Fair once he warms up, actually teaches

Hi! The semester just ended so here's my review for Sir Joey. Around the first six weeks, he paced his lessons right, but he had a somewhat... arrogant tone when teaching, especially if someone couldn't answer his questions immediately. There were a few times when he would just stare (like seriously look straight through the soul) at a student for a minute or two silently waiting for a correct answer. After that, though, he became more approachable and nicer overall to our block. In my opinion, he's a fair professor and it wasn't difficult to get along with him. He was actually teaching us, and we actually came out of discussions having learned something. He's also responsive when contacted online and it's easy to set a consultation whenever needed. We (our block) definitely didn't struggle with scheduling meetings for our individual groups during our final project. Quizzes also weren't difficult. Literally only needed to study the reading material and anything he taught. He was also lenient with one of our quizzes because the suspensions messed up our schedule. We ended up taking the test with less topics covered and it only included what he was able to discuss in class. He also didn't mind giving out online quizzes to follow the schedule in the syllabus when suspensions changed the learning modality to online. Definitely A-able as long as you prepare for class and tests. TLDR: Sir Joey's a good, fair, and approachable professor. He was kinda arrogant during the first few weeks but changed in the middle of the semester into a nicer and more approachable teacher. I can't speak for everyone who took him for MATH 10, but our block was pretty chill with him. Surely A-able as long as you study what was taught. Might need to get on his good side, though.more

Run, he doesn’t really teach

- CourseMATH 30.14
- Retake?No
- WorkloadHeavy
Had him for Math 30.14 and i would say run if u could. He basically didn’t teach us anything and just solved the practice exercises during class at lightning speed. No breakdown of concepts and just expects u to know the content despite not posting any material in advance (he’d post it around 2 hrs before class which i wouldn’t say is ample time to understand it since i have a class before him). As someone who isn’t proficient in calc, i had to rely on my tutor to BARELY pass. He truly expects u to make time for calc and prioritize it above all else. The only good things about him is that he’s lenient with switching modalities, moving lt dates, and his practice exercises do resemble the actual lt.more

Run, lightning pace, no curve, barely passed

- CourseMATH 30.14
- Retake?No
- LeniencyNo
I had him for Math 30.14, and honestly? Run. He teaches at a lightning pace, and expects you to already understands most concepts. Yes, his jokes and reactions land, but honestly I would have preferred had the lessons been more than just answering practice problems. I needed more time and depth, along with patience as he makes difficult problems. Additionally, he’s also not lenient with grading, and flat out says that there isn’t a curve or bonus/make-up assessments. I had to rely on my tutor, and even then I barely passed. If you’re only missing 5 or so points from the course’s passing grade, he’ll probably give leeway (that’s what he did with me), but overall? Would not recommend.more

Hii!

Hii! His class is mostly self-study. He explains the lessons so quickly that you barely have time to process them, let alone ask questions. imo, his presentations aren't very helpful either, the examples don't even come with answer keys. For group works, try to get good groupmates or at least people who understand the lesson because that makes a big difference. His regular tasks are pretty easy, but the final requirement can be a bit challenging. As for the tests, they're fairly easy if you actually study. He grades fairly and even curves grades depending on the class’ performance. Overall, if you have the chance, I'd recommend choosing a different prof.more

Exam examples come from them; don't rely on class discussion
negative
No goodluck, but some advice for this prof whatever examples they give and teach will show up in exam, don't expect to get the lessons from class discussion, utilize chat gpt YouTube videos whatever to understand the lesson.more

HELL NAH, even begging while on your knees w/ crying (first hand experience ) will not work on them. Even a sad story for MMK/ America’s got talent, prof will also not round up. If the final grade is not 50%, they will give you an F. The prof will only tell you this “Practice”more

Loadrev or withdraw, worst prof
negative
- Retake?No
No. If you can loadrev, go. If not, best option is to withdraw. Worst prof in ateneo imo.

honestly not even that bad. his quizzes usually align with what he discusses and is pretty doable within the given time limit. the essay quizzes we also had with him aligned well with the readings he assigned and what's in canvas.more
