Comment:
I really enjoyed his class. His lectures are very inspiring and not boring. There are topics of discussions to do each week which I recommend to do early since the answers need to be well written. There are no tests, but there are about one or two group projects to do. There is a final paper of 12 pages which was a bit difficult, but overall great.

Take his class. It is his last year (2015-16). He has amazing lectures and connects them to life, you will take a lot from his lectures. He teaches you to think in a way I cannot explain. He will show you many concepts and many aspects of life. He has a lot of stories as well. Only true challenge is the research paper and group project,but worth it

Comment:
Professor Heredia is one of the most inspirational and interesting professors I've had. He expects 10+ "topics for discussion" due at the beginning of each week, a page or more in length for each topic, worth 10 points total. So approximately 1 point for each page which isn't realistic whatsoever. Other than that, he's a great professor.

hardest class i've taken. assigned a 12 page max research paper, and a group project based off the book 1984. there were no tests. also had weekly assignments that came from the book that took awhile to complete. he knows what he's talking about, but he is intense and expects a lot from you. it's a hard class, but i learned a lot.

Comment:
4 speeches were the only assignments. expects a lot out of his students. when he goes off topic, it's entertaining and you still learn something, even if it had nothing to do with communications. practice your speeches beforehand!

Comment:
He talks a lot about his life, but it's inspirational, and he also explains the book's concepts well. I would take another class of his again if I had to, but I've got a lot of other credits to take right now. He's an overall great, and funny professor. He's very helpful and I was always excited to go to his class.

Everyone in my class, including myself, didn't start the 12 page paper or group project until the last few weeks. Make sure to start those EARLY and don't procrastinate because you will regret it. The book was only used to do the chapter questions every week. There was no tests in my class. I really liked him as a teacher he has a lot of stories

Comment:
This professor is the worst professor her at GRCC. I had him for a communications class but I am pretty sure I learned more about his childhood and his divorce than I did Communications. He not only gives out a ton of homework but he also never explains when anything is due. Always guessing in the class. DO NOT TAKE HIM!

He was a great teacher. He took time to inform you of key details & the reasoning behind the film before you viewed it. He also shared personal stories that helped you relate to the films being viewed. He's very wise, open minded & eagerly involved the class in class discussions after viewing the films. I have a lot of respect for him

I loved this class. I went into it with no knowledge of what it was about, and came out considering a degree in Communications. Great professor.

Comment:
Took his class 12 yrs ago. I still think of him too often as the single, worst excuse for an educater that I have seen. I was astounded that someone so incompetent could be so arrogant! Each class was an opportunity to bask in his greatness. My fondest memory? "the dialectic" . His ridiculous attempt to sound profound.

Worst professor I have ever had. He is lazy and only cares about telling stories about his childhood. He has nothing important to share and shouldn't have a job teaching. He doesn't care about his students, and he complains about others not doing their job. I regret taking his class more than anything I have ever done.

Best humanities teacher at CC. This guy really needs to make a movie of his life. Great lectures. Doesn't post grades but does hand papers back. 10 journals,1 research paper, and a group project. If you slack off you'll get a B but if you try it's an easy A

If you learn by hearing stories of war, a scarred childhood, and a general lack of money, then this is the class for you. I enjoy public speaking, but all you do is 4 speeches, which he grades harshly.

Didn't explain what was expected just told us to take notes on the Lectures which were inconsistent and ambiguous.Said that if there was a problem with the HW we were handing in he would let us know but he never mentioned it after that.Failed the class and I have no clue why because he never posted grades so I've no way of knowing what I did wrong.

He was the worst professor I have ever had. When asked how to write the final project he just said to write until it was complete. When asked what that meant he never gave an answer. Do not take a class with this man. Terrible teacher
