BEST TEACHER ON CAMPUS
Great teacher I look forward to going to her class she's that good.
take this teacher! extremly nice and helpful. If you do the work and put in a little effort you should have no problem getting an A
Very easy class. Did learn a few things, but class always ended very early. Could have had more content. Minimal effort gets you an A.
If i could have this teacher for every english class i would. She is excellent, very helpful and minimal effort in this class will garauntee an a+
She is an amazing teach. She is very easy, just do the work! Take Her!!!!!
GREAT TEACHER
How can I pay attention? She is so beautiful...as a women and as a human being.Great class...very helpful!
Took her creative writing class. She's great, but you can't teach creativity. Reading/listening to other student's work (sometimes horrible stuff) can be very mind-numbing! Have patience when taking this class w/ her. She workshops EVERYTHING!
Very easy class... Super good teacher and makes the class fairly fun. Tests and papers real easy. Do the work and you will get your A!
Juliana Cardenas was an amazing teacher!!! I am not good in my english classes and I got an A!! She is so cute and so fun! She really trys to help her students out and do anything to make them understand!! Best teacher I have ever had!!!
Pretty cool class. I would take her class again if I need to do any more english stuff. Pretty layed back class. If you get you work in and on time, you'll do fine. She's pretty too.
The lecture is fun if you like to talk(i liked it), Julie is very friendly, and the assignments are not hard (anyone who wants an A can get one), essays have loose enough rules to be creative. I would take her again if I needed more english
The best teacher at Grossmont! Totally hot and a super nice person. Register for her class! You'll love the lectures, discussions and really fun essay topics...promise!
Awesome teacher! Very helpful, understanding, can tell she loves her job. Couldn't ask for a better teacher. By far my favorite at Grossmont. 2nd time I've had her.
Great Teacher loved her, she was so helpful and nice. Class was fun and easy, I enjoyed coming to class everyday. Not too much work. Great teacher and class
This is a fun class. I enjoy the amount of time spent within our designated groups. The only frustrating thing about this course, is our work doesn't get handed back in a timely manner. Thus, making it difficult to understand where you stand.
this teacher only gives one test on a book the rest of what she calls test are essays.
Very nice teacher, grades very easy and offers extra credit opportunity. Fun and interesting class, I loved it.
She is a nice teacher but assigns a lot of homework. I know it is a reading class but she assigns too much reading homework. I am glad this class is over because it was so BORING! I am an english major and this class killed me every week.
understand people with learning disablitys and very help and understanding and extra credit opporunitys for her class
Super nice lady. makes class discussion fun and enjoyable. Cares about her students. Reasonable grader. Wonderful teacher.
easy and very helpful instructor. cares about her students and is a fair grader.
She has a very down to earth personality. She lets you explore and expand your ideas in all directions.
Very good teacher, very pleasant personality, but not as much timely feedback on student work as I would have liked.
Julie is an awesome teacher.The reading for class was pretty much all good stuff.She doesn't act like she's above you and will seem very on-your-level during class discussions and outside of class.Very comfortable class environment.
Prof. Cardenas was an awesome teacher. I really enjoyed her class and would recommend her to anyone who is taking English.
If u can write more than five reading reponses a week, take this class. lots of works but easy class
Julie's quite possibly the best teacher at Grossmont. She's a very kind, and open person who will help you however she can. Very very highly recommended.
boring!!! uses every last minute
Great teacher. Great lady. I have enjoyed her classes for the last two years. You'd like her too; it's impossible not to.
This teacher is one of the best at Grossmont! She is nice, caring, helpful and doesn't think she's all above you like most teachers. I took her in a short-term class and it wasn't even that difficult! She offers extra-credit opportunities and let's you revise 2 essay papers. Discussions and group activities are fun! Take her 'cause she is the best!
BEST ENGLISH TEACHER EVER!
Julie is a really great teacher. Assigns good reading and engages class in interesting discussions. Not too much writing. Pretty easy class. Just do the reading (which you can even get away without sometimes), come to class, and put forth a little effort, and you'll probably do well.
