I have not seen this kind of professor for a long time. He really reads our papers and gets back to us on daily basis. No question bothers him. I am glad I took ENC1102 with him.
love this guy one of the best ive had. answers all questions and lots of debates! good class, keeps u wanting more
He's a really great teacher! Lets you pretty much write about anything you want sometimes. Is very open to others opinions and literally reads every paper and doesn't really "grade" you, he just helps you out. I took him for ENC 1101 and I don't regret it at all! He's great! I recommend him! EASY A!
He is such a great teacher!!! fun and creative!! he actually reads your papers and comments on them and gets to know you. I love him and I'm going to take him again for 1102!! he is the best!!!
Awesome teacher. Best writing teacher I've ever had. He pretty much let us loose on what we wrote about and would notice our efforts in our work. He would leave helpful comments on all papers, and is a highly accessible teacher. He's constantly answering his emails, so any questions you have he's always there to help.
hes really intersting. when yu first meet him your like woah hes trippy. i still think hes trippy. hes keeps class interseting and hes very laid back but hes also also serious when it come to work. his assigments are somewhat confusing but if try it shows that your intersented. he wants you think out of the box. i recommend him!
I love Mr. De La Flor!! If we could only have more professors who taught from the heart and not from the book...
This guy is AMAZING i took him for both 1101 and 1102. I am going to miss him so much next semester, he cares he is so nice, funny, and his class is interesting it makes you think. I recommend this class FOR SURE I would take any class with him.
I was suprise to see that there is only 8 comments! This is the best, best and BEST professor in the WORLD! dare to prove me wrong!! He has such a different mindset then those other professors in college, he makes you WANT to go to class without trying! I LOVE IT! everyone did! Acouple of paper, but trust me, you will WANT to write them! TAKE HIM!
Awesome teacher, very crear and the classes are really interesting, go to his class.
great professor! little hard but very very interesting! no textbook required book u will read like 6 novels. yes u will write ur a** off but u will leave his class with a quality education. oh be ready to debate. his style of teaching is different from any other prof. u wont even feel as if u are in a "classroom setting". very layback man. love it!
PROF NEIL IS THE MAN. HIS CLASSES ARE EXTREMELY FUN AND HIS WORK IS VERY INTERESTING.HIS CLASS IS A MUST TAKE!!!
First you might think he is from another planet but then you really want to join his planet. I was always looking forward to his class. I wished it lasted longer. It was interactive and fun. He stimulated our minds. You have to do some papers but as long as you put in the effort he will give you an A at the end no matter how bad you are at english.
I hate school.. but on fridays i cant wait to get to class. I promise. Mr. De La Flor is the most amazing teacher i have ever encountered. He isnt stuffy and boring like the other professors usually are. Hes completely unique in his lessons, assignments, and discussions.. Hes awesome and youll love his class. Take it!
I love professor neil! He was an awsome teacher who taught me how to think outside and beyond the box ;) His assignments aren't hard they just seem a little weired lol but don't worry yull be fine. He is one of the best teachers I've had since I got to MDC.
this is one of the coolest proffessor ever... this guy rocks... the best professor at MDC there is no doubt... the best of the best... love u NEIL.....
Neil is AWESOME, take him, he'll make you think outside the box and use your creativity A LOT. just take him, believe me you'll never regret taking this class.
the best teacher ever
You learn to write freely. No contracts, no strings attached, no schemes to follow...He drives you to discover the inner writer in you, while you have fun and learn. I recommend this course with him even if you are not a native speaker. He gets your point and understands your background as well. He rocks!
HE IS AWSOME!! SUPER FUNNY, HE GIVES INTERSTING TOPICS !! I'LL TAKE HIM FOR ENC1102!!
The BEST of the BEST.....
MAKES THE CLASS FUN AND HE'S VERY HELPFUL : ) LOVED HIS CLASS.
best professor i've ever had. i hate english and i took him in the summer and got an A. highly recommended.
I recommend to take his class he is awesome, he helps you out a lot,you will have fun in his class while you learn. he is the best Professor...take him you will not regret it
I took ENC 1101 with him and will never regret it. He does things in a way that actually make you thinnk outside the box and see things in a different light. Great professor, great class!
