Reqs not in the syllabus and surprise quizzes
- Retake?No
- LeniencyNo
- WorkloadHeavy
Had her last sem onsite so here's an honest review. A classmate of mine took this class because they already took a class under Dr. Guevarra and it was a good experience daw. They were surprised as the semester unfolded. I also tried to be very understanding with her but you can only do so much. Most of her requirements were not in the syllabus. The deadlines of these requirements were on Canvas but they were often due the next day at the same time slot as your class. The class presentations were very time consuming and didn't give much room for creativity as all groups had to do the same presentations. She would often have these surprise quizzes where she hadn't even discussed the modules. These quizzes were very, very specific too. Workload was indeed moderate to heavy. Prof-wise, she's very passive-aggressive. I'm certain she's great at her job but in my experience, she didn't teach much as I expected, as per previous reviews. Also, she forgets easily so if you told her something last week, expect her to forget and not give you any consideration unless you provide proof and/or really explain. However, she is quite understanding ~sometimes~. You just really have to take your time in communicating to her. If you become her student, try to be as patient as you possibly can.🙏 Grade-wise, B+/A -able. Recite often to get brownie points. But mental health wise,,,, I wouldn't say it's worth it. P.S. to future students be wary of other students because they took screenshots of the comments under this post and showed it to her. She was very upset with the reviews and took it out on our class. Honestly don't know how to feel about that. I'm just glad the sem is over.more

Motherly, easy workload, and you want to recit
positive

I had her online and she was one of my favorites ever!! One of the only online classes I ever loomed forward to. She gives readings meant to be read before class but even if you don't read it, you can still contribute to the discussion. She always had us go out in breakout rooms then so I imagine in the onsite setting she would have you in small groups to discuss the lecture or videos she'll show to the class. She was sooo motherly vibes and I loved the validation she gave to everyone who recited HAHAHA so cute i love her you would want to recite in her class bc she accepts all answers and builds on them. Workload was suuuuper easy and most of them were groupworks I think. Only downside is that she never gave back any scores, but I got a good grade in her class so I think she's pretty considerate with grades. Take her if you want a chill class that you can still learn from!more

Don't get her, pop quizzes and a moderate-heavy load
- Retake?No
- LeniencyNo
- WorkloadHeavy
ONSITE UPDATE: NOPE! don’t get her. load rev out of her class if you can. save yourself. lahat ata nabudol sa reviews haha. all objective quizzes were unannounced 😐. does not even teach that well. minsan nagpapa-quiz kahit di naman ganong tinuro yung module haha. minsan malabo instructions. hard to reach. does not give feedback. shes like that teacher in highschool who masks passive-aggressiveness with “humor” lollll. madalas din magpa-present sa class. moderate-heavy workload. ang ok lang i guess is not super high standards? ayon lng lol pero not worth it cuz the class isn’t even fulfilling :// get out if u can.more

Considerate and A-able, but no released scores
positive
- Retake?Yes
- 4.0 attainableYes
Had her last semester. She’s very considerate with her students and can be really into it during lectures. She takes attendance every session. The only problem is that most of our latter sessions were asynchronous because of the heat index (BEL classroom also). However, we don’t know our standing because she doesn’t release any of our scores for the assessments. But still A-able! Honor the deadlines and pick good groupmates.more

Super memorable, only class I liked that sem
positive
- Retake?Yes
- WorkloadLight
She's great!! Super memorable. She likes to use a lot of pop culture references which makes the class interesting and engaging. I remember we were required to watch Shrek and listen to iirc a One Direction or Taylor Swift song. This was the only class I liked that sem. I honestly learned so much. Workload was manageable and I remember getting a good grade from her! You're in good hands.more

easy A with minimal effort. i was her beadle and sometimes she’s a bit disorganized with lesson plans and modules but easily resolvable. constant communication is key. she is very flexible with deadline and class modality. get good groupmates because there are a lot of group outputs. recite a lot as well and whenever there are bonus activities do them! nakakabawi siya ng gradesmore

i took her last sem - recite a lot and be friendly with her! lowkey i tried to be teacher's pet in her class hahha i think it helped cause when she'd be sarcastic i wouldn't feel hit by it, anyways she only gets snarky abt people not reciting or not submitting on time. agree na pretty easy A siya, barely any quizzes iirc! and yes get good groupmates!!more

I had her for ENLIT 12! She’s very motherly and considerate of her students, so she’d (hopefully) be more gracious with ENE. Easy A as long as you follow her instructions!more
