Great teacher! Had a charismatic way of teaching. It was a delight to be in his class.
I never imagined doing so much work just for an english class. I did all my work and barely passed with a C.
Spectacular teacher. Uses many teaching strategis so you will understand one way or another. Very fair when grading.
HE NEVER SAID NO...WAS ALWAYS WILLING TO HEAR AND GIVE CRITICISM. GREAT PROFFESSOR AND EXTREMELY HELPFUL!!! THANK YOU
He is a really bad professor. He talks a lot in the class, but he does not explain, and he does not help. You are on your own, it's better to take an independent study class.
I loved him. I have a full time job and I'm also a single mother. He was always understanding of my situation and made it a point to help me understand the lessons. He is very laid back but he isn't a free ride. You have to write essays but he doesn't overload. Very good teacher!!!
This is an awesome teacher I am so glad that I had a class with him. If you do your work right and follow his instructions, you will get 90's for sure. He lacks a little in answering your e-mails but other then that, he is awesome. High five...
he is the nicest!!!
I did the class online and was much easier than I expected all you have to do is do the work and email in on time.
WHAT CAN I SAY!!! ESAY EASY EASY!!! MAKE SURE YOU TURN YOUR WORK ON TIME AND READ THE NOVEL (FINAL ESSAY).
Took the class online. BAD IDEA. He does not know what he is doing with Angel.He never updated the grades since Jan and it's April. Very Easy Work, you dont have to do the final research paper. Most of his work was difficult to understand or was never available to view. If you have patience, take him. Easy class. Takes FOREVER to answer e-mails
Great teacher!! Just do your work and you definitely will pass the class.
Great professor! Took this course online. He takes a while to answer e-mails but calling him is much quicker and he responds faster. Lots of work, but easy. Highly recommended.
Have him for virtual. He takes a bit to respond to emails, but he always picks up his phone. He is always willing to help and loves his job. It isn't so much work and he is really, really friendly and helpful when needed. :)
Very good teacher had him for ENC1101.He makes his own handouts that are used in class. Very nice and will help you when needed. Most of the class is writing essays but he makes them simple and he goes over everything he wants on them. A lot of class discussions but is not boring; he likes his students to participate. Taking him for ENC 1102 also.
He is AWESOME!!!!!One of the best professors at Homestead campus. He is very easy to understand and gives easy assignments. Although he gives alot of work it is all very easy work. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
VERY good teacher. We had about 9 essays for the semester. He talks a lot (In a good way) Sometimes he let u start the essays in class. Don't buy the books. It's a waste. We only used them for the first 2-3wks...
Prof. Blanco is awesome! i took him for my first english course. you have to write so many essays (which is the worse part) almost every 2 weeks another one was due, but, i fell in love with the class. never has any tests & rarely h.w. just the essays which he gives pretty good topics.
great
ENC1102: I was a freshman, I had english at 7 in the morning. I missed six classes, I wish I hadn't. Although I passed with an A, I missed a lot simply bc he is an open teacher and the atmosphere is great and he is always open to any progressive suggestions. Definitely take him whether english is your strong subject or not, he is the best!
He is the best teacher i have ever had!!! Love him and i'm trying to find out if he teaches anything else so i can take it : )
I love Prof.Blanco. He inspired me and brought out a person I did not think existed.
He is very nice. Lets you know everything you need, and grades fairly. He is a excellent prof.
He is a great professor. The writing assignments were easy. He explains and gives samples for each essays. There are about 11 or 12 essays total, but they are easy. You should take him! You are guaranteed to pass.
He is a great teacher! I took him online for enc1101 and enc1102. His class was very easy, he is extremely helpful and understanding!!! I loved him and I think you should definitely take his class!!!!
He is goofy and his test are hard if you don't take the time to read each poem over and over...but he cares about his students and is very interesting!!
