Sir Noel is THE GOAT

Sir Noel is super organized and his workload is very manageable! The modules are balanced well and his requirements are not heavy. A-able also! Definitely recommend getting him

hi! bump for Figueroa, Diane Faith :>

positive

Matthew Phillip Adriano just to add! her deadlines were very vague in the syllabus (i.e. week x instead of actual dates) so anticipating due dates was difficult, and sometimes the deadlines would be announced in class and not disclaimed in the submission page for discussion boards in particular. agree tho that she’s very nice and considerate n the reqs are manageable! pero ye, she won’t rlly change ur life :”3more

i just talk to him in the department sometimes so this is a completely different view of him it seems to me, that he can lecture well, especially from past reviews and the fact he can actually speak well and say something always insightful upon prompt he’s extremely nice, open to questions, and is extremely knowledgeable, especially in theory. During our conversations it he made it clear that he does care ALOT about his lecture quality, and being a good teacher. He emphasized coming to class prepared, and that as a lecturer he must then appeal to all the students as his “audience.” still take this with a grain of salt! but I seriously doubt he is nothing short of a good or even great profmore

positiveECON 112

Had him for ECON 112 online this recent intersession! He’s a really nice and understanding prof, grades high, and returns assignments promptly and with feedback 😊. He has weekly synch classes and he likes to make jokes so if you take this class I hope you on cam to react to him 🥺 parang he’s too nice to keep asking his students to on cam HAVDHAHS Cons for me is that he can be a little fast when discussing synchronously (but he posts recordings right after class so you can rewatch!) & he’s also quite old and doesn’t keep up with the news daw HAHA so he doesn’t provide much contemporary/pop culture examples to aid the discussion (but not a big deal if this doesn’t matter to you!) Overall recommend! 😁more

positiveNSTP 12

TLDR: Kind, understanding, A-able prof! Not a lot of reqs too. You MAY be disappointed nga lang if you expect to have life-changing learnings/experiences 😬 - Hi! Took Figueroa this sem....and honestly kind of underwhelmed LOL. I mean to be fair, she really is a kind prof! She's considerate with deadlines, understanding towards extensions, and grades high. As compared to the other SocSci13 classes, she actually had less major requirements, so if you don't want to be too stressed for the sem, take her. IIRC, she just asked for an individual paper (midterm req i believe), 3 graded DBs (one was a 2 min video tho), a final group paper (paired with NSTP 12), and a mala-entrep minor assignment/project. Most of the reqs are like latter half of the sem na, so if you want to not worry too much at the start, then she's the prof you'd want 👉 My main concern lang with her (at least just for me) is I didn't really...learn a lot from class 🫤 Like you'll appreciate the lessons siguro, but I personally never fully connected with them, esp during sync seshes. She would have a few surprise breakout room activities and grp presentations and even with that parang di ata siya nakatulong sa learning ko 🥲 Another concern would be that the minor assignment would literally require you to make a group business plan but for a potential social enterprise. In hindsight, I suppose it's kinda relevant naman to the course, but our group literally had just a few weeks to prepare. And many of the business plan details (e.g., sales and projections) were things she didn't even teach auhshs parang hindi socsci13 vibes but more of entrep hahu But again, please take this review with a grain of salt! this is just based on my experience hehe @those who took her, pls feel free to agree/disagree!!more
