| Brian Lewis | If you want a professor that cares about your work, take prof. lewis! He genuinely reads your work and gives great feedback. He is super helpful and wants you to succeed. | 110 | |
| Brian Lewis | Professor Lewis runs a challenging but rewarding class. The sci-fi focus is engaging, and his feedback is invaluable. Stay organized, use unstuck AI for study prep, and you'll do well. Not an easy A, but worth the effort. | 1B | |
| Brian Lewis | He gives really good feedback as well as video feedback on essays! If you are serious about your writing skills take Lewis' class! He will make you a better student | 110 | |
| Brian Lewis | Prof Lewis' class is not going to be easy but he will give you great feedback on all your essays. He gives more feedback than I have ever received which I appreciate since he wants us to all go far with our skills. Overall I did well and I am sure you will be too! Will definitely take a professor Lewis course again | 1B | |
| Brian Lewis | ENGL 1A in fall 2022 and ENGL 1B in winter 2023. Both classes were really informative and expanded my writing skills. Interesting readings and good class structure. It could get a little disorganized but anyone familiar with Canvas should have no problem. Main complaint would be the professor. He was somewhat rude and not very present. Extra credit | 1A | |
| Brian Lewis | Prof Brian is an amazing & inspirational mentor. I learnt a lot in his class. His course for 1B was very engaging, informational and in sync with current times. Interesting SciFi reads, movies, plays - to write about. Participation is the key, then Prof Brian will go out of his way to help the student. Take him. He is a gem of a mentor for life! | ||
| Brian Lewis | Brian Lewis is overall a great teacher, but I will say get ready to write a lot. Those who leave negative reviews were just probably not ready to try in a college level English class. While some writings are hard, you will ultimately leave the class a much better writer and you won't regret the hard work you put into the class. | ||
| Brian Lewis | I took ENGL 1A and ENGL 1B Class was interesting. 5 papers, discussions, final, extra credit Professor was really rude, sarcastic, and degrading Leaves feedback but in emails or office hours he can get annoyed and disrespectful. Slow grader. When I asked about not seeing a grade for one of my early essays at the end he "pushed me to the back" | 1B | |
| Brian Lewis | The organization was so confusing. The class is entirely on science fiction and the questions are difficult to answer. It's easy to pass but honestly too much work for a GE english class. 5 essays 1 reflective final | 1A | |
| Brian Lewis | The lectures were exciting. His canvas page was a bit unorganized and difficult to find, but he did upload all the reading material, so you didn't have to buy it. Papers were heavy, and he was vague when answering questions. Somewhat of a generous grader, but this class was more of a headache than an enjoyment. | 1B | |
| Brian Lewis | Prof Lewis gives AMAZING feedback on your papers. He leaves a short video with your grade discussing what you did well and what you could improve on. Grading criteria is very clear. The essay prompts allowed for some freedom in what you could write about, which made the class more enjoyable for me. Would take again! | 1B | |
| Brian Lewis | Professor Lewis really cares about his students!! He took extra time to help me get through the class. Amazing lectures and videos. Tons of reading for this class (5 books), but to be fair, they were picture books with no words. Lots of writing but very little structure, so you can do it however you wanted! Best class ever! Def taking again! | E024 | |
| Brian Lewis | Lots of reading and journaling, so there's work, but it's worth it. "This is a reading class." Enjoyable class, work is a little bit time consuming but not difficult, and grading is very relaxed. "No stress final" and final essay were easy. Learned about the history of graphic novels, which was interesting. Overall great teacher and great class. | E024 | |
| Brian Lewis | Lewis has specific expectations regarding his essay format. If it does not follow his paragraph structure, then you are marked down. Discussion assignments - some placed into a specific discussion. Some essays are timed, but enough time is allowed. Portfolio is discussion of assignments. Worth a lot of credit helps your understanding of topics. | 1A | |
| Brian Lewis | Professor Brian Lewis was absolutely amazing. This was my first class back after a brief hiatus and I could not have been more lucky to receive a great professor. He is very understanding and patient. He really wants to see his students succeed. | ||
| Brian Lewis | 3 timed essays 3 week long essays each essay is 6-8 paragraphs ranging from 1,000-2,000 words required One 400-page book 1-3 reading journals per week Extra credit up to 5% Best prof. I've ever had | ||
| Brian Lewis | Lewis is a great professor! There is a total of 6 essays. All are sci fi, which is what I found to be difficult, personally. He gives great feedback and you can tell he cares. Stay on top of due dates, upload work to portfolio(he creates this) and make an outline for all essays. Be organized and you will succeed in his class. | 1B |
