Sobrang galing magturo ni maam as in! Matututo ka talaga sa kanya. Ang dami niyang opinyon sa mga bagay bagay. No dull moments sa class niya kahit magdiscuss lang siya ng magdiscuss. Halos lahat ng requirements niya by group tas kung sino groupmates mo sila na kasama mo for the whole sem kaya swerte mo kung nakikipag-cooperate groupmates mo.more

Magaling magturo si Ma'am. Marami kang matutunang mahalaga sa kanya. :D Mataas standards pero mabait hehe marami rin siya magpabonus points. Basta sipagan lang ang pagpasok at makinig mabuti sa discussions. :)more

She places emphasis on recitation and her exams are partly based on the readings, so hindi pwede magtamad sa required readings. You'll also need to really work with your groupmates if you want a high grade because groupworks are super important in her class. But overall she's a very intelligent, liberal, dynamic professor. I learned a lot from her.

Mahusay na guro. Tunay na makabayan. Mamumulat ka sa kondisyon ng lipunan. Minsan sabog siya dahil kakapanood niya lang ng Kris TV pero ok na ok talaga siya magturo.more

Napakahusay magturo. Feel ko nagbago buhay ko nung kinuha ko yung PI under niya. Ineencourage niya na magparticipate sa discussion yung students kaya mainam na magbasa talaga. Medyo mataas standards pero basta magsipag lang.more

NSTP to so super chill lang ng class. Exposure trip lang ang requirement at attendance. At one point, parang naisip ko na mas madami pa ang natutunan ko buong year na kasama ko si ma'am kesa sa multiple subjects or even high school. From history to laws to science to language to geography to culture to almost everything!!!! Nakakatawa din siya. :))more

Magaling magturo si Maam, marami siyang insights sa bawat talakayan. Though, freak out ang mga readings niya may matututunan ka naman doon. Kaya laging magbasa.

mixedFIL 40

Eto ang kauna-unahan kong klase na hindi natulugan. Hindi dahil sa strikto si Ma'am sa mga hindi nakikinig(well, isa na rin yun) pero dahil sa sobrang ganda ng discussion, hindi ka mabo-bore. Hindi para sayo ang klase na 'to kung hindi ka mahilig magbasa. Pero pwede ka parin naman makapasa sa kanya kasi maraming bonus points na binibigay.more

I took Fil40 under her during my freshie year and some say na it was a bad move kasi mahirap nga pero honestly hindi ko pinagsisihan. Magaling si Ma'am magturo at yung mga ideas niya, hanggang makauwi ako sa probinsya namin iniisip ko pa din. Minsan nga lang mapapagod ka na makinig kasi madalas galit pero worth it talaga yung klase niya.more

positiveFIL 40

Sobrang galing magturo! Feeling ko tumatalino ako kada umaattend ako ng class niya. Marami siyang opinyon sa mga bagay-bagay, yes, pero marami rin talaga siyang alam. At hindi ka pa aantukin dahil sobrang interesting ng discussion. Funny rin siya. Magbasa lang ng readings, mag-aral, makakakuha ka ng matinong grade.more

She's very close minded. I pity those BA and Econ people who are taking her class because she gives them low grades, yells at them, and demean them during classes because what they study is contrary to what ma'am believes in. Bias and unfair. Don't take her if you're from these colleges. BA and Econ concepts pa naman are useful.more

You will learn a lot from this class. Be prepared, however, with an open mind. She gave tests which I found pretty difficult. She looked for answers worded in a specific manner. She struck me as a "My way or the highway" kind of prof. I appreciated the different perspective she provided, but also took pity on any classmate who opposed her ideas.more

positiveFIL 40

I honestly believe that this class is unoable, but you really have to work for it. I got a 1.25, but maam does give away a lot of opportunities for bonus points. You really have to make the effort though. I can see why she may not be liked by everyone taking her class (strict, intimidating, and different philosophies?) but i honestly learned a lot.more

positivePAN PIL 17

Worth taking talaga kahit ganyan mga exams niya. Read the readings, listen and try to do the bonus activites. Tama nga yung makakaha ka ng matinong grade basta kumayod ka.more

mixedFIL 40

Honestly GC ako pero I still took her class and it was worth it. Pasa naman ako and her discussions are really worth listening to. Legit eye-opener siya tungkol sa nangyayari sa bansa and her feelings for the country are just intense. She explains complex concepts naman don't worry, and basa-basa rin! Take the class for the woodcutter experience :Dmore