Shez such a nice teacher i ever had!!!Excellent class!!If u hav to take English 122, just take this class!!Shez the best english teacher in grossmont college!!
She is the only teacher I liked...actually loved in my first two swmesters at Grossmont! She's helpful and understanding, and if you're a fairly good student, pretty leanient. She gives extra credit ifthe students ask and really need it and she's always open to suggestions for class. FUN class discussions!
NOT ONLY IS SHE A GREAT TEACHER, BUT SHE HAS THE GREATEST PERSONALITY AND THE LOOKS TO MATCH!
I liked her so much for Eng 110 I decided to take her for 126 too. It's creative writing and she has the most amazing teaching tactics. She won't just tell you to write a poem, she'll do it in abstract ways that make better sense to those of us who arent really poets. She's a great teacher and her class is one of the only ones I actually LOVE!
she is an awesome teacher, very helpful in class but responds late to emails. work isnt hard at all. gives great input and her class is NEVER boring.
Her class is uber easy. Turn in all your work and you don't have to worry about your grade. No penilty for late work or absences and no mandatory prompts. However if you want constructive critcism on your work don't go to her. Everything is STRONG and POWERFUL. She's TOO nice.
I was so scared of writing before I took her class. She really gave me the confidnece to write and good topics. 5 out of class and 2 in-class essays. Extra credit was fun and worth doing. Make sure to take your work to the writing center ,do the read- around and hand in your work on time to get an A. Cardenas is super nice and a great teacher!
very nice, easy grading, good topics to write, motivates you to write, best english teacher so far
THE BEST TEACHER EVER! CLEAR CONCISE CAREING.
This class was really easy
Super sweet teacher, great sense of humor, clear and concise when explaining assignments. Takes roll almost daily, and remembers names eventually so make sure you go to class. Journals, papers, read arounds, and a class debate at the end-all cake and all are fairly short assigments. EASY CLASS and easy A when you try! I wish she taught 120!
Great teacher that gives you a broad range of styles to explore, such as poetry, fiction, plays, etc. Be prepared to have others read and critique your work, and some students use that as a way to put others down. Very easy class but worth taking.
she is keeps the class interesting and on track. She lets the students know wxactly what she wants in her assignments. Easy class.
Friendly, passionate, and encouraging teacher. Assignments are interesting. She grades with an open mind and caters to the student's imagination. Prepare for a lot of group work. Class environment is very friendly and laid back. I hope to take her other classes as well.
She was a wonderful and encuraging teacher. Very understandable, and very through. I loved her class.
Great teacher. Very helpful and fair. Basically you have 6 or 7 essays, journals, one quiz. She also lets you revise two of the essays for a better grade.
easy a or b in this class. just read what you need to read and you will be fine. very nice. take her
She's almost too nice.
If you come to class you will do well, there is a small index card question due almost everyday. She grades fairly and is very nice. There are two tests and about 4 papers to write. The class itself is the same everyday, all you do is discuss the reading. she doesnt give you much time to read the novels.
She's extremely nice and very flexible; she wants you to do well and provides assignment extentions when necessary. Enjoyable class, very comfortable atmosphere. Only downfall is that she squishes novel reading, so you better read fast or read early! Great prof. though, take her!
If you like reading than take her class. She makes you do quick assignments about the readings. When she does asign a paper its only about 2 pages long. Fun class
She is an abolsute delight!! One of the sweetest most caring women on this planet!! She is very understanding and will do anything to help better you as a writer!!! I would absolutely take a class with her again if givent he chance!! Take her class, I promise you will NOT regret it!
Shes a very sweet teacher and if your a freshman taking her class for the first time you will find the transition into college very easy. She is always there to help you out with your writing. I wish i showed up more often because she was a very delightful teacher.
She is a wonderful professor. All of the positive comments shown are true. Most importantly, she is encouraging, engaging and makes class fun!
I love julie Cardenas! She is seriously my most favorite teacher.. I can't wait to take another class with her, creative writing was absolutely enjoyable, the people in the class were fun, and its all about participation and learning and growing in your writing. Easy A! A must take for english majors.
