Heavier ENGL 11 load: boards, drafts, surprise quizzes
positive
- CourseENGL 11
- WorkloadHeavy
hii! i had ms. oblepias for engl 11 onsite just this first sem workload can be on the heavier side. there are a lot of discussion boards, some due on the same day they are posted + some presentations as well, about one for each of the five modules. onsite quizzes on paper were mostly unannounced but they were vv short naman (around 6 points max only) so i recommend reading the canvas materials ahead and frequently. for each of the two main essays (personal reflection essay + problem-solution essay), here are the requirements iirc: - one or more outlines and drafts - onsite writing sessions where we wrote drafts of our intros/essays by hand on yellow pad (these were unannounced too, or announced during the day/previous session at best) - peer reviews for two of your classmates' drafts as for grading, ms always emphasized that engl 11 is a "compliance course". as long as you follow the instructions and submit the aforementioned requirements on time, your grades would be secured or even high. she can have high standards with the details tho (she deducts points if for example, naging 2 sentences ung bullet/s mo for a sentence outline, or if you miss out on some points/arguments on your final essay, or if you use nonstandard words like "hassle") but i heard that she gives bonus points naman (like if you submit your final essays a day before the deadline). to have better scores, i recommend following her instructions to the letter and being comprehensive by thinking about the perspective of the reader (what would they like to know more about the topic, how would you help them understand this, how would your story be more complete) since her requirements are very organized and step by step, i don't think it would be best for writers who are more freestyle. her course was very helpful to me tho (since naburnout na me from writing creatively from scratch HSHHSH). i learned a lot about organizing my essays and received quality feedback from both ms and my classmates. i also really appreciate ms because she takes effort to return our essays promptly and to comment on each of them (both strengths and points for improvement) and is vv open and motherly with consultations (she really allots whole class sessions just for us to consult with her before submitting our essays). i sense na she is a teacher dear to our block <33 overall, if you don't mind doing many short tasks and want to learn more, i would recommend her :DDmore

Very nice, thorough checks, I love writing more
positive
- Retake?Yes
- WorkloadMedium
I had her for En 10! She's very nice and she checks your paper thoroughly though sometimes I still can't figure out what she really wants to be the context of your paper. Tbh you're in good hands and I love writing even more because of her. Lots of life lessons as well. She sometimes gives free cuts too but expect a take home task if that happens.more
