His class is very easy. All you do is write essays and he lets you rewrite them as many times as you want until the last week of the semester. Sometimes he has discussions about a topic that has nothing to do with what we are writing, but when it has to do with what we are learing it is very thurough and it will be easy writing the essays.

He is an interesting professor. I took him for comp 1 and 2 and got an A in both. He is very vague and does jump from topic to topic, but his class is pretty easy and he is very helpful if you take the time to go to his office and see him. He does expect you to analyze at a deeper level, but he knows what he is talking about.

To this day, he is still my favorite English teacher. I like the fact that the course work was challenging. In order to get an A, you had to put some effort.

Highly recommended by other professors. He allows rewrites if essays are submitted on time, but also assigns weekly essays as well as 4 main essays expecting 400-800 words on the weekly ones. He gives harsh criticism, but with good intention. He is a little spacey and forgetful and wants you to think about everything to the point of over analysis.

Interesting. He definitely writes his own rules (min. 300 wd paragraphs), but once you learn them, you should do fine. Just forget them when the class is over!

Flores is a great person, however I hated taking his class. He graded every essay incredibly harshly and it's almost impossible to get an A on an essay. Maybe he's better with composition 1 but he assigns awful stories to read that are long and challenging. Also, he treats it like a literature class not a composition class.

Professor Flores is a fantastic Comp 2 teacher. You will learn to analyze works by authors such as Edgar Allen Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne. Weekly short papers (like 400 words) and 3 main papers (about 700). If you do the reading, work, and follow the super clear instructions, its an easy A.

Professor Flores is such a joy to be taught by; he's extremely cheerful and inspirational, he truly cares about his students. Decent amount of short stories to read and a decent amount of papers/writing assignments, but his minimum word count is never much, highest was 800 that I remember. Gives great feedback and makes you feel accomplished.

Professor Flores was a very good teacher. You will have to work for your grade, but he is probably one of the most helpful teachers I have had. I emailed him for more specifics when grading essays and he didn't have a problem answering any of my questions. Be aware that discussions were definitely not worth as much as essays.

Professor Flores is a good person and cares about his students, but his class was not the easiest. He gave us new stories every two weeks where you would have a small discussion than an easy after. The stories were often very long and very strange. When he grades, he can be quite harsh, and it can also take some time to get a grade.

He is very flexible in grading, accepting late submissions, and providing comments that encourage you to do better in the next post. In order to get a good grade in his class, you have to do a thorough analysis of the characters' personalities as well as delving into the origin of the tragedy of the characters, not just merely retelling the stories

If you prefer detailed prompts when writing a paper, DON'T take this professor. His prompts are very basic and offers almost no direction. There's four major papers including the final.

Class is definitely on harder side. If you are not a good writer already do not expect to do well. He doesn't believe in giving 100% as grade. There's a lot of papers, but he will give deadline extensions if needed. Many stories to read, get ready to read and analyze in class, he will call on you. As long as you have good analysis, you'll be fine.