Currently taking his online course and its too much work. 5 modules to complete, 3 essays and a final project. EACH module consists of SEVERAL(7-10)readings to summarize, two grammar quizzes & an overall quiz for the module. Its not hard but you have to put in A LOT of time and effort. He has given an extra credit assignment so far worth 100 points
Hes an amazing teacher.... the BEST I have encountered... He truly cares about his students and has a passion for teaching.... English was never my strongest subject but with him I learned to love it and im looking forward to taking it next semester again =)
Great teacher overall. Taking his online section. He gives a lot of work but no exams. You will write 3 essays and a final paper with a PowerPoint presentation. Lots of discussion posts to do but gives about 3 weeks to finish them once assigned. He doesn't grade assignments right away. Can sometimes take weeks. Overall I would take him again.
HE WAS A VERY GOOD TEACHER, VERY EASY TO PASS...I THOUGHT I WILL PASS WITH A C BECAUSE I MISSED 3 ESSAYS BUT PASSED WITH THE A CAUSE I HAD HIGH SCORES ON THE REST
Blanco is an amazing teacher took him for a mini term. Did quite a few essays(if you hate writing don't take him)they are easy especially if you follow his directions. Easy A if you can listen. He prepares you for each essay and gives you helpful links on how to do the essay write properly. Will take him again and wish more teachers were like him.
Mr. Blanco is an excellent professor. He connects with the students and communicates well with everyone. I enjoyed the writing; his instruction and the prep work made it quite easy. The Essay topics he selected were very interesting. I highly recommend this class and am looking forward to taking another class with him in the future.
Excellent Professor. He is very helpful and makes the class fun. Missed a few classes and still passed with an A. There's a good amount of writing but nothing to crazy. He emails you the homework regularly. Overall great professor. I will be taking his ENC1102 class.
Cares about his students's progress tremendously. Get ready to write! and learn :)
I took him for both 1101 and 1102. Both classes were great! He truly cares for his students, and his passion for teaching really shows. In 1101, we wrote lots of essays and about 3 poems. In 1102, we didn't do as much essays, but we read poems, dramas, and short stories. Got an A in both classes. He is worth taking! You will not regret it!
Prof. Blanco is great,respectful and has a sense of humor. I took him for both 1101 and 1102 and passed with an A. We have about 5 simple fun essays with a wide range of topics.No tests just in 1102 I remember one test on a short story we read but very easy. We do use the book for all short stories and poems. emails homework. wants u 2 pass
This is the best professor so far. He was very patient with me and helpful.His class is really clear.He responds to emails very quickly. I recommend him to everyone.
I had absolutely no interest in taking Mr. Blanco's enc1102 english class until i saw him. What a cutie. Too bad he's married. Atendance was truly manditory for me. A good teacher ;).
Awesome teacher! Took my first virtual class with him and so far it has been a great experience. A lot of work but it is easy and he grades the discussions quickly for the most part. Gives constructive criticism when submitting essays. Hope he teaches 1102 next semester!!!!!
I took Mr. Blanco class online and loved it. His essay topics where interesting along with the assigned reading for each module. He is a must have teacher :)
he is the best teacher ever
I loved him! He was such a wonderful professor, he taught me a lot. He takes pride in all of his students and wants you to do well in his class. I took his mini term class and our final exam was a big research paper. We never took tests just essays. Overall, take his class!
Easy easy. Can't stress that enough. I got an A in the class and missed twice
I found out that Blanco was going to teach this class in the fall, so I took it. This class was really easy, and fun. Obviously a lot of writing in this class, but it's all good. Learned a lot from others when we presented our writing to each other. We even published a magazine! Would recommend to anyone that loves writing!
Mr. Blanco is awesome! I wish he can be my teacher for every class I have to take in college. Enjoyed every minute of his class for ENC1101 & ENC1102
I loved professor Blanco. His class is so easy and he makes it fun. His test are super easy he tells you exactly whats going to be on the them so all you have to do is study.
Really great class very easy as long as you pay attention in class. Great Professor.
Had him for both enc1101 and 1102. He's great no other better and I stand behind that fact. You probably have 3 essays or so but he isnt picky, you be find if you can put a few sentences together that make sense. I recommend him
Professor Blanco is amazing. He help you out a whole lot, he is attentive and makes learning exciting, and he doesn't waste your time. He REALLY make sure that you are taught thoroughly. WELL WORTH YOUR FINANCIAL AID!!!!!! EASY "A"!!!
