Dr. Tinajero is a very nice professor. Works with you and as long as you show up and do the assignments you will pass. Enjoys class participation. Has a lot of blog essays, but don't be discouraged by that. If I can do it and I hate writing, you can do it too. Would definitely take this teacher again. Very easy going guy!
