This was my first ever college professor and we were her first ever students. She is a great professor who gives really good lectures and helps you out a lot. She is caring and respectful and good teacher all around
Professor Palencia is one of the greatest professor I have meet so far. She is a very amazing and fun teacher! Very great lectures as well!
Comparing myself from the very beginning when class had started, to when there was only a few weeks left of class. I noticed a dramatic change in my writing, as well as speaking. She gives a good amount of support in order for her students to be successful with their assignments. I'm grateful to have gotten her as my professor this semester.
She is one of the nicest teachers I have ever had. I would recommend taking this teacher cause she actually will listen to you if you talk to her.
Amazing professor. She is very helpful and nice very approachable to ask for questions. Gives great feedback for essays.
Professor palencias class was the first class that I took this semester and its the best decision I made. She is an amazing professor great to talk to. Gives great feedback. Would definitely take this class again.
I was nervous about starting college for the first time, but Professor Palencia was the sweetest and most caring teacher I have ever met. She helped me improve my writing so much and she is there to help you whenever you need it. The class is not difficult. If you do your best, you will not fail! I will be taking her again next semester for ENG103!
I highly recommend her to incoming freshmen
Very helpful with students, will answer all questions very flexible with office hours
She is awesome. Truly understands what means to do a subject material. She always has some interesting topics in class, which makes the class not be boring.
Wonderful professor! Very passionate and organized. She's one of the nicest professors I've ever had. she always has a smile and is always ready to answer your questions. She really cares about the students and their grades. Gives great feedback for essays.
It's been a pleasure to be part of her class, I've learned so much and regret the moments that I was unable to complete my assignments because of Covid-19, if my circumstances would of been different, I would of done a lot better in the class, but all in all, she's there for the students every step of the way and helps you understand the material.
Wonderful professor! It was a pleasure to be part of her class, I learned alot from the amount of time we did have in class unfortunately due to Covid-19, we had to finish the semester online. Personally i feel like I would of done a lot better in the class but regardless of that, she's there for her students every step of the way.
Professor Palencia is one of the best teachers on campus. This is my second semester having her for both ENG 100 & 103, and I have learned so much from her. I am going to miss her class. Even with the issues going on with the COVID19 pandemic, she has been there and kept the class up-to-date. The class work is super easy and she gives revisions.
Profe Palencia is a GREAT professor! Her lessons are helpful and understandable. She is available outside of class, during class, by email. Her assignments are spaced out in order to have enough time to complete and not be stressed or overwhelmed. Her grading is normal and gives you opportunities to catch up. Overall, would 100% recommend !!!!
Professor Palencia is a professor that you can tell loves her job. She cares that you pass the class but she still reminds you to not be lazy. She goes off topic here and there which for me was okay because that's what kept the class engaged and fun. She is super sweet so if you're stuck on something, don't be afraid to ask for help! :)
best professor i have ever had! she is so helpful and caring. if you need help on an assignment she is there for you, if you have a question she will break it down for you until you understand. you wont regret taking her class ! that's a promise.
Prof. Palencia is very good with keeping a structured and organized class. With a set term schedule everything is ready as soon as you walk through the door so realistic expectations to succeed at the beginning of the course can be had.
Professor Palencia is amazing. She knows how to get her students engaged durning lectures. She is very understanding as long as you speak to her about what is going on.
Professor Palencia is one AMAZING English professor! I absolutely loved being in her class, I learned so much . Now I'm a better writer ;)! During her lectures she uses fun activities that engage the whole class, it was one of my favorite things from her class. She is super nice and sweet, always willing to help you out in your assignments.
Totally recommend taking any of professor palencias english classes. She explains every assignment very well, never once felt lost in her class. Due to the virus our class moved online and she was always there if you needed help! She cares about her students.
I struggle with English a lot but she made it easy to follow along and will do one on one sessions to help you better understand what the essay is about. She is probably one of the best I have had who answers quickly when whenever I needed help.
Ms. Palencia is one of my easiest professors. I enjoyed the interactions and how she made the assignments clear for us. Recommended.