I recommend this professor, I had him for 1101, easy class if you do the work.
Great teacher, you will score high if you do the work. There is a lot of work, but definitely worth the A
great teacher if you want an easy class take it with him
great teacher and class! you learn a lot and you can pass his class if you write the essays. ( 5 TO 6 SHORT ESSAYS)
Online. easy course. text not required. complete post quizzes and tests for each module by deadline. Got A
As far as ENC1101 or just any english teacher I had he is the best. Very easy and very straight forward, he pushes you to do well in his class. No book useage really but a fair amount of writing. If you do the work, which isnt much, you will pass. Highly recommend Mr. Blanco, hes cool in a goofy way. He also speaks very good english, no accent.
man i like that the class was exciting and he makes you think about what college life should be like and i think that he needs to be known for his hardwork that he wants you to success for your career
BEST PROFESSOR EVER! I always enjoyed English but prof. Blanco makes it so much fun & exciting. Very clear & precise with the work. Easy assignments, gives you chances to turn in work if you did not do it the 1st time or missed a day. Easy worksheets, funny guy & easy to talk to.
He is a great teacher who really cares about his students, you can always count on him. He let you see literature like you have never seen it, his test are sometime a little bit hard so you really need to take them seriously and study for them. If you do everything that he tells you it is an A for sure. Awesome professor.
Lot's of writing, but worth the price. Take him.
I took professor blanco online all I have to say is that he is an awesome teacher and you will not regret it there is no way you can fail this class you can get an A r B you choose. make sure to turn everything in before the deadline.
Prof. Blanco is a wonderful professor who truly loves his subject and enjoys teaching it to his students. All of his assignments have very clear guidelines; he will not leave you guessing. Don't be lazy. You will have to put effort into your work, and he will know it if you don't. Trust me and take his class, you won't regret it.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER! easiest class. i took 1101 and 1102, just because his that good! i aced both classes. he does give a lot of essays to do, but his test are extremely easy and his class is not boring at all! also his finals are a piece of cake too.
Professor Blanco is exactly what you would expect from a college professor. He is nice, quirky, and always willing to help his students succeed. If you take Professor Blanco, you will NOT be sorry!!
Two words ..... THE BEST!!!!
He's a great professor. The essays were easy. The final exam essays were a bit challenging but it is easy to pass with an A+ in his class if you complete everything he wants you to do. I recommend him for any student :) P.S taking him next semester for ENC 1102, he's that good.
Professor Blanco is a true gem! He is very patient and kind. His main goal is for his students to succeed. He isn't easy but if you do all the work, and try, then you can get an A.
Wonderful professor! There's lots of essays, but he makes class super easy and very interesting.
Great.
This guy, is the best he is very understanding, when it comes down to helping you he brakes his assignments down, and makes them fun to learn. You will enjoy your time learning new good writing habits in Mr Blanco class
BEST ENGLISH TEACHER EVER!! GREAT PROFESSOR. Funny, serious about his essays, very helpful & Understanding!!! TAKE HIM!!! Just DONT MISS CLASS!!
He is amazing, but i must admit taking Enc1102 mini term with him was a bit challenging. 1101 was way easier but 1102 was filled with tests and plays that we had to memorize. We don't ever use the book. only the play called Fences. so save your money. Besides that, he is great. One of my favorite professors ever to be honest. He is the sweetest.
He is by far the best teacher to take ENC1101 for. You will have to write a lot of essays and do the homework but he is a great teacher. If you come to class everyday it's almost impossible to fail because he helps you.
the besttttt
very good prof. He loves teaching and always put his students first. He makes his class interesting and fun.
Great Teacher. Takes the time to teach very well. Helpful with the students. Always be on time. Take note most of the the time very useful. Writing essay he helps us.
Very easy class, BUT takes forever to answer emails. NO JOKE, I emailed within the first week of school and two weeks have passed but nothing.
Professor Blanco is a great professor, especially for ENC1101. Sure you have to write a lot of essays, but he's there to help and wants you to succeed. Wish I could've taken him for ENC1102, but his classes were full. Thankful that I had him as my professor for my first semester in college.
