Sweet and lenient, essays and grammar decide you
mixed
Beadled for her. She’s from SHS iirc and she’s really sweet. I think among many profs, she is generally a kind prof and she is concerned with you guys, she asks about absent people and is pretty lenient with them, they get extended ddls from what I remember. If you get her during the rainy season, strong rains can cancel the class outright. Based from experience she has never conducted online classes, only consultations with your works. That said, she does record attendance. As for academics…tbh she’s not that bad. Her most heavy workload would be the essays, and you can see and tell her expertise in grammar and language rules. This can be both easy to ace and fail at the same time. A huge part of your grade relies on good grammar, sentence structure and flow of ideas. Outside of that, technically she’s an easy a? I agree with the other comment though, her lectures tend to be on the boring side. That said, she is a hard prof to communicate. I would generally recommend you go to the English Department, it takes a while for her to react, it might be near your deadlines too. The best way to communicate with her is directly. But even then, she has the tendency to change her mind in between meetings: online activities might become onsite, word limits are extended, etc. You have to bear with her and stick with what was written on canvas. This can be the most frustrating thing you will encounter as you may be done with one activity only to find out she changed the requirements when she posts it on canvas. To be honest if she didnt have that problem, she’d be a perfectly fine prof to recommend. But if you have her na, I’d just suggest you to prepare for the miscommunication.more

Nice but boring lectures and messy assessments

ok but in all seriousness: shes nice, okay. but i dislike how she teaches: she has superrrr boring discussions and its added by the fact that shes always sat down in terms of assessments, i REALLY dislike how she does things. for example; we had to write an essay in class for our midterm on a yellow pad but weren't warned of the hps of said midterm. and mind you, IT WAS ONLY SUPPOSED TO BE A DRAFT. i don't get why she doesn't grade it when its done and finished. and after that, we had to submit it DIGITALLY — meaning we had to type out all the things we wrote on the yellow pad which is a tedious task. pissed me off so bad on top of that, we're currently working on our final project: a tedtalk presentation style and when we ask questions, she takes AGES to respond. she only responded when the deadline is for the next DAY! although she grades well (B+ to A-able based on our assessments so far), it really doesn't feel worth the stress i've experienced for this class. she never dismisses early — we have classes @ faura after and had to walk within the 10 minute grace period — and rarely goes asynchronous or online (only due to suspensions) unless you try to convince her (in our case, it was difficulty going to bellarmine due to rain) i'd advice you to mentally prepare yourself for the shit ure gonna go through 😭 (this is also added to the fact that our class was in bellarmine @ 12:30 to 2 in the afternoon. peak heat hours.)more

Nicest prof, considerate with deadlines

I have her for ENLIT. generally speaking, she is one of the nicest profs! she cares so much for her students and she's very very considerate when it comes to deadlines. contrary to what the other comments say, she responds fast to our inquiries. we would often ask to switch to asynchronous classes or extension of deadlines, and she would reply fast and gladly consider our request. we get a bit bored during her lectures but it might be because she's our last class. however, she would always try her best to engage with her class by asking questions and doing pair/group activities. whenever you recite, she would always make it seem like your answer is valid (even if your answer is a bit far from the question). workload is bearable and understandable considering that the subject is ENLIT. overall, I would recommend her especially because I've heard many not so good reviews about other enlit profs (just not sure about engl!!)more

Sweet and caring but strict on readings and deadlines
mixed
Hello! Ma’am Maal (our nickname for her) was my friend’s and my teacher back in SHS (it’s her first year as a prof in ADMU). She may have changed her ways, but we hope this helps. 1. She’s really sweet and caring but has a strict side. 2. She has a strict submission time frame and also very not picky when it comes to public speaking 3. She’s very big on advance readings and modules but her assignments were typically really simple as long as you did read the materials 4. She’s more hands on in on site classes, focusing more on mastery of skills rather than pushing for a general understanding approachmore

Nice, lets you resubmit; kinda boring
positive
- Retake?Yes
- LeniencyYes
shes just okay! shes nice and considerate when it comes to u submitting smth wrong and she’ll extend her graces basically let u resubmit again or give u enough time to fix it! (submitted smth completely diff from what she asked for and she gave me a day to fix it! she waited for my submission and didnt give me a minus) kinda boring, but i’d take that any day. will set deadlines on holidays tho 😂 if u ask for an extension of a 5pm deadline on a holiday, she’ll extend it to 11:59 of the sane day HAHAHAHAmore

beadling for her rn. maybe she doesnt like her other classes because for mine, everyone loves her. sure, her lectures are quite boring cos she just sits there and talks. butttt she grades VERY HIGH. more than half of my block have A’s on canvass rn, while the rest have atleast a B+. personality wise, very motherly and every time we ask for an extension she does not hesitate to grant it. again, my only con lng is that her lectures are very easy to sleep thru. nonetheless, very very easy A. probably one of the easiest classes i’ve taken my whole life.more
