he's a nice teacher!! he has taught me how to use and make a paragraph correctly!! great teacher!!
Prof.Mancia is easy if you do your essays on time when he asks you to do it. He will explain you what your mistakes are. Mr. Mancia understands the "minorities" because he is a minority himself and english wasn't his first language. So he worked his way up
Awesome teacher and would love to have him around for more of my classes but, he is always too busy with his Puente Project Program. Excellent teacher for minority students. Should become Trade Tech next school President.
I took his class and I pretty much agree with the other 2 comments. It wasnt easy though, he isnt afraid to fail you if you deserve it. He was always nice and extremely helpful. And he remembers everyone's names. I reccommend him to anyone that has to take English.
Whether English is your major or not, you will benefit tremendously from Mr. Mancia's class. This professor has an energetic aura which ignites a spirit of edification towards English in every aspect. Mr. Mancia has a unique way of stimulating his students with a strong desire to excel and perform beyond individual expectations. Very dedicated!
ABSOLUTELY THE MOST AMAZING PROFESSOR I EVER HAD....MR. MANCIA IS AWESOME...HE HAS THE ABILITY TO TAP INTO THE STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF HIS STUDENTS WHILE CHALLENGING ALL TO REACH BEYOND UNLIMITED HEIGHTS....NO DOUBT THE BEST ENGLISH PROFESSOR AT TRADE TECH.
He is hot. Alot of helpful work and alot of reading, but you will learn alot.
Possibly the best teacher that ever taught on campus. Mr Mancia will not only make you grow as a student,but as a person. I wish all teachers were as great as he is.
MAKES YOU REFLECT ON LIFE. INSPIRES AND MOTIVATES YOU TO BETTER YOUR LIFE. P.S. SUPER DUPER HOT!!!
Mr. Mancia is the one of the best English teachers i have taken. he is very clear and puts students first always has interesting class disscussions
MANCIA WILL INSPIRE YOU TO MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE AND THAT "THE UNIVERSE WILL CONSPIRE TO YOUR DESTINY". LUV YA! YOU ARE MY HEROE.
He is HOTTTT!!! He is the best professor at LATTC. He is like a mentor and a hero. He will teach you how to better your self.

The most amazing english teacher I have ever had, and as a bonus hes hott!!! Aside from good lucks, he provides intellectual challenge and an interesting point of view. I love him to death.
Great teacher. Gives a lot of essays to write but it is all worth it. If you do not instigate you can do it. Always there and understands when you have problems. You'll learn a lot from him. I can write a college essay in my sleep now.
Reading is a must, doing homework is a must, and taking test is a must. He tells you what you should write, and you just have to come up with the paper. If you're ganna take him, it's better to be in Puente
His class is quantity over quality.
very nice and down to earth person, good role model and passionate about teaching.
He is a very good teacher. He will prepare u for english 103. If ur lazy at writing this is not the class. He leaves various assigment and this class REQUIRES to put energy. Mancia is not hard he just teaches at a college level, he tries to prepare u for what is coming next.
Wonderfull...
Great teacher! If u really want to learn this is the teacher! He is not hard just want students to succed! HE is THE BEST EVER!!! Take him u will like him!
Tough professor, but will learn for a fact. If English has not been a great subject for anyone at all and you need help, Mancia is the go-to-guy. Lots of critical thinking involved, especially with reading
Very good professor. A little bit hard in grading, but very helpful.
english 21 all ways said i need more work on my paper graded it low instead of helping me
It was an absolute pleasure being in his class. I took eng 21, 101, and 220 with him. THe class discussions were awesome, the topics were fun and he is very organized and clear on what the assignments are. He is very challenging and one of the few instructors at trade tech that actually teaches like a college instructor should
Love Him!! He's a great teacher. I you do not like him then there must be something wrong with you. He makes the class very engaging.