Professor Blanco was my professor for both ENC1101 and ENC1102, My classes with him could not have been a better experience! He's extremely helpful and clear on instructions for assignments. As long as you come to class and do your work, you will pass (even if English isn't your favorite).
This teacher is great! I took this class online and it was completely worth it. His assignments are simple and easy to do. He docent ask for much and for the final research paper breaks it down completely to make it easy to do. Would definitely take again!
easy class, great professor, I strongly recommend,him 3 essays,midterm(1 essay) and the final research paper. Take him
Amazing teacher !! His lectures are short and simple , but the class was way too long . He let us out early most of the time . Essay in every class and essays for homework but they are not that hard . Take the class it's really chill .
Professor Jose Blanco is simply amazing. I took two courses with him, and I got an A in both. He does tend to be a little too lenient with his students, therefore giving them nuggets of huge lay back time. But overall, you wont find his lectures to be tiresome or tedious. He will work around your pace at any given time, and is fair in everything.
This professor looks out for the benefit of each student. I hated English with a passion until I took his class. He keeps you engaged and really makes you think. Taking ENC1102 with him because of my success in ENC1101.
He's a great professor. You can tell that he really enjoys his profession and is passionate about teaching. His lectures are good and he's a very easy grader. He's a very lenient. He's understanding and gives good feedback. He assigns a lot of work but it's not very hard. If you don't get an A in his class then you clearly didn't try at all. 1010.
The nicest guy ever. He comes to every class with such a great attitude. He loves his job. He's very understanding, and willing to help you. I took him for ENC 1102, and taking creative writing with him too. You definitely learn, and he really is the greatest teacher I've had so far.
Great guy , takes long to answer emails but an easy A . 3 modules , 3 quizzes 2 papers . ALL easy and you have MORE THAN ENOUGH time to complete them , if you fail you just didn't try. TAKE HIM !
took him for ENC1101. If you don't get an A in his class, you're just lazy and don't care. Only thing I don't like is that half the class stopped showing up to take advantage of him not putting pressure on attendance, that's just messed up. He's a really great guy.
Took ENC1101&02 with him, overall of 7 essays to pass both classes with an A. Really simple class structure(online) Everything is set up into modules and you're given 30 days to complete it. Everything is straight forward and set up to give you enough time. Easily one of the best professors at DADE overall. Pick him, you will do great.
The hardest professor to get a hold of. Literally had to email him three times before I got a response the first time, and I never heard back a second time. Work was as expected for a level two English course.
My Favorite professor hands down hand him fall of 2015 and he is the nicest EVER !! He brought in doughnuts and gave the easiest of essays. I'm going to miss him lots :)
VERY NICE GUY. only thing is he lets people push him around too much. Students take advantage. Respect him he deserves it. Just participate and make sure he gets to know you and your name then he'll like you. He's lenient with those who truly care about the class and their grade. If you don't do what you need to do you will fail. EASY A.
Very Good Professor. He does everything he can to help his students understand How to write there Paper and with passing his class. He is not hard at all. His strategies are different but works very well. I am so grateful and Happy I took his class. Do not get books tell your first class. You may not even use 1. It all depends on him.
He is one of the most influential and kind hearted professors there is at miami dade. He will not let you down, and I can guarantee you if you do all the writing you will pass his class with an A. He will not let you pass with a B it's almost impossible. Took him for ENC1101 and 1102. Lets say I already miss him.
BEST PROFESSOR AT MIAMI DADE!! yea he's super fun loving and loves to share a part of his life with his students. is also really into giving life adivce and sharing his hobbies. made class super fun and applied texts to everyday life. also teaches you how to use the databases so... loved his classes! Love you Blanco!
BEST ENGLISH PROFESSOR EVER AT MDC!!!!!!!!!!!
I like his personality but I don't like the way he teach. Everything is a joke .
I love MrBlanco so much. He has to be one of the best college professors in Florida no exaggeration! He is very helpful and sweet. He replies to emails very quickly. His class is mostly essays which I like, and each essay is interesting! It is pretty much impossible to fail his class unless you absolutely do not care and never show up. Funny too
Professor Blanco was utterly the best professor I had this semester. He always loved coming to our class which made us motivated and excited to learn. He challenges you to think and write about things you haven't before. He is a perfect example of how most professors should be like.