I really recommend her as your go to professor for English 103. She is very helpful at explaining every assignment and very organized when it comes to lectures. She also gives great feedback on papers and helps you outside of class if you need it. Overall she is a great english professor and is very passionate.
This was my second time having her. It is always a pleasure. She is a very understanding professor especially with COVID-19 situation. Would take her class a third time if shed let me.
Professor Palencia is so far the best professor I have taken for english 100 and 103. I definitely recommend her english courses, she does everything she can to provide you with all the help she can possibly give you. So far my favorite class!
Professor Palencia is an outstanding teacher. Her class is one of the best I've ever taken. She explains her assignments way ahead, and gives you examples and insights. She helps you, and I'd take her class again if opportunity is given.
Professor Palencia is probably going to be my favorite professor Ive ever had Ive took her class for the second time and I honestly dont regret it. She is super sweet and is amazing at explaining. She is very approachable if you have any questions or concerns. If I could I would take her class all over again. 3
She is a professor that is really nice and is really caring to others. She also helps out her students with any assignments she gives out in her class. She will do whatever she can to help out as much as she can. She can also she funny sometimes and can sometimes make things easy for us on the work. This is a class that is really good to have.
If you're looking to take an English class, I recommend taking Professor Palencia. You'll absolutely love the classroom environment and all the assignments that come with it. She takes her time to explain the criteria in order to better your understanding. Professor Palencia is very dedicated and loves her job very much!
Professor Palencia class is a perfect English 100s to begin college. Her class is very clear and her powerpoints are up on canvas which is very helpful. She is also available to you in her office hours and her tutor hours at the EOPS. 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND TO ANYONE WHO NEEDS TO LEARN AND PASS ENGLISH 100S!
Overall an amazing, patient professor. I would definitely recommend her because she takes the time to break down each and everything as best as she can to students. She is an inspiration and a true educator who actually cares about her students.
There is not really much that can be said about this class. This was my first time taking a 100 class and all I can say is I really enjoyed myself! From the breakdown of the first lesson down to the last. I actually found myself talking about the subjects to my friends and I am not just saying that. I would love to take more classes she teaches!
Prof. Palencia is one of the best English professors Ive ever had. You wont regret taking this class if you are working full time or part time because the assignments are simple and straight forward. No excuse to fail.
Professor Palencia made ENGL 100 so much fun! One of the tags I used was "GET READY TO READ" because you will be reading a novel but it's amazing. You will love the book. As for the work just turn in the assignments on time and it's an easy pass.
Professor Palencia is a very organized and clear communicator. The course is well thought out with clear learning goals. She challenges you to go beyond what you read, engage with it, and share your thoughts and feelings. The class is relevant to current events and academic demands.
Professor Palencia was a very good. Her class was my 1st online class Ive taken. You do read a lot. And she dose give a lot of work but she makes them fun and interesting to do. I would definitely take her again and would recommend her.
This professor gives clear instructions and has a clear grading criteria. There is also a lot of reading in this class.
Very helpful when coming to problems as i hadn't had the book she gave me one the next day. Her homework was fairly easy as she told you what it was and you had a week (in covid). Quick to respond to emails and i would recommend taking the 6 week course as its easier then expected.
She doesn't assign a lot of homework but you definitely have to read and watch the material she provides. She responds to emails fairly quickly. She definitely works with you in order for you to pass the class, she shows that she cares.
Amazing I know with covid things arent that great I would of preferred in class since I personally feel like I learn better and pay more attention, but overall she did amazing and it was a fun class.
The work she assigns in this class is pretty interesting to do. Also, reading is important but overall I enjoyed the class.
The course the professor provides is straightforward and engaging. She is very flexible and gives you enough time to do your work. overall a pleasant experience with interesting work.
This professor is really great she is always on time she helps you out when you have questions she reapinds fast and her class work is very reasonable and understandable. You must pay attention and you will get it all down to her classwork. Im glad i took her class and you should too if you want to learn here
Professor has a great way of breaking down the assignments and will make sure you understand the subject before assigning any work. She is great and gives you extra credit opportunities too!
