Sir Fuentes for SocSc 12 has been super 🔥🎉! We had 6 modules and each module had 4 reqs and then one meeting per module lecture / week. Okay it may sound a lot but it’s all doable! The 4 reqs it’s creation of a meme, do a part of the final research paper (by group), short essay of sort, and discussion board. It’s all doable cause it has ~500 word limit for essays and then for memes it’s really fun to make. The research it’s by group naamn. For the weekly meetings, it’s a lecture and sir is very active naman in teaching and he’s really an expert in his field! It’s not boring boring cause he integrates anthropology + sociology together and you would have breakout sessions to watch a video together and reflect and then share the group’s answer to the class. Module wise, it’s very short and straight to the point but a lot of videos (some are short some are like 1-1.5 hr long that I would fall asleep to the Youtube lecturer - sorry Sir lecturer 😭). Sir is also very understanding and super open and kind! While he’s not strict naman with deadlines, try to keep up with his pattern of (lecture - study - do the work), v kaya and this is coming from someone who crams really bad mga 11:59PM submissions raket ko😭. Grading wise, parang sir has this standard base from the mean median mode that I saw sa canvas - if he’s really impressed high A 98/99 , If yung middle ish lang B+ to a low A 89-92 ganun, but then If sir is kinda uhhh to the work 85 but May mga 82 ako nakita minsan. Sir is generous naman with grading so exert a bit of effort - super worth it promise! Listen to his lectures in class kayang kaya! more

Easy B+ but grade boundary for an A is 95%. Constantly grades in the low 90's unless you make a stupid mistake on any of the (rather easy) requirements. You have to really give him what he wants to get graded very high. Rather hard to crack 95+ on any reqs, but the final paper is quite heavy (5k word research paper + its grpwork) Sir is very considerate, and no complaints regarding him. Subject is quite low maintenance up until finals. Finals are quite heavy with the aforementioned paper, infograph regarding the results of your research, and 2pg refl. paper. Would recommend namanmore

took him when it was his first class teaching in admu so not sure if he’s changed his style! reqs are both group and individual but very manageable, pretty generous with grades as long as all the content he asks for is there, super kind & considerate for students needs etc like v willing to adjust deadlines, we had no quizzes or exams just papers readings & discussions could get boring if ure not into the topic, but was super A-able since he also gave bonus pts at the end for us. honestly really nice guy, super respect him u can see his interest/ passion for the subjmore

solid prof but i think he asks for too much reqs 6 modules each with an indiv essay then per module you have a group work to do then for modules 1-3 reflection paper and another one for modules 4-6 then as a group you have to make an infographic and final paper easy B plus or A if masipag he grades nice tho kahit super dami reqsssmore

he’s A-able just do well in quizzes! We had two 30 point quizzes and they were objective multiple choice so mostly memorization. I thought i was gonna get a B+ since his A is a 97 but i ended up getting an Amore