OUTSTANDING is putting it mildly.He's truly a GREAT TEACHER.Never thought I could write,yet with him I couldn't stop.Classes are really different.There are debates & constant discussions,yet he makes it all FUN.Believe it.Don't miss the chance to have him as your teacher.You won't regret it.You get back all you put into it. Truly AMAZING :) WOW!!!!

Amazing he is the best ever. He allows you to develop the writter you never thought you could be! LOVE LOVE LOVE this professor!!!!!!!!!!
HE'S A GREAT TEACHER. VERY HELPFUL AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT HE ENCOURAGES TO KEEP ON WORKING HARD. I LOVE HIS TEACHING STYLE! TAKE HIM, YOU WON'T REGRET.
i loved this teacher in his jeans with raggedy holes. fun, interesting, smart and very creative. he was an inspiration to the entire class, i def recommend this outstanding professor. LAID BACK AND NICE!already miss him!--- your older nova student
Good teacher, funny, laid back, and A lot of help if writing isn't your sort of thing. However, sometimes he dumbs his lessons down too much to fit in with the class and its a bit annoying when you really want to learn. Other than that great professor.
Great professor! He makes you think outside the box. He is great and chill. Take him!
what are you waiting for ?! take him !
He's a funny and laid back guy yes, but his assignments are problematic. He assigns too many political topics, his classes felt more like debate class instead of a writing class. He needs to have a balance of creative writing and research papers. Other than that he was a decent teacher. If you go up to him and ask him for help he will do so.
He is amazing! only a few essays a semester. If you have any problems with your essays he helps you at 100%. Hes a really cool teacher, you should take him!!!!
Awesome teacher, make you learn, real flexible, if you do all your work your garanteed an easy A.
great teacher! best english teacher ive had!!1 take him!
wonderful ,funny,interesting
this teacher is great, he help you out, his class in not boring at all. you won't regret
This professor is very outside the box and fresh. He keepls class extrememly exciting.
OMG THIS PROFESSOR IS THE BEST EVER ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ALL YOUR ASSIGNMENTS AND YOUR GOING TO PASS HE IS AWESOME AND WILL CHALLENGE YOU TO LEARN AMAZING I'M IN THE NURSING PROGRAM NOW AND I THANK GOD FOR HIM BECAUSE HE MAKES YOU THINK LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PROFESSOR
This teacher is awesome, super fun class super fun teacher you will love this class he makes it easy to learn how to write an essay because he brings out the excitement in writing. you will love him i took him for both enc 1101 and 1102 my fav teacher :)
Great professor! You will learn in his class. Makes the class fun and interesting. If you need help don't hesitate to ask. I wish he would teach ENC2300.
The class is FUN! AT TIMES! the class isnt hard you just got to dedicate time to it and show him that your working hard for him to notice your changes. I pass with a B because I tried in all my 3 project essays and the LAST ONE IS WORTH ALOT SO DO IT because thats where he notices if you deserve the grade you want! he grades very Fair!
Great professor ever! such a great class... I enjoyed every minute of it. He Rocks! hard class, but fun! I recommend it 100%!
Professor Neil is amazing and very unique. He makes class extremely interesting and funny. He helps students as much as they need it. I strongly recommend him. Take him!!
BEST PROFESSOR!!! VERY CLEAR ON WHAT HE WANTS DONE AND HOW HE WANTS IT DONE. BUY THE TWO BOOKS THAT HE ASKS YOU TO BUY AND READ THEM. THEY WERE INTERESTING. EXTREMELY HELPFUL AND WILL UNDERSTAND AND HELP YOU THROUGH ANY PROBLEM YOU MAY HAVE. BEST TEACHER EVER!!!
best professor ever! If you want to learn how to write and have a good time then take him. I highly recommed this professor> excelent :)
One of the Profs you'll tell your kids about one day. He's awesome.
Best prof. I ever had at Miami Dade. Very caring, brilliant, and prepared. Just go to class and participate and you've already won half the battle... The other half of the battle is the essays which he will help you with or he will ask a peer to help you with. He's amazing. Can't say enough good things about this man.
Great professor!! take him you wont regret!!
great energy, funny guy.....but dont let that decieve you, hes very unclear on projects and is the meaning of grammer nazi
Great proffessor!! Just go to class, write the essays and participate and you will get an A!! Great teacher, loved him!!