What I loved about the course is the writing, what I least liked is the reading but I got through it. Shes good at giving us constructive criticism on our papers. We do a lot in the course but I was hoping to do an autobiography on someone as homework. She really is a good professor and I would recommend to anyone interested in taking English100s
I really enjoyed taking this class even though it was on line. I think in class would have been so much more fun and interesting with all the discussions and activities Ms Palencia uses as part of her teaching approach. I would definitely recommend her!! She's flexible and always there to help you. Thank you!
Professor Palencia is a great professor. I took her online english 100S course. Even though this class is online I still felt like she was accessible and she really wants all her students to succeed. I would definitely take her class again if I could.
Amazing professor! She helps you no matter what and is very considerate. Gives you good feedback and is very creative with her assignments. Would take a class under her again 10/10
I really enjoyed this class! This was my first year going back to school (during a pandemic) and let me tell you Mrs. Palencia made this experience easier than what I thought it would be. You can tell she cares about her students and is always available to help if needed. She also gives extra credit opportunities which was great! Awesome teacher!!
She is always there to answer any questions you have
I would take Professor Palencia class a million times again. She is very clear with what she wants and gives you opportunities to fix things, as well as great feedback which is enormously helpful. I am so glad I took her class and I hope I can take her again in the future.
Its an online course, so if you don't get started on work early it catches up to you later, good class over all and the novel was a good choice, I enjoyed reading it.
Her class is amazing, shes amazing as well despite being an asynchronous class online she manages to explain everything in detail with clarity so us students can complete our assignments. Some of the assignments that are assigned to us were fun such as the dating profile where you basically created a tinder for yourself.
English has always been my hardest subject but taking this class with Mrs. Palencia was a game changer. Her lectures are very clear and all the assignments were interesting and made me enjoy writing. I was not able to finish the class but she was very helpful to give me a chance to make up for missing assignments in the last weeks of class.
Professor Palencia is a marvelous teacher. Her lectures and classwork are very interesting to do and fun. She makes learning fun and she is very considerate about students time. She gives a perfect amount of work to still be able to do other homework or anything outside of school.
She is a very caring professor who cares about our success and helps us when we are struggling or have any sort of difficulty. She is very accessible and answers emails so fast which is amazing..
Beast English teacher at Cerritos college. Makes each lecture or assignment entertaining! Available always when you need her help!! 10/10
I highly recommend Professor Palencia for English 103. She was great and throughout the entire semester and I would take another class with her in the future!
Wonderful professor! Grades assignments in a timely matter, replies back to question in a timely matter, an a is very helpful with feedback. Would recommend her class.
I, for one who does not like to write, but the work was interesting topics. If you ask for help, Professor Palencia will give you great feedback. Her grading is tough, but I wouldn't want it any different.
Professor Palencia left clear instructions for all assignments and she let us know she was here to help.
It was a delight to learn some English lessons. She is awesome ��
Professor Palencia is awesome! I had a great experience especially since this was my first class in a long time. She made the material understandable answers all questions and makes time for you if needed. Great topics that engage you.
I have taken English 100 a few times, and she was the best teacher I had. There were not many assignments, but the assignments assigned were a doable amount of work.
She was great and explains assignments thoroughly.
Definitely take her class! It was my first class at Cerritos College and I would for surely recommend students to take her as well. There are about 2-3 homework assignments due by the end of the week, but as long as you don't procrastinate, and stay on top of your work, you will succeed in her class. I plan to take more classes from her!
Accepts late assignments. All you have to do is put in effort and you will pass.
Professor Palencia is one of the best English teachers I have had! The major assignments are challenging, but she gives you the tools you need to succeed. She provides clear and thorough instructions, outlines, and even samples to follow. She is also very compassionate about her students' success by offering ways to help. I definitely recommend!
Professor Palencia is the best English teacher I have had! The major assignments are challenging, but she provides the tools you need to be successful. She gives clear and thorough instructions, outlines, and even sample writings to help you understand. She is very compassionate and caring. I definitely recommend Professor Palencia!!!
Clear and to the point as long as you do the work and participate you are sure to pass.
