Great at the core; self-study the dept slides
positive
CourseMSYS21
Retake?Yes
He's one of my favorite profs in Ateneo. He's great at teaching and explaining concepts that you need to know, so you will surely learn the lesson at its core. However, you may need to self-study the Powerpoint slides on departmental exams because he does not discuss it in in-depth during class. He only focuses on the core of the lesson, which is what you honestly need at the end of the day. I'm not sure if he will be like this in CS21A/MSYS21 though because it has been a while since he taught that class. He's also a cool guy and cares for his students. If you need help on a subject matter, he will do his best to make time for you should you need a one-on-one consultation. Either way, having him as your prof is a good thing. :)more

Fun, approachable, but practice a lot on your own
positive
Retake?Yes

Sir Pao is one of my favorite profs in Ateneo! He’s one of those profs that will make learning fun with side stories and real life examples. Very approachable din siya, if you want to ask him for help, don’t hesitate kasi he’s always g to help. But since he’ll be teaching a programming class, expect na you’ll have to study and practice a lot on your own since he’s more of the bigger picture type of guy! Super fun and solid prof! Goodluck with programming though 🤪more

Nitpicky on diagrams; extra effort for an A
neutral
i’d say he’s nitpicky HQBAHA. his quizzes are fine but he’s rlly strict when it comes to checking diagrams (which you’ll be doing A LOT in BAD). you really need to exert xtra effort to get an A cuz sir is attentive to small details and he will not hesitate to point out inconsistencies/errors.
other than that, never shy away from asking as much questions to him cuz he’ll be more than happy to answer them!more

Dumbs topics down and grades pretty well
positive
Retake?Yes
LeniencyYes
Had a lot of programming profs and he teaches really good and explains topics by dumbing it down which is helpful rather than sticking to jargons, also allows excuses for lates if valid which was pretty helpful for me in an online class setup. He grades pretty well more

Alright and easy to ask, lectures can get confusing
positive
I've only had him for MIS 131/141, but he's generally alright, really easy to talk to/ask questions to. You just need to watch out if the lecture is going too fast/becomes confusing sometimes though!more

He believes in students, legit the best
positive
Retake?Yes
He was the one who pushed me to go to JTA years ago. I really appreciate his believing in students. I think it will be the same if you take him as a prof. Legit. He is the best (y)more

Stories plus lecture; thorough in coding

Sir Pao is a good mix of stories and lecture for his other classes. But when he taught some coding classes he was very thorough Naman so you should be able to get itmore

you will be pushed under sir pao but you will definitely learn a lot!! not like passion lessons but actual practical skills talaga lol BAD in itself is a challenge but if anything, great mentorship matters. go sir pao!

Sir Pao is the goat if you really want to learn about software dev things. Agree that needs effort to A but worth in the end for knowing about his insights.
