Had maam last sem for LAS 130 and I’d say she was okay, but I wouldn’t take her again
While her modules are quite organized on Canvas, medyo malabo siya magbigay ng instructions. We already had 2 beadles for the class and we always had follow up questions for every assessment we had throughout the sem.
Speaking of assessments, most of them were by randomized grps (1 final grp paper, grp presentations, 2 indiv papers). We had a component called group process task (GPT) and even though the syllabus said we’d have 5 throughout the sem we actually did 8 😬 and all were presentations. So we presented almost every onsite session. She lectures okay but it could get boring at times. I’d also recommend to sit nearer to the front since ma’am’s voice is a bit soft (but that could also be because of gonzaga classrooms).
In terms of grading, she didn’t really give much assessments back during the sem. She gave ~90% of the grades back after finals, and I’d say she’s A-able with effort.
TLDR: A-able but the workload is heavy and instructions for reqs are vague most of the time.more

she was super motherly and really takes the time to have consultations with her students. she shows how much she cares swear she's the sweetest!
in terms of workload, super chill we had like one presentation and three reflection journals. the journals were super easy to do cause maximum two pages and double spaced pa. the final presentation was also easy cause the panel was just your classmates and ma’am just gave comments. we also had discussion boards but they weren’t required or graded but it’d be good to go through them as a part of the modules pa rin.
in terms of grading, i thought she’d be grading kinda low cause the grades most of the class received for the journals were B/B+ standing only but i think she curves because most, if not all of us, got A for our final grade.more

omggg TAKE SIR JAI life-changing fr 🙏🏻🩷
he conducts onsite classes (and to be honest, he’s very strict with attendance), but tbh it’s not hard to go to his class because you’ll def enjoy it. the workload is manageable naman (lol esp compared to amante — don’t take her)
overall, i love sir jai and would take him again if i couldmore

Loved her as a teacher, everything was clear, concise and she was compassionate about the students. I remember people sometimes were a bit confused with instructions, but other than that, she's great. Yeah, you can get an A. more

Does anyone know if AMANTE, HELEN U. or the LAS Department is lenient on making new slots for students? I enlisted in her class but medyo conflicting kasi sa sched ko so I was wondering if possible to join her earlier class.more
