Okay tbh I had him for QMT 11 and I don’t HATE him I just slightly dislike him Cos he’s actually rlly nice sometimes!!
- He literally teaches to the whiteboard the whole time, super soft voice and he’s in his own world when he teaches
- doesn’t usually use powerpoints but his discussion is straight from the book anyway. I usually had to study the book myself instead of listening to his class (I honestly barely did)
- for our class, LTs weren’t departmental so they were 2 days. So basically on the first day u see all the questions na and u can go home and answer them by yourself or google or with your classmates para you’re ready for the second day! (Can’t bring home questionnaire tho)
- we had index card cheat sheet for LT 1 but for LT 2 he felt bad so made it back to back A4 na lang lol tbh for tests just make sure u have a really good cheat sheet
- didn’t have enough time for LT 3 so it was online and group work
- our “final defense” day was suspended so we just sent him our PPT and tapos na HAHAHA also the project was super chill. He moves deadlines if you ask him to (so ask him every time HAHA jk)
Tbh I really don’t remember learning anything AT ALL from his class and I’m worried if I need to know the concepts for my incoming classes, but overall pretty chill prof and I survived anyway. B with minimal effort, and B+/A with normal effort tbh
But again this was the “easier” QMT class so I guess everything turned out different because tests & projects weren’t departmental or heavy. Hope this helps!more

Nice but confusing teaching, vague feedback, never grades too low

CourseQUANT 121
Took Denzon last sem for QUANT 121 (Applied Statistical Modelling)
Sir Denzon is really nice and compassionate but I personally found his teaching style difficult to understand. Sometimes I would find myself better off studying material from the internet or from other professors teaching the same subject. Furthermore, his grading rubric is very confusing and he would leave vague feedback from which you won't be able to learn much out of. For our orals he mentioned that he was looking for an answer that was not even implied in the question. It's difficult to determine exactly what his grading standards are but he never grades too low.
During lectures, I think there is a lot of time wasted as he takes a lot of time writing out problems which could be done a lot faster if he uses powerpoints to help facilitate his discussions.
I also found his Canvas modules very confusing to go through. Some modules were fine and easy to go through, the flow made sense and they were designed well. However, some were pretty hard to go through and I just resorted to using other material online.
A plus side though is that he's very helpful with consultations and this is where I would say his feedback is valuable. For group project purposes, just consult with him a lot as he has way more feedback here to give than after he grades your passes.
tl;dr: not a bad prof but if there are other options definitely take them if you canmore

Lenient and lighter reqs, but synchs are hard to sit through

LeniencyYes
WorkloadLight
Had him for quant 121 and ehhhh
he’s very lenient and understanding naman because he’s open to extending deadlines with a valid reason and his reqs weren’t as heavy as the other stat profs but in terms of teaching, he had a lot of synchronous sessions that were hard to pay attention to if not in 2x speed (sorry shjagsja) you really have to have the effort to learn in his class yun na lang! imo he could’ve lessened the amount of synchs pero di naman required to attend!
he had assessment tests that were sort of difficult, time-pressuring, and some were more focused on excel skills for filtering data HAHAHA jk 1/2. He also had group orals (pero graded individually?!) and ik some ppl got rlly low there so make sure to rlly prep for that or pray u get the easy thesis statement haha he’s also very open to consultations so that ure more guided w the proj! he likes it when groups are effort/bibo and he even told me na he grades only after seeing everyone present to see if the bar was raised or smth
tldr: A-able naman but not rlly a fun/engaging class or baka di ko lang trip stat HAHAHA

hii we had him for QUANT 30 so it might be different but for our long tests it was okay naman. Standards were achievable, A-able for sure. It helped that he would take the time in class to walk us through examples. He also sent us books where we could get practice questions
Workload was manageable.more

(2)!! Sir is really nice and understanding. He went abroad midway thru the sem so we kind of had to move at a fast pace, but he reduced the scope/guidelines of our finals to make up for this. It was super helpful na he gave us books w/ all the practice questions + his PPTs. One of the more manageable classes I had that sem, tests are manageable just review the problems Sir gives in class + his slides. He’s also super open to questions during classmore

F2F was a pass; messy, self-study class
negative
Retake?No
dont know about online but nung F2F it was a pass hahaha he teaches u like ur all elementary students and medj magulo. He hated when u ask questions and it was NOT engaging at all. More of self study class tbh but props to him bc when the lockdown happened he actually made vids of himself teaching all the lessons so we can prepare na so there’s that

lol zzzzz
Denzon just started teaching last sem, and honestly I really didn't like the way he taught Stat. The things he taught were often not tested in the departmental exams, and his students never knew what to expect in the tests either. We had to constantly consult students from the other class just so we know what to study and to ask for other reference/study materials. It was also hard for me to listen in class - the way he taught wasn't engaging and it was difficult to give my full attention during the entire three hours:--( it was so easy to get lost pa because there are so many formulas that are dependent on each other so if ur confused w d first step its rly over lol stat was rly a nightmare but I heard that if you consult with him, he's generally nice naman and could help you understand the topics better. But overall I recommend studying in groups and asking other classes for help especially if tests are departmental!more
