Mahirap siya magpatest sa Philo 10. Sobrang objective at kahit yung mga terms na kahit isang beses niya lang mamention magpapakita sa quiz. Make sure to MEMORIZE EVERYTHING kung gusto mong pumasa sa quizzes/exams niya. Mas mahirap pa kasi tagalog, so may errors talaga sa pagintindi/translations ng terms so dadagdag sa difficulty.more

She understands how people think the first time around.

1) sobrang galing mag-explain ng concepts. tho nakakaantok lalo na kung Filipino yung philo 2) sobrang objective ng quizzes. mag-aral ka or else! :)

positivePHILO 1

Super sipag ni ma'am intindihin yung mga students at kung sa'n kami nanggagaling at kung pano kami umiintindi kaya ang linaw ng mga explanations niya. Super sipag niya rin in general (as in kahit may sakit siya pumapasok pa rin) at iniisa niya talaga tanong ng lahat ng students hangga't kaya ng oras. One of the best sa lahat ng profs ko.

positivePHILO 1

Masaya at sobrang interactive ng class. Madali lng din yung mga exams basta nag-aral ka. :)

positivePHILO 1

Minsan mahirap exams pero ayos siya magturo

positivePHILO 1

Exams are easy enough if you listen to her lectures (which are generally easy to understand, anyway). Loves to give a lot of group projects. Great at clarifying concepts that may be hard to grasp, and is also generous in giving bonus points.more

positivePHILO 1

Okay naman yung exams niya. Kailangan mo lang makinig at mag-aral ng mabuti. Mabait siya pero wag na wag lang tumunog ang cellphone mo sa klase, baka ano pa mangyayari.more

positivePHILO 1

Super bait and patient! She always makes sure na nagrasp na ng students niya yung concepts. Generous din sa points, exams are easy as long as you listen and take note of the terms and concepts. Generally mataas mag grade, tho hindi siya mahilig mag bigay ng flat uno. Fun yung activities especially recits :Dmore

positivePHILO 1

Sobrang bait na prof sa Philosophical Analysis (Philo 1)! Hindi ko man nai-uno (pero sabi uno-able nga) at ayaw ko sa ibang topics ng philo, I got a good grasp of the subject because of her.more

positivePHILO 1

Ok naman si Ma'am kaso minsan paulit-ulit siya sa isang topic para maintindihan ng lahat, ang tendency namamadali na 'yung mga susunod na topic.

positivePHILO 1

Kung naghahanap ka ng Philo prof, kay Macapinlac ka na.

positivePHILO 1

Magaling siya. Mabait. Enjoy yung mga philosophical discussions. Philo 1 pa lang yun. Mapapaisip ka talaga. Madali rin mga exams niya.

positivePHILO 10

Very good prof, although the class will definitely be a snoozefest by the middle of the session. Her quizzes can be quite challenging since the questions asked are quite specific. Also take the questions in essays seriously because she WILL GIVE 0/15 for bad essaysmore

neutralPHILO 10

Memorization ang pinaka walang kwentang form ng learning. Kaya ito na ang pinaka walang kwentang class ko so far. Okay naman sana siya magturo: matatas at malinaw. Pero hindi ko talaga nagustuhan yung memorization na required para mapasa yung exams niya.more

positivePHILO 10

WARNING: SHE TEACHES IN FILIPINO AND YOU BETTER ANSWER IN FILIPINO. Also, her short quizzes are really 30-35 items of enumeration so you better not just understand but memorize terms, concepts and meanings. She's nice though. But you'll be bombarded with abstract ideas and you might end up in a state of "the sabaw". There'll be writing papers too.more

positivePHILO 10

Maayos naman ang turo ni Ma'am, 'yun nga lang nakakaantok kasi halos salita lang talaga ang medium of learning sa tuwing class hours. Mag-aral ng mabuti for the two quizzes and LE's.more

positivePHILO 1

Madali, yung lecture parang sa high school lang, yung way ng pagkakadiscuss at mga activities. Di gaano complicated.

positivePHILO I

Ok namang prof. Attendance ay checked 15 minutes after start ng class. Madaming group projects. Minsan nakakaantok lalo na pag siya lang nagdidiscuss. Medyo mahirap magpaexam lalo na pag essay pero keri naman. Papasa with enough effort. :))more

positivePHILO 10

I took a 7 AM class and I wasn't having a hard time except during the second half of the sem. The lessons were really complicated so you'd really have to listen attentively. Ms. Arlyn is nice and approachable and gives lots of consideration although her grading system is quite challenging. Take this if you're really devoted to a subject.more

positivePHILO 10

Ang bright ng aura ni ma'am lagi. Magaling mag-explain. Watch out lang sa exams. Kailangan din magrecite. Walang room for reasoning masyado, puro understanding concepts lang.more

positivePHILO 10

Parang high-school yung approach ng teaching ni Ma'am Macapinlac: sobrang uniform and planned ang mga lessons. She's very kind and knowledgeable at the same time. The exams are a bit tricky and challenging though and getting an uno is almost impossible unless you're super GC.more

positivePHILO 10

Sobrang bait nya. Ang hinhin magsalita. And sa lectures, sinusuyod nya talaga kaya imposibleng hindi mo ma-comprehend nang mabuti. Just pay attention in class and submit the requirements, mataas yung makukuha mong grade from her.more

mixedPHILO 10

Sobrang dami mong matututunan. Worth it na kuhain mo siya, grabe. Ayon nga lang mahirap magpa-exam. Not so unoable compare to other profs but ayon nga, sobrang dami mong matututunan. Requirements sakanya ay paper works, group works, and 2 LEs. Recommended ko siya if learning talaga ang hanap mo.more

positivePHILO 10

kung gusto mo matuto, take her!!! pero kung uno lang hanap mo, wag na.