Prof. Mancia is a really intelligent person and is very dedicated to his work. He will break down all the information you need until you clearly understand it. Don;t be absent or you will miss out. Easy class, even though he can seem intimidating he is really cool.
The best English teacher i ever had
the greatest most handsome teacher i have ever known.he is smart
Mr. Mancia is a very nice and dedicated professor. I took English 101 with him this pass Spring and when you need help with your papers...he is there. He would take his Friday's to come to school to help you if you needed it. He likes students that are dedicated and want to learn.
I'm not too fond of an english professor with a thick accent and not-so-great grammar. Plus he tends to gossip about other students and staff which makes it hard to get personal with him, which is required in ALL the papers.
I took Mancia for English 28 and 101 and it was awesome! Hes very helpful, understanding, and fun! He always pushes you to do your best. He is challenging but he gives you opportunities! I HIGHLY recommend him!
Very helpful and motivating.
best teacher ever
he is the best teacher i have for english (he is the only teacher i have for english so far) he is really helpful and nice, he push his students to do best, he makes his student read but, its ok. :)
he is such awesome!!!
He is awesome
The work may seem hard but he breaks the work down, plus challenges you,and works along with you to bring out the best in you.Im not a english class lover but if you want to learn something Mr. Mancia is a great teacher of choice.
Professor Mancia is inspirational! I entered college afraid but willing after being out of school 10 years.He provided the necessary tools I needed to finish out my journey through college.
he is very hard,be prepare for him he thinks he is the best teacher ever he made me waste a whole summer in his class and at the end he gave me a incomplete.
Mancia is a great teacher! He will work you and push you, but it's well worth it! My writing skills have improved, my reading skills are at my highest now! im still taking his 101 class and its a wonderful class!
He is a great teacher
Mancia is a great teacher! He cares about his students and is extremly helpful. He wants to get the best out of you. His classes are a lot of work but they are fun, you learn something about life and in the end it's worth it! TAKE HIM!
He is the best english teacher at Trade Tech. He truly cares about his students and is willing to work with you to reach your acdemic goals. I took him for winter, and it wasnt probably the best idea. We read 3 books and did 3 in class essay plus 3 take home essays and a final research paper of 10 pages long. He is challenging but I guarantee you'l
He is the best english teacher at Trade Tech. He truly cares about his students and is willing to work with you to reach your acdemic goals. I took him for winter, and it wasnt probably the best idea. We read 3 books and did 3 in class essay plus 3 take home essays and a final research paper of 10 pgs long. He's quite a challenge but you'll learn!
Truly the Best teacher at Trade Tech. His class is boot camp, but you come out of his class a champ. He Loves his job and it shows. Very helpful and he cares about his students. Not an easy class but if you get through it, you can make it anywere.
Mr. Mancia is one of the best professor's out there! I highly recommend this class, he will challenge you academically as well as make you realize your full potential. Clearly, this professor loves his job but mostly his students and you can see it through his works and the way he teaches.
Mancia is by far the best english teacher I've had. He is hard and gives a lot of work but what he teaches on critical thinking will change the way you read. In the end you write a 10 page research paper but overall, i enjoyed the class although one or two books we read were uselss. Other than that, great teacher, take him if you want the challenge
I love Professor Mancia. hes chill, and he tries his best to help. Im taking him right now and his class is realllly easssy. i love it.
His class was boot camp, very hard, and I had to study and work very hard, but it was worth it. He is very helpful and is always available if you have questions or need help. The best teacher I've had.
The six week English course revived my desire to write essays. I look forward to taking English 028 with Mr. Mancia because he encourages and challenges students to develop their writing skills at the same time. He is also humorous, but requires that we students get the job done. There are no excuses for you not to succeed, just do your best.
he is a hard teacher but he is a great teacher
He's wonderful and helpful. Always there to help his students to achieve their goals. He has passion to teach and really change the student's life. Easy? Nope but he gives you the tools to succeed.
