You should take his class. He is a good teacher. If you do the homework, you will pass the class with an A.
Jose Macia is a cool guy. He don't ask you for the hour of lab, only for the work you have done. He do not waste your time like others.
very easy, as longest you do what he ask he is fine with it, it is not to complicated to pass his class, very easy
No Comments
He is a good teacher, but if you want someone who teach you. He is not the right professor to choose.
he doesn't teach anything
He is a very good teacher, very helpfull, and very nice too. His class is not that easy but you'll learn a lot.
Very honest and an exellent professor.
he is a very helpful professor, explains very well, and gives an excellent classes
he is so helpful professor and i had a very good time with him in class and he got sence of hummar
He is a good teacher with a lot of energy. Few times, his overenergy is a little frustrating. However, I recommend him.
The Best!!! great sense of humor,helpfull,very proffesional
OK, he is very nice person, and he makes jokes. Very good for taking in on summer. DO THE POST TEST and the assigments and you'll be fine! of course if you do not care for this class he won't help you.. when he is mad, don't tlak to him!
He sometimes doesn't know what he is doing. sometimes get confused. unorganized. likes to use WebCT a lot.
He doesn't teach ,he just reads the book and give you an assignment.Thats it
Professor Macia is very passionate and loves to teach. Highly reccomend him for Enc1102! He really knows his stuff, and makes sure students understand. Has high energy level, and wants to keep students interested! Got an A...if you get the chance take his class!
He tries to teach, but he is very unclear and gets confused with his own program. He says he'll do things and never does them. He gives you a LOT of readings and papers to do. Other professors teaching this class don't give us nearly as much work. Hash grader too. I didn't like this class.
he is disorganized and does not have grading policy. He grade on his own personal choice. Just for him, my GPA dropped. I wished that I never take him.
Work is easy but alot is given and have to be turned in, in a short period of time (especially essays)...if your expecting to learn this is not the professor for you. He doesnt teach well and he even confuses his self.
Dr. Macia is there when you need him. Excellent in teaching writing. His a too strict with attendance policy -- 3 missed and your out for good. . .saw that happen with a few students, but he is passionate and serious about teaching. loves to teach
He is agreat teacher very helpful and understanding always there to help when you need it . taught m e alot so do not listen what what other write if you attend class all of them not one you will pass so on a postive mote take him for 1101 you want regret it I didnt
i took Dr. Macia for ENC1102: 3 essays -- one research paper - 12 reader response papers. Very friendly, helpful, loves literature, focuses some lit. on ethnic and gender issues (which I don't agree with, but he made our readings interesting). don't cross him wrong with attendance; it's his weakness and he is impatient with excuses.
This professor is the worse professor i have ever had, he does not teach at all. I havent learn anything from his class and his class is so boring that i never wanted to go but i had to because attendance was mandatory... i had to learn myself i do all the homework he gave us. DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!
Dr. Jose Marcia is a great teacher. He makes himself available to students and can always be found in his office. Dr. Jose expects his students to be responsible and wants his students to ask for help when they need so. He is willing to take time out of class to make sure students understand the lesson and are caught up with all class and homework
Dr. Maciasis a friendly person. His class is easy, just do what you are suppose to do as an student. Highly recommend for ENC 1101
Very good teacher, honest and very smart
I had his last semester and he DID give alot of essays but if you are on top of your work then there shouldn't be a problem. His classes were pretty simple, go in, work on your essays and journals, and your out. If your into that then take him.
EASIEST A EVER!!! 12 reader responses which don't even have to have seperate paragraphs. 6 essay's and a research paper. If you want a teacher that lectures all class then this is not for you. If you don't mind doing all your work in class so you really don't have to do anything at home besides the research paper then this is for you.
I took online class for six week he is one of the better teacher I ever had at Bc. always answer email, and hepl. you can ask him any question he will answer you. please I you have a chance take him give a lot of reading but easy just do you essay and the diccusion with online class best one
I took his online course and found it extremely easy. I didn't really learn anything. You write 12 responses to assigned readings, watch and comment on 4 videos and write 4 papers. As long as you complete all the assignment on time, it's an easy A.
Enjoyed the readings and exchange with other students, class was only online. Becareful with work not completed, thought I had an A he gave me a B for not completing the videos. Did call him three times and always there to help, but I feel the video point loss could have been reconsidered since I learned from the readings and essays
Very good instructor, a master of English lang.
He is an exellent teacher... give you all the attention he can, eyou with everything and understand your rogress as individual and work with it.
Dr. Macia is an excellent teacher if you want an easy A but overall I feel he was a good teacher but not harsh on grades what so ever!
Very unorganized and forgetful. Always extends assignments and give you more than enough time to complete. He is a hard grader and expects some deep writing which i am not good at. If you are a terrible writer do not take this.