First of all it was sad that I wasnt able to meet the class in person but I loved how she would make class fun and always reminding us for help during tutoring hours. She would give example and alos little voice presentation if you have any problem with the assignment. Over all it was a pleasure having her.
The assignments given to us are clear, she is very accommodating but still shows respectful authority.
Assignments instructions are worded well and easy to understand. Very accommodating yet respectfully structured
Very good instructor. Challenging yet interesting and socially relevant writing assignments. Accessible and gives good feedback.
Ms. Palencia was one of the best professors Ive ever had. She is very understanding if you ever need extra time on assignments, and she provides as much help possible on assignments. She also gives a load of help on essays, which is extremely helpful. I passed with 100%! I loved taking her class.
She is very kind and always ready to help student. She always gives us good feedback after we submit our assignments. I would prefer everyone to take her because she is the best professor also person, 100% worth professor.
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
This was my first class after taking a year off and it made my perspective of college better. She gives a thorough instructions on assignments and responds fairly quick to messages. The work isnt tough either; just do your best and shell give proper feedback. Plus she is really lenient, but dont take advantage of that.
This class has taught me to have integrity, it has taught me to really put time and thought into my assignments. Professor Palencia was a good teacher and gave good feedback so Ill use this in the future.
It was my first class in a while and honestly can say it was a perfect fit. She gave great feedback for each and every assignment, and even provided digital copies of the textbook for clearer lectures. Grading was fair and was always explained.
I took this class as an accelerated course. So, about every week we had a paper due. We had time to turn in the paper and there were no surprises. The professor gave feedback on my work and it was very helpful.
professor Mireya made a subject that usually intimidates me into something that I was able to understand and take day by day. I never thought I could get an A in this class but thats to her I did it!!
Professor Palencia is an amazing professor! I enjoyed taking her class very much. You wont regret it!
Hands down one of the best English professors at Cerritos. I highly recommend her class for any students that is taking English. 103. She is truly a good professor, I wouldn't usually do the survey for the professors yet alone a rating! But professor Palencia has shown such compassion and understanding. I just want to thank you professor.
Professor Palencia is amazing!! I really enjoyed taking her class!! Really inspirational and gives great topics to write about! You wont regret taking her class!
She is soo sweet! She lets you turn in late work sometimes and doesnt give that much work. She also gives great feedback and is a great teacher overall.
I'm kind of nervous, I'll be taking her during the summer, I'm actually kind of scared because I'm not the best on essays, I can barely write a paragraph. The reviews seem nice, I'm glad I seen the views, because I honestly was having second thought but I hope to pass this class too.
I took her class in summer, she was very sweet, she let us make up work or resubmit it for a better grade, we had a few essays that were 1500+ words and the final was 2000+ words, the class was straight forward, I strongly recommend her class, good luck in your journey in school folks !!!
I took the professor class this semester she is sweet kind caring person and always help with assignments in class.
Professor Mireya Is a great teacher who seems to care about her students is willing to work with you as long as you're willing to work with her she will most likely accommodate and help you.
Professor Mireya is not only nice but very approachable. She offers help outside of class and you can always email her as well. Fast responsive. In this class we had 3 Essays to write, not hard. All essays were interesting to write and she offers help if you need any. If her class is available I would suggest you take her. You wont regret it !
I 100% recommend taking professor Palencia is probably one of the nicest and most helpful professors I have had so far, I took her 6-week course. At first, I thought it was going to be a lot of work since it was such a short class but we did 95% of the work in class. The only "homework" we really had was the essays we have to finish up at home.
Professor Palencia 's lectures are well organized, she explains every assignment in detail.
This professor is overall fun and amazing. She actually takes time to enjoy talking to the students and cares for them and always asks if anyone needs help. She does a great job at going through the modules so you shouldn't be behind, lost, or confused. Homework was sometimes a lot, however it was manageable. I would take this professor again.
Fairly straightforward class. Work is not that heavy. Good lectures.
I would recommend taking professor Palencia because she cares about ur grade and tries to help out when u need it she also has hours outside of class where she can help if you require a bit more help which I find very convenient.
