He is a nice prof in general but grading may depend on how much he likes/relates with you

similar to the other comments i had him in high school HAHAHA he’s a great instructor and you can tell he’s passionate about what he teaches about! i can’t comment about grading or workload because of course it was high school but he’s funny and i looked forward to his classes because his lessons were engagingmore

Hi! Apologies for the long awaited (wow) review about him, tinapos lang finals but eto na 😅 but I would like to add for context that I had him with another prof so bale hati sila sa sem and I only had him from January to late February and then during the last synthesis session na - Relatively light workload, the only actual requirement we actually had under him (bc ung iba was under our other prof na) was an essay and he graded relatively high naman! Just make sure to use the concepts he taught in class from the readings and consult with him, he gives time naman during class to ask him stuff - But other reqs we had were two podcasts, the final art, an art exhibit, and the final paper (idk if this will change if solo lang siya) - He wants the class to be very engaged with the discussions so mahilig siya magparecite and he really takes note of it when you do (Like as in everytime u recite he takes note of it and its part of the overall grade too so recite!! Its not intimidating naman and he’s really kind w/ ur answers as long as u try) - Lots of in class group activities as well, not any that are hard naman they’re really just to gauge how much the class is learning and if kaya maapply yung natutunan from readings - He’s very chill tho and very up to date with ganaps, he even asked us what we thought about the grammys 😆 He’s pretty young so he gives gen z vibes talaga! - His passion for what he teaches really bleeds through his discussions! He really knows his shit - Overall a really good prof! I’d say he’s good for a heavy sem as well since the class was pretty chill. I would genuinely take him again if I could, and I’d say he’s A-able rin as long as you recite and show consistent effort!more

took her in first sem during SY2425! here's what i remember from her class: - everything is in canvas! easy navigation for all material - her lecture vids are vv detailed but make sure u read the book as well - very approachable and considerate! - we met like once a week since the other day would be asynch learning - only 3 exams and recit! her recit might be scary but she def leads you to the right answer - her exams for our class were online^^ some had 2 chances to take due to their length + tricky ang questions - she also had review games before an exam! this rly pulls ur grade up due to incentive points trust me overall, A with decent effort! shes hands on but dont expect a curve since everything is to the decimal point. take her!!more

Hi! Taking up her class this intersession, so I'm not yet done with it. Pros: 1. there are barely any requirements to be done. So far, I've only had a midterm, a video, and a final exam. (However, there was supposed to be an essay - 500 words, and a group video/voice recording/podcast type). 2. you can negotiate the exams and deadlines, especially if her other classes are also asking for the same thing. For example: our midterm was supposed to be 2 hours long, and our class was the second of her classes taking the test. The previous class had asked for an extension and asked for a retake due to its difficulty, thus she allowed us to decide what we wanted to do. In our case, the 2 hour exam became 3 hours -- and when it wasn't enough, she made it take home. She also had special conditions such as, if there's no cheating during the exam, I'll remove a portion of the exam where you get a low grade in (thus increasing your score). 3. She doesn't want her students to retake her class and fail, so she's gonna try to keep bringing your grades up if its low (through bonus points, etc.) Cons: 1. Little amount of requirements/submissions = you won't be able to get your grade up easily if you get a low score. 2. She really values her boundaries when working and when out of work, so there may be times when she's unresponsive, especially if it is out of work hours. 3. There's a lot of readings: for our midterm, we had about 12 chapters of readings from the econ book, powerpoints per chapter (if its easier for you), and even video recordings of her discussing said chapters. It might be a con to go through all of it, but it's all to help you (and well, you can skip it). 4. She normally teaches post-grad econ, so her definition of "this is basic econ" might not be as basic as she thinks. Due to this, you might need to tell her, as a class, that the exam is too hard, or she's going too fast in her pacing for discussions, and etc. You have to let her know that it's too hard. TLDR: B+ able with minimal effort, A-able with effort [take with caution: her teaching style is one that I prefer, so if you have a different learning style, then might be better to explore other profs]. She doesn't want you to fail though so as long as u put in the effort, you probably will pass this class. edit post intersession: definitely B+ able with minimal effort, A with effort. Admittedly, she grades pretty high for most graded deadlines (for class participation, there were 2 deadlines — lowest was 8/10 for either task). Attendance/Cuts is included in the grade so better to not cut, class ends early anywaysmore

positiveECON 110

Hello! Had her for a different Econ class (econ 110 if i recall); she’s pretty chill and teaches well. She provides online recordings to her lectures as well. As for grading, she’s pretty straightforward when it comes to grading and you can contest some items for extra points. I’m not sure about reqs since it’s a different class but for us, she accepted a lot of the changes for deadlines and adjusted to us. Our class also told her we were tired and didn’t sleep properly so she extended our deadline. One of our exams was submitted online (as we requested).more
