Overall good teacher. Tends to talk about celebrities at times. Kinda funny. Easy to understand. Likes to talk about current events. I had fun in her class, but i can't say i learned much.
All I can say, is just do her work and you will be fine. She will give you an A if you do your work. She cancels a lot of times because she canceled our classes like six times.
cool teacher
She's super easy. Does not require a book. She is fun I highly recommend her, you can receive an easy A just complete her assignments. She does cancel class a few times:) I like her so much I'm taking 1302 with her. So don't miss this easy chance.
Super Awesome Teacher!!!You will definitly learn something, and have fun while doing it. No book necessary. Not strict with abscenses. A lot of fun. I hope to have another class with her.
pretty easy professor. cancels class most of the time, easy A if you do your work. can't say i learned a lot though.
Loved her class. I have had her as a teacher before for another class and she was so fun as a teacher the first time i wanted her again as a teacher if i had the chance. Yes, she cancels class a bit but the thing is it does not affect the work you do in the class. She is very enthusiastic about the subject and cool to talk to.
I took her for summer2. this class was soo easy!Mrs.Escamilla is so nice, funny and understanding. She canceled class a bunch. Our topic was on text messaging,stupid easy!! id recommend her to everyone!! take her!!!
if your someone who likes to learn and has time on their hands, take her. if not this class can be a burden. she is a good teacher though, makes class interesting, and she does cancel class-later on in the semester though. not a tough grader, assigns A LOT of homework. but its college,so what do u expect.
She is really nice,attend to class and get extra credit, try to do all the assigments on time, and you will get A
She is really nice,attend to class and get extra credit, try to do all the assigments on time, and you will get A, sometimes she cancel her classes
if u want an easy A take her she is such an easy professor. she is very fair on grading you will have essays every week but theyre easy to do and if ur not lazy ur going to love the class...and she does cancell class often!!!
Great teacher, she is fun and interesting but she also teaches. There is no book, just articles to read... I enjoyed the class.
Great teacher. She makes you want to write about the subjects she hands out and is not afraid how sensitive the subject may be. You want your English teachers to be like this and you'll want to write 5 page essays
great teacher just read articles...she makes it interesting and is really into what she is teaching...i really enjoyed her class...and i got an a
Quirky, random teacher. She likes when students participate in her discussions. You have to read articles and write. As long as you do her assignments you will receive an A. I took her for 1302 then for Lit 2300. she makes her class interesting and fun.
at first i thought she was kinda wierd but it ended up being a mistake. she is a cool teacher and i got an A. pretty easy class just do the work and youll pass. i would recommend her.
The course was mainly online in the beginning such as discussions and what not and small assignments. One novel to read and 6 pg final paper and visual. I pulled off the A and she's suupper easy
She's really nice and kind of strange but she helps with any problems you might have in the class. As long as you do the assignments and in-class activities then you'll be able make an A. I recommend her!
need a lot of computer knowledge for this class if you don't have your going to get a bad grade. lots of assignments.
Random and quirky, she gets off topic sometimes. She likes when you speak up in class. Its an English class so you have to be prepared to write. Assignments are easy. I took her for 1302 also and she uses the internet a lot for assignments. So if you dont have a laptop be sure to use the lab centers.Really great professor!
She's kinda eccentric but in general, she's a pretty cool teacher. Class is fun since you can talk to her about almost anything. Gets kinda ticked whenever you make rudimentary mistakes on papers or assignments. As long as you do the assignments and participate in discussions about whatever book she assigns, you'll be set for a good grade.
Her class revolved around class participation, so if you don't like that, don't take her. She gives assignments often, but there's only a couple of major assignments. She always told the class to email her if we had a problem, but she NEVER answered her emails. I would personally not take her again, because I don't like such interactive classes.
Basically she is a nice teacher, but not a very good one.Her online instructions sometimes make no sense, she never answers her emails, all we do is read articles and write papers on them.I don't feel as though she has helped me become a better writer, which a consent subject and goal of the class.Won't take her again
i took her class for summer 1 & her class is very easy as long as you do the assignments. you wont have any problems because she explains everything! she does group activities so she makes the class fun. i recommend her. :)
Great teacher. Loved her unorthodox way of teaching. She stays on topic and is funny.