Best English professors at Cerritos. I really enjoyed taking her class she lets you make up work or resubmit it for a better grade. she also offers help outside of class and you can always email her as well. you only have to do 3 essays the first two essays are 1500 words and the final essay is 2000 words. I would suggest you take her.
Professor Palencia is great and explains things very well. I enjoyed her class because she uses memorable analogies and teaches different techniques for writing that are useful. She will work with you if you have any complications because she only wants the best for you. I 100% recommend that you take her class.
She is an amazing teacher and she makes English fun there not to much writing either.
She is a very good teacher. Kind, you don't get bored in her classes, she is one of the best teachers I've ever had, she is very funny and I like her laugh I felt very good in her class. Since I don't speak English well, I didn't feel distant in her class because anything I didn't understand was explained to me in Spanish. I rate it 10/10
She is a very nice and caring professor. Her class mainly consisted of essays but she gives very helpful feedback.
This course was fairly easy; it was a 6-week session with a lot of work, but that's what I signed up for. If you want to finish English 100 while also having a wonderful professor, enroll in Palencia's class!
Professor Palencia is an amazing professor. She pushes you to do the best you can do on any assignment and is very supportive to you and your conditions. Even though I wasn't much of a fan of the essay prompts in her class, she allows you to choose your final essay's topic. All around amazing professor and really friendly to her students.
Professor Palencia was a fun professor to take, though beware, sometimes she goes on rants about her personal life, utilizing curse words occasionally. I didn't take offense, and her stories were always interesting, but it is something to note. Aside from her fun personality, she is extremely helpful with anything you may need in the class.
I took her 6 week course and it was fast paced.
She is a very caring and understanding teacher. And as well as very humerous and engaging with her class.
Take the class
There's little to no reading at all. Because the class is shorter, it is a bit fast-paced but honestly, there is no homework since we do everything done in class. Whatever you don't finish, you just take home.
Professor Palencia is honestly the best English instructor I've ever had!! She genuinely cares about your understanding of the subject and she helps you with the structure of her essays.
She is an amazing English teacher she loves to tell stories but in a creative way to keep you engaged. She really works with you all you have to do is try hard in do the work, showing up is important.
great professor if you want to take a class that has very little homework and is easy to follow on the lectures very helpfull and caring
shes great at helping you write outlines for your essay very helpful and give great lectures with very little homework
She is very caring and nice. There is no homework since all work is done in class which makes it even better. Trust me if you want a good teacher who actually cares then take her class.
great teacher
HANDS DOWN BEST PROFESSOR!!! She's very accessible during and outside of class! Homework is done in class, however if you don't finish it in class it becomes homework. She's funny too! TAKE HER CLASS!!
This teacher has a good personality. Her lectures are really good to the point that as long as you listen to her lectures for her assignments and do the work your bound to get a passing grade. Her assignments are solo and groups assignments which are good for many learning styles.
Great professor. Has funny stories. Is caring. She does care about you passing with a good grade and will help you with your assignments. Good professor.
She was really great. She was very kind , patience, helpful . Thank you for a fun semester. I appreciate how approachable you are .
good professor helped me out a lot and taught me how to write good essays and helped me to watch my grammer and helped me to stop using words like ''I'' and helped me too write better essays
Shes a good teacher she taught me how to write good essays and taught me new things about english that I didnt know about like ethos, Pathos , and Logos. I highly recommend her
Professor Palencia makes English 103 easy. I am a math person and struggle with writing papers. She makes herself available to her students. Works with you so you will not fail. I love coming to her class. I would recommend her to all incoming students to take her class.
Professor Palencia is by far the best professor I've ever had! She is very organized with her lectures and modules and she gives great feedback on the essays. The essays are about 1200 words but she always gives interesting topics. Palencia is kind and truly cares about her students. Since day 1, she's given off a great vibe. 10/10 recommend :)
Professor Palencia is AMAZING! She is extremely passionate about her job and genuinely cares about her students. She is very helpful and kind. I took her 9 week course and got so much out of it. I definitely recommend taking her class!
Good professor would recommend taking
She is a very nice teacher who cares about if we pass or fail. Be prepared to be adequately challenged and be careful not wait too long to complete your assignments because there is no makeup for anything late but she allows you to submit early and get feedback. Success in this class is in your hands. Highly recommend!
