Brace yourself: manageable reqs, lots of groupwork

hello! had her for AY2324, second sem i think there are many reviews for ma'am mida which you can find here! anyway, i'm not sure lang if her requirements / syllabus changes depending on your course / school, so do take this with a grain of salt 😅 short answer: brace yourself 🤣 *requirements are manageable *requires students to answer DBs and practice sets in the Canvas modules (part of the grade) *(permanent) groupmates are based on seating arrangement *gives a lot of groupwork and peer assessment along with it *conducts a quiz / LT at the end of each module (all in all, 5); first was essay-type, the rest were objective *no midterms / finals; final requirement was a data management plan (may weekly progress reports din) *holds asynch sessions sometimes *sends a calendar that includes deadlines + what will be conducted on scheduled sessions *grading is based on overall points, not percentage *does not allow using gadgets for whatever reason you use it for *teaching style is not the best; you have to match her pacing which becomes demotivating at times if u really want to learn (ang bilis niya magturo lol) *don't try to take notes from the slides bcos ur most likely only going to write the title and the first few words HAHAHA however she does send / attach the slides naman sa canvas *better to listen than to take notes; siguro copy the examples so you have a reference of the solving process *LTs / quizzes are... quite the experience 💀 bcos you leave the room feeling either a) defeated b) relieved c) triumphant d) like you wanna break down or e) all of the above LMAO so review well malala *rarely gives bonus points; minsan magugulat ka na lang that she does (for ours ata she based it on perfect attendance of the class or smth i forgot) *as per what my friends say, "Real manifestation of mixed emotions" HELP agree tbh *since you cannot choose your groupmates, nudge whoever you're grouped with well for the final project HAHAHAHA it's gonna be draining bcos it's mostly sariling sikap sa paggawa non; i think pwede namang mag consult with ma'am for it though *practice, practice, practice! cannot emphasize this enough bcos without it, nganga ka sa LT / quiz kung wala kang extensive review on each module *mag recite / participate! she appreciates having student who are attentive and willing which translates din sa grade afaik *lastly, trust the curve 😌🙂‍↕️😌🙂‍↕️😌 overall, keri naman kay ma'am mida, but it takes a lot of effort as well to get high marks! good luck and all the best,!more

Sweet, flipped MATH10, come prepared or get lost

MAAM MIDA BREAKDOWN FOR FAWKIN MATH10 a. Personality - maam mida is the fawkin sweetest person ever. unlimited patience and she will always try her best to make you understand the concept so ask ask ask. she doesnt reply at all or she replies super late so if you have any questions its better to list them down HAHA. okay noww... 1. teaching style - flipped classroom! this means that you will teach yourself most of the concepts before class. from this, ALWAYS. COME. PREPARED. or else you'll get lost mid-lesson 2. personal academic attainment - coming from a private high school, i had a hardass time developing systems of understanding for this subject. im not sure if it's the nature of the subject itself or maam mida's teaching style but i found it realllyyy hard. however, my classmates from scihigh/regsci/nationalhigh found it enjoyable. use this to ur advantage as asking help from them rlly helped me! theyre the nicest people 3. outputs - for quizzes, she only gave the first test back. she rarely gives out any scores from your outputs so you cant gauge how ur doing in her class. i think she likes quality over quantity so be creative in doing your outputs (them considting of videos/essays/solutions) 4. final project - the final project will be ur biggest W in her subj. i cant strsss enough how much you need to do good in this cs this will save you esp if youre doing so bad. it requires much thought so make sure everything is logical. this literally saved my grade which leads me toooo 5. grading system - i kinda forgot how she computes her grades BUT she curves A LOT. i feel like i failed all her five quizzes and got an advisory grade of C. however, she gave me a B+ in the end. JUST DO UR BEST AND MAKE SURE SHE SEES IT. consult after class always cause shes kind enough to do that and i, thank umore

Motherlike but unresponsive, not a prof I'd like

mixed
  • Retake?No
can’t spell mida without mid jokes aside, i’ve had her last term (my freshie year, first term). and i’ve read a lot of reviews on her back then, and i can say nothing much has changed from 2017 up till now. she’s a great person, very motherlike, but not somebody i’d really like as a prof. if i were to take her class again, here are the things i would do: 1. ASK FOR FEEDBACK IN CLASS - she’s VERY unresponsive (not an exaggeration), there were many instances wherein our beadle had to kulit her so many times to just get a single response. she doesn’t give test papers back on time, she doesn’t give feedback for anything AT ALL. if you’re unsure about something, ask about it in class. better if there are people to ask with you. 2. DRINK COFFEE BEFORE CLASS - or just consume anything that will make you stay awake. i haven’t heard of anyone who hasn’t felt at least a bit sleepy from her class. her voice is so soothing, it’ll make you fall asleep. i did this much later in the term, and i do regret not doing it earlier. 3. DON’T TAKE NOTES IN CLASS - this sounds crazy, but yes do not take notes in her class. sayang paper and sayang effort. she goes through her slides SO FAST, by the time the lesson ends, you wouldn’t understand what you’ve written. i would just copy sample problems she would do, and write down names of concepts i can research on later. i would say more haha, if you have any questions, i’m always a dm away. she’s not impossible, and she curves. good luck! i know you can do it. 🤍🤍more

Listen, don't copy, she uploads the slides

neutral
not ur classmate (baka diff sched) but agree on listening rather than taking notes! she goes through each slide quickly so you won't be able to finish copying T__T most of the time, she just uploads the powerpoint in the canvas so just use that as reference <33 same rin for the LTs + short quizzes hahaha good luck nalang napaiyak ako sa lahat pero pasado naman #slight #kumapitsacurvemore

Pace is so fast you just cling to the curve

neutral
kainis ka HAHAHAHA pero op, i agree sa mga sinabi ni! i want to add lang na during lectures, she would give us 'practice exercises' to try kaso her pace is so fast na you'll only get to copy the question and siya na sasagot for the class 🙂 talagang kinapitan namin ay yung curve 😅 best of luck, op!more

She always makes time for questions after lecture

positive
OH YAHHHH what mentioned din pala! at the end of lecture sessions, ma'am allots time to entertain questions and/or concerns! be it the lesson, a clarification, or a deliverable, she addresses most, if not all, or as much as she is able to ^^ she's rarely available to consult onsite, but does allow online consultations!more

easier to follow along after skimming the new lesson before class

neutral
RE-YALLL HUHU ++ to add to what said, personally i found it easier to follow along synch sessions after skimming the new lesson before class! so if you ever have free time i would suggest going over the slides so that you can follow the practice exercises better hihi 🤙 also kahit di mo gets yung exercises in class, just keep trying because its better than giving up and doing nothing kase you can raise your concerns rin naman during the consultation period after class‼️more

Take her to pass; pick someone else to learn

mixed
  • WorkloadHeavy
tinatawanan mo bawat buntong hininga na nilalabas ko tuwing nagnonotes at nagsosolve😞🫵‼️ anyway another tip siguro is pakita mong nag-eeffort ka kase napapansin niya yung mga genuine na may pake. she also gives a lot of dbs pangbawi sa mababang lt grades. strict siya sa deadlines pero she gives reasonable time naman kahit heavy yung workload. bottomline: if u care more sa actual learning, u might be better off with another prof. but if u just wanna pass, take her! let the curve do its work😂more

it’s just a small percentage of your grade and she also curves. I still got an A even though I wasn’t able to submit one paper :))

Nice, but lectures don't help and grades come late

mixed

she’s nice nmn, but her classes are a snoozefest (lectures don’t really help w the quizzes) + she gives back grades so slowly/not at all.
