Excellent English teacher at De Anza College. She loves to teach English. I highly recommend her class. I really enjoyed her class. After took her class, you loved English especially grammar.
Kathy Flores who is the De Anza College ESL teacher taught me during the spring quarter of 2007. She doen't gave us much home works to do. But she criticize me said, I don't have the ability to pass this class which is High Indermediate Grammar and writting ESL 253. But I ingore her because if I don't pass I'll take it again with a different teac
Kathy was my teacher in fall 2006 and winter 2007.She explained grammar well and we didn't have any problem.I think you both fail,so you wrote something nonsense about her.Kathy was born in the United States,so English is her first language.If she had a horrible English,I can magic how your English are!Also take English with another teacher who cares!
Kathy is the best English teacher that I have ever had at De Anza College.She explains grammar well,and you will learn good grammar from her.She is really nice,hard worker and warm heart woman.Her class is interesting.Don't miss her class.Everyone love her.
Kathy is really on the ball; she knows how to teach to her students. She cared a lot about her students. She always helped her students come rain or shine. By and large her class isn't humdrum, and the students get a kick out of her class because she is a fun and hot person.
Kathy is the best teacher I have ever had.She acts more like a sister than a teacher with a lot of smile.She cares a lot about her students.She is very knowledgeable helpful and nice person.Her kindness encourage me to learn and love English.Willing to help her students.I highly recommend her class.you'll love her.I wish she never retire.
She doesn't have any experience about her job. She is the worst teacher i had in my life. i am sorry about this teacher. without her booklet she is nothing.she is very horrible woman in world.
The real thing is ,she think her students are dumb and foll.You know why ?She always bring a choclet and candy to show her as a good teacher but in reality she is a jerk.She will give you horrible exam that you can ever emagin whats the answer.If you guys really want to enjoy english I strongly can say DO NOT TAKE THE CLASS WITH THIS TEACHER.
Kathy Flores doesn't explain things very well to us. I had class with her in 2007. She is very horrible, and she doesn't teach to us. I regret that I took 253 with Kathy.....:((
Kathy is a good teacher.Even though you can't get very high grade in her class,but you can learn a lot.
Kathy is the best teacher I have never had in De Anza college. She may not very good at ESL 253, but she is extremally helpful in ESL 244. I hightly recommend you guys take her class in ESL 244.
Her explanations are hysterical! I felt myself uncomfortable in her class. I learned something, but I never take her class again.
I am not recommending!
Kathy is an extremely helfpful teacher and very nice person. Everyone who wants to improve own English and have lotta fun should take her class!
she is the best teacher. Her teaching is very fun and helpful. Choose her class, you won't regret
she is pretty hard but she is a good teacher. u will not feel bored on her class. u need to do lot of homework, and prepare well on quiz.(she is beautiful)
I really like her class cause she is really nice.You don't have to afaid to be ask questions in her class.Even your answer is wrong it's fine.It's a relaxing class.You will have lots hw but helpful and the novel she choose is interesting.I seldom speak in class but she would let me have chance to speak.i like her and i really learned a lot.
Teacher is the best instructor I have had. She has a good sense of humor and her class is never boring. You will do a lot of homework, but it is worth it. you should get her class as I would highly recommend it because it is really practical.
She is a very good teacher, and very helpful. Her quiz sometimes is kind of hard, lots of HW, and you should study well. She is an interesting teacher, and lecture is very important.
She is talent in teaching,and she knows every thing that she should teach.I absolutely respect her.
her lecture makes us so complicated about writing.I Never heard writing style like that. also, she's so rude. she sent us e-mail said that we didn't show efforts on essay. only 1~2 got passed score. also Quizs has only short answer Qs so she might grade it in purpose with personal emotion. So DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS IF U WANT TO PASS ESL263
This is not ESl class. most of students feel that it is EWRT class. even we followed her instruction for writing, she commented "be specific" every single essays..I'll grade this professor with F
Worst class I have taken so far. I'm not recommend.
Dont take this teacher ever, believe me shes not a good person. She has no respect for people,she'll abuse u in front of the class, not very nice at all.
I take ESL244 class with her, and I learn a lot. Her class is funny, but there are too much homework. I got A+ in the exam.While i didn't recommend her because you will get confused about writting. Het writing style is really weird.
I really hate her class.
She goes through a lecture way too fast. like fast fast and not clear.
I took her 263,and she's a excellent teacher to teach writing at DeAnza.Although her writing requirements are strict,it's most useful to prepare me to reach a higher level of writing,and her writing topics are so common,which,I believe,you guys may have been familiar to/even practiced in your native country.Trust me&take her class;good 4 u in 273.
She'll put you down with pressures. She goes through her lectures really fast. She grades strictly and unfairly. Her quizes are even the hardest. She always put the hardest questions on your quizes.Once you pass her class, youll pass the portfolio. She pretends to be a good teacher in people's eyes but unsuccesses. Not recommended. Not at all!!!