Best English teacher i ever had, he is a really good teacher, a lot of work and he is a good guy, you will enjiy this class if you are good at english
Honestly, Proff. Mancia has been an angel of a teacher. His words are inspiring and helpful. He projects the best in class and does assign us with plenty of work. His goal is to keep us occupied in a very intellectual way. THANK U PROFF.MANCIA. BEST ENGLISH TEACHER SO FAR.
If you want to love your English class this is the professor to have although strict on deadlines he is flexible if he sees you are trying your best. Expects a lot from you as a student so be prepared to be pushed to your limit (this is a good thing)
Great professor a lot of work, but you will learn a lot from him. When he speaks he is inspiring. He truly cares about his students as individuals. Available to speak to and helpful. He makes the class interesting and pushes you to your limits. Definitely recommend him if you're willing to learn and work hard for his class. Best English teacher!
one of the best english teachers that I have had. It is a lot of work but there is plenty of learning involved. He truly cares about the students as individuals. I would strongly recomend Mr. Mancia for anyone.
Best English professor at the college, extremely helpful and provides tons of information in order to help complete assignments. Hands out multiple assignments but if one listens and focuses in class then it should be no problem. Overall the class is an easy A if you focus and turn things in on time.
Mr. Mancia is the best English professor at LATTC. Not only does he teach you English, but he is inspiring to his students. It's obvious that he loves his job and truly cares and enjoys teaching. At many times being a college student can be very frustrating, but being a part of his class and lectures are motivating. A lot of work and must keep up.
By far one of the best professors I've had since I begun college. You can tell he loves what he does and that makes going to class easy.
Helpful, funny and hot!
Too many unnecessary Essays and a bad choices of books.
A lot of writing and reading books but its to get you to think critically and writing. Class discussions are fun and interesting. Class will never be boring.
I wouldn't recommend Taking this class if you don't Have a lot of time to write A Thousand Words and more essays and responses to reading assignments.He Gives Loads Of Writing Assignments,And he Is Very Slow At Giving You Feed back and grades on a lot of your work ...
I learned to read and write often in English 100 class. At first I thought it was complicated, but after I challenge myself to do Professor's Mancia's work I was proud to enjoy his class.
AWESOME!
These are the sort of professors you want to have over and over. Words can't express how great Mancia truly is! I learned more in 6 weeks than I have in years. It is a lot of work, but it's doable if you put the effort in and don't procrastinate. Loved the books and discussions! Wish more people were like him!
He's just awesome! Took World Lit and he tries to expand your thinking capacity. He's just unbelievable, he loves what he does, and he's pretty easy. He's essays are a challenge but you're in a 200 class, it has to be challenging.
HE WAS SUCH A GREAT TEACHER..I LEARNED SO MUCH FROM THIS CLASS. I NEVER EXPECTED THE GRADE HE GAVE ME...
There are so many positive things I can say about this professor, but to sum it up, I will use the word "AMAZING"
He is such a good professor :) The only thing was that he made me test out and I actually got into English 28. But overall, he is good. I did his assignments which were good and easy(Eng 21). Instructions were clear but the book was pricey. Re-selling. New. Wonderful man!He wont bore you.
Awesome teacher. Very dedicated and eye opener of what is going around our community/society. A couple of essays more than use to but with dedication you'll pass the class. Good teacher overall but he should give out more A's :) it's our GPA that get affected!!!
Awswome Professor. Do all your forms and read the books and you'll be fine.
Professor Mancia is amazing,inspiring and you could tell he loves what he does.
The most important thing about him, is he wants you to learn. The discussions in class are great, with both views. There is a lot of essays, but each essay prepares you for the next.
The syllabus is very clear. He also has office hours which you can go to receive feedback on essays or research papers. His lectures are very good and he is up to date with novels. He emphasizes education is very important. Great professor!
Mancia is a great professor. He follows the syllabus and gives great feed back on all assignments. He has great motivational class discussion and is always willing to help. He gives a lot of work but it is doable. I received an A in his class.