He is a funny guy with a really weird actitud. If you already know how to write take him, if not don't. I will not recommend him at all....
His class is easy yes because you dont do much. The Professor seems super laid back but at the end end of the day grades very harshly, if you want an easy A don't take him. Its a class that does require effort, do ALL assignments if not you will probably won't pass.
Personality Wise: Great teacher, he's hilarious & looked forward to coming to class. Interesting, laid-back & fun class.. But you really need to try with the assignments (so don't take for an easy A, I worked really hard for mine!) He's very deep into literature & expects his students to have the same mindset as him. Really disliked essays!
I personaly recommend he is exellent person and his classes are amaizing and very ineresting but you have to attend classes and also do your homework.
one of the best teachers i have had, he's super nice the class was hilarious and he made it fun the whole semester!! just do all the work and you will pass, i got an A but i did everything he asked and worked really hard..
I absolutely loved him, I had him for enc1101 & enc1102. pretty easy class, very straight forward w/ papers and what he wants. just show up, do your work & you'll get an A plus he's funny & interesting you wont regret taking him!
Awesome professor. He is very strict with grading papers, but I think if he sees you get good grades on the first couple of essays he will accept some flaws in future essays. My last few essays were not as good but he still gave me A's for them. He accepts late submissions and his class is overall very interesting.
Great Professor very much fun in class. Just make sure you know your compositions and grammar. Very much liberal cool class.
He is not always clear on what he wants out of the assignments he assigns but don't be afraid to ask, he is beyond helpful. Great sense of humor and makes class interesting. He ties in the activities you do in class to the papers you have to write so attendance is preferred for your own benefit. Overall one of the best I've taken.
At first professor seems cool and easy. But when it comes to grading, he is bad. He didn't teach anything in the semester but yet he still was hard grading. He expects you to know how to write perfect essays and he doesn't help you at all. For any error you have in an essay, he lowers your grade. Made us buy a $80 book and we didn't use it.
Awesome professor!
Great Professor with great sense of humor, essays are ok to do, and fun class, definitely recommend him.
This professor is excellent,one of the best I've had. Essay topics are creative and enhance learning.Great sense of humor and overall a fun experience. Definitely recommend him.
Cool Professor, down to earth. He dose a great job in explaining the assignments and makes the classroom environment entertaining.
Really fun and easy class. Extremely helpful
Best professor
AMAZING! He is extremely funny and down to earth. If you want an easy english class that does not require many essays, this is the class for you! The essays he assigns are meaningful and creative. He only assigned about 3 essays the whole semester :) I liked this class so much I am choosing him for 1102... BEST TEACHER
He showed me another perspective of life. Really awesome professor and nice guy. Do all his essays, and he will tell you if you are good or need to improve. Every essay is delivered through turnitin (free). I would take him every semester if I could. We discuss a theme (not-so-polemic) in class, and write about it online. he doesnt correct grammar.
Prof. De La Flor is AWESOME! Class is literally like therapy 101, but English related. Attendance is not mandatory, but when he has discussions on how to go about the essay topic you should attend. He's definitely a fun and entertaining professor and I would definitely recommend him to anyone especially freshman's. Next semester ENC1102 with him :)
The best teacher ever! Would love to have him as my teacher for every class. Only class where time actually went by TOO fast because of how fun it was.
Best professor ever! A super star.
I'm So Glad I Had Professor Neil For Enc1101, If You Are A Incoming Freshman You Would Love His Class He Is Funny And Also Helpful When You Need Help On Your Essays . I Highly Recommend Him To Anyone.
He helps the students enjoy literature. He finds fun ways to do all the boring stuff, especially the research paper. He helped every student one by one on every section of the research paper and if you didn't really need help he would give great feedback on what you have written. As long as you do the assignments then it's an easy A.
Great and funny professor. Very helpful. Very easy to get get an A on his class. I recommend you to take this class.
This professor is pretty straight forward and one that cares. His class is pretty easy, there are essays, obviously because he teaches english, but they are usually based around current events happening in today's society or involve ourselves so they're fairly easy and engaging. And how awesome that his last name is "of the flower" ? cool as heck
He's laid back (not an "in your face" type of professor) ,nice, & was clear from the beginning on how class would be and what assignments we would be graded on that would effect our over all grade. The essay topics where relevant to today's life, and weren't random. If you're concerned about your grade, get involved with it and talk to him!
