If you're up for a challenge, Palmeno will give you just this. He's extremely informative and gives extremely interesting lectures. All of the assignments he gives are extremely straightforward. He does give lots of papers and there is a lot of reading, but you just have to be on top of things. I have never had a more challenging English class.

Do not take his class. Also, check the dates of these reviews as they are not accurate of the course catalog at Hartnell College. The person lectures and does not take into account of actual discourse or view points to expand ideas.

The class has no standards. The teacher cannot be taken seriously. He is a try-hard and ends up not making any progress with any students. Do not take his class, unless you think you can handle awkward encounters with him. I don't know why Hartnell keeps this guy. It is a joke.

The class work itself was not at all difficult. The only difficulties came at the hands of the professor. He is very disorganized! He is very picky and has strict rules for AI usage. If his software detected any AI (even for mandatory quotes), you would be expected to rewrite the essay. I had a summer class, so there were no live lectures.

The class has a relaxed vibe, but don't slack off. Attend lectures, do the essays, and use unstuckstudy ai to prep - it's a game-changer. Though an easy A, the prof expects respect.

Class was online and half way through he decided to stop giving grades or any feedback (i reached out multiple). He then finally did, after the disability department told him to, the day before the drop date. (I'm disabled). He said unless my writing improved, drop the class of fail. How was i supposed to improve, when there's no feedback

Review wise it seems he is decent in person but online he takes forever to grade, overly strict on the naming of the file, inconsistent, and the work just seems repurposed from COVID. Honestly he seems nothing like the other reviews, if you take this class from him take it in person. Otherwise never take this class.

He's very strict on naming files if the files is not properly named he will not grade your work even though it is finished but he will give you the option to resubmit.when reaching out to him he will take 2 to 3 business days to respond.But he does office hours in which you can attend for extra support.

He takes forever to grade assignments, but replies in 2-3 business days. . Don't take his online class; he's strict with any AI usage, even Grammarly, and he will give you a 0 if your assignment is labeled and spaced incorrectly.

It seems like the spacing / naming the files is more important than the work of the students. It should not be this difficult to get a grade because of the specific name files he wants. Ridiculous. Would never recommend this professor to anyone.

Palmeno is very flexible with student hours if you need any extra help. His grading is pretty straight forward and organized. He visibly cares for the success of his students and allows late work if you need it. Would definitely retake this class he's the sweetest! Pot luck for the last day!

Very strict on grading and the way he expects assignments to be structured (mainly naming convention) don't recommend taking his class online, but in person he's nice.