Totoong mahirap ang fil 40 kay ma'am. Pero magbasa ka lang ng readings kahit mahaba pa iyan, tapusin mo. Makinig ka ng maigi sa sinasabi niya. At kahit totoong may pagka-close-minded si ma'am, pwede mo namang isipin na lang iyong ideas niya, which are reasonable. You don't have to accept them as your own. Namamahiya lang.more

Magaling magturo. Binuksan niya ang aking isipan. Tatanggalin niya ang piring sa mata mo bubuhayin ang pagkamakabayan mo. Kung gusto mong matuto, kunin mo siya. Mahirap ang exams pero marerealize mo na galing lang din yun sa mga diniscuss niyo. Objective siya at tunay sa iskolar. Lahat ay may basehan, walang "parang".more

Magaling at matututo ka ng mga konsepto tungkol sa mga alternatibo. maiintindihan mo kung bakit may kahirapan at bakit nananatili ito. Helpful ang class. Hell ang reports as in namimigay si mam ng "AWARD" kapag hindi maayos ang report. Mabigat ang class pero worthy ang pagkuha.more

I can assure you that you will learn a lot of this class but if you're the kind of person who depends on their GEs to pull up their GWAs, don't take this class. You're required to read the assigned article before each class since there's recit. The exams are mostly essays and are very difficult. This class requires more effort than a typical GE.more

MAHIRAP. but she's really good. you'll really learn from her it's just that... ang hirap lang talaga ng quizzes niya. may plus points naman siya but most either coincides with my classes or sobrang gabi na so..more

positiveFIL 40

Ito yung class na sobrang worth it kunin, kahit bumabaha ng readings every discussion at babaha ng luha after mo mag-exam. 2 exams tapos may report, talasalitaan and final paper na by group. Nagpay-off lahat ng efforts ko dito kasi fair si ma'am maggrade :Dmore

Magaling si ma'am magturo! Basta magbasa ng readings :) Very informative yung readings niya tapos dadagdagan nya yung info during discussions para mas magets. Medyo mahirap ang exams pero naka-uno naman ako :) Nagpapabonus din si ma'am.more

positiveFIL 40

Nakakamulat ng mata ang mga tinuturo ni ma'am. Maraming mga kaalaman na makukuha sa mga babasahin pati na rin sa diskusyon. Klaro at kongkreto ang pagpapaliwanag sa mga konseptong di agad maintindihan. Hinihikayat lamang ang gustong ng Fil 40 sa kanya na magsikap magbasa at para sa pakikilahok sa klase, wag magbigay ng pang-Miss Universe na sagot.more

TIBAK NA KAMING LAHAT PAGKATAPOS NG SEM HAHAHAHAHHA

positivePAN PIL 17

Nabuhay ang tibak heart ko. Sobrang daming natututunan every meeting tapos siguro during the first few meetings magiging uncomfortable ka sa mga sinasabi niya kung di ka sanay, pero masasanay ka rin. Always back your claims up with statistics, kahit sa recitation haha.more

positivePAN PIL 17

Asahan na mahihirapan kayo sa dalawang pagsusulit. Kaya mag-aral nang mabuti at magbasa. Sa huli, maraming matututunan, magiging kritikal kayo sa kulturang popular. Kaya subukan niyo.more

Hindi ko pinagsisihan na kinuha ko siya sa first sem ko sa UP. As in sobrang tumatak sakin yung mga pananaw nya sa mga bagay-bagay. Totoong mahirap siya magpa-exam pero makinig ka lang sa sinasabi niya tuwing discussion makakasagot ka for sure. Wag mong isipin yung grades na makukuha mo kasi worth it ang pagtake ng klase nya. MAM, SALUDO AKO SAYO!more

positiveFIL 40

Tibakin si ma'am. Pag may hindi ka na-gets, magtanong ka. Make sure naaral mong maigi ung readings kase mej madugo pag exams. Pag report, kailangan background ng author tsaka pag-aralang mabuti ung part mo kung ayaw mong maokray. Fun 'to kahit papano! Makwento naman si ma'am. Not too easy, not too hard. Effort-an mo lang sa bonus points.more

i was hesitant at the start of the sem because of the reviews but I really enjoyed the class. i got through most of the recits without reading lol!! i just read on the spot and maam is also helpful pag alam niyang ure lost sa reading. still, better to be prepared. the exam is difficult pero review lang and pay attention to details. i left a review bc di ko expect that i'll get an unomore