Kathy is the best teacher in De an za. she is helpful and nice, but it is hard to get a high grade. students who can get A from her is genious. highly recommend
hard teacher, and get A is too difficult, but you can learn a lot. recommend to challenge
Kathy is a horrible teacher to teach 263.Lecture is too fast, and she forces her students to follow her ideas. the worst class ever.
Kathy is so rude her students, and strict in 263.
Kathy is a horrible teacher. She is extremely strict and rude. Her quiz is hard, and teaching style makes people uncomfortable. not recommend!!!!
Kathy is very pretty, but I hate her class. She is too strict and her lecture is fast..it's like a super rocket. fast and fast. Not recommend to take her.
Really hard. Not recommend. She is a good person, but the teaching does not fit our level. It seems that we write almost everything wrong.
she gives you full stress. the only thing that she think is can you pass my class or not. nothing is acceptable for her instead of you doing your best. if she like you, maybe can pass her class. I never ever take her class. it was my worse class that I ever had.
She is very nice and helpful. However, it 's hard to get A in her class
Hard training and good outcomes I Don't regret when I took this class. She's not nice w any one who don't do homework and don't pay attention in class. Study hard and do home work, carefully check the answer in tests, you will get A
Do not expect an easy "A"... expect study, practice a lot in your writing and in the end you will surprise how grow your writing skills. Kathy is VERY helpful. She follows agenda,her teaching strategy is straightforward, and thanks God no silly games during the class. English writing is different from your native writing- listen her corrections!
If you are on this page, I'm pretty sure you want to enroll in an easy class. However, this class is definitely not the class for you because she will put pressures on you. Not clear on how to write a good essay, harder quizzes. 3 essays. she does not respect students. RUDE! If you want an easy-going class. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!
If u want to be smart,take her. If u want an easy class, DONT take her. I'm satisfied that I learned A LOT! The topics of our WA were interesting. the classes were interesting, involving and totally not boring. I think Kathy is smarter and for sure much more picky and strict than other teachers, that's why u know all your mistakes,which is great
She is a good teacher. You will learn a lot in this class. However, if you want to get an A, it requires a lot of work and you have pretty good writing skills. Good luck to you.
hard to get a good grade
harder than my EWRT 1A professor. You know what I mean...
She is strict and mean, but she teaches very well. Her explain is very clear and easy to understand. It's hard to get an A, but it is worth it.
I believe she is the best ESL professor ever. Her lecture is tough though, she teaches very very well, and she gives you a lot of opportunities to improve your reading, grammar, speaking, and writing skills. If you are a new student, you should take her class. The experience would help you to survive at De Anza lol.
MEAN TEACHER! Taking her class is the worst choice I ever made. Her teaching style makes people fell so uncomfortable. She likes to make fun of students. Never show her respect to students. She always forces us to follow her ideas.
She is a good professor. Her teaching style is quite understandable and her examples are quite good. Follow her rules but she's like Ohh your writing is very Chinese like. Constructive criticism?she is kinda degrading but you will learn from her. If you want to learn take her class. If you value your selfworth, don't coz she does not value empathy.
She is a good teacher but in the writing assignment, her grade was so hard. Depend on her style. If she like you, you will be fine. If you are not her lover, you will be in danger. If you want to learn grammar, you can take. If not, don't lose your time. Find the better one professor.
i passed this class at the border line. she grades HARSH on the writing assignments, especially on grammar section. If u are not good at writing, DON'T take her. Ok, if u need to take her, then go to her office hours before ur writing assignments due and change your grade to P/NP. U will feel much better. keep in mind, she is not a easy teacher
If you are a normal student like me, and your grades are around A and B and you are not a professional writer, don't take 263 with her, if you took it change to P/NP. I am not able to explain what she wants. she expects you to write like a professional writer and critical thinker.
Her grading style is really hard, you can't never get a "A" in her class. DO NOT take her class, trust me you will not pass. Even you worked 24 hours, and you write a good ESL students' essay. She will think that's not enough. She wants professional essay. Base on her teaching style, I think she should not be teaching ESL class.
She is a nice person! Of course! But it is very very difficult to get an A. If you want to get an A, youd better think for twice. However, you could learn a lot from her class. Be ready for a lot of quiz! And she is really strict on the writing assignment.
Her class is very tough and her grading is awful, you must follow her grading style to pass plus if she didn't like you'll never pass. She gave me a lot of stress in this class. I wish i couldn't take her before.
She's an excellent and friendly teacher for esl students, but her grading is not that friendly. You never get an A in her class even you done all your home and did well. If you have to take her class, don't be late and dont be absent!!!
This class is the worst class I've ever had. The instructor discriminates against the students. The standard for scoring are not clear. Since it's a writing class, the instructor's subjective view plays a big role in scoring. No matter how hard you try, you don't get a better score every time. If instructor likes you, you can still get good grade.
