Heavy workload, messy deadlines, start early

mixed

• LeniencyNo
• WorkloadHeavy

Run if u can! Chz took him for Socsci 13 and Im his beadle last quarter! (NOT DS MAJOR SO mabigat) Heaaaavvy workload we had 5 modules for the whole quarter (but 5-10 sub topics? Basta super dami) manageable when you start early but if you’re a type of person who do requirements last minute i advice you NOT to take sir 🙂 Modules were vv organized but the deadlines are not. We took him for 2nd quarter but the deadlines are for like 1st quarter so u can see A LOT of late and missing grade marks sa canvas. Sobrang gulo ng deadlines LOL. He’s vvv strict w deadlines and each module you need to accomplish Discussion boards with 200-300 or 300-500 words each, reflection video recit, practice quizzes and graded quizzes. Don’t fck up the discussion boards because it rlly affects your grade. Jus read every details sa modules bc it appears on the quizzes like kahit small details. For the last module we had application of module 2 (which is using the 5 frameworks, draft of the development assessment report, presentations, final paper, and video reflection) walang tulog tulog bc deliverables under mod 5 are worth 30% of final grade. Let the beadle talk to him about moving the deadlines etc and he’s willing to adjust naman but u need a solid reason LOL in terms of the grading he grades fair (like when he knows u put effort he will give u a perfect score but if mema lang he will literally give u low) There’s a graded work worth 5 points (but super nakakaffect to sa final grade) he gave my group a perfect 5 points but the mean score of the class was 1.5 (idk why but yes goodluck). In terms of the draft, (when i checked the canvas) he gave us 20.65/25 and the lowest was 10/25. Got an A but super duper effort, B+ with effort, C+ saks lang more

Love-or-hate him, organized but heavy online

Hello! Took sir Mark for two classes already, DEV 106 and SocSc 13. It's really you either love him or hate him, but personally, I loved taking his class (took him online twice). For an online class, the modules were so organized. Readings are not a lot, and are usually suggested not required. Don't get me wrong though, medyo mabigat workload niya. A LOT of discussion boards (siguro 2-3 per module and ALL graded). 3-minute reflection every end of module, but take this seriously kasi laki ng percentage nito sa grade (just get concepts from across the module then you're good). Quiz every end of modules (manageable just review, very objective naman). Idk for non-DS majors though, but our SocSci 13 was different kasi we had to work on a group paper for a client community. So I don't know what will replace that for other majors. In terms of leniency, he's strict. Pero in my opinion, he's fair naman and gives deadlines only at the worst of times (like the Typhoon). A lot of people from my class didn't like him because he's not your usual nice prof. But idk, I find him nice naman HAHAHA just don't ask stupid questions that can be found in the module kasi he'll give you a passive aggressive reply HAHAHAHAHA Grades fairly, you really need effort pero kaya yan! Honestly one of my favorite profs idol ko yan ganda pa ng credentials, he knows his stuff.more

Don't skip a word; A/B+ with effort

positive

Tip: Never skip reading a word on the modules. Everything counts, especially for the quizzes. He gives practice quizzes every end of a sub lesson sa isang module so you really get to sharpen your knowledge! Got an A twice. I'd say A/B+ with effort. He's not afraid to give you a low grade tho. So baka average B/C+ if little effortmore

Well for our class, it's tied up with NSTP kasi so sir asked us to choose a partner organization individually (first come first serve basis) then students who signed up for that area became our groupmates. more

Follow the rubrics; last-minute 3% bonus

positive

++ for the last minute he gave a bonus of 3% of the final grade by jus answering the survey about his class (maybe i think to pull up the grades of the class because a lot of my classmates are getting low scores before) you jus need to FOLLOW THE RUBRICS FOR EVERYTHING then u guds more
