Leans worth takingread from published reviews and public records · low confidence
Take Lozada if you will attend and study the lectures and slides; the two kept comments call grading curved/rounded and exams lecture-faithful. Sample is two short writeups and six other batch rows were already dropped, so this is lean_take rather than take. Lean away only if you need a documented light workload or will not sit through lecture.

Hi! If it helps I'm taking him right now for HISTO11. He grades fair and high, but you have to thoroughly read the readings and present good arguments for the written assignment. He grades high in the creative aspects of the assessments. Note that his grading system is different from the norm, as his A is a 96+. Every point counts. Note that he has only three requirements: written assignment, long test, finals.more

A is possible, few reqs, high grading and sometimes a curve

hii!! was under sir dave for histo 11 last year, and it is definitely possible to get an A from him 🫶 i think the main hurdle would be the fact that he does not give a lot of requirements (we had 2 submissions and a final exam for the whole sem), but he does grade relatively high and would sometimes curve if you're super near the next grade :"))more

Finals are lecture-based, not easier
hellooo! i can't quite remember sir's final (out of sight, out of mind HWHAHSHS) so i believe it's not easier... but, skimming through my notes before, it's mostly stuff from sir's lectures talaga, and for noli and fili, i just took note of important events and how it relates to rizal (e.g. how ibarra is like an image of rizal etc etc)more

Pace the readings, don't cram
neutral
Honestly, pace yourself with the readings, its fr gonna be hard if you try to cram them all in a week or in a day. I'd say listen to his lectures lang and ask him what the most important parts of the readings were if that was not already said during his lectures. Kaya mo yan!more

Lectures come from the readings
neutral
yeess, you can also read the readings! all (well, mostly) the content of sir's lectures are technically from there. sometimes he just adds details, and for me, i'm able to understand the concepts more during his lectures!
but yes, sir also does require his students to still read the readings, since the details are all there 🙏🏼more

GET HIM. Teaching wise, he will make u appreciate and understand Philippine History in a very funny and real way. Grading wise, he grades high so long as u listen and keep up to date with class notes. Relationship wid students is peak as he is open to extending deadlines when I was his student.more

Possible! He grades fairly high iirc, got an A from him with medium effort. Thought I would get a B+ since he only gave us three requirements but he gave me a high grade for the final requirement!
Unlike the other comments though, our class didn't have a long test so things might be different now.more

Sir Dave's the goat! He grades high, but he only has a few requirements (three for mine.) The main thing you need to consider with him is that all he really asks you to do is to listen well and read well.more

I'm pretty he won't be because he always takes up the entire period.

Might curve if you're 1% from the next letter
positive
LeniencyYes
hii!! based on my experience with him last semester, he might curve if you're very close to the next letter grade (I was personally 1% away from the next after the final exam was graded, but he gave me the next grade anyway) :00 hope this helps!!more

Sir curves by rounding up. He's A-able, very possible. I miss Sir Dave.

Easiest if you listened; note quotations from readings

The easiest thing if you’ve listened to his lectures (+5 questions about the readings). Take note of quotations ;)

Midterm is easy if you listened and reviewed

sir's midterm exam is fairly easy, esp if you listened carefully during his lectures! but don't just rely on your stock knowledge, make sure to review as well (esp the details that you might've forgot)more
