Workload-heavy ENGL11; beadle gets no perks
mixed
- CourseENGL11
- WorkloadHeavy
hi, i'm his beadle for this 1st sem ('25-'26) in engl11 if u plan to be his beadle, then expect him to fully utilize your position cuz there was one time i had to run to dela costa from berchman just to get the cartolinas he forgot on the day of the presentation 😭 he expects you to take attendance every session, makes you ensure that everyone is in a group, relay his announcements from canvas to the section gc, etc. so don't volunteer if u're like.... expecting extra perks or sumn cuz there isn't, i just volunteered to stay updated w/ his tasks since past reviews were saying he gives out a lot of stuff to do and that part is true! he is very workload heavy. but it's not so bad (?) since most of these are group tasks. so, as long as u have good groupmates u'll be fine cuz he doesn't grade low unless ur group did like rlly rlly bad his quizzes, at least for me, were rlly hard. he focuses more on concepts rather than memorization, so make sure u understand what he is teaching and ditch memorizing definitions word by word cuz i don't think it will help u here. iirc most of the section got rlly low scores here but it's fine cuz he does give out extra credits/bonus points! u get extra credits based on how much u recite, attend enrichment activities, and/or post your answers on his learning takeaways. he has these activities called mini-essays which, according to him, are going to prepare u for his major tasks. they were initially part of the criteria for grading, but he converted the scores we got here to bonus points. he never said why; i'm assuming it's bcuz of the low scores we got in the quizzes and probably (?) the major tasks for some ppl as well. don't expect the same will happen for your class though as a professor, he does his job well; not too boring, not too life-changing. i don't think u'll get bored with his activities cuz he formats these in a way that will let u think critically about communication as a whole. i never found a single one of them boring but that might just b me he mentioned this in our syllabus too but he takes a while to respond to inquiries. when i message him, it takes about 1-3 days until he replies. so if u have a question abt something, it's best if u ask him f2f, pero if it can't be helped, just shoot him a message also uh,,,, this contradicts what someone else said but he allowed us to use our devices? like i had my laptop out every session except when we had activities so.... i think it's bcuz i messaged him that he was teaching too fast sometimes and most of the class were struggling to jot down everything on time so he just.... allowed us LOL. other than that, what everyone is saying here is true overall, he's B+/A-able! if it wasn't for his bonus points i think i'd be getting a B+ but not anymore! thank GOD for extra credits. you may find him a bit,,,, difficult at first, but u'll learn quickly that he's someone you can approach easily and will entertain u! if it's something u'd want, he provides individual consultations so that you'll know where you can improve on in your oral presentations/written works to get a higher grade gl ^^ 🤗 i hope he teaches u as well as he did in my classmore

hello i was his beadle for intercession sy 24-25 personality: sir seems scary at first but is actually really nice and kind and will help you if you ask!! the way he teaches is ok (neither boring or life-changing) but he was usually very jolly nman whenever we saw him! He also DOES NOT allow gadgets so you have to take down notes using paper and pen (opt. you can submit your notes after class for bonus points) he has scheduled asynch days and will NOT consider most requests to turn the class asynch/online so you have to be there tlaga ;; cuts wise if you overcut he may be considerate depending on your class standing )unsure you have to ask) and he's very considerate/sympathetic nman with any concerns you may have grades wise: unsure if the same for others but for me it was A-able with moderate effort (B+ to B with minimal)!! he grades fairly and gives feedback nman on your papers if you ask! In tests he's a bit stricter but mostly sa explanation lang ;; For groupworks he's usually very lenient (never goes below B) unless your group is really bad so just get decent groupmates and submit on time and you're good ^^ workload: We had multiple readings discussed (around 5+), individual/group activities (2+), process tasks (3), major tasks (2) and 1 final synthesis essay. medyo heavy yung workload nya as most of these were done onsite and written exam (so medyo maraming essays) pero its doable naman provided you have good time management ;_; the major tasks were a presentation and video about a chosen topic (unsure if you or sir will choose but for us it sa sir) followed by a q&a session by all the groups (1 question per group) and sir himself ^^ edit: he gives bonus hw to do for plus points and grades recitation based on the number of times you recite (he will have the beadle make a spreadsheet and count) Good luck 🫡🫡🫡more

i served as his beadle this intercession he's really nice and A-able with minimal effort!! Honestly thought he was gonna be terror with all the past comments but suprisingly not that bad, he lets the class move deadlines pretty easily and his tests weren't that bad as long as you studied (kahit 30 minutes to 1 hr pa lang ok na) to note lang: Very hard to get asynch class even if it's raining hard many readings (oral recitation will save your grade i swear), we had 2 per module during intercession doesn't give your test papers back until end 😞 gives out extra credit (highly suggest you get them they pulled my grade up) we had 3 tests and 2 final presentations, the first 2 tests were about the movies and the last one was a synthesis essay of essentially what you learned in his class!! we had film analysis & creating a video about AI as our final project, so get good groupmates (also had discourse but lowk that was ok) I got an A with minimal effort, just recite as much as you can!! Also he is very considerate with cuts as long as the grades are alright (though not sure if it was just a one time thing for our class)more

guys update he actually was very easy A like its kinda crazy how different he was from the comments from previous years. Not sure if he just improved talaga or it was the fast paced environment of intersession that made it easy but overall he was very understanding and nice. The readings were very easy to understand except the first one we had but the others were easy which is what made the recitation in this class easy and doable as well. His questions were just about the reading so as long as you understand the reading you’ll be fine. Other than that the requirements were very doable as well, we have 2 major group works which was one a film analysis presentation and another was a short film we had to make, so pick good groupmates! Additionally we had some process tasks which were basically worksheets done after the recitation of the readings, super easy and doable. Then we had a synthesis essay which was like another major requirement, it was onsite but basically just a reflection essay so it was also easy lol. All in all yall should take him!! He improved a lot and became an easy A prof 😊❤️more

If he gives out extra credit in intersession, take every opportunity you can. Got an A with a lot of effort and a couple breakdowns. Good luck.

Lots of essays, notes needed, considerate
positive

I am his beadle and I would say his old reviews are way way way wayyyy different now. His teaching style is ok. You might get confused on how he explains things at first but as meetings pass by, you will get his style. Although better take down notes because he doesn't give the ppts and the canvas module contains just the gist. Workload is manageable for me. But for my classmates, it's a bit heavy (Sabi nila). Get ready for a lottt of essays. He has cue cards for recitation so if you were called don't waste the opportunity to get extra points! He is approachable and very considerate!more