This teacher is great. Her assignments aren't too hard and as long as you're not lazy you'll do fine. She had us write 3 essays for her class and read a novel. Attendance isn't completely mandatory as long as you keep up with the work and if you miss an assignment, she DOESN'T take late work. Unless you have a really good excuse but otherwise, no.
I loved this professor, she is so sweet and very helpful. She loves english and knows so much about the subject. She always keeps class interesting. I recommend her. :)
If you like to work and do homework, take her she is the best option. Be carefull no one knows how she gardes and try to get 3 in all of the stuff she wants.
Great instructor. If you attend class and do the assignments you will do great in this class. She will assign 2 novels to read and discuss in class. She is super nice and assignments are fairly easy.
online intro2lit: we read4books, doesnt answer email, i counted 38 things2do (assignments, quiz, test) in this class so alot of work. u hav2dedicate chingos of time. i'm writin like dis cuz theres a limit. ur on ur own cuz theres no communication from her if u hav a question. i hated doin da discussions, then a 5-7 paper turnd in@da end.
i don't understand why we hav to do a 5-7pg paper, this is a LITERATURE class. not 1301 or 1302 ffs. also, it would help if on some assignments, she lets you know when u start. for the blogs, she doesnt tell u what u have to write about, like what chapters, so u guess. a lot of work. my Reminders list on my Mac is filled with all her assignments.
boring teacher, class not challenging, waste of time and money and shes lazy and has a temper
I took this class as an online class. She assigns alot of work and gives you the deadlines with the syllabus. There is alot of reading of novels and alot of writing but it is an easy class. Do the work and you'll make an A.
need books for everything. A LOT of work like others said. Tests are easy but hard to make 100 cuz she needs to make corrections cuz some questions are counted wrong. i did everything, my best, got a B :( agreed what was said abt paper, on how the books relate to society. hard to write 7pgs about that!
I do not recommend this professor! Extremely heavy course load. She does not stick to her due dates, and often changes things without telling the class. Almost all of her quizzes have mistakes in them. Also, she is very slow at grading, you will receive your grade a month or two after you turned in that assignment. Never available for office hours.
She is an unorthodox professor, but overall she is pretty cool and her assignments are fairly easy. No textbook this semester which is something new and better for us (don't have to waste money) and mostly everything will be submitted through broncmail and blackboard. and the occasional print and turn in assignments but hey, do the work get an A!
Pretty cool class! We had to form groups and stick with them for the rest of the course. During the semester my group and I had to volunteer and present in class every now and then. The professor also gives a lot of easy writing assignments. I ended up getting an A by just finishing all the little assignments and doing the one project (the final).
Escamilla is such a cool professor! She made us get in groups and had to do service learning for her class. No exams, only short responses for daily work. For her final you had to create a powerpoint presentation on what you learned from your service learning. Overall, good class, awesome professor and an easy A! Recommend:)
Ms. Escamilla is kinda boring and seems sad but class is not difficult if you do what she assigns. Normally read long articles that didn't have to even be all read to summarize in 350 words. We had to participate in a community thing and do a presentation but in my opinion easy if you follow and got my A.
I really enjoyed her class. She is entertaining but at the same time focused on what she wants you to learn. She would give daily assignments that included reading a few articles and making 250-word responses. The final project was fairly easy. I ended up getting an A.
Took 1302 during summmer session 1. I got an A but this class was difficult. Especially when she is more interested in talking about herself. She is impatient and has a temper. Does not like dealing with bull, but who does? Want an A? Do the assigned work.
Escamilla is a very funny teacher. Sometimes her instructions on homework might confuse students, but all you have to do is ask questions. She will always email you back! Be ready to write a lot and have homework everyday. The work is very easy if you attend her class though.
awesome!!!!!
Ms. Escamilla is the best professor i have ever had. If you don't pass her class it could only be because you didn't go to the class most of the time or you didn't turn in the work. She only made us read fun books and she makes you see the importance of a community. She likes Service learning so get ready for that. Amazing teacher .
I wasn't too sure about Ms. Escamilla at first, but as the semester went on I realized it was just me! She is usually in a good mood, she is very honest too. She gives extra credit, she has a service learning you must go to. I had to buy one 10 dollar book, and you will have group projects. Attend class each day if you want to pass.
