bump! how is his workload especially online

neutral

Def knows his stuff because he’s a lawyer himself! Just read the cases beforehand and familiarize yourself with the concepts in case he randomly calls you in class HAHAHA tests are essay type and it calls for the application of lessons! A good prof with fun personality and jokes but yun lang you wouldn’t know your standing until release of grades hahahuhumore

neutral

Last sem, he only had one class scheduled, which was at 8 in the morning! Given that, you have to do your best to get into the classroom by that time because he does take note of attendance. It’s apparently important, so try not to use up your cuts for this class. Or to fall asleep in his class. He’ll remember you for it 😶more

ohh and to add, she's a-able naman with effort. for our advisory marks i actually got an F because my quizzes were pretty bad (but that's because i wasn't really able to find a study method that worked for me by the first months of classes) but i ended up pulling through and got an A as my final grade in her class hehemore

Took his class and it was very intense. I'd say he's one of the strict profs that I enjoyed recently. He isn't strict just because he was power tripping, he just genuinely enjoy order. For his class, sync classes are recorded and the cut system is being followed. You're either present, late, or absent. If you're absent, you'll need to present an excuse letter before or after your absence. If he notices that a lot of the class is absent, he'll give out bonus grades, so make sure to attend all of his classes. His lessons are manageable if you exert the effort. He wants you to read the readings before his classes, and you really should because he will call on people randomly. He takes note of the people he calls randomly because he also grades recitation. He teaches well, and his PowerPoints are usually easy to follow. For his tests, our beadle really had to fight for it not to be a sync examination. So if he suggests that, make sure to tell him that the recent memos don't allow professors to do that. All the exams are essay type, and only have five questions. Some are easy, the kind that you only need your stock knowledge to answer them, but some will make you read back to all of your lessons. Answer fast tho, because you only have 2-3 hours to answer them. In terms of his workload, I'd say it's manageable? We only had to pass 2 reqs every month, and there's also 3 reportings you have to do with your groupmates about a case. B able if you exert the work in and recite in his class.more

You will literally not know what your grade will be until grades actually come out because he doesn't return tests at all HAHA His questions have the same voice and style as bar exams, no joke. Puro essay mga tests niya ofc. He has a soft voice and he's generally usually in a good mood. Just be responsible with reading the materials and cases and you'll get a decent grade, around a B. If you're the Beadle, PROVIDE A LAPTOP OR FACE WRATH. I love Dr. Candelaria he's such a dad rin like he also let us watch a movie and eat in his class for that one day :3 just pls provide a laptop and read Cc Jayvee del Rosariomore

Lowkey Ma'am convinced me that POS Department (specifically DipIR) is nice. I stayed because of her. Very manageable workload, and she teaches well and tries her best. Very approachable if you need help and have a problem. Her lectures are good but are only supplementary to the readings which I think is ideal A-able if you actually deserve it, She grades very fairly and gives bonuses din. I enjoyed her class and I'd recommend her to othersmore

positivePOLSC 20

Genuinely one of the best professors I’ve had the honor of being taught by during my stay in Ateneo so far. Took her for my POLSC 20 and 21 back in my first year, and though I’m unsure of how she teaches SocSci 14, I don’t think her approach will vary that drastically. - Overall manageable workload, can get heavy at times due to the assigned readings, but nothing overwhelmingly unrealistic or undoable in-between class days. The “heaviness” was moreso due to the nature of the class rather than Miss Trixie’s teaching style, which is really as simplified as you can get without losing any of the key concepts. - Speaking of her teaching/lecturing style, again, she simplifies a lot of concepts for you and generally makes the readings digestible. However, don’t rely solely on her lectures — she also would like for you to actually take time to understand the readings, so set some time aside to read and process them. Some items we had in our quizzes were from the readings, others from her onsite lectures. She shares her PPT slides as well, but don’t rely solely on them. - Super, super, SUPER understanding and always willing to lend you a hand, so don’t hesitate to ask her for clarifications and for consultations. She has such a passion for the class that she’ll transmit to you as well, but beyond her role as a professor, she really cares about her students. She was such a point of reference for me during my first year (still is up to now!) and she’s quite lively and motherly to her students :)) - You get the grade you deserve, quite literally. It’s hard to fail Miss Trixie’s class unless you do and submit literally nothing because of how understanding and accommodating she is. She will give you all the chances you need to get a good grade or to recover from a bad one. She gives some bonus activities. - She’s willing to move deadlines naman, but don’t abuse this; she’s accommodating when she can afford to be, but she’s also firm on her ground rules and non-nego deadlines. - She’s A-able, but not an overwhelmingly easy A. Somewhere in the middle ig, but IMO she grades very fairly. Overall, I absolutely recommend and vouch for her! I hope you’ll enjoy her classes as much as I did 💌more

maybe it's just me nitpicking, but it can be hard to follow her lectures onsite when she's sharing her ideas bc the way she talks can be quite confusing. she uses a lot of filler words so you really have to filter through that. but can vouch, she's really good all in all. very generous, please try to read her readings bc they're informative naman talaga. tho if ure busy, it wouldn't really matter cos the readings are only complimentary to the slides & discussion. just listen in class & avoid being absent if u wont readmore

hii, i can't really remember if the recitations were graded (i'm so sorry i barely checked the syllabus about it😭), but from my experience she likes it when the class participates. u don't really have to be super knowledgeable about the material in order to participate cause she also appreciates when u apply little details from ur lessons to real-world scenarios, it could be the smallest details even!! tip lang, just go thru the syllabus for the details such as rubrics and graded recits kasi her syllabus is pretty straightforward naman and she also doesn't like it when students ask questions that are answered by the syllabus na. aside that, she's a sweetheart!more

positiveSOCSC14

Great prof! Had her last year for SOCSC14. Discussions were fruitful and insightful. Assessments are manageable. We had short essays, short presentations, and discussion boards. There was also an individual synthesis. Bulk of the grade would come from the advocacy paper that you will write the whole semester. Take advantage of the consultation as she is super eager to help you improve you paper. Frankly, there are no stupid questions to her cause she is open to all inquiries. Take her if you can! Definitely vouching for her. A-able!more
