Paper-heavy PM, random groups, not as scary as the reviews

CourseDEV 107
WorkloadHeavy

Had her for DEV 107 Project ManagementAt first I was scared because of the reviews that I got from friends that had her then, but it wasn't as scary at all. This might not apply to other subjects, but in PM it was basically paper-heavy. There were no discussion boards, no quizzes/tests, no class participation (pero parang hidden charge kumbaga kasi she tracks people who recite sa synch sessions HAHA). The subject was paper-heavy since we had to make a project proposal tapos by group siya. What she does is she groups people randomly and assigns a leader randomly (as well the beadle so surprise na lang kayo HAHA). The final paper (project proposal in this case) was divided into smaller paper sections that was done individually or by pair (depending on the section). This is where she'll get the individual grades.For her synch sessions, we have it once a week pero three hours siya. She really maximizes the three hours talaga and divides it accordingly pero madalas hindi nasusunod schedule. Usually there's an hour or so for lecture, another hour or so for doing the required task, and another hour or so for a forum discussion. That's what usually the sessions involve, pero it depends on the session. Regardless, magagamit yung 3 hours HAHAFor her Canvas, it's not the most organized, but it's still being utilized compared to other profs who don't. May laman naman, pero not as comprehensive or kung anuman. You'll usually have a recorded lecture, the PPT used, a transcript of the lecture, and other resources. So bale what she asks is you to review the module before the synch session, where she'll discuss lang again and answer any questions. Make sure to ask a lot kasi she wants interaction!She grades okay naman, pero to my standards medj mababa chz HAHA average is like B+ to B, kasi around 40+ out of 50 naman yung scores usually, hindi bumababa ng 40. She doesn't curve (I think), but she rounds off naman. If she sees you participating well and giving effort naman, basta pabibo, she'll remember you (hopefully positively) and that'll reflect sa grade! I don't want to say easy A, pero it's kaya with effort, and not the very hard effort pero yung normal na kayod HAHA Overall, I might have struggled for a little bit, pero it paid off in the end (kasi A HAHAHA yun naman talaga gusto natin chz). I also love her so much as a prof kahit minsan dragging or boring siya, pero she's really motherly! She really looks after the class and makes sure that everyone understand the lessons. She also wants to take care of the mental health of the class and would not hesitate to move deadlines or to take breaks. While it wasn't the most engaging class (tapos 6-9PM pa siya HAHA), ma'am made it bearable and manageable!If you have any more questions or concerns, feel free to PM me HAHAmore

Credentials, passion, and motherly but you still learn

LeniencyYes

Hello! Recently had Dr.Librea for DEV 181.4i in the online setting (intersession) and for a quick feedback, she has credentials that will floor you, passion in her teaching that will legit make you want to go to Dev study, compassion that just wants to make you hug her for being so understanding and motherly but still ensuring that you learn, and appreciates and recognizes effort with a minimum of b+/A for minor reqs, for midterms rare A, mostly b/b+, rare Cs, and then common b/b+ for final paper. For more details: 📌requirements: - we had a DB to answer for every synch session which in intersession sched was everyday. Highlight here lang is she doesn’t check Basta you put in something she will give you a score na. Now, the DBs are more of what Doc calls as study notes like you prep before her synch class with the notes you have then post it so everyone can help each other review and read each other’s notes. - for midterms, it’s an essay quiz with open notes! Review her recordings thoroughly and PPTs, Doc is very reasonable with her quiz - for finals, it’s group paper and a session where you give feedback to other groups. Grading for this was b-b+ lang talaga. Consult is key with Doc!!! 📌attendance: - she doesn’t require attendance for this class but please do attend because she really likes it if high attendance rate, gets concerned if low attendance lang, and will want you to on cam (only if you can) because she wants to see your reactions to her discussions. She literally will look at you if you on cam and see you like nodding then she’ll engage with you. 📌group work - you will need group work for a good chunk of the reqs esp for the final paper. Groups are pre assigned. - group leader will be the one to send ma’am the grading sheet if you input in the DBs I mentioned earlier. 📌sessions - Doc has these breakout room sessions for you to discuss the topic of the day and then you have to answer the questions to the topic of the day after you discussed with your groupmates what to answer to ma’am and the class. Edit: overall, minimum effort B and effort with expressed appreciation to maam by participating in class (recit) and consultation is A . Also, ma’am always asks for feedback to her teaching method, modules, class session set up— yes she’s that precious 🥹. Be patient lang if you’re confused with the instructions like go keep asking lang lmk if you’d like to know more!more