Easy class but expect a lot of work. Homework just about everyday. Service learning is a must so expect that as well; she has a big thing for that. She is very, but has a temper and will use it if she feels the need to. Has no tolerance for excuses or why something wasn't done. Sends e-mails constantly to remind you what is due next class.
Throughout the semester you were in a group and had to do a lottt of group projects together which got annoying at times. You also have to write a response for everything you do in this class! Most of the time her assignments were confusing but as long as you do them you are okay. Make sure to attend class if not she will drop you.
Took her for summer 1, very fun class had to watch a tv show and discuss it every episode! She can be rude sometimes but is usually helpful, everything besides the discussions is in groups
Took her for English 1301 and 1302, tries to intimidate you at first, really easy assignments and has several extra credit assignments. Go to class and you will pass. Has group assignments, a little frustrating. The only way you won't pass is if you don't go to class and do your homework. No exams just assignments. Would take her again easy A.
Professor Escamilla is an excellent teacher. She sort of has an obsession with group projects and service learning, but overall it's not too bad. Usually there's a homework assignment after every class, but responses aren't expected to be huge. Very sarcastic, but you'll enjoy her demeanor. If I had the chance, I would take her again.
She is a great professor . She can be unclear sometimes so you probably have to double check assignments. No exams just a big final project which is a bit time consuming. She also gives a lot of assignments so be aware if you're a procrastinator. Attendance is important because she does grade for participation
She is a great professor. I would take her again but not lol. She is very talkative and likes to talk about what is happening in the news etc. She is nice and some what funny. I recommend her although there is plenty work but not hard at all. Just do the work right and it'll be an easy A.
WORST professor!!! Beware of this professor you're better of taking some else. Be warned
Awful class and rude professor. Don't take her!!
This professor sucks at Engl your better off taking someone else for reals!! She assigns essays every single day!! And is a Tough grader!!
Easy F !!!
This professor is a pain in the ass. She's a rude B!!
Don't recommend this class!
Worst professor in the English department!!!
I was surprised to read negative reviews on Professor Escamilla, I took her for Creative Non-Fiction, and it was an easy A. Expect home work, journals, reading articles, essays, pro- folio and lots of in class discussions. But, if you do all this you will be fine. One thing I will say is she cancels class a lot, and no feedback on your work.
All reading material is provided for free through blackboard. Papers are easy if writing comes naturally to you. Must be able to speak up in class when discussing articles. Extra credit is available, but is enjoyable. Not all assignments are necessary for an A, but there is no reason to skip any of them. Professor has contacts for writers.
Beware of this professor she's sooo rude and sarcastic to the students all the time! If you decided to speak with her in the office hours she will cut u off while your talking! A hella tough grader! And there is alote of group projects!! She wants ur essay to be spotless!! Just don't she awful and a repulsive English professor!! DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!
She gives tons of work and goes off topic in class on things of interest to her. She may act really nice in class, but has been known to be unnecessarily rude to students on a personal level. I once asked for help on an assignment since the instructions were unclear and she constantly accused me of not paying attention. Would not recommend at all.
The whole course is based upon Service Learning, so she's going to try and get you to go out and help out in organizations. In my class we put together a Zombie Walk. She's a good professor, I don't understand why she has bad ratings. She is caring and really wants to help students. The class is not hard at all if you don't mind writing.
She is cool and very knowledgable.
Passionate about teaching. Heavy group work and group grading. Makes class have energy and is fun. No tests. No books to buy. No Final with the exception of major essay and presentation projects. Sometimes cancels class so check your email daily. Sometimes unclear on overlapping projects so use your tools and group members. Nice and smart professor
Professor Escamilla is such a sweet heart ! I loved her lectures , you can tell that she really loves to teach and she cares about her students alot! I would definitely take her again, shes always there to help and always has a great smile on her face ready to help you!
She is the best English professor ever! I took her for 1301 & 1302. It is really hard to fail her class. You are pretty much in a group the whole semester but there is individual work. There are no tests and no final just a major essay which is combined by other small 250 word essays you do, and a presentation. Super easy and would take again!
