Reviews of professor Nicolas Alarcon

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
U create a cartoon portfolio of cartoons of your own, like the New Yorker magazine & write a cover letter for this project. Nxt proj. is writing 5 minute sets (stand up comedy) and then the final part you combine several & make it into one. The final project is a video of a sketch about student life, that U do in a group of 3. Easy grade.

Professor Alarcon is a great professor, he gives great lectures and really wants you to do well, attendance is mandatory and there are 3 projects and no final. Definite A if you show up to class and do the homework on time. explains things really well, would definitely take again.

He is one of those professors that wants you to learn rather than give out grades. One major paper and two group assignments and then weekly assignments. Nice guy don't stress it just participate in class. He also looks like John Cena.

Everyday there is a group assignment and his writings assignments are crazy hard. Do not take him!! There are 4 papers and they are over some hard rhetoric bull sh*t.

I had him during the fall 2020 semester and due to COVID our class became fully online. At first There were no problems up until everything class related was on facebook, he didnt use D2L at all which was annoying and on top of that, all of our work was group work for the whole semester which is hard when your team wasn't doing their part.

ENGL1101. Hands-off online class. Chill guy, lax grader. Three major assignments, 60%, weekly participation assignments, 40%. No final. The weekly assignments were done in groups of three or four- hopefully, y'all like your assigned groups. Generally a fun class though.

I love him so much that I had to register for his 1102 class. His classes are different from your average English classes, and that makes his teaching style unique. You have two textbooks that revolve around rhetoric, humor, comedy, and more. There are four major assignments and no final or exams. He grades fair and wants us to succeed.
