Awesome
I don't get the negative reviews here. He is a fantastic professor, and if you complete the work, his class is a breeze. He provides extremely useful comments and is willing to work with you if you require it. 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND.

Good
I honestly don't understand any of the negative reviews about Professor Orlando. This class was easier than English 101. You have one research paper to do the entire semester and do different simple assignments, to prepare each part of the paper. There's a bit of classwork and discussion, but everything is very easy. Also, he grades notes quickly and gives good feedback. Overall this class is an easy A.

Professor Orlando is the best choice. I think the nature of English 302 was the reason for the amount of work. And sometimes, it felt like busy work. In addition to the weekly class assignments, there are five major assignments, including an annotated bibliography, a flyer, a rhetorical analysis, and a final paper. This course truly has a lot of work, but he made it easier.