| Natalia Menendez | I loved taking ENGL 16. No extra credit, but she left great feedback and was ready to help with any questions/concerns I loved the readings so much Class is really organized and paced well Short stories, a novel, play, and poetry. Follow her rules on essays. Suggest reading the longer works (novel and play) before quarter starts if possible. | Eng 16 | |
| Natalia Menendez | This class had a lot of material to get through in a short amount of time. Prof. Menendez did a great job of pacing the class. Expect to read a lot. The class was interesting and encouraged critical thinking. Very helpful and direct feedback. I left the class loving poetry, which I previously hated. | Eng 16 | |
| Natalia Menendez | This class was super easy. The organization was very confusing in the beginning as she had the material for the current assignments in the previous week. However, once you figure that out it's fine. She did not grade too harshly and made it clear what she wanted to see in the essays. | 1A | |
| Natalia Menendez | Class was pretty easy. Some of the organization makes no sense, you have look in previous weeks for the current weeks resources, but you get used to looking everywhere. She breaks down essays a lot making the writing process very easy , but can be restrictive. 3 essays and a final reflection essay. Very willing to clarify or help on assignments. | ||
| Natalia Menendez | Tremendous and always helpful. They were always wanting students to learn and achieve their goals. I only had her for tutoring prep class, could see the impact the students I worked with had from her other classes. They helped me with my college applications and was a wonderful and caring teacher overall. She truly cares about her job and students. | ||
| Natalia Menendez | Professor Menendez was pretty good! Her English16 class was hard, no doubt, with assignments on the longer side but as long as you follow the prompt, you're likely to get 100% on the assignments. The essays are also long and complicated, but she is there to help you out. You read lots of poems and learn to write your own poem. Hard, but kind prof! | English 16 | |
| Natalia Menendez | English 16 was one of the best classes I've taken at Foothill. You read multiple types of literature - poetry, plays, novels), and discuss them: it was really fun. Read her modules, they are there to help you! Also, I felt the teacher was readily available outside of class for help. Only one major essay, the rest are discussions. Take this course! | English 16 | |
| Natalia Menendez | I do not recommend this professor unless you are taking English as your major. This professor is not flexible at all, and she is a really picky grade. Her assignments are so confusing that I have to seek for a tutor to explain what that assignment is about. She gives less time on her assignments and does not like late work. | ||
| Natalia Menendez | I took Professor Menendez's class in Fall 2021. I was skeptical at first, but I'm so glad I took her class since I learned so much and because she spent time with me to help me become a better reader and writer. | 1B | |
| Natalia Menendez | Super caring and sweet professor. Professor Menedez also does not give out busy work. She is really easy to reach outside of class. I highly recommend taking a class with her! | ||
| Natalia Menendez | I had the pleasure of being in Ms. Menendez' first quarter teaching in 92 and was my favorite professor ever, any subject. She pushed all of us to dig deeper for meaning and had a gift for teaching persuasive writing. The reading material was well-curated, the discussions NEVER boring, and her passion infectious. Her comments on my papers �� and�� | Eng 12 | |
| Natalia Menendez | I loved this class! She gives extremely clear, step by step instructions on how to write the papers (make sure you read the modules, all the information you need is there). The prompts were very interesting, as well. We had a course reader, and a few books; they were pretty easy to get through. I was able to balance this class with a math class. | ||
| Natalia Menendez | I took Ms. Menendez class Winter 2020 (English 1B). There was a lot of work (and she DOES check for it), but I would definitely take her class again. She is very caring, and passionate about teaching. I highly recommend taking one of her classes. | 1B | |
| Natalia Menendez | I LOVED this class! She gives extremely clear, step by step instructions on how to write the papers (make sure you read the modules). I had fun writing the papers, too. The prompts were extremely interesting. I was never bored in this course. She also replies extremely quickly to messages/emails. Take her class, you will not regret it! | 1A | |
| Natalia Menendez | Professor Menendez is a truly wonderful instructor. She's not only a great lecturer, but also a friend to her students outside the classroom. She taught us great tutoring skills that I'm sure I'll apply for the rest of my life. | 1A | |
| Natalia Menendez | Best professors I have ever had in my life. She is such a great, patient, and supportive professor. All of her assignments have meaning, and she helps you improve your academic writing. | 1A | |