The sweetest teacher you will ever have. EVER! Her class is very easy and enjoyable she wants writing to be fun. Just do all assignments and you will have an A fo sho. don't buy the book just partner up with someone. doesn't take roll but there are easy assignments given every day so don't miss out!
Best instructor on campus
Julie is sweet as pie! Her expectations are clear from the start, she allows late turn in with no markdown if you're sick. Easy grader, and provides opportunities for extra credit. Books are MANDATORY. Easygoing class/teaching style. If you have the chance, don't pass up ANY class taught by Julie! TAKE THIS TEACHER!
Julie is a great teacher. She challenges writers to think in new and innovative ways and provides the support to improve your skills and abilities. I would recommend her for any class.
Sweetest personality imaginable. I've spoken to quite a number of other students who have taken her classes. I never heard anyone use a discouraging word about her.Amazing.
the best
really nice teacher only flaw was that she came in 5 minutes late every day but at least we could come in late as well
A very sweet teacher who obviously cares a lot about her students and literature. She is an easy grader. I managed to take her lit class without buying the text book. My only critism would be that some of her essay questions are very leading and hard to answer in your own words. She likes feminist and cross cultural literature.
she is the BEST professor at Grossmont College! very nice and caring, plus she is VERY CUTE! so a plus for us guys!
Took the creative writing class, nice teacher, kind and supportive. There were some R rated pieces shared by students, but she generally recommended PG-13.
Best instructor on campus.
Super sweet!!! And very sexy!!
Professor Cardenas has been a helpful, encouraging professor for my Intro to Lit class. She made each genre very interesting and exciting - because that's how she sees it. She respects all opinions and doesn't believe she has the right answer or last word. I highly recommend Professor Cardenas. I have registered for her Creative Writing course.
She is definitely a hard grader, but I learned so much in her class. The class debate was probably one of the funnest experiences of my freshmen year at Grossmont. Bottom point, KISS: Keep It Simple Silly. That's what she wants in your writing, from what I've noticed.
Ms. Cardenas is a very helpful , but a hard grader. Just follow the essay prompts and you'll be fine. There's 20 pts. extra credit too and it will help you a lot. I don't really recommend buying the book. I didn't use it too much, although you need it for writing the Journal entries, but you can borrow it from the library anytime.
Cardenas was such a nice teacher. She was very patient with the older students and cared a lot about descriptive writing which gave you an opportunity to express yourself. Just do the essays and get the extra 5 points from the english department and you'll do fine! Easy class, I love her!
This was the first time that i had a bad experience with an English professor which sucks because I am a lover of English. Now i am skeptical about taking the next level of english class. I feel that she wasnt fair, she seemed to have her preferences with certain students
Nice teacher, lots of essays, not to hard! Tons of chances for extra credit.
VERY NICE PERSON!! i will take her class again!! you get to revise 2 essays! 5 points extra credit on every essay assignment. really flexible! she does read your papers and provides you with good feed back..!! book is required for some HW assignments.
Professor Cardenas is an excellent teacher. Its very hard to get an A+ in this class; however, it is easy to get an A. Definitely make use of the writing center to proof read your work. Shes one of my favorite teachers of all time!
This is an excellent teacher who really cares about student success. She incorporates peer reviews and the writing center to help students turn in the best possible essay.
If you don't enjoy literature or reading, this class isn't for you. Julie is a very nice and helpful teacher. She's very clear on instructions and her assignments can be a little difficult unless you do the reading. Visit her during her office hours. She gives great feedback.
Hands down one of the best classes I have ever taken. Professor is not only warm and helpful, but she assigns some of the most unique and creative projects. I never felt like my work was put down, and the workshopping process really improved my skills as a writer. HIGHLY recommended for anyone who enjoys writing.
She will give you good grades if you talk a lot in class. In order to know what to talk about YOU HAVE TO READ THE BOOK. Unless you like reading this class isn't for you because every class session there are multiple short story assignments due on top of ready a book and all the stupid projects she makes you do.