This guy is the best hands down he's not easy he's understanding if his class is moving slow so will he I had him for 1101 and 1102 you can go to him with anything and he will find a way to help you pass no matter what above average love this guy
On of the best teachers I have ever had he's not easy he understands his class of your class is moving slow so will he but he does let you move at your own pace love this guy the best hands down
Great guy. Very easy class. Very helpful. The only bad thing about him is that he is very disorganized. He gives homework and he forgets. It takes him a lot to grade the papers. Very easy A.
Easily sidetracked, and goes off on tangents for most of the semester. But his grading criteria is not strict, and mostly just wants to see an effort on your papers and journal entries. Very personable, and has a passion for English composition and English as a language. Show up, show him your face and ask questions- and you will get an A.
really confuse to understand him. you will need to learn by yourself, no help material. you'd better take online. he only talk and explain about his personal things.
Horrible professor. Organized? not at all. Do not have clarity, say diferent things every time. Talk a lot, Do not give feed backs. I got an b after( I am not satified) he dosent even bother explaining anything to you. I will never take him again!
He is too serious about attendance and not being. Careful not to get on is badside if he thinks you discriminate against anyone. He helps but has no tests like multiple choice. HE only assigns essays one after the other. Talks but always has point. i like him, easy and no stress if you come to class.
Took his online course, pretty easy even for me. Ive taken ENC1102 before and failed, so im happy i was able to finally pass with a B. Only thing i would recommend for those thinking about selecting this professor is do it before the class fills up! its pretty simple, just complete all your assignments and you will pass.
IN THIS CLASS YOU JUST HAVE TO WRITE ESSAYS. HE IS VERY NICE. HE DOES NOT GIVE A LOT OF CLASS. HE PUTS THE ASSIGNMENT AND YOU DO IT AND THATS ALL. IT IS NOT DIFFICULT, HE IS A VERY GOOD PROFESSOR.
Very UNORGANIZED!!
Professor Macia was super chill.. we had 3 major essays.. a few mini activities which was pretty much our thesis and supporting sentences of our essay. If you do your writing lab, and discussions, and turn in your essay you are good to go. He gives extra credit ( i didn't even need it) and he gives you chances to turn in assignments.
he is the best english teacher I had since 7th grade. he is honest and if you care about passing this class you found the right man. I can assure one thing, be prepared to work.
This class was very easy we had 3 essays to write pretty much you have to do your own research and teach yourself he is there to help in all ways if you ask . Just be sure to read d2l and complete all your assignments coming to class is not so mandatory just do all your work you will get no less than B
please do not plagiarize in this class he has a system which tells you the site or the paper that you used to plagiarize and you will not pass. write the paper in your words it counts each line each word if you plagiarize over 30% of your paper you definitely wont pass just read and do all your assignments ask questions if you get confused
EASIEST TEACHER AT BCC ! EASY AF ! I PROMISE DONT LOOK ANY FURTHER ! CLASS WORK IS EASY AF , WE GOT LIKE 1 ESSAY AND A COUPLE SHORT STORIES MAYBE LIKE 2 LOVEEE HIM SUPER NICE AND CORNY FUNNY LOL PLUS IF YOU MISS THE ESSAY DATE HELL EXTEND IT
Professor is awesome! I took the class online & while it does require some reading, everything is available through D2L. There are lots of discussions & participation is required. We had two essays, a research paper & a couple other assignments for this class. If you read the material, use proper grammar & participate, you'll do well in his class.
Best professor ever i pass with an A iwill take him for 1102
This was a hard classes for me to deal with. Only because I have never taken 3 classes a semester. I work too much. There is a lot of reading and a lot of work to do. But if you do what is needed. This can be an easy A class. There are 3 essays, a few assignments and participation does matter. He does give you a chance to catch up on the work.
Great professor and the class is really easy. All you need to do is write 3 essays, do the work online and the labs.
This class requires a lot of reading and analysis for the discussions, therefore it took a little while to complete each one. The notes he provides are very helpful, and I would take this class again in a heartbeat.
Great teacher
Took his ENC1102 class not having taken ENC1101 (had AP credit to cover that). I was unsure what to expect but walked away with an A! He utilizes Google Communities versus d2l so if you are completely unwilling to learn a new platform, stay away from this class. But really, he made himself very accessible and Google Communities is not difficult!
Good professor take him I love him 100% I take him Enc 015 Enc025 Enc1101 pass with B.
I taken his class for spring and I can tell you this. He is a very caring professor. If an important life event happens and you need an extra day to finish a paper, he will be there to help. He has his phone on him 24/7 so whenever you need something. You can text him and he respond quick ! Easy A show up and do your work ! Is worth it !
If you need hand holding and step by step instruction this is NOT the guy for you. He is available outside of class to answers questions. Participation is important to him. Pretty much all self taught. Not bad he is friendly and jokes a bit so there is that.
If you are a self motivate or busy life outside of school (married or have children). This is your teacher with a flexible schedule, even allow a phone number to reach him. In his class, you will have one major essay(the final) and discussions related to writing the essay. Ask questions, meeting for tutors and librarians. And get your A
Dr. Macia wanted to ensure we clearly understood APA style writing so we had to digest the Purdue OWL for weeks and take notes which ended up helping us out in the long run with our research paper. He's very passionate about you giving your paper your best. Took a 6 wk remote course online. We only had to do 1 research paper which was a blessing!
