i have failed English twice due to personal reasons but having Professor Palencia was a blessing. This was the first 6 week class I have taken and it was fairly simple. Most of the work was 3 essays , however, you get a whole week to do each of them. She also seems to care a lot for her students so that's a HUGE plus! Do your work and you'll be OK

Prof. Palencia is easily the best English teacher at Cerritos I would give her a 6/5 if I could. She is caring, understanding, and funny, she even bought us donuts. Class is easy and reasonable with 4 essays and a course-wide journal collected at the end. This class maintains a balance of learning while not being overwhelmed so come to class.

It's very hard to fail this class, there are 4 essays, discussion posts, and journal entries throughout her class. She is a very nice and funny professor and gives good feedback on any assignments.

I definitely recommend it and especially if you have a learning disability she explains very well gives you enough time to do your work as well resubmit.