[ONSITE, DEV 181.5i] Her as a prof: had dr. librea because i needed an ie 3 last second sem!! altho her class seemed a little too far from my program (context: i took a dev class and im from the fine arts dept) she was able to break the modules down into parts i could clearly understand. another thing to note as well is that she’s very patient and considerate. my friend and i enrolled late and maam was helping us catch up by giving a review of what we missed. her vibe is really motherly istg like she would talk to us before class and ask about our thesis and/or tell us to stay hydrated. but when she teaches though, she is that kind of prof that goes on and on–to the point where sometimes i do blank out but because she provided all the material in the canva module and expects you to study it before going to class, i was still able to understand. Workload: you are expected to read through the modules + materials and submit your individual notes all before heading to class. kind of heavy, but considering how my class was just once a week, i didn’t mind at all. after every module would be a group paper to compile all your individual notes—and your final paper would be a compilation of ALL those short group papers. i will not go into detail of how the group papers go because that’s for you to discover on your own :> Time: my class was from 5-8 PM but she would dismiss us at 7:30 PM Grading: she would release grades for the group paper regularly! but don’t expect to get perfect tho as she always wants you to improve. easy B+ with effort! Tips: - read through your modules because she will call you in class - have good groupmatesmore

Hi I’m back again for my reviews for you Just for context, I had ma’am for Dev 181.5, not dev 181.4! Personally, I would describe ma’am as very nice and motherly! I would come to zoom early just to make kwento with her before classes start, she’s just that fun to talk to!! she’s a bit old tho so she may have trouble with zoom at times. If you’re her beadle, she’ll expect you to help her a lot. Workload: For dev 181.5, her workload was very manageable:> iirc it was 2 assessments and the finals (+ notes per module but you can directly lift these from the readings). A tip I could give for the assessments is to not make it so research-based since she expects them to be centered on your inputs/reflections of the info you learned in the module. All assessments are individual except for the practicum (finals) which is done by group. You also don’t get to pick your group since she just randomizes it hehehe. Again, they’re all very manageable so I wouldn’t worry too much abt them. Grading: ma’am doesn’t give perfect scores for the assessments but she still grades high! Her classes are very A-able in my opinion! Synch sessions: this may be a bit challenging because for dev 181.5, her classes were 3 hours long once a week. The first hour was for the lecture, second hour for discussions (based on certain questions per session) with your group and the last hour for a plenary discussions. If you’re not sanay with long sessions, you might easily get tired w her classes:< also, she wants the classes to be as interactive as possible so sometimes she’ll randomly call on people (no problem though if you can’t answer her). A lot of the info you’ll learn is also through synch sessions (as opposed to asynch materials and modules) so I suggest taking notes every session. Personally, I found this way of learning (mostly through synch sessions) more effective for me. She’s not boring so it was easy to keep my attention on her lectures. TDLR: you can easily A her classes with effort. Personally learned a lot from her so I really liked her as a teacher! She’s also nice and motherly, you can really talk to her about anything. Would also really say she’s one of my fave profs from dev!!more

def a-able in my opinion! just try to get good groupmates (but atleast for mine it was randomly assigned na) and work well with them, pass every onsite workshop paper on time; they’re relatively easy naman and short! the note taking system with doc librea’s class can also help you follow her class and let you also get recit points for it! overall the work heavy stuff na are the midterms exam (which is async) and the final paper for us which is grouped pa din!more