I'm so glad I was able to switch into Professor Blanco's class. He's clear on his work and gives you feedback no matter what. His teaching method is the easiest thing ever. He doesn't give you much on attendance, but regardless on showing up or not, as long as you do every assignment, you're okay. Can't wait to take him for 1102. Also, he's funny!
He is an amazing person. Super understanding and cares for your grade. He does gives a lot of essays but they are easy and relate able. I will be taking him for ENC1102.
This is my first semester of college and I was starting thinking it's going to be really hard but, Mr. Blanco made class super easy .He's a really good professor. Very light on grading essays, always willing to help out! Take him best English professor!!!
One of the best teachers i've had online. I took him for Enc1101 in Fall2016 and now i'm taking him again for enc1102 for spring semester. He is an amazing teacher with awesome topics, I loved the discussion boards and essays he would asks us to do. I passed with an A, I definitely recommend him!
The best English teacher I've ever had. Class was so easy & fair. Take him!!! He's awesome
funniest teacher ever. gets along with all students. cares and pushes you. gives good feedback.
He is a wonderful professor. His lectures put you to think about how you view life,etc. There is a lot of writing but that's okay because he makes it fun. There is a weekly grammar worksheet and reading assignment but they aren't difficult to do. There is just A LOT and i mean A LOT of writing! I would definitely take his class again.
Online Course. The agenda was laid out. You could do the course at your pace.
Mr. Blanco is my favorite professor. He is a great teacher and easy grader however, if you do your part you will learn so much from his class. He cares about his students and is always there if you need him. I am choosing him for ENC 1102 because he issimply amazing! Choose him you won't be disappointed. You will learn something, I promise. :) #1
You have to comprehend what you read. Many articles and books to read, but it is expected in this class. I questioned him about a grade I received and never heard from him. Final was 3 questions to choose from all based on readings that were read during class.
Well, he is not that clear about how we get graded but overall he is a great professor that has a lot of good things to say and I would not mind having him as a professor again.
He's a Amazing teacher! i took him for ENG 1101 and i am taking him again for ENG 1102 he really cares for his students and is passionate about his career and truly loves it. probably the best English teacher at Miami Dade!!
He is an amazing professor! He jokes a lot and makes the class pretty fun. But above everything, he really does connect with his students and he helps you out a lot.
Probably the best proffesor I have ever had. Always has a smile on his face and is so hilarious. Definatley would take him again without a second thought
He is a great teacher. Every single paper we did was the most easiest Ive ever done. He is a very easy A. You only do a little bit of hw which is very easy. You do need the textbook cause thats where he bases one of the homeworks from. I highly recommend him.
Professor Blanco is a truly amazing person and life-changing instructor. Current ENC1101 requirements are weekly grammar worksheets as and an 18 sentence summary of a short essay. Since theyre weekly that means 15 are assigned but he only puts the top 10 towards your grade aka you can miss 5. ESSAY STRUCTURE IS STRICT. He is so inspiring and great
Great professor! Great class, not difficult, one of the best ones I've taken. 100% recommending! Got A.... ENC 1102
Hes an amazing professor his class isnt hard hes straight forward all you have to do is work and study in order to receive the grade you want. His lectures are really interesting he isnt a boring professor
Very great professor ,he is very caring and very clear on his grading . I would definitely take his class again.
Best class I have ever taken. A few tests and quizzes but he gives you answers and reviews everything that will be on the test. Blanco is a funny, respected guy. Involves everyone in the class to participate. OH and get ready to remember Sonnet 116 of Shakespeare as well as to stand up and say out loud in class for a grade!
Great professor. Very polite and caring. Highly recommend for Enc1101
Very clear and direct professor. Is always available and replies quickly. I was able to finish all the content for this course in less than a month. No midterm, only a final exam.
Great professor and very understanding. Many essays given they're all straightforward. Clear on grading and he's just a sweet person overall.
