As a FSP student, I had the amazing opportunity to have Dr. Martinez as a professor! I heavily recommend taking any form of English class with him. As someone who was initially afraid of taking a Writing II course in their first quarter because of insecurity about their writing, I left as a stronger and slightly more confident writer.

Dr. Martinez assigns readings (PDFs are provided) that will be discussed in the lecture and relate to the assignments. Overall, the workload consists of 1 weekly essay and 1 response (related to the readings).
Dr. Martinez also coordinates peer reviews (2 classmates), therefore, completed essay drafts are expected. As long as you manage your time properly, you will be fine. The final was a 6-7 page I-Search Research paper, where you select a topic that interests you. I'm unsure if this is exclusive to ENG100W, but he does set deadlines at 5 PM for all assignments. In the beginning, I thought that was odd, however, reflecting now, I believe this was to discourage procrastination (which helped in my case).

To note, Dr. Martinez is a very sweet and friendly professor, and I regret not attending his office hours. I can not emphasize enough that if you ever have the opportunity to take a class with him, do it.
