Fun class, but definitely not an easy A
positive
- WorkloadMedium
I took Sir Aaron’s CSP 71i during AY 2025-2026 Second Sem! Overall a fun class to take but don’t take this class thinking it’s an easy A. - Sir is kind but his expectations are high so you can’t just bola your answers in graded seatworks and participation - Readings aren’t that long (imo) and it’s really fun to read but sir expects you to understand the readings as there would be unannounced graded seat works in class and as I said, he expects that you truly did understand the readings as the questions really try to dig deep on the readings. - Most of your grades are based on two things: Graded participation and the Final Creative Project (FCP). Based on experience, it’s better not to cut classes because it can easily affect your graded participation. TDLR; fun but definitely not an easy A. Don’t enlist thinking that it would help with your QPI bc it probably won’t and sir made that clear during the first day of class.more

Rubric-strict but she let me retake and I got A
positive
- 4.0 attainableYes
Technically you'll be graded depending on how you perform on the requirements. She has mentioned that she values improvement the most, but I still can not see how this reflects on her grading since she followed the rubric to the t back in my time. Personal experience: I was lagging behind as a beginner who had no idea what each stroke even looked like before the diagnostics, so I just trained on my free time. I don't have access to private pools, so I would always visit marikina sports complex/center or the ls pool during community hours. Got an A in the end. I remember I got a C-level number of laps on the 20-laps midterm. Was present on the retaking date after finals and she randomly asked if I wanted to retake. I did and I was able to bump my midterm grade to B+. (She once whispered when we were walking together how I was one of her most improved. I still get kilig whenever I recall that moment.)more

Fun class if you actually do the readings
positive
- CourseCSP71
hiii i took sir aaron’s csp71 last sem overall a fun class to take! - just be willing to read the readings in preparation for the graded seatworks (for some of the quizzes, he looks for particular words from the assigned reading, for others he looks for well thought out answers na “short essay” and integrates your real-life experiences or unique takes/insights. graded seatworks (+ the class activities na arts-related and your participation in the roundtable discussion sessions) are 33% of your grade - the art activities are chill, probs graded as class participation! he incentivizes those who make the best output - have a good group for your final creative project! the pitch is 33%, and the implementation of your actual project is 33%more

First meet is orientation; leave an hour after
Group member 1. Swimming happens right after your first meeting. First meeting is just orientation about the pool rules and class-specific rules. 2. Your safest bet is to have at least an hour vacant after swimming for showering and eating since swimming is tiring!more

You can leave the pool about 15 mins early
You can request to leave the pool around 15 mins early kung may klase ka right afterwards. Kailangang mo lang bilisan yung pagligo + skincare kung mahahabol mo pa! You'll just feel hungry in your next class tho. Swimming is a full body workout after all!more

Patient with beginners, great hands with Coach Amor
mixed
- Retake?Yes
I'm the kulelat in my section in my class last semester and her patience just knows no bounds. She's really patient with the beginners of her class and will not hesitate to remind you about what are the right things to do in regards to swimming strokes. Of course, you can hear the tiredness from her voice when you consistently fail upon a stroke (mahirap talaga siya when you're starting) pero it's never in a place of malice. One of my fondest memories is when she congratulated me for being able to swim an entire lap within the pool in backstroke! Overall, you're in great hands with Coach Amor!more

Another thing, she also gave me a handicap for our midterms to prevent myself getting an F. That's how considerate she is!

GSWs mix memorization and succinct opinion
neutral
it’s actually a mix of both! the first two GSWs (under mod 1) required memorization of particular words/phrases from the assigned readings, but the last few ones didn’t super need memorization, as long as you explain your opinion succinctly and straight-to-the-point (+ he likes to see novel ideas or your attempts to connect the reading to real life/your experiences)more

Gradual consistent learning beats talent

- Retake?Yes
The best! Just make sure to always be in class. She really believes that gradual and consistent learning beats talent in swimming!

Take swimming first if you want proper strokes
basic survival swimming would focus more on floating and threading around the water, swimming would be your standard swimming lessons so if you want to learn to swim nicely in a pool, swimming first.more

Beginner still got a B+ from practicing
positive
- Retake?Yes
yes! Make use of the pool community hours! I took her class as a beginner (no experience at all, floating, breathing, etc.) and still got a B+ because of diligently practicing.more

Values improvement and grades swim fairly high
positive
- 4.0 attainableYes
Took her last sem and yes she really values your improvement throughout the sem!! Though, do your part and actually practice for the class esp. if you don’t know the basics but if you do have a hard time, she gives extra attention to those struggling naman (she makes sure everyone can keep up). I didn’t have such a hard time since I already knew basic swimming before I took her but I did prepare for the midterms/finals since I was a slow swimmer with really bad stamina. Basically, just try to prepare and practice outside class hours if you know you need it since she grades fairly high naman (esp. for swim assessments).more