positivePHILO 10

She's really great. All you have to do is listen. I got a really high grade, but also because I did my part in studying. Aba, maloloka ka talaga kung hindi ka nakikinig o di mo pinag-aralan mga handouts niya. If you want to enjoy, take her.more

mixedPHILO 10

Magaling siya magturo! Yung mga mahirap na concepts ng philosophy, maiintindihan mo kapag siya nag-explain. Pero mahirap yung exams, and madaming pinapagawa na group works at minsan, papers na din. Hindi siya unoable. Kung ano talaga yung makukuha mo na grade sa kanya, yun na mismo grade mo, unlike other professors na medyo considerate.more

positivePHILO 10

Sobrang galing magturo ni mam Macapinlac, considered shifting to Philo after taking her Philo 10 class.

positivePHILO 10

Nakakaantok sa klase kasi umaga pero ginagawa naman ni ma'am yung best niya para hindi kayo antukin tapops medyo maraming paperworks pero by group naman so madali lang. Basta makinig ka lang tuwing discussion pasado ka na sa exams. feeling ko unoable pag nagaral at nagsikap ka talaga pero kung chillax ka lang, mataas na din yungmakukuha mong grademore

positivePHILO 10

Mabait si Ma'am and very motherly. Yung exams ay tama lang. Hindi ganun kahirap pero kailangan magreview. Mag notes and makinig since dun manggagaling yung mga tanong. Minsan may essay questions. May bonus sa final grade if complete attendance ka. Mahilig siya sa groupworks.more

positivePHILO 1

She's very kind and smart. I learned a lot from her and the discussions were really fun. But the exams were quite hard. I got a low grade but still, she's worth taking. Just don't use phones during her class. I still remember how my phone got thrown.more

mixedPHILO 10

NAPAKAHUSAY! :) Magaling magturo si Ma'am.

positivePHILO 10

You get the grade you worked for. Madali lang yung exams. Unoable sya. Motherly si ma'am! Participate din sa discussions and group works. Magbasa rin ng readings lagi kasi naffrustrate sya pag walang sumasagot sa tanong nya paminsan; hindi nya nga lang pinapahalata. Masaya to!!more

positivePHILO 10

Wag kayo magpaniwala na nakakaantok si Mam, kung talagang makikinig ka sa kanya marami kang matututunan. Totoo yung sinasabi nila na mapapa shift ka talaga sa Philo kapag siya naging prof mo kasi na-explain niya ng maayos ang Epistemology and Ethics. Lagi pa siyang nakangiti pag nagtuturo kaya mahahawa ka na rin sa kanya pag naglelecture siya.more

positivePHILO 10

Di ko gets bakit mahirap daw magpa-exam si Maam. Nasa readings naman lahat. Medyo effort nga lang. I assure you, kung ikaw yung estudyante na gusto may matututunan, at di lang basta basta sa grades, kunin mo. Otherwise, kunin mo pa rin saka mag-effort ka lang. Kaya ma uno. Checks attendance.more

positivePHILO 10

usually yung exams nasa notes mo. kaunting basa lang sa readings pwede na. with effort, kaya mauno.

positivePHILO 10

Mahusay magturo. Nanay-vibe. Unoable. Kunin mo.

positivePHILO 10

Her class is so chill. Some readings every now and then. She teaches fine. But for a Philo class, her class is a bit heavy with group work and the speculative/Socratic part is watered down.more

positiveNSTP 1&2

UH HUH GO FOR IT!!!!!!!! SHE'S VERY VERY KIND AND UNOABLE WITH EFFORT

neutralPHILO 10

super bait ni Ma'am! Ni "walang-hiya" di masabi kasi daw parang mura loool. Gusto nya talaga yung tinuturo nya kaya kahit one week ang makeup classes namin dahil sa suspensions kebs lang :Dmore

positivePHILO 1

Super important sa kaniya at sa grades mo ang class participation, so if malala social anxiety mo or feeling mo you really can't compete with your classmates na game na game at forda recite din... I don't suggest taking this class. Pero the pedagogy and everything is great!more

positivePHILO 1

hirap sumabay sa class na puno ng mga magaling mag isip HAHAHAHAH medyo mataas standards ni maam pero the discussions were so worth it, marami kang mapupulot. May mabibitbit ka talagang knowledge from her class na magagamit mo elsewheremore

positivePHILO 1

HS style of teaching. Very organized magturo, but can be kind of boring. Siguro mataas standards ni ma’am sa tatlong essay, pero kayang iperfect with effort and as long as you apply the concepts she taught. Madali lang oral exam. Unoable with effort. Sobrang motherly rin at mabait.more