Took Doc Rosette recently but for a different course, rest assured you're in good hands! She's such a sweet prof who really tries to engage with her class, she makes sure to ask if everyone is following and she's very open to clarify certain points if you admit you're confused. She's also quite easy to talk to so if you need to consult or clarify certain things for tasks, she responds relatively fast. Her modules are also very structured and I'd say the workload is pretty light (tho I did take her for intersession). We only had a midterm exam (that was done online), a final group paper, and we have to "defend" our paper while another group critiques it. That was pretty much it, I'm not so sure how she is with DEV 181.5 tho, but she is excited for it (when we were talking about the courses she'll be handling this coming semester)more

Hello!! Not sure if this will help because I had her for DEV 181.2i (Disaster Risk Reduction and Society) but I had a really good experience in her class and her teaching style seems to generally be the same across all the courses she teaches 🙂 ONLINE TEACHING - She was really proactive in helping students adjust to the online setting, so she would always ask for a consensus, ask how we were, adjust deadlines and requirements as needed, and overall very generous - Synchronous sessions were quite frequent (not sure if she continued this) but it was mostly for discussion and giving insights, it would help to go through the readings prior to the sessions because she would ask about them. The modules were given in advance and were complete naman (recorded lectures with script, ppt, and links were always included) - I learned more through the activities and modules than the actual discussions so I guess it really depends on your preference of where you learn best! - Very motherly ❤️ She really went above and beyond when we were all adjusting last intersession. Probably the most effort prof I’ve experienced this entire online setting. WORKLOAD AND GRADING - I would say the workload can get quite heavy but I think this was lessened already if i’m not mistaken, and they’re all manageable. She usually gave comprehensive guidelines and templates for our submissions. She also was diligent to really read our responses and submissions and gave comments on how to improve. - She grades pretty high, I think the class average was an A. Personally didn’t give too much effort (awow) because I was still struggling to adjust but I was still able to merit an A! She was also super diligent in updating us on our grades throughout the semester so we would be able to track our progress. Overall if you’re willing to put a little effort and you appreciate a hands on prof for the online setting, I would recommend her ☺️❤️more

Traditional, participation-heavy, but she is really nice

Hi! In terms of teaching, ma’am is very traditional and wants to make sure that everyone learns something per session. She has learning outcomes per class and will ask you if you learned anything about the topic! She is very participation-heavy but she’s really nice so even if you’re shy, she really encourages and doesn’t force anything out of you! Assessments in the physical classes would be group works with papers to do! (I took her for another class tho so not sure about this one) I don’t know about the online setting tho but hope this helps! 😊more

Kind prof, confusing RBME steps, need a good group

mixed

doc rosette is really kind but this class was so confusing in all levels since it requires consistent attention to detail - doc had us do each step of the RBME model consistently and slowly. it definitely helped with the final submission for the practicum case report but the instructions for each step can get really confusing or vague so expect there to be a lot of collaboration with classmates unless you know how to do the RBME if youre not a ds major or you are but you havent taken doc rosette yet and are interested in the class here's what to expect doc will group you into 3 groups with a maximum of 9 people each before or during the first session - groups are random - youll need to assign a chill/good group leader cuz they will be tasked with submitting the grades of each person of the group at the end of every module (this includes peer evals and grades in general for complying with the instructions of an assignment) - majority of the class youll work w your group; only individual stuff will be recitations or isns - steps from the practicum case report will need to be submitted everytime you finish it during a meeting; doc gives time for the groups to meet right after lectures so you can finish the step that was discussed that day) reqs - overall manageable but very tedious - practicum case report (separate steps draft and overall submission) - individual study notes (isns) - needs to be submitted a day before lecture > we needed to make isns before the start of every lesson - recit (doc likes an engaging class so she'll call people if there are no volunteers) lectures - the way doc teaches the rbme is through mentioning real life applications or current events; so parang kwento lng which is good for understanding the lesson but not really for how to apply it - pro; she uploads powerpoints though so its so good to refer to it when confused with how to do the steps for the rbme overall, wouldnt recommend but ig its adequate enough if you wanna learn more about organizationmore
