Take Ma'am Inez, fun synch classes, detailed feedback
positive
[Online Setting]
Take Ma'am Inez! Participate in the discussion boards and synch classes, she takes note of those. Worth it naman because the synch classes are super fun and chill (and sabog)!
Ma'am's modules are informative enough, may kasamang video lecture from an expert on each topic. The lessons delve into how science and risks like typhoons and earthquakes are communicated by the media or by institutions, and why you can't just simply state the scientific facts to people and call it a day. In your proposal papers, you will think of ways to improve communication and community involvement.
Ma'am is super kind and funny, and always gives detailed, constructive feedback right away so you can improve your proposal papers. She's open for consultations and some kwentuhan when there's no scheduled synch class that day, so make use of it when you can.
In the middle of the sem, the proposal papers were changed into shorter essay-type papers, with the full length proposals as final reqs instead. Also it's best not to cram the proposals. It CAN be done, but doing it ahead of time will spare you the stress. As long as you take Ma'am Inez's critiques and tips into consideration, you'll do fine!
All in all great experience, super recommend!more

Great prof, weekly presentations but low-key and chill

Retake?Yes

This was a great class & a great prof!! Would highly recommend for science majors (this should be a required class for SOSE students!!) & literally anyone (bec the class focuses more on critiquing how science is reported in the media rather than actually writing articles/making documentaries/etc). Be ready to present every week, but the presentations are super low-key & chill (you can reasonably prepare them within less than an hour a week). The more you participate in the discussions, the more interesting your class will be, since she really structures the course around class participation!more

Ma'am Inez is the best, super fun and pretty chill
positive
OH LOL HI HAHAHA
(to anybody else reading this) ma'am inez is the best!!!! she's super fun and the class is pretty chill. presentations every week, you'll learn how to present science well, what to look out for when reading articles or any other content, no need to be ~politically woke~ (but it would be great if u were)!! would definitely recommend anybody to take this class, whether you're interested in science or not. i'd take this class again if i could:cmore

Great class on how science is reported in media
positive
great class, great prof! this class focuses more on how science is reported/communicated in media. really interesting. I think the other class, comm & envi, is more on the use of science in pop culture. either way, you can never go wrong with ma'am Inez. she's the best!more
