iirc we had
• pop / announced quizzes
• HEVSMA group work + presentation
• long test
• cosmic calendar
he was really moody when he got him because he was so busy and his mom was sick and also passed away during our sem so we also had a lot of asynch sessions 🥹 he’s nice when he’s not moody but he is most of the time so tread carefully 😭 tip for lt because its so nonsensical its going to be similar to the sample lt he gives and he just changes up the question.
i managed to snag an A even tho i lowk failed the quizzes and the HEVSMA presentation but i think what pulled my grade up was our cosmic calendar which can be done individually or by group and my tip is to just get creative with it!more

Easiest A in Ateneo so far

Easiest A in Ateneo so far. Every long exams are just online essays. Like long exams and major requirements are all online. He only had one long onsite essay exam but even then there are so many bonus points onsite that you'll make up for it. Class is interesting naman if he is present (but he rarely shows up to class or always late). Just try not to anger him which is easy naman because all he asks is for people to not cut or pass late which is the bare minimum for you as a student.
Take him for the easiest A of your life. The only way for you to get a lower letter grade is if you keep submitting late and always cutting from class.more

For his quizzes, he'll give a 1 point quiz at the end of every session that also counts as your attendance for the day. The quizzes are about the concepts you discussed that session, so if you took notes/listened it'll be easy.
Long tests carry most of your grade (besides the final exam), and there are 3 in total, which are 25 points each.more

positive
also his quizzes are mostly surprise but it is rlly easy it's just gonna be a rehashed version of your seatworks (hevsma, groupworks). one of the easiest A ever bc he keeps talking abt the same topic for quite a few sessions kaya the quizzes were easymore

Unpredictable exams, mood swings, curves if you're on his good side
no, pls not him-To be specific (for cons):- literally unpredictable (has exams that he records (and don't)or quizzes he will impulsively not give you even if you studied for it)- mood swings (chill on one end and a massive tantrum on the other)- very opinionated (not really bad but I feel like he is the type to be pissy with opposing views)Pros:- curves (if you're on his good side aka when you look like you're listening and agree with his opinions on certain issues)more

he's chill af.
positive
he's chill af. just literally keep quiet and do his reqs. don't be his target cuz he will tank your grade. his reqs are doable tbh it's nothing crazy. he's just a moody guy cuz he's going through stuff. also he didn't always hold classes. so that was good. It wasn't a tiring subj at all and I got an Amore

A lot of his activities and outputs are composed of group works and papers.

A lot of his activities and outputs are composed of group works and papers. They can be tedious, but just make sure to submit your outputs on time! Overall, A-able naman :>more

do all your outputs on time, attend class as much as you can (he might be late
positive
do all your outputs on time, attend class as much as you can (he might be late half of the time but be there on time), try your best to recite, but most importantly DO ALL YOUR OUTPUTS ON TIME. had to repeat it for good measure. chill prof he js gets very passionate since what u’re doing in class is like a snippet of what he does irl im pretty sure. A-able if u don’t become a target (always absent, doesn’t pass on time). he’s also pretty accommodating as i had a few personal emergencies that semester and he was chill w my late submissions provided that i sent my copies of the relevant docs neededmore
