Background
Depends on youEducation · Career · CoursesShowHide
Depends on youread from published reviews and public records · low confidence
Take Banasihan for HISTO 11 if you want a lecturer the one writeup calls passionate about history, with a manageable load and written feedback when she agrees. Lean away if you need short, concise papers — that student had to unlearn concise writing. One truncated comment is not enough for lean_take or take.
Suits
students who like an enthusiastic HISTO 11 lecturer
students willing to write long, developed answers and do the readings
students who will treat discussion boards as real discussion

MA. ESTELA E. BANASIHAN | HISTO 11Hi! I’ve searched and saw posts mostly about her performance in Histo 12. I’d like to ask how she is as a professor in Histo 11. We haven’t met her yet since she opted to hold our first meeting asynchronously.We also noticed on Canvas that synchronous classes will be held online. Does this mean she rarely teaches in person?Thank you! I’d really appreciate any additional input as well

One of the best, but far from an easy A

Had her for Histo 11. While I can say she's one of the best profs I've had in my stay in ateneo she's far from an easy A. Make sure to read the readings and have detailed notes with citations. For the first groupwork we had you're kind of screwed without them. After that though the requirements become asynch work and she gives you a week or two off to complete them. There lectures themselves were very enlightening and I can say I learned a lot about Rizal from her. The videos she picked also showed facets of different heroes lives that most hs teachers tend to brush off. Recitation is very important. Recite as much as you can it's a big chunk of your grade. She loves wordy answers and this goes for both recitation, disc boards and outputs, her sentence limit isn't a limit but a minimum. Overall solid prof but you do have to put in the extra work.more

If you get hi16, get Que. He's fun, informative and never boring. He's a theater actor so he dances & sings (and occassionally acts) to accompany his lessons (his one-man Miss Saigon is a must-see). He's personally been to most of the asian countries so he has many personal experiences that he'd share with you. He dresses up each meeting based on the lesson he'll teach, and he usually dresses up one of the students din :)) 1/4 sheet quizzes, and they're manageable as long as you study. his only hard test is the midterms. open notes finals. There's also a final group presentation where he'll give feedback so you'll give a good presentation by the end of the sem. One of the nicest profs ever. Easy B-B+, A if you give effort.
also he's not that well-known cuz he's new so he's batch 2-able hehemore

Gilbert Que for HI 16!!! He'll make learning Asian history fun :) Gives occasional quizzes, and he shares his slides to the class. His final requirement is creative report on a country that's seldom talked about, so make sure to get nice groupmates for that. And he grades pretty alright. You won't regret taking him.more

GILBERT QUE for Hi16! He's super passionate about Asian histo and he never repeats his outfit since his outfits are always related to the lesson/s for the day. Doesn't give a lot of requirements- gives a few quizzes (like 3-4), midterms, finals (you can be exempted), a short paper, and 1 group project. He's really funny and he even has "performances" during class most of the time. I always looked forward to his class and I never got bored. :D His class is A-able as long as you listen to what he tells you to focus on, super kaya talaga! He's one of the best profs I ever had! :)more

Ma'am Coo HI 18 gives out so many bonuses, it's equivalent to one quiz (which is 25 points) and all you have to do is watch movies or documentaries. Her quizzes are by group so if you get good groupmates you can split the work so it's less hassle.more