This is more of an online high school debate class instructor than a college English one. Goodluck receiving feedback in a reasonable time frame, if any at all. His lectures consist of barren personal life inclusions that don't pertain to the lesson. First class of any kind that I've walked away from not learning anything new. Don't do it.
Great professor. Took him for 2 semesters and received an A in both. He has a clear syllabus and he is available if you need feedback in your essays. Prepares you for the next class you need. Exceptional work and one of the best teachers in the English department. He also makes you think critically with class discussions and books assigned.
Mancia was a super nice professor. We had a major paper due and I had family problems and couldn't turn it in on time. Hes really understanding and he let me still turn it in, but not for full credit. I got a B+! He gives is good reads. I would take him again
He is am excellent teacher
Professor Mancia is the best English professor I have ever had. He makes the class so interesting and the class discussions are the best. He really makes you think.
He's a really good teacher, he will show you a better way of teaching. His assignments may be a little hard or challenging but he will guide you and if you need help he will help you.
Great professor he'll turn you from a square into a triangle.
Mancia overall has been the BEST teacher i've had at LATTC . Although he's tough on you its only because he cares. The work was not easy but if you payed attention & did everything you was supose to do you would be sure to pass the class.
An amazing teacher that will change you and help you grow, not only academically but in many diffrent ways. He is simply great!!!!!!
Mancia is such a great Instructor very respectful you need to stay on task if not you will fall behind. He gives feedback and motivates everyone I highly recommend him especially if you have struggled with English.
Mr. Mancia is the greatest Instructor at LATTC he is very clear and respectful with each and every Individual. I took his hybrid class you meet in person but its also an online class. He is very helpful when it comes to essays he gives inspirational feed back. I highly recommend him if you have ever struggled with writing. Also stay on task.
LATTC is very fortunate to have this amazing professor, Roberto Mancia. At first, I thought that he disliked me. He would always always pick on. It bothered me. Then I realized that the only reason why he would pick on me was because I was the quietest person in class. I enforce students to visit Mr. Mancia in his office hours. You won't regret it
Mr. Mancia is such an amazing professor I HIGHLY Recommend to take! He is very helpful and understandable. He is very clear about what you are suppose to write about in your essays. He even takes his time to help out.
He is very inspiring individual, really tries to connect with students as well.
He is a person who is passionate for what he does. He helps with anything you need in or out of class. If you truly want to learn, i recommend him. He is a professor who challenges student to get out of their comfortable zone.
One of the best teacher I will ever have at LATTC. He is very passionate and care. He will definiltey help you earned that A. I HIGH recommed him for English 101. Though he is very demanding, if you try you can still keep up with his workload.
Attending college for three years and never being able to sign up for English, finally this semester k decided to entoll on time and took Mancia because a friend of mine told me about him. I really loved his class, back in high school i used to read a lot, he encouraged me and all students to read and he said "Make your own path" thanks Mr Mancia!
His class was good and i enjoyed it but if you really want to get an A its possible but you have to have a good time management and put in the effort
Im currently taking professor Mancia and in the short amount of time i have attended his class i have a acquired a lot of knowledge pertaining to the english structure. His lectures are great and the way he teaches his class, he breaks it down to the T for his students to understand. By far he is a great teacher.
Prof. Mancia has been one of the best professors I have ever taken at Trade Tech. He is clear on what he expects of each student and his/her work. He will be there for you when you mess up or when you need help. He is one of the few teachers that sees students as people, not as paychecks. Best of all- he plants confidence in people's hearts.
Professor Mancia really cares about his students. He made me enjoy writing papers, and if you get stuck he really tries his best to help you understand. I recommend taking him for as many English classes as possible!
I took him for spring and let me tell you he's a great teacher! He is a fast paced teacher so get on board. Lots of essays and reading but he's down to earth. Great teacher. He makes you work for your grade. Would take again !