Amazing professor. HIGHLYYY recommend!!
The professor loves what she is teaching and she engages the class very well. She is very understanding of people's different learning styles and If you are someone who is really bad at English like me she makes it pretty easy to understand a lot of the material and offers a lot of help for essays. A lot of homework but get through it in class.
Prof. Palencia was very personable, and she didn't expect something from you that she wouldn't do herself. She is very lenient as well, and has a lot of patience.
She is awesome and really takes the time to make sure the students understand the material. It's reasonable homework and an easy class altogether.
Professor Palencia is an amazing professor who really cares about her students. She is very patient and understanding, and offers a lot of help on the essays. There is a reasonable amount of homework and participation does matter but it is an easy pass. She is the best English professor I have had a Cerritos college.
Professor Palencia gave great feedback to those who asked for it, her lectures and class were easy to understand. Her work was straight forward and helped prepared for essays. I would recommend taking her class if you were questioning it.
She made a lasting impression on me the first day. I had no idea what to expect from my professor, yet she was great and funny. As a first-year student, having her for a hybrid class makes me want to take another hybrid class with her. I wholeheartedly recommend this professor. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
Very funny over all but she gets things done.
English is my weakest subject. The way she talked to the class was never a dull moment. She often talks about her life which gives us, the students, a sense of who she is outside of class, she isn't this robot who only knows to teach, but a colorful drawing comes to life. Mireya Palencia is one of my favorite staff here in Cerritos.
Very chill professor 100% would recommend to 1 year students to get a little more comfortable.
Definitely recommend taking Palnecia's class. She's a lovely professor and guides all her students through her lectures. Your grade will reflect the effort you put into the class.
She is a great professor and very funny and her lectures and classes are easy to understand. Highly recommended to take her class. She made an impression on me the first day we met had no idea what to expect having her in a hybrid class you won't be disappointed!
Professor Palencia is a delightful instructor who makes her lectures engaging. With unstuck ai and the easy-to-follow textbook, I was well-prepared for the course. Definitely recommend this class!
Very cool professor, she has a very cool personality, she is not a very hard teacher and she is very understanding.
This teacher helps you understand everything that she teaches . She takes her time to show you what she is teaching and ask you many times if anyone has questions so she can help you out . She is very caring and knows what she is talking about .
I've always had trouble with English, yet she made it so much easier for me. The assignments were not hard at all, they were usually quick assignments or discussions due in class. She explains her assignments pretty well and and will guide you through it.
Amazing professor, she knows how to engage with students and can build a connect with each. Is very hilarious and would recommend anyone that has a chance to have her as a professor to do so.
A very chill and caring teacher who will hold your hand through the whole semester. She will understand as long as you communicate with her about absences, situations, and assignments. All in all a very calm caring teacher who makes your semester very easy and simple. I would heavily recommend her.
This class is really laid back and relaxed, late work is accepted with no real penalty. All of the assignments are very easy and straight forward. She goes on rants about her personal life but it's always entertaining and gets you more comfortable with the class.
Shes a great teacher
Palencia's class is pretty easy. Her assignments are direct and not too time-consuming considering I'm a slow writer. She talks a lot about her personal life and might sometimes go off topic but overall is an enjoyable class. She's the best professor I've had this semester and I decided to take Eng103 with her next semester.
Taking this class as a first time college student was amazing and very easy. Assignments were clear and straight to the point and she's always there when needed to ask questions, etc. Would definitely take this class again.
Professor Palencia was very helpful and chill. If you need help on assignments she stays after class and has office hours. Lenient on due dates depending on assignments and is very accommodating as long as you communicate. Honestly, easy classwork as she goes over every assignment with the class. I plan to take her again for next semester's ENGL.
She was an amazing professor, very kind, easy to talk to and everything you needed to know was on canva. Just stay on top of your work and you'll be fine!
Professor Palencia is very chill and helpful she has office hours and stays after class for assistance. She is lenient on due dates and can be accommodating as long as you communicate. Overall very easy as she goes over each assignment in class very clear and direct. I plan to take her again for my next semester English.