Think carefully if you want to take her class. Most students in my class got c, and I found even several failed students. Very tough grader also in homework and I cant agree on her grading criteria because it is not clear. Hard prompt and style in Final. Her expectation is too high to follow. I lost confidence rather than learning anything.
Her class is disorganized. Also she is very strict with the score
this is the worst teacher at De Anza college don't even try to take her class you are not going to pass. I have my friend she needs 1 point to pass she didn't give her that point and she didn't pass she will be good and handful just for the first couple weeks after that you will see her Real face. all the students hit her Do NOT TAKE HER
She is always against me.
1. Does not allow in class communication between classmates 2. She is not your friend, she doesnt care about you 3. Gives a s**t load of homework 4. Does not allow absence NO MATEER WHAT REASON Tips: If you are only looking to clear your language prerequisites, AVOID AT ALL COSTS If you want learn, you can try to take her classes
The online Esl class of professor Kathy Flores is the most amazing class I've ever taken. Her online class in particular was very lively, she didn't put us in separate groups for too long like some other teachers did. She sets high demands on students but she also teaches very seriously & hard, I think this is fair.
Professor Flores is amazing! Her classes are well structured, grading is very clear, and most of all, all questions are welcomed and answered! Yes, you will need to work hard, but it worth it. I'm happy that I took her classes!
There are a lot of quizzes, 1 midterm and final. And everyday homework, weekly online homework. If you want to get an A, It is impossible. But if you want to get PASS and wanna some fun class? Take this. The lectures are funny, organized, and clear. There is a lot of chance to talk with classmates. I really enjoyed this class and love Kathy!!
Do not take classes with that professor. She is not your friend and she is not interested in helping and supporting her students. Worst experience in college so far. Unclear instructions for assignments and she doesn't care! Please be aware of her and never take her classes. I will not for sure!
This professor don't explain any assignments carefully and expect us to do exactly what she wants. Never take this class! I got As on all my classes but this. Really bad! WARNING!
Don't take this TBA class!!! She doesn't teach anything but hopes you to spend at least 10h every week and her syllabus copy from Linda Yee directly. Moreover, you must go to writing center at least 1h per week, because they are grading part!!! She is tough in grading essay. We have over 30 students in this class at first but now only 5 students!!!
Never take her class! That's impossible to get grades above B in her class. I can complain 1000 words for this class but in conclusion, never take her class. That is the worst class I have ever taken.
Don't teach anything, but expect you know everything.
The worst instructor I've ever had
Her grades so hard, and always gives you 0 or half points for your writing assignments.She told me she takes pride in having control over students grade: She assumes all students chooses P/NP and most students final grade should be a little bit lower than pass grade.Then,she can decide whether you can pass this class based on her impression of you.
She forces you to follow her idea to write a veird essay structure. If you against her, your essay will never get a pass grade. You can only write ONE idea for one body paragraph, then give one or two SUPER SUPER SPECIFIC personal examples to support your idea. Never try to write a general idea or more than one idea in one body paragraph.
Never take her class unless you want to fail. I don't believe any student can get over B. Awful professor, WARNING!!!
After I took her class, I was so regretful that I did not believe the review and was overconfident . As an ESL class, her class made me feel much more stressed than the major classes because she was so strict and really really really very difficult to pass. About 50% of the students could not pass her class. Good luck.
I never knew someone could be so lazy and spiteful. HW can only upload once & open Fri.- Mon.12:00pm,u can't find her on weekand.(Easy misunderstanding.IDK why she can't set time at Sun.11:59pm or Mon.11:59pm).Never be surprised to get 0 in HW though u put effort to finish.Only 5 out of 9 students pass,rest of them not eligible to submit portfolio.
Kathy is the most judgmental and stubborn person I have ever met. You have to write an essay in 110 minutes. If she suspects you google it, even though GPT 0 & Turnitin confirmed their's no plagiarism. Shen still believes you read the non english materials and translated them into english. All your explanations are in vain and then you'll get 0.
Love her calss!!! She is a god. My English has rocketed past the native speakers within 12 weeks. Out of all the teachers at De Anza, Kathy is definitely one of them
Rude for students
avoid awkward
Arrogant attitude
Do you want to be recognized for your hard work? If so, please don't take her class
She expressed her political stance in class. She doesn't like Republican...
She is very rude for her students, I would not call her a teacher.
Avoid Kathy's class if possible - she's known to be very rigid and unforgiving. The workload and strict grading make it extremely challenging, even for strong writers. Use unstuckstudy and study hard to have any chance of passing.
i consider myself a good student i don't believe the comments. but they are true. she no teach anything and wants you fail
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! This professor has made me crash out so many times, and this class has been the most stressful of all the courses I have taken here at De Anza. She does not care about her students, and her feedback on assignments is not respectful. It is honestly so frustrating
impossible to pass
Take Kathy Flores = F grade