Gosh! Mancia is a great teacher! He helps you on every way there is. He takes his time to explain and make sure everything g is clear for you. A big plus he's nice to look at, handsome guy! Overall his help and dedication to every student made class interesti g and fun to be in.
I would definitely recommend any student taking English 100 or 101 to choose Mancia as their instructor. He is extremely paitient and is a fair grader. Be aware that his lectures sometimes go off topic, and you sometimes wanna say "IDC". However he gives great energy and is always willing to help you with assignments.
Very understanding and very helpful professor. He's determined to do all that he can to help everyone pass his class. He gives great feedback and provides excellent resources to help you become a better writer
Mr. Mancia is a good, fair, understanding teacher. If you want to play, just stay at home because this teacher does not play. He is strict but fair. He explains to us what he wants and when does he want it regarding the work. He also makes us laugh because his class is not always work work. He is a challenge, but not possible. Luv Mr. Mancia!
Amazing Teacher !!!! Does absolutely anything he can to help students pass, and understands that we all have lives outside of school. Could not recommend this man enough!
The only teacher that made me be interested in reading, ive always hated reading but when I was in his class idk I interesting.. Great teacher
I took Mancia for English 28 and 101 and I learned a lot from this man. He is an Amazing English professor. He is very understandable and will do anything to help you pass his class. He is always there to answer any questions you may have. He challenges you. Encourages you to read and to enjoy reading. Get ready to write essays!!
Mr. Mancia is great!
Mancia is an amazing teacher. He is super nice and will help you if you ever need it. He's lessons are great and he makes learning fun. I would definitely recommend him. Just be dedicated to your work and you will be fine.
He's a great teacher do the readings do the work if you need feedback he is usually available and willing to help during office hours. His lessons are fun and interactive. I didn't do much reading but I enjoyed reading the books he picked for the class. Take his class you wont regret it!!
Professor Mancia is a great instructor he is very caring and is there to explain to you as best possible. I took him for online English 101 lots of essays but he is there if you need help.2 books red lots of homework great topics for the readings lots of group response but you will enjoy the concept. He is there all the time if you need extra help
You will not regret taking his class.
My experience during this class was excellent. Professor Mancia is the best teacher I have ever had. I recommend everyone to take his classes.
I did all the assignments put in the weekly modules but didn't go through the grade list since not only was there no due date on those assignments but it was specified in the syllabus that the module assignments were what we needed to do. I dropped from a B in the class to an F after they were graded.
Professor Mancia is honestly one of the best English teachers at LATTC. Hes genuine and wants to see that each of his students take away something from his class besides a good grade. Through his teaching I learned how to be a better writer, critical thinker and researcher. You will not be disappointed taking his class!
Mr. Mancia is a great professor. He motivates his students and is always willing to help. He leaves tons of homework so be ready to work! Would love to take him for English 103, but he doesnt teach it.
By far my favorite teacher from trade tech so far he is so understanding and is will to work with you. Mancia is super smart and he comes from the same area so he knows our struggles. 11/10
I love when a professor lays out the class clearly for you. It makes it all easier. I really liked this class and the format. You do need to be engaged and do the work, but it was worth it. I really liked the materiel he chose for us.
I took Mancia for English 101 as summer class and this is one of the best classes I have taken. I hated english growing up but the class is engaging and is super interesting. Mancia is super polite, caring, and understanding. He is a responsible teacher and even attended online class when he had someone close pass away. Total respect for this man.
Be prepared to write and analyze at a *college level*. This professor has the course settings so that when you view your grades you can also view the median grade of everyone else in the class for assignments. I did well, but the median grades for each assignment were LOW... which is fair. The quality of writing I saw from my fellows was poor.
Professor Mancia is wonderful, caring, and is very straight forward. He really cares about each of his students, he makes sure that he pushes you to think critically since it is college level English. Every week in his announcements he would always giving us inspirational words and it really helped! Such a wonderful professor!
