Grades fair; read ahead and you'll manage

positive

Add to those points: I agree it seems kinda hard, but if you can read just a bit ahead of the lesson you'll manage really well. His quizzes are mostly objective, even his essay quizzes where he asks you to apply a concept he taught in class (and these quizzes are usually open book), but then he does ask about details in the books that you might have a hard time remembering. He also likes his students to participate in class, so he might call you randomly. He has 2 papers and a final exam that you can be exempted from if your pre-final grade is around B+ though it is really hard to do so in his class.He grades fair, so it really just depends on the quality of work you output. It was actually relatively chill, like said above you can even get away with relying on online summaries, though he does require you to have a physical copy of the book (but he tries to be patient with ppl who don't). Overall, I enjoyed his class and I can say I learned from him. Reading list includes: Beowulf, Dante's Inferno, Thomas More's Utopia, Miguel de Cervantes's Don Quixote, Machiavelli's The Prince, Shakespeare's King Lear. He did have other books planned for our class but we weren't able to tackle them, so it might not be a good idea to buy books too fast.more

Great prof if you read and listen

positive

He's a great prof. Obviously lot of readings, usually 1 book every 2 weeks (depending on your class' speed. our was kinda delayed cause of the suspensions and some people weren't as engaged) It's a lot of back and forth from you and Doc Chua so saying you have to read is kinda overstating it na lol. Quizzes once a week. They're pretty manageable if you read and listen. 2 major papers. 1 final exam. Some of my classmates were failing in a lot of the quizzes so Sir made them report on some stuff to raise their grades. Overall great prof, he expects a lot from his students. Just listen and don't disrupt class and you should be fine. Basta wag tamad.more