Professor Palencia cares for students. She shares supportive information for students. She doesn't reply to emails well, but you can ask questions after the class. She stays to answer student's questions. There are some writings: small discussions, journals, reflections, and assignments. It's doable and not too hard.

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.
I took Professor Palcencia this spring semester, she has improved my writing skills this year. I truly did enjoy her class, it was easy. 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.
Very great Professor, prioritizes the right things and explains very well and speaks upon the topic straight forward.

One of my favorite professors
I took Professor Palencia 6- weeks Course For EOPS Summer bridge and loved it! 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. It's a fun class she brings donuts and honestly she feels like a friend where you can talk to her about anything.

The professor was very easy to learn from, flexible with assignments, and genuinely helpful.
Many small assignments that lead to the next assignments and project. 4 projects. Accepts late work till the end of the semester. Few small reading assignments and makes lectures fun and easy to understand. She is very understanding, funny, interactive, and talkative.
Professor Palencia is a wonderful teacher who so obviously has a passion for teaching. She is so understanding and makes it extremely achievable to get that A in the class. Her class is genuinely something I look forward to throughout my day, and as a new student and just a student in general, I 100% recommend her class.
She is very laid back and doesn't assign many assignments but when she does they are very easy to do.

She is good at interpreting the lessons and is very clear. She is very helpful.
She is one of the most genuine professors I've met, she is understanding, clear and straight forward with her lectures the class in general is straight-forward. Her quizzes and test are doable.

She's not a hard grader she clearly outlines grading criteria and provides great feedback. She's inspiring doesn't assign too much homework. She's accessible and a great person to be around in class
not a hard grader, gives grace when needed. is very kind to everyone and always available to help. is on top of her grading and corrects any mistakes she makes. would recommend to everyone who needs a good and funny yet professional English teacher.
Professor Palencia is very helpful when writing essays. She makes sure everyone understands the assignments. She doesn't make the work hard and doesn't give out a lot of assignments.
Got an A she is very caring and does her best to try to help you understand the assignment.
This class was very easy and the professor was very sweet and caring she helped a lot and work was very manageable definitely would take this class again
Would definitely take Professor Palencia again if given the chance. She's so funny and I really enjoyed being in her class. Assignments were super easy, as long as you show up you'll pass.
She is an amazing professor her class is not hard to pass if you try and show up there are quite a few essays but she will talk you through them. she is good at explaining and overall a great professor and I would 100% recommend this class.
This was a easy and chill class without too much work to stress you out. With what ever assignments you get are also easy to do. The professor is also very easy going and made English a less boring subject to sit and learn about.
She's very chill professor and funny. She will help you if you don't understand something.
She has by far been my favorite professor. Lectures that are given help you understand the material better and will help you understand the assignment that will be given. She is also super funny, understanding, and kind. I would take her class if I had the chance to again!
I love her! she's really nice and cares about her students, always explains stuff in a fun manner so us students understand. She makes learning fun!
Shes good about attendance as long as you shoot her an email or let her know whats going on but it is mandatory and shes pretty nice and understanding in general. She answers questions about homework, and reminds you about due dates in class which is nice only “complaint” i have is that its hard to work in class if you cant tune out talking.
Super sweet, think of your cool aunt teaching a class. Can talk to her about anything. Very cool about late assignments. We played a game in class as a lesson instead of a long lecture. Super understanding about being late and attendance.
She's very understanding, as long as you stay on top of your work (which is not a large sum like packets) you'll do fine, she can also be very flexible with the due dates.
Professor Palencia is an outstanding teacher. She explains concepts clearly and makes sure every student understands the material before moving on. Her classes are well-organized, engaging, and supportive, which makes learning much easier and more enjoyable. . I learned a lot in her class and would highly recommend to everyone.
Professor Palencia is such a great instructor. I would totally recommend taking your English class with her. All assignments and lectures are understandable. She tries her best to give the most resources available to be able to obtain the highest grades. She is really open and can talk to her about anything which I love. TAKE HER CLASS.