I wish he was my professor for my computer programming class. Professor Mancia knows how to teach for sure and the books assigned are amazing read. he literally motivates you. however i was at a point of life where i was confused and unsure my career so I mightve come off lazy to him. An excellent professor.
Professor Mancia is really good at what he does. I took English 101 Several times with different professors and I failed every time. English is not my favorite subject at all. Mr. Mancia helped me to be a confident writer, and motivated me to continue writing and take his Eng 103 class. Don't sleep on him, he will help you.
One of the best English Professors and will be taking him again for my future English classes. He cares a lot about students and is very understanding if you have something going on in life. It is super hard to fail his class that you'd have to do absolutely nothing to fail
He inspired me to become a better writer. I took an online class but he had weekly zoom meetings for students who had questions about the assignments. Gives good feedback on assignments and shows he cares about students. Assigns a five and ten pg essay for 103 class. Lots of work but he makes the class go smoothly. I was sad when the class was over
Professor Mancia is awesome. He does assign a lot of work though so be ready. He can be a tough grader on essays but he will always give good feedback. His goal for his students is to be able to analyze text, not summarize it. He improved my writing which I really appreciate and I learned so much. He explains his assignments very thoroughly.
professor manica, is one of the most dedicated professors I have ever met. he really tries hard to let the class understand the topic. he is also very reasonable and will help you out with homework. joining the Puente program with him and professor Munoz was one of the best decisions I could have made.
I took this class asynchronously. Professor Mancia made sure we were able to meet at least once a week despite being asynchronous. Super late to grade our work, but let us know so we could talk 1-1 to know where we stand. 6 essays in total, 3 timed, one 5-page, another 10 pages (continuation of the second essay). Read a novel, it was a good read.
Do not be afraid to ask Professor Mancia questions. Even though his class attendance was not mandatory i would still recommend joining in on the zoom classes so you can ask him questions. You can contact him at any time and he is quick to respond. After not taking classes for 7 years this was definitely a good class to return to. Highly Recommended
Professor Mancia is one of the most dedicated and caring professors I've ever taken. He's always there to help and he's ready to see his students succeed. His course and lectures are incredibly enriching and thought-provoking. If I could go back and take his class again I would do so in a heartbeat.
I took Mancia's fully online summer course for 5 weeks. We had an optional zoom meting once a week and about 3-4 assignments a week. The assignments are simple and Mancia is a light grader. Aside from the assignments there are a few essays, and Mancia explains them thoroughly and clearly. Very respectful and a nice person too. Highly recommend.
If i had to take English 101 again, it would be with professor Mancia.
Mancia is very late grading and gives no clear explanation on a low grade. I believe Mancia gave me a poor grade on an essay because he didn't like that my opinion was opposite his. No advise given on how to improve and emails were ignored. My score and grade was given after the class was over. Not professional at all. Pick a different professor.
Roberto was a great teacher. Yes, he assigned a lot of work, but it was not hard. If you do all the work, you will easily pass his class. He genuinely cares about you and your grade. I would retake him if I needed to. HE ACCEPTS VERY LATE WORK. He is also extremely lenient towards assignments.
Professor Mancia is an excellent English teacher. He's understanding, engaging, and really cares about helping students improve their writing. Definitely take his class - it's manageable and he'll motivate you. Plus, unstuck AI is a great tool for studying and preparing.
Very tough grader, very late on grading assignments and for a class like English 103 this is a huge disservice to students who rely on feedback for academic progression. Its been all semester and he as yet to grade at least 90% of our assignments. prepare to read and write allot, does accept late work though. My suggestion, pick another professor.
He assigns tons of work and essays. Decent grader on small stuff but very harsh on essays. Loves statistics, so include them in your writing. The worst part is he didn't grade most assignments until after the semester, so you get no feedback. No extra credit either, even when your grade is unclear. Only take him if you have no better option.
