A/B+-able but tiring, strict on absences
4.0 attainableYes
Can vouch for what the other person in this thread said. Very A/B+-able naman siya if you put in the effort. As someone who is neither a dancer nor an athletic person, I find her class quite enjoyable once I get the steps. You just got to really understand and get used to the flow of things, but I have to warn you that this class is very tiring (especially if you're not athletic).
For onsite, I would have to say that she's pretty decent naman if you focus, but still a tough one to work with if you have no experience. She gets straight to the point in teaching her combos, and would not hesitate to continue even if you struggled (I heavily suggest that you ask her for help in understanding each step). You might not get the steps at first (which would probably frustrate you if you aim to be perfect). Although, with enough practice you'll get through it. I suggest that you use all of your time wisely for each class. My mistake was that I got too confident in thinking that I can get through the steps just because I got it one time, that when I took the quizzes I had a lot of mistakes lol.
It gets pretty stressful whenever the tests are nearing, because every next week after a week of class practice, you immediately have a test. Which is really not ideal if you have a busy schedule and heavy workload with your other subjects.
It is true that she wouldn't give a damn about your reasoning for absence, no matter how valid it is. You are still getting that cut unfortunately.
Would I not recommend her? I wouldn't really say, since my experience with her wasn't that bad. I just wish there'd be another teacher who would accommodate adjusting or non-athletic students better, because this class was really fun.:(more

Kind lola-vibe aerobics; grades high for effort
positive
Retake?Yes
4.0 attainableYes
LeniencyYes
Hii! i took aerobics for my freshie year and she was very kind and she really has the lola vibes who cares for you or yung zumba lolas.
- She grades high as long as she sees you make effort sa class.
- At first i thought it would be a boring class but it was really active! She starts with a warmup which is zumba using the aerobics bench(its given na sa room, if u dont know what it is, its like a block where you step on while dancing) and ends with a cooldown which is slight Yoga
- She gives videos sa module so you can check it, well you have to since she sometimes starts agad, pero if you dont know it you can watch her muna and then she teaches you din if you have a hard time.
- Requirements siguro, she asks you find a group and then you'll perform your own combination of steps for the Finals. I forgot the rest but I know lang na the group you will have is kind of pre assigned, it's in alphabetical order and grps of 4. So if ur the first 4 students sa class list, thats your grp na.
OVERALL GET MA'M SHE'S VERY KIND and ang fun ng class niya. Even if ur not athletic or active it's pretty easy to get talaga. A-able if you really show mam your effort!more

Wag talaga, rigid attendance and heavy PE

WorkloadHeavy
In case you haven't been scared away by the other reviews yet, here's your sign na wag talaga PROMISE wag for your own good!!
I took her online and she grades based on attendance and does not excuse you no matter the reason. Luckily she moved her deadlines later in the sem, pero the workload was still pretty heavy for a PE + suprise core workouts, hindi lang sya aerobics. Her instructions are pretty unclear and her replies come late so it's mostly you and your blockmates figuring things out in the gc. You can probably tell by the kaltas-grade-no-matter-what attendance policy, but she's pretty rigid with grading and nitpicky with the moves and steps :')
bonus anecdote: (don't know if this will matter to u, but i'll share na rin) following the 2020 elections, a class (not mine) was asking her for a sync break/deadline extension (i dont recall exactly) accounting for the post-election grief, pero she replied back saying no, which would've been fine if she hadn't tacked on na we were "too young to take politics seriously" or to "get involved" and that there was "nothing we could do" n/v... so........more

B+/A-able with maximum effort

the class is B+/A-able with maximum effort. she’s nice in the sense that she teaches her demos/combos repeatedly so that you get it BUT not the most understanding with absences (even if they are excused cuts). additionally, the workload is insane. assessments are frequent and your midterms and finals entail you to create your own combos as a group (you’ll be grouped randomly). overall, it’s a tiring class.more

hi! i took ma'am clemente's aerobics class during the second quarter last year. iirc, you have to submit a video of you following some of her steps per module (you get to choose what steps you want to do). you also have to film yourself doing the warm-ups and cool downs. for the midterms and finals, you have to craft your own combos and film them. i'd say she's A-able naman with effort (since there are lots of video outputs to submit)more

