Prepared, passionate, group work made it easier

positive

We had him last AY second sem so i can't say anything how he gives final grades for the whole semester cause it was an auto-pass sem. But with the short time he was our prof, i can say he teaches well. He is always prepared for his classes and brought some props during his lectures. He is really passionate with what he is teaching. We had seatworks and did it by group so it's a lot more fun and easy unlike if you did it individually. The lt was answered individually and his questions are quite challenging. It requires you to understand the lessons well. We had probsets, around 4 questions i think and we answered it with our groupmates. This was our set up during the on-site classes. During the brief period we conducted the online classes, he will send recorded videos of his ppt lectures with his voice teaching the lessons. Most of the lessons are ~1 hr since it is computation-heavy. I can say that his recorded videos are easy to understand and he teaches the lessons well despite having it in an online set-up. For the lts, we didn't have the lts anymore, but he gave us problem sets instead (similar to what we had during the onsite classes) and the probsets will serve as our lt. Prob sets were still by group so it was easier and more fun to do. Tho i am not sure if you will have the similar set-up with what we have. As for grading our lts, he will give you what you deserve. I say you should study well if you want high grades for your lts. For final grading, i can't really say anything because it was an auto-pass sem 😂 In general, sir IKD is a great teacher. He is willing to extend his help for his students and very passionate with what he is teaching. He is easy to approach and is very nice to his students! Sir ikd is love ❤️more

organized in-depth lectures, surprise quizzes, hard exams

positive

lecture/teaching style - very organized - has ppts which are important and he provided them naman to us - the bulk of lectures are usually when he's really speaking. so i advise to take notes on the ppts / on a separate ntbk para you have the context and the meat of the topic talaga - he discusses really well and very in depth. if u have questioned don't hesitate to ask! super open to questions and quick consultations after class - would encourage doing the homework he asks you to do but not for submission. kasi minsan di na niya dinidiscuss if walang question tests - most of our quizzes were surprise ones sa start ng class. some were announced. just always come to class prepared. - long exams always announced naman. these are quite challenging - he often employed more application type questions or practical questions - would recommend understanding the topic rather than just pure memorizing. but since u guys are genchem i think there's still a certain degree of memorization expected - many application come out as examples during class discussions so pay attention talaga in class. not exactly the same but usually similar and then the tests just have an extra question na medj diff or new for me kasi, he taught quality assurance which in itself is a really really hard course imo. which made the tests a lot harder pa grades - medj late feedback for some long exams but he discusses it naman in class if everyone has taken it na reachability - medj hard kapag email. he does a lot of things kasi so minsan di siya agad nagrereply - i would suggest making use of his consultation hrs ! overall, ur in v v v good hands! def A-ble with the right amt of effortmore

Great lecturer, long videos, you'll be lucky

positive

Retake?Yes

Great lecturer and very understanding!!!! He’s been in the industry for a very long time so he really knows his stuff and can give good concrete examples for abstract concepts. As many have mentioned, videos he uploads can be really long. It’s not really his fault; it’s more of the nature of the subject matter talaga. But sir really does his best to make things digestible and tries to include discussions and even online demonstrations to further your education. Overall, a really good prof and youll be lucky to have him!more

Application-based lectures, grades fairly

Really great lectures, both in person and in his online videos! Expect the class to be really application based, so you need to be able to understand the lessons thoroughly, and know how to apply them for different situations for your long tests/probsets. He's also super understanding, and grades fairly. Overall great prof! more

Great lecturer, but online videos are too long

positive

Retake?Yes

Great lecturer, although my qualm lang with his online videos is that they're too long and difficult to digest (like, as a lecture it's fine. but as an online video, it's just too much). So if his videos still get too long, I suggest finding a logical break in his videos and taking a break rather than doing the entire video in one go. But he's really nice, understanding, and approachable :)more