Great, great, great professor he actually cares about you
I had him for virtual, 3 modules and he gives enough time to finish everything it is a lot of work (of course it is virtual English 2) but, it is easy and you do everything at your own pace. Quizzes, discussions, and essay are all easy he is not a tough grader even if it seems like it first he really isn't! TAKE HIM.
This professor does not have a strict attendance policy; however, his class is very interesting. Jose Blanco cares for his students and he makes connections with them too.
This professor cares that you are in class and making the effort, he is understanding and is smart. He teaches you how to write using your own material which can help since you already know you life story. Prof. Blanco prepares his students and gives examples the best way he knows. Very thankful, I learned a lot of skill writing and reading.
I personally enjoyed going to this class. Its very easy and simple. Yes you do alot of writing but its not difficult the stuff he gives out. Sweet and simple. You do your essays and you pass the class.
Best professor Ive ever had in MDC
He is best professor ever, I took it online,he is the best. If you want to pass,take it,you won't regret him.
Overall he was a good online professor. Everything was clearly graded. The only thing that really bothered me was that he took forever to respond to any emails or course messages. Overall solid choice.
He's a great professor. I had him for ENC1101 and I learned so much throughout his class. He has high expectations but will help you if you need it. I definitely recommend him :)
You will need to study to pass the tests but they are not as difficult as they seem. His criteria for the class is simple just follow his guidelines when writing essays. Take his class you will not regret it. He truly cares for your success.
I took this class online, and the criteria was very clear. Everything was laid out nicely for you to work through it. There was one final proctored paper that you needed to get higher than a C in to pass. It was not an EASY A because of all the busy work, but it wasn't hard either. Total of 3 essays one being proctored.
Although the grading criteria is clear, the course layout is confusing. What to read in order to do this assignment? And where to click to do this other one? Lots of confusing assignments, and the professor is not an easy grader. 3 essays, one of them is proctored. I would prefer another teacher. This class was challenging and confusing!
Great professor. All I can say. He is very hilarious, and its not the try hard funny. He is naturally funny. Yes of course you have to read and write. But you learn a lot in a way. You don't have to show up, but that wouldn't be a good idea.... Your missing out.
Took Blanco class for ENC1101 and Im planning on taking ENC1102 with him for my next semester. I actually like him. Hes very understandable. Very nice and his lectures are really life teaching. Makes you connect yourself more with the outside world and the way others might think. Overall I think hes a great professor.
I took ENC1102 online and it was the best decision ever! Everything was clear and easy to do. There are 3 modules and everything is divided nicely. There is one proctored exam which is the final and no midterm. So easy and highly recommend!
I Loved this class. Professor Blanco is super considerate and he works with you. No long classes or long lectures. Lots of meaningful conversation, he really loves his job and cares for his students! Be prepared to write a lot in this class. Taking Professor Blanco for ENC1102 because he was that amazing!
The best professor MDC Homestead has to offer. He is just so caring. From the very first class, hes just so interesting to talk to and knowledgeable about literature. Definitely recommend his for ENC1102. He will work with you, not against you! Id retake him if I had to.
He was a great teacher but i really didn't leave the class a better writer like i wanted to.
took this class online and it was the best. easy A if you do all your work. there are three essays and lots of quizzes but you have to chances to do them. very easy!
Great educator. Covid-19 robbed us of half a semester, but recommended professor. Engaging, Educational... Authentic.
Be ready to write. Every class you will be writing, but he makes the class fun with stories and inspirational videos.
LOVE THIS PROFESSOR!! One of the nicest professor I met in MDC. He really cares about this students & wants them to pass. He easy and doesn't grade hard if you don't pass is because your lazy and just don't care. He gives student every way to make-up essays and never takes away points. I took him for ENC1101 & ENC1102 Take him!!!
I would absolutely recommend him, hands down he responds to your email, helps with any assignments guides you and its super nice do all of your assignments there is no strict schedule for an exact due date but dont wait till last minute he grades really quick
super super easy, took him for mdc online and never once had a lecture. outline of course is clear, module work is fairly easy, super lenient on essay grading, and great on response time. only a proctored final. he is an amazing professor in person and i was sad to not be able to take him face-to-face this year.