Very good professor, if English is not your first language take him! 8 weeks miniterm, only 3 essays , few easy hw and he does not grade grammar.
Mr. De La FLor is a great guy and a great teacher. He is super dedicated and knows what hes doing. The whole world can be crumbling and he will still show up on time and do what needs to be done! BRAVO
De La Flor's assignments are always creative. He has amazing taste, and cares about his students. His grading process is simple as well.
Great professor.
He's an amazing professor with a great sense of humor. He truly cares about his students, I have taken him for both ENC1101 & 1102, and he never fails to be my favorite professor during my time at MDC.
Highly recommend you take his class! He makes assignments and projects not feel like homework and inspires students to genuinely enjoy writing. He makes the topics super interesting. He is available to help you with any problem you may have in the class. As long as you do the work and show him you care, you will pass the class with no problem.
Super good professor,also is really funny and inspired you to write. great experience
Excellent Professor. Highly recommended to everyone.
Highly recommend Professor De La Flor, brings out the best in his students and is invested in their success. Would take another class with him for sure.
Take this class if you want to pass with a breeze, this class won't feel like a burden but more like an easy A. I definitely recommend him!
Amazing teacher! Nice + understanding + great sense of humor. Sarcastic and approachable. 3 papers that are really easy. Recommend for people learning English! Accepts late papers. 1 mini-essay about the book and 1 mini-essay about "what grade do you think you deserve". Answers emails. Not as hard as it may sound.
Prof. De La Flor made English fun and very interactive. Take him. You will not go wrong. Very pleasant and extremely fair. There is not reason for anyone to get anything less than a B. Do you assignments. You'll sometimes have to do a decent amount of reading for homework. Otherwise, it is all good. Excellent instructor!!
The best professor ever!
Best professor ever !!!! Classes are very interesting. I took him for ENC1101 and ENC1102.
Prof. De La Flor puts in effort to make sure the assignment is interesting and relevant to today's society. Super thoughtful and understanding. 100% recommend.
He is the absolute best! Take him if you have the option, you will not regret it! he was super understanding and took his time to respond emails and help you whenever you needed it! keeps lectures super interesting and up to date with the world so we're informed!!
ONE OF THE BEST COLLEGE ENGLISH PROFESSORS EVER. SO NICE AND VERY HELPFUL!!!
Get ready to read in class and at home. Despite the pandemic, he made the zoom classes very interactive meaning he will have every single student participate in class. He gives feedback on your work and is a fair grader. Responds to emails and will meet if needed after class. He truly loves his job and it reflects on the class
One of the best professors I took during MDC he want every student pass. Easy A. So nice human being my respects to him. My first language is not English and he was so understanding with all of that. TAKE HIM you wont regret. Love so much this class!
Amazing teacher! Assignments are due once a week, super fun and easy to do in my opinion. I enjoyed this class a lot! The teacher is super easygoing, always cracks a joke once in a while during class. Absolutely amazing, I would definitely re-take this course, I wish all my classes were like this one. As long as you do your work you'll pass :)
He gives a low grade for essays and doesn't give any feedback. Never responds to emails.
A teacher that I do not recommend at all. Four to five long class assignments each week. Evaluations are based on his criteria and not on good writing, even if your work has been reviewed by 2 tutors before! He was very unfair. No credit is given for attendance, even if you do not miss a single class. He is a person full of complexes.
WORST ENGLISH Professor ever!! I was getting an A, and just because I couldn't take the final exam he gave me an F, which to me isn't fair. Also let me tell you that his class is very demanding. I don't recommend it at all
Prof. De La Flor makes English engaging. The class is interactive, with helpful feedback. Though reading-heavy, using Unstuck ai and other resources made it manageable. An excellent professor overall.
Online class, the professor was not even there. He forgot to open assignments. Barely contact with the students. Not tough grader, easy assignments but a lot of homework during the week. His class was practically my ENC1101 class.
Weirdly structured 8 wk class. First 3 weeks had 24 assignments EACH week. But the 4 last weeks barely had any assignments. Assignments were easy but tedious. 2 essays worth 30%. Does not give feedback. A final worth 15%, it was an essay based on class readings. Says in syllabus he WILL NOT round up your grade even if you have a 89.90%.
