Hello I took him for FA 104 😃 (i think it's FA 104? do they still call it that?) Tl;dr he has a sweetheart personality + his requirements are hella easy + he WANTS to give you an A but you still have to complete the (easy) reqs + extremely lenient deadlines it's #criminal If you're here, you're probably a fine arts major and I'm assuming you have a different line of questions for FA profs right? all about the #experience HAHA I promise his class is QUINTESSENTIAL to feeling like you can actually make a living out of your (our) pathetic arts degrees HAHAHA jokes aside, his classes are all about the practical and professional concerns of the fine arts degree. he goes in depth to the pertinents such as paying taxes as a freelancer, getting gigs in the creatives industry, and my favorite of all COPYRIGHT LAW!! among other things of course that i can't list down here because there is A LOT of useful stuff that he teaches. Requirements are just very personal experience and opinion type discussion boards. i know the Gen Z youngsters hate those but I promise again his are the absolute easiest!! In fact I did them as a way to procrastinate/distract myself from other subjects that were stressing me out HAHAHA he asks stuff like "you got any plans for the future?" or "what kind of artist are you?" and other times he had these debates about like "which of these two scenarios do you think is acceptable under copyright law?" again you don't need to know scat to answer these; he just wants personal insight and opinion. there isn't even a word count; some people put "I think it's A because blah blah" one sentence only. Perhaps it's worth mentioning that the hardest req in my experience was the final submission? It's half a paper and half an output. The output is your resume HAHAHA that got me scared sh*tless cuz I'm an adulting noob. The other is a more practical, clear, tangible plan or list of potential routes that you would take right after college. Don't worry though cuz it's stuff you'll already be working on throughout the sem. That sounds kinda complicated but i promise he's incredibly kind and patient about it. i have never seen him give deductions HAHAHA but don't be patapon either you have to complete the bare minimum HAHA For grading, he said himself that HE WANTS to give everyone A's. The only reason he requires us to fulfill all the stuff is because he needs to submit to the corporate university as basis for his grading. Otherwise he said himself he wants to make this as easy for people as possible. My favorite part about his class though is that he makes it a point to make you feel so good about yourself HAHA it's like he knows us fine arts majors are hella insecure about the future. his lectures get more and more uplifting as the sem progresses, and he always talks about how excited and impressed he is with the heart that he sees in us young budding artists HAHA if you've read this far, napaka cool sh*t talaga he's actually the creator of that old comic Private Iris HAHAHAHA mind was so blown in the first day when i found outmore

Had him for FA 104 last sem! I think it's his first time teaching FA 103, though haha not sure. Super nice and chill guy. He always told us that he didn't want to put emphasis on grades and that he just wanted us to learn. He's worked in a lot of the arts--especially comics, writing, publishing, etc--so he likes to tell stories about his work, which was oftentimes fun and helpful. When classes were suspended (because of covid lol) he recorded lectures and uploaded interviews with practitioners/supplementary materials for us. Also graded our activities pretty high! He likes creative outputs and activities. Overall, pretty chill and easy to communicate with naman.more