Easiest class in my life. Doesnt really take attendance and gives you an A for turning the work in. Cancelled class all the time. Take her!!!!

An amazing professor! I would recommend to everyone taking English 1301 and 1302
I always looked forward to going to this class. Take her course if you want an easy A!
She's the sweetest person ever, her class is very easy, she posts everything on blackboard and she only grades what you do
She requires a lot of work and writing, will have you participate in events on campus and off campus write a paper about it and take it for a grade. It was an easy A but just be ready to do loads of work all semester. Final was an essay. she also offers extra credit which is a plus
Easiest A of my life. She is very nice and laidback. There is no midterm/final. The book is not required. There are many group assignments and writing assignments but very easy. You will do volunteer work and go to events on campus but I didnt mind it. Only way to fail is to not do the assignments. She also gives lot of extra credit. Take her!!!
My only complaint is she's very unorganized. You won't know your true grade until right before grades are due.
She's a great professor. I took her my first AND second semester of my freshman year of college. ( 1301 & 1302 ) She has a great personality and it makes you want to go to class, even if its at 8am. It's a very hands-on class, so you definitely need to show up. Overall it's an Easy A, as long as you participate and show interest. 100% recommend.
LITERALLY THE BEST!
The class is basically all in modules where they tell you what to do. The professor was more for guidance.
Took hybrid course. Her class was fairly easy. Multiple assignments to work on, but not heavy on essays. One final essay as a test grade. Instructions were on blackboard (email if any questions). We had a group project with Honduran students. Do the assignments and you'll be good. Gives extra credit. Takes attendance. Easy to get along with.
I previously took her 1301 course. All you have to do is follow the instructions on blackboard. Graded by couple of assignments, one research paper, one presentation, and we did have to volunteer at a center of our choice.
I had her for 1302, summer 2. She gave out clear instructions and easy assignments. As long as you do your work. Then your all set for her class.
She's fantastic! I definitely recommend her for 1301 and 1302. She's very understanding and willing to work with you. Most of her work is group work but it's easy and fun. I assure you'll really like her class it's such a fresh breath of air.
She does not post grades till the end. Announcements are on blackboard and assignments are submitted via email. If you need a professor who has structure, she is not the professor for you. If you have her for hybrid, it is as per her schedule when she needs to be out hence the "hybrid" which you aren't notified till the day of, 15 minuets before.
She is the best and most lenient professor i've had. The only downside is she doesn't keep Blackboard organized but it doesn't compare to her teaching and kindness. I'm taking her again for engl 1302
Awesome teacher loved very much and so intriguing.
She is a good professor, but she canceled class a bunch of times. Which meant when it came to the final presentation it was akward because we never went to class and were strangers to each other, but it's not her fault she just had surgery, over all a easy grader just do the assignments and you gucci
This class was great but unorganized. This was probably because class was canceled numerous times due to her having doctors appointments. We did a lot of class discussion and out of class discussions. It was an easy A if you do all of your work and attend class. If you need organization among your assignments don't take this class.
did not like the group project i personally had to do with my class. members were not helping which made me fail the final. she was not organized at ALL. eventually i failed the course but i took it again and i was able to pass with another professor.
Amazing professor!!! She's so much fun and interacts with the students. I had service learning and a bilingual class with her. It was intimidating at first but I'm super glad I didn't drop her. Not so so much writing mostly reading, weekly journals, and group projects/presentations!
DON'T TAKE HER!!! She cancels class a lot, she's unorganized, and doesn't respond to emails.
She isn't a bad teacher at all, just seems disorganized majority of the time. There were times where she cancelled class for personal reasons, so explanations for assignments weren't always clear. Setup for assignments was also confusing and she hasn't input grades yet with only two weeks left. Group work is heavy in this class. Overall, wasn't bad
This class is super chill! The instructor is really understanding and flexible with deadlines. There's lots of group work, so you're never alone, and presentations are done with your team. Not many essays—more creative stuff like PowerPoints. The vibe is welcoming, and you'll feel supported the whole time! 10/10 class would take again!!
Really awesome and sweet teacher! Enjoyed her class a lot and I started the year off roughly due to academic and work burnout,but she helped me to and gave me opportunities to make up for it! Escamilla the goat bro
