Really helpful and frienly professor. He might look old, but he sometimes acts and think like an 18-year-old. He understands perfectly what his students want and need. He grades easily, as long as you show effort and do the work. Sometimes he likes to rattling on about his own experience, but it's not too irritating. He's super cool. Take him!

Mr. Falcon is a super cool guy. His class is a breeze as long as you have the grammar skills of a preschooler, you should be alright. He spends the time with students to ensure great essays. The only problem I had with him is that he tends to ramble off topic during classes. Besides that, he is a great guy and his class is easy.

He recently changed his class material. I had him for Winter 2016 and his class was all about monsters. I found it very interesting, however, he does give a lot of work since there is homework every night. That may have been because our class was only 5 weeks, but he grades easy nonetheless and he does not expect much. Definitely recommend him.

Best of the best. I took him for winter 2016, and I loved this class even though I am not a big fan of English, and English is my second language. Understands his students. Very helpful. Very kind. He goes off topic sometimes, but his stories are interesting. I would say it is an easy A for those who studies. Definitely recommend him!

The man's kind of losing his mind and tends to go off on tangents, but I didn't care. A lot of his class involved watching movies and tedious homework assignments. However, it's easy to get on his good side and do well. His prompts aren't too hard, and the topics are the most interesting you'll ever write about in an English class. Rather chill.

Honestly Mike Falcon was the greatest professor I've ever had. By the end of the semester he was more of a friend to me than a professor. His assignments do require effort but he is always there to help you and has a clear grading criteria.

I loved this class. Mr. Falcon is funny and encouraging. You learn & you try out some really fun creative activities. Fair grading. The usual readings & essays, but the creative exercises are graded on completeness instead of some idea of talent. I'm not the most creative person in the world & that did NOT affect my grade.

He's overall not a bad person. But he always acts according to his mood. If he is in a bad mood he treats you like a slave. Also when he lectures his voice is low and he speaks low and doesn't care that you don't hear anything. His class is not argumenatative. He says he doesn't care about our opinions in essay. Thats not what instructor should do.

I took his Humant. 117 this fall at GCC. He teaches according to his mood. If he's in a good mood all you'll be doing is watching movies and drawing in your journal. If he is in a bad mood, RUN. No really just do what he says and keep your mouth shut, he will kick you out of class or drop you. If you want to learn don't take his class. Easy A tho.