| Natalia Menendez | Professor Menendez was really helpful in guiding her students in skill building to be better tutors; everything she taught was really useful, and her handouts were a godsend on the job. The homework is easy, but the more you try with it the better. The class size is so small that she gets to know you on a personal level. | L61 |
| Richard Mills | Professor Mills runs a tough but rewarding class. The workload is heavy, with 5 essays, but everything is relevant and helps you improve your writing skills. He's super helpful in office hours and always gives great feedback. I found Unstuck ai really useful for essay prep. | 5 | 1A |
| Richard Mills | I felt like I still learned something but the class was graded pretty easily. When discussing things in class Professor Mills was always caring and took notes on what you'd say and always have something positive to say and add to the conversation. | 1A | |
| Richard Mills | The type of English teachers that gives out 100% on essays, just based on his rubrics. The topics are interesting, and he actually teaches you how to write. His class was hard to get for some reason, didn't even get waitlist for his two online1b classes on the first day to register. | 1A | |
| Richard Mills | Reading and discussions every week. Assignments have due dates but if turned 1-2 days after, it's okay. Teaches us instead of just giving you a prompt and telling you to write. Gives a clear layout and examples for the essays. 3 essays, 1 essay for midterm, and essay for final "exam" can be the score of your midterm. Can revise essay 1 or 2. | 3 | 1B |
| Richard Mills | Grades easy as long as you try. Good feedback. Creative freedom. Class filled with insightful class discussions and lectures. Most essays completed outside class. 5 essays in all including midterm and final. Great teacher who encourages the sharing of ideas and opinions. Very comfortable class atmosphere. Participation points depend on attendance. | 5 | 1A |
| Richard Mills | I basically didn't do anything for the first 6 weeks of class and he still accepted every assignment for full credit and his grading on essays is very fair and he makes multiple comments to help you understand where you could improve and where you did good. I really enjoyed getting praised for my writing, which I am not used to. | 1B | |
| Richard Mills | 5 essays are a lot, but all the work you do relates to the essays needed for the class. Everything you do is actually needed and overall makes it really easy and clear what he expects. He cares a lot about the students. I once last minute changed my entire essay and he was completely fine and even encouraged me to go outside my comfort zone. | 1A | |
| Richard Mills | Good reading set, great lectures and wholesome reviews. I would definitely recommend this class | 1A | |
| Richard Mills | I do not enjoy English classes, but Richard is incredible! The homework load is super reasonable and he's an easy grader! He's always willing to help and overall I loved his class 10/10 would recommend!!! | 1A | |
| Richard Mills | Learned a lot from him, he is clear and friendly. Always ready to help students. | 1A | |
| Richard Mills | Professor Mills is one of my favorite teachers at Foothill! He answers quickly and gives helpful feedback during office hours. I would always ask him to meet whenever I want to go over my drafts. Expect lots of reading and writing, but it's worth it for the skills you'll learn. I recommend his class to students who want to learn a lot :) | 1A | |
| Richard Mills | Ok. The lectures get very boring. Be ready to talk to people around you EVERY class, so pick where you sit wisely on your first day! It felt very intense; deadlines are strict. Some say he's a tough grader, I'd say he's very far from that (if you follow the instructions). If you connect with him (share your ideas/thoughts), he'll be more lenient :) | 1A | |
| Richard Mills | Love this guy, amazing English professor to take if you're not shy. | 1A | |
| Richard Mills | The worst prof I have ever taken in Foothill, VERY VERY VERY harsh grader. Wasn't respectful in office hours meeting and is not willing to help students instead of giving few advices. | 1A | |
| Richard Mills | English was my least favorite subject, but after taking his class, I enjoyed reading and writing essays. He's an excellent teacher and will try to help you improve your reading and writing skills. Be prepared to read and write. | 1A | |
| Richard Mills | Professor Mills is a very fair grader and provides you with exactly what he expects. Writing has never been my strength and I feel like he helped me improve my skills. Although at times it felt like a little too much if you put the effort in you should get a good grade | 1A | |
| Richard Mills | Great professor! I was lucky to learn from him! Lots of homework and discussions, he keeps you busy, but you learn a lot! He chooses very interesting topics, so readings are all captivating. Easy grader. | 1A | |
| Richard Mills | Prof. Mills is a fantastic teacher. I am taking him through an asynchronous online English class. He is highly accomodating and was able to work with me when I was struggling. There are a lot of weekly assignments, but they are beneficial for essays. The layout of the class is clear and easy to follow. I wish I could take him for English 1B!! | 1A |