Prof. Macia is a sweetheart and caring. I would take his class over but Id wish he do things a little different. He has a google voice # that allow students to call if needed. No textbook but attendance is a must. 3 essays total every essay theres about 3-4 discussion thats due. 6 weeks made it a bit difficult but not bad. He take long to grade.
Hes a good guy, youll like the way he teaches. Though hes not the best at lectures, he gives great assignments that allow you to actively get better without feeling like you might do bad. If you put in a bit of effort, it WILL go a long way (: Definitely recommend his class.
i loooooooovvvvveeeeeeeee this man took him for both ENC1101 and ENC 1102 such a sweetheart yes yes he disorganized but his class is amazing and he teaches well
Professor Jose is a great English teacher. It's very easy to get an A in his class. Show up and listen to his lectures. He enjoys talking :). I only had 3 essays due and then some grammar work on MyLabs for the whole session. He will even take the time to go over your paper with you via zoom, guaranteeing you know what he's looking for.
Professor Macia was an outstanding professor. He would review your essays if you needed. Provided great feedback and show how to correct your mistakes. He is very understanding if you have an emergency. Had 10 discussions, peer reviews, and 3 essays. I highly recommended his classes.
a lot of papers.
Professor Macia is a very good teacher. He tells you all about the type of essay you'll be writing, shows videos, gives out a chapter to read on the type of essay, and you have lots of time for each essay. You also do a few discussions and you can get extra credit. Really easy class, definitely recommend.
Professor Macia is a nice teacher I recommend everybody to take his class. He will review your essay and give you feedback to fix what you got a fix.
He is very help full ensure you understand your work gave's good feed back on your work.he helps you with ideas and what to do and how to do it. he also ensure you go to tutor to look over your essay.he is not a hard teacher very nice and caring. I would retake is class
Macia is the best teacher broward college can have. He is so nice and caring about his students. His class is really easy if you focus on your work.
I just finished my composition class with Mr. Macia and it went great! There are barely any assignments to do besides a few discussions and 3 main essays. He is very lenient and had pushed back the essay due dates for us twice. He is also laid back and is never strict or enforcing with his work. I would love to take him again!
-Great professor -Gives 3 free absences -Doesnt reply to emails quickly -Only HW is a lab (which is quite annoying) -Only work we had are the 3 main essays and the lab -Takes attendance towards the end of the class
He was a great professor! His class is very easy just show up and turn in the assignments. only gives 3 essays and a lab which were very easy . He is also lenient and I would take his class again.
I loved this professor! He was amazing and did a fantastic job. Everything was easy to understand and follow. He gives you ample time to finish your work and work on your final. Make sure you get your reading done and you're golden!
This guy is amazing he can actually lecture about how to write good essays in the future. If your someone who is a slow learner hes the one for you
This professor is amazing, this class was extremely easy. He is really caring, you can tell he really cares about his students. He answers all your questions, and gives you good feedback before you submit the final draft. I definetely would take him again. Do yourself a favor and take his classes.
This professor is so easy, if you fail his class... that's literally all on you. Will go into yap sessions about ethical ways to use AI tools for work, but overall he's just doing his best. He gives lots of good resources in his google drive, and is understanding with any questions asked. But you will probably have to work on your essays at home.
Professor Macia is a great professor. His class is impossible to fail, unless you are lazy and do not put in effort for assignments. He is very understanding and gives great feedback on all essays. I would recommend taking his class!
This was the easiest class I've ever taken so far. He only gave us 4 assignments for the entire term. 3 papers and a final exam. I would most definitely take this class again. He only allows students to miss three classes before he asks for a reason for the absence. Trust me, take this class.
Great Professor, one of the easiest class I've ever taken so far. 3 writing papers, 3 discussion and one final exam. His class is impossible to fail unless you're lazy. He's caring, answer all of your questions, and gives great lecture. He gives you ample time to finish your writing assignment. I highly recommended his class.
He was great, very nice but very professional. He made us to work with tutors for our papers and that helped a lot but at times it felt like the tutors taught more than he did, paper-wise. He talked alot, sometimes about the same subject but he has alot of classes so i dont blame him.
Mr. Macia is an amazing professor, highly recommend him. The class was super easy and sufficient without any issue, and I got 100 on all of my assignments. Just 2 discussions and 2 essays and that was all we had to do.
Theres 2 requirements to pass this class. 1) show up 2) do what he says. If you can show up to class and follow basic instructions, you will pass. Aside from that he's very fair with his grading and is completly against overloading you with homework. If your an adult and dont have unlimited time because u work for a living, this is your professor.
Great professor! He gives you time to do his work. He is very understanding. However, with each assignment, you do have to meet with at least 2-3 tutors with proof. But other than that, I would definitely take him again.