Ms. Cardenas is a first rate instructor. Project ideas are fresh and challenging. What is the point of going to college if we aren't going to be challenged? Set a goal, do the assignments, do the readings, come to class with notes, comments or questions and you will do well in this class. She will prepare you to think critically which is mandatory.
one of the best! she is so nice, understanding and encouraging. you can learn in her class and she is there to help. you have a chance to revise 2 essays 5 extra cridet when you go to the writingcenter she is a very fair grader. just do what she tells you and you'll get the A . you will walk out of the class satisfied and actually leaned something
I really enjoyed Juliana Cardena's class. She was very fair, encouraging, and gave great feedback. I liked assignments she assigned and totally appreciated the opportunities she gave us to improve our papers!! I did very well in this class, I was so happy to have such a great teacher!!
She does not use blackboard and you have no access to track your grades besides going to her. My assignments would have high grades but she would calculate my grades at lower score because she felt like it. Group projects she will not help you if you have an issue and will let your team be in charge of what happens.
1. She doesn't teach. I didn't learn anything 2. 7 essays. 5 at home, 2 in class. You can revise 2, that's how you get your A 3. 2 group projects/presentations 4. A number of journals. Scribbling whatever on your mind would do 5. 2 quizzes on 2 novels. True/False, fill in the blank, multiple choice. Easy 6. Many extra credit opportunities
Very sweet teacher who is willing to help.
The assignments were interesting and I learned a lot. The writing she had us do helps me come to terms with some inner demons. Sadly, I felt we spent too much time on the first essay leaving little room for the last few poems and the short story. Also The textbook was useless. She had us read one thing, and we never touched it again.
There is a lot of essays and a lot of reading. Sometimes it seems like she comes up with the lesson just seconds before getting class starts. Very hard to reach outside of class hours. Emails tend to go unanswered.
The assignments were fun and interesting. The class helped a lot in developing creative writing skills. As long as you turn stuff in, you'll get an A. The quality of the work didn't seem to matter when it came to grading.
Juliana Cardenas is an awesome teacher. This class is so easy. Just do the work. That's it. It doesn't even take long to complete the class. It doesn't matter if your writing sucks. She just grades effort. That's it. Also, you have to put a collection of your works together at the end, known as a zine. Awesome! 3
She offers extra credit throughout the semester. She is a nice person. I would not take her again as a teacher. The lectures are not taught well. There were a few students who came out of class puzzled by the lectures she gives.
The most understanding teacher youll ever get. Shell really appreciate your work
We were reading short stories and answering some questions for every homework assignment. Each chapter was about something different like point of view, character, setting, tone and style, theme. If you don't understand these very well then the test is going to be impossible to do. The class is a lot reading and writing a response.
All assignments must be in complete MLA format. Even if the information is there, if it is out of order, the assignment will be given a zero.
She allows you to fix assignments after theyre turned in. Check the comments on each graded assignment if you want to pass.
As a person, she's great. But as a teacher she's very assignment-heavy and the course is fast paced. She wouldn't get back to me on my emails so I had to drop the class. If you get the chance to take her in person classes, please do. But online learning has really taken away from the great classroom experience she used to give students.
This class was extremely helpful in teaching me all the elements to creative writing as I'm an English major! Professor C is so caring and sweet! Towards the end of the semester, I was flooded with work and would turn things in a week late, but she still gave me full credit! She answers emails quickly and overall the class was an easy A. Take her !
She is a pretty easy grader, and she's easy to contact. There is lots of reading. She assigns many mini-papers; however, she grades them generously. I think they're assigned just to ensure you're actually doing the reading. There are timed essay exams, but if you understand the reading, the questions are easy to answer.
Class was mostly reading from textbook and answering questions on the readings. A lot of work, but it was all pretty easy. Had to write and answer our own questions for the novel unit, which was a bit difficult. She seemed pretty unavailable. Overall, okay, but not my first choice of instructor.
Lots of reading and writing assignments, but Professor Cardenas is an easy grader. Utilize resources like Unstuck study for efficient study prep. Though not the most responsive, the class can be manageable with consistent effort.
Never seems to respond to emails, not a hard grader for this class at least, and will give full points for late assignments or assignments you fix past the due date
