Sir Jamendang is an *amazing* prof, but he has very high standards. I would say "average" writing (i.e. okay grammar and structure but nothing beyond that) will probably net you a B+ or B at best. To get an A, you really need to show depth in your writing. If you're writing about a personal experience, why did that experience affect you so deeply? If you're doing a research paper, flesh out the topic fully. It is possible to get an A under him, but you really need to show that kind of depth in your writing. If you're not that fluent in Tagalog, I'd definitely suggest getting strong groupmates, especially for the finals. That said, if you're not too worried about the grade, I'd say Sir Jamendang is a really great prof. He teaches you language concepts in a way that is clear and easy to understand, and he really knows how to ask you questions about your writing that will push you to think harder about whatever topic you're writing about. He recognizes that not everyone is fluent in Tagalog, so it's okay to speak in Taglish when you recite - he never laughs at or shames people for that kind of thing. I think he gives bonus activities (reaction papers to plays, typical in the Filipino department). He may give "surprise" quizzes, but only when the class breaks one of his rules - just go over the syllabus for reference (cardinal rule: no gadget notifications in his class). He's not an easy A by any means, even if you're good at Tagalog, but he's easily one of the best profs I've had in Ateneo. You're in great hands, good luck!more

i have a tip and it's to get used to not saying or using "ay" in essays because he HATES it. he's actually a super good prof! he was funny, not boring, and you'll learn a lot. in my experience kahit you don't read all of the readings just make sure you know the gist of it to be able to participate in class if he asks you to. final project was super fun to do also!more