This man dont care yall. I wrote anything for the final and passed
I took this professor in Spring 2021. Easy A class! Just do all your work and you will pass. He also grades fast than any professor I had. I will definitely take him again :)
Take this class and you will pass! I had to put four stars because I told him that I am an ACCESS student that I need extended time for my assignments but he gave a nice reply. I emailed another email to request extended time but he ignored my email and refused to give it. I would take this class again.
If you're looking for an easy A take him! He is one of the best teachers I've had. Also super easy and lenient grader, everyone finished with an A. DO NOT LOOK ANY FURTHER TAKE HIM
be prepared as he never answers email, easy grader
I took this class in the spring of 2020 and it was an Easy A. Completely online with no lecture. Textbook not needed. everything was provided online. He allows late assignments without being penalized. no midterm - one final essay (not proctored). He grades on the easy side so as long as you do the assignments, you are guaranteed to pass.
If you want an easy class, just take this one. The teacher does not pay attention to what you write in your discussions but still gives you 100%. Easy A, I totally recommend. He does not respond to his emails, though, so try joining a group chat if you have questions.
He is super caring and passionate, he works with his students and is very understanding
TAKE HIM! If you are taking lot of classes and you need still need to take ENC1101, please take him! Its an easy A :) he wont ever answer your emails, but if you do everything he says you will pass the class with a grade of A
Self-Paced online class, no classroom just do the work before its due. Class is very organized & very easy. He is not a tough grader, & is a very nice guy. When I got sick with covid he worked with me a little bit, although his communication is a little rough (guessing he has a lot of students). Overall EXTREMELY easy class, work wasnt hard at all.
He's super nice. Probably the best professor that I've had so far. Attendance isn't necessary as long as you do the work. He's not strict with deadlines but don't wait too long to start because it really adds up. I'd take his class again for sure.
Mr.Blanco is an amazing teacher, he is funny and he is very caring. I would totally take his class again.
This teacher has been amazing since day 1. He's very caring & loves to talk to his students. His assignments are very simple. He grades very easily & doesn't go into depth on ur writing. There are a few essays but he gives assignments before hand that can easily be copied and pasted into the essay. He's incredible and so genuine. I recommend.
Great, easy-going class, assignments. All assignments were posted on the first day so you can complete at your own pace. He explains everything in great detail, even though all his assignments are clear and straightforward. 100% recommend!
I took him for ENC1101 and ENC1102 both classes were so easy, honestly he is the best English professor at MDC, 6 modules 4 discussions each and 1 essay per module, if you want to pass with a good grade just take him.
This is the best professor for English!! I took his class for enc1101 and enc1102. The workload is easy and not overwhelming at all. He is very understanding with deadlines. He is not a tough grader at all. Overall it's an easy A. I would recommend him to anyone!
this professor is honestly the best professor i have ever had in college so far. His lectures are not boring whatsoever, he explains everything perfectly. He is so understanding, and he doesn't have any exams just essays which were very easy. you do not need to have your camera on and participation matters.
I took him for the fall term 2022 super easy class. he didn't have deadlines for homework it was self-pace. you had to write essays and few discussions all the homework was online but honestly, he is an easy grader.
This professor was great and very flexible with deadlines!! If you need want an easy online class take him. There isn't many assignment; mostly discussion posts, quizzes and two essays.
Professor Blanco has a very clear grading criteria so you know what to expect in this class. Of course, a lot of writing but he did not ask any crazy amount of pages or words. Also, he gave a lot of time to complete assignments and I appreciated that because I like proofing my writing and change stuff around a lot lol
There is definitely quite a bit of work involved. Quite a few quizzes, books to read, and papers to write. That being said, he is super fair when grading. There was only a proctored final exam, which was also not that difficult. He provides a lot of videos to prepare you for everything. Even being online, it was easy to understand. Take this class.
Easy A. Just do your essays and you're fine. 5-6 Chapters, 5-6 essays.
Easy class. Stay on track of essay's if not you will fall back but over all easy grade and the professor makes the class interesting.
Aside from the fact that the syllabus due dates were incorrect, this class is easy. Discussion posts and a few quizzes, but everything is simple. If you take this class, be very aware of when the essays and final research paper are due. A lot of the online course had no due date, which could lead to problematic time management.
