially formulating well-structured arguments, with which I have struggled since high school.
...(Continued) Professor Quintero challenged me to question any given norm in society, and ultimately shaped the mindset I have today. Thanks to him, I now study at UC Berkeley.
Honestly the best teacher I have ever had. I hate English. But this teacher made the class actually enjoyable. He shows a lot of care for his students and takes time out of his busy schedule to work with his students. He's more of a friend than a teacher. The course itself is relatively easy, as he will help you if you are struggling.
The best professor there is. I hate english. This teacher actually made his class enjoyable. He genuinely cares for his students, takes time of his busy schedule to work with them. The course is very easy. he'll help you easily. He's also quite funny and hilarious, keeps the class engaged. He actually makes the class fun.
It's crazy. He always says he is busy and wants to be respected, but he does not respect the student. If you are a good student, you can get good grades. The lecture is not smooth and you do not know what he wants.
WORST ENGLISH EVER. He is always talking about his life. He doest teach. spend so much money on his textbooks and hardly ever touch them in class. His a horrible teacher doest teach on how to improve on writing. His always telling stories about his parents and about him. He shouldn't be in the English.
I can't believe so many people writing he is the best teacher. For me, he is the WORST English teacher I have ever had in this college. He pretends to be a good teacher who cares about student's life, but in reality, he just wants to talk about how his life is and has never taught us ANY writing stuff. A lecture is extremely unclear as well.
Lots of off-topic rambling. Didn't hand our work back, so we didn't know what to revise. Unclear assignment parameters. Not a good choice if you want to improve your writing and get solid feedback.
Best english teacher I ever had, not only does he help with your easy but he also takes his time to give you feedback this was my last try and i can't believe i passed he makes the class so interesting and reading are not boring at all there short stories and interesting topics .
Quintero really is my favorite professor at De Anza. Please take him. The content he teaches is very relevant and interesting, and the way he teaches is hilarious. He makes every single class worth coming to. I've even started crying from laughing so hard a couple times. He also gives amazing feedback on assignments. Also helped me with my UC apps!
hes very unclear and teaches mostly irrelevant things. very unneffective as a teacher.
Jesus, is a great guy, I just didn't think he took the class seriously. I was ore talking and watching videos and movies than actual work on english and papers. There was not really a constructive way to write in this class, but if you like it that way than this class is for you.
Jesus is a caring guy, but I think he does not take the class(211) that seriously
He goes through the lecture slides incredibly fast and there's so much material you're expected to write down. Don't take this class.
Get your money ready by the first week cause he'll make you buy books and if you don't have it by the first week, you're out. Anyway I think he's okay, he doesn't take thing serious tho, maybe there's something you'll learn in there but it's a pretty chill class.
Professor Quintero is literally the best professor at De Anza... I don't care what anyone has to say about it. His books actually helped me become a better writer! not to mention he genuinely cares if you pass his class. Yeah the class is easy, but its engaging and actually interesting. TAKE HIM YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.
He didn't tell my grade before final day. A lecture is extremely unclear as well. He is lazy, foolish.
Love this Professor so much!!!!!
Professor Quintero is such an easy teacher. I always get A's in his essays, well 1 B on an essay. Overall, his class is not too hard, it's pretty easy. Just do your essays and you'll do fine. Last quarter, we didn't have a final for his class and we had tamales. I would take him again, but I'm done with EWRT.
Jesus was the most laid back chill professor I ever encountered. He was also pretty funny and his lectures would be unpredictable. His class is based on 3 essays and almost no work. This class is an easy A only if you actually put effort in your essays otherwise you will prob end up with a B
BEST ENGLISH PROFESSOR EVER!!!!
I would definitely recommend taking Jesus Quintero's classes. He is extremely helpful and approachable. He gives a lot of useful tips on how to achieve the highest grades possible. His grading system is very clear and if you follow all his advises, then there's a good chance of getting good grades.
Professor Quintero was the best teacher I ever had at De Anza, his grading criteria was clear and he was extremely helpful. He provided amazing feedback and truly cared about the success of his students.
One of the best prof I've ever taken. Super chill, very caring towards his students and would do his absolute best to help us get an A+. Although his lectures can be quite boring, I really enjoyed writing the essays for this class. EWRT2: 3 papers, tons of reading materials (i mean, wht do u expect from a critical thinking class?) TAKE HIS SECTION!
Took Jesus for EWRT 1A and EWRT 211. He isnt very clear on what he wants in his essays and expects us to know what he wants when he returns our rough draft back to us to revise. His lectures are confusing and doesnt relate to the essay. Some class periods he would talk about what car he test drove and spent the whole class on that and thing else.
He is a super chill guy. He will make you do something really randomly. You will also never understand what is he trying to teach in class. But the best things is he will let you revise your essay if you go meet him in person. He isn't a responsible teacher because when he promise you that he will be in office but you will ended up meeting no one..
Professor Quintero is one of the best professors here at De Anza, as long as you are on task and do your essays, you will be fine.
Pretty easy class. There were about 4 essays and some other assignments that didn't require a lot of thinking involved. Class was more like thinking outside of the box and you'll pass. Very nice but not organized. Never knew my grade until I saw my transcript.
He was the best EWRT professor I had, and the most carrying, He is very funny and will make you want to go to his lecture. He doesn't give much HW if at all, just a few essays that he will point you in the right direction so you can get an A. The only flaw I'd say is that what he wants is not always clear at first, so make sure that you ask him.
Professor Quintero is a really funny and entertaining professor. He really cares about everyone and tries to to get all the students involved. He is also genuinely passionate about the material he teaches and tries to make his students not only better writers but individuals as well. He also gives solid feedback on essays.
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. Would take him again!
This class would be better if it was in person. However, I do want to point out that homework and essays are not clearly explained. Making a chat with fellow classmates is the best thing you can do if you take him to help each other out. I found myself having to guess how to do assignments. A lot of last minute assignments! Easy grader though
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.
Very funny and enjoyable teacher.
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.