Don't take her online, workload is not worth it
positive
Retake?No
WorkloadHeavy
Leaving this for anyone planning to take her for online classes: don’t.
Aerobics was my first choice bc I thought it would be a good and fun workout, but no.
- Her workload is unreasonable. No matter how I look at it, she asks for way too much even without considering the circumstances.
- She’s really inconsiderate (case in point: she was the only prof I had that stacked two modules worth of outputs on the week after the typhoons)
- Instructions don’t make sense, and she takes an eternity to reply. When she does, her clarifications are extra labo. It’s hard to start working because you legit have no idea what she’s saying and she’s not available to contact.
All in all, just don’t get her if you don’t want a headache. It’s really not worth it.
I have four heavy majors this quarter and I swear, Aerobics is the most draining subject I have. I’m fairly athletic but even so, she’s really demanding and unreasonable.
Save yourself and your mental health in these times. Major pass.more

Nice PE 102; group step midterm and own-steps finals

she's nice! PE 102 is step aerobics. you get to do exercises on a step. midterm exam is in a group, but you have to follow the given steps. for finals, in the same group, you have to make your own steps.more

Malabo instructions, then a late grade bump to B+
mixed
Retake?No
LeniencyNo
Commenting again just to say this: she grades low if you’re not able to follow the instructions (which are rlly malabo in the first place) but after the sem ended I kept getting Canvas notifications that she was bumping up my grades. So from barely passing, I went to B+. Not worth the hassle tho.more

Ruthless about absences even with an ACL injury

Retake?No
LeniencyNo
Commenting on the perspective of someone who took this f2f and sustained an injury!
She is ruthless. She still counted my absences for my ACL INJURY as an unexcused cut even with documentation. She made consultations with her even more difficult, as in didnt feel any sort of consideration from her at all. Make-up task was to film the rest of the class' finals and submit on a CD 😊more

A-able PE, but 20-min weekly vids are tiring
positive
4.0 attainableYes
LeniencyYes
WorkloadHeavy
since the academic year is done na here’s a detailed pros and cons of taking her class
PROs
- she holds synch classes to teach you basic steps/ she uploads easy-to-follow videos
- if you’re athletic, MAYBE you’ll like the core work out. [cuz her video reqs usually have 4 phases: warm up, core work out, the dance, then cool down routine]
- she gives feedback agad and she will allow u to submit your video twice (or more) as long as hindi pa deadline
- she gives reasonable extension. i was her beadle and she’s pretty considerate naman with deadlines kasi before she told us na it’s gonna be a “weekly” video submission or at least by module but what happened in our class was she still entertained late submission
- she curves the grade and it’s v A-able naman
CONs
- 20min vids is tiring 🙂 especially the core work out. v challenging kasi she’s rlly gonna pinpoint your hand and feet position and wrong steps tapos she’s gonna deduct a point.
- sometimes her instructions are vaguemore

😣 weekly submission of vids for quarterly set-up, gonna film yourself literally every week, repeating some same steps and some additional new steps. midterms will be the all modules, then I have to create your own routine in your finals. gives chances to redo ur vids but issokay if u don't want to resubmit. quarter set-up is really tiring 4 this PE, so it's a no for me huhumore

its the way i had to reshoot a video 8 times because i wasnt getting it right (and most of the time it was vague as to what i was doing wrong) eventually after numerous takes for a lot of videos i just gave up and begged her to grade it as is. sure i got a fairly decent grade but i would never want to go through all that effort again.more

Bearable A/B+ if you practice the steps
positive
Retake?Yes
4.0 attainableYes
WorkloadMedium
speaking from onsite classes, i took her class last sem and it was pretty bearable naman. The class is A/B+ with good effort. She is really technical when it comes to steps and routines, so i recommend to practice it beforehand if you have time.
Speaking as a non-dancer but has athletic background, it was not that hard naman but it is challenging at times (lalo na with the ab workout at the end). Ma’am is very direct and straight to the point but is kind naman. When asking for help shes straight and direct. For some reason parang iba ung clock nya sakin, parang 5minutes early sya nagstastart ng class. Di ko sure pero thats just in my experience so come to class a bit earlier.
She appreciates students that help after class (ie. close lights, close fans). This might help so that she remembers you more and might even be lenient at times.
Overall, I somewhat enjoyed, but the class is bearable naman at least for my experiencemore

Unless you like doing 100+ crunches along with your dance routine and recording 20+ minute videos, stay away from aerobics and save yourself from the suffering. Otherwise it's a pretty easy A if you can deal with the pain in your coremore

A-able but super hassle to obtain it,,, i had to reshoot again and again bc sometimes I make mistakes sa steps so just imagine the frustration of going back to the top :^). then once u submit it, may makikita pa siyang mali (bc, as the others have said, super labo ng instructions) so u do it all over again :---)
i think she's nice naman, she allows resubmission of vids (naka-2 resubmit ata ako sa isang req) except for midterms/finals (i think?) and you can consult her rin after synch classes. its just tiring and it takes a lot of ur energy :((more