Prof Blanco is fantastic! While the final exam is proctored, quizzes are not. The course consists of two essays, 25% each to the final grade. Beyond this, there are no additional complexities to note. This class is highly recommended and remarkably straightforward to succeed in.
The professor is very caring and understanding. As long as you put effort and show interest then you should be fine. Very easy and manageable assignments.
This class was so easy online. I will say he does take a while to respond to emails or he might not respond at all. However, if you want to knock out an ENC1102 class, definitely take him as an online course. He gives so much time to do the assignments and they are not time consuming at all.
I took Professor Blanco in Spring term and the rating were all legit. He is a very caring professor and he really is good at what he does. There is alot of writing included in this class, but the good thing is he gives you time to turn in all assignments before the term ends, but don't turn do it last minute because its alot of writing. Take him!!!
This was a great professor but just a lot work so be prepared and turn work on time.
took this professor for enc1101 and enc1102 fully online and he is amazing. he does discussion boards and a lot of reading but he isn't a tough grader and his assignments were very easy and simple. passed both classes with an A. i would definitely recommend him. he's very easy going and was easy to reach
great professor! would highly recommend
This online class with Professor Blanco was a breeze. Easy assignments, no exams, and great flexibility. The lectures were engaging, and I found Unstuck ai to be a super helpful study tool alongside the provided video content.
Good english professor. I took him last semester (Fall 2024) he doesn't give much homeworks just essays over the stories and movies we watched. He is also very flexible, he doesn't deduct points if the assignments are turned in late but just don't take advantage of that. He is pretty chill and you will enjoy the stories he will share.
I took the class online, and overall, the writing assignments the professor gives are quite clear and easy. The only issue is that he takes a really long time to respond to Canvas messages, and when you don't get the highest grade, he doesn't provide an explanation unless you specifically ask for one. He has a MIDTERM PROCTORED and a Final Paper.
Professor Blanco is an amazing professor! I had the pleasure of taking this class via Zoom, and it was honestly one of the best classes. He truly cares about his students, the class has no proctored quizzes, and everything was clearly explained. If you're looking for an easy class and a great professor, definitely take ENC101 with him.
take him. doesn't grade heavily, but doesn't really give feedback. you can turn in work late. Class is easy peasy lemon squeezy.
The best professor for ENC1101, really nice and caring, explained the material clearly, making it easier to understand. I appreciated his teaching style, it made learning enjoyable. He was always willing to answer questions and provide extra help. Overall, I had a positive experience in his class and learned a lot. I recommend taking his class.
This is an excellent class! Prof. Blanco is very caring, and his lectures are very interesting and fun. This was my comfort class after a very difficult day or a hard lecture I had earlier. He was always positive and ready to teach. Grades were posted quickly, and he would give you chances in case you were late to assignment.
I am so incredibly honored to have had the opportunity to take Professor Blanco's class. He was an amazing soul, such a sweet man, caring compassionate, the perfect class to pass in a blink of an eye. He's truthful, fair, respectful. All his grading is fair and transparent. Open communication with his students. I, 100% recommend.
Impeccable class — I loved it. The content was really interesting and useful. Great professor, very kind and engaging.
Such a chill teacher doesn't mind if assignments are a few days late just don't push it. Gives about 1 essay broken down into several components each month nothing too crazy. For the most part you're writing about what interest you so its easy. No camera needed.
It was an online course so there was little student-teacher interaction. A lot of assignments tho.
He's very nice, best English teacher at MDC. We had to write essays for each topic which wasn't rigorous and then one research paper at the end of semester. No textbook, No test, No quiz. Take him!
Jose Blanco saved me this semester. I was struggling beyond all belief because of the bullying and ostracizing I was receiving from one of my other classes. I explained my situation to Mr. Blanco and he, without hesitation, saved me from failing. God bless this professor. Truly. He is a gem that's hard to come by at MDC. Also, he knows his subject!
Just take him, you are going to be free, write what you really think and don't be punished for not using very advanced techinques. It will be a great experience for you to get used to writing in a comfortable environment.
