Matthew Gabriel hi! did you have her as a prof? how is she in terms of grading? thank you!

positive

Garcia is good based on my experience. My friends and I got an A with normal effort and im not a very religious person but garcia had interesting lectures and the readings arent that long and as long as you read them you will easily breeze through his quizzes!! Definitely get him.more

GARCIA! HANDS DOWN THE BEST. You will really feel the importance of theology and it will feel life changing. You'll learn how to be compassionate towards others in a way you never knew. In terms of requirements, he has quizzes often and its based of the readings and he will look for key ideas coming from them. Just base your answers off the readings and you should be fine. His oral exams are tricky and difficult but as long as you truly listen to the lessons and reflect upon them, you'll do fine.more

She's like a SHS prof as in she cares about her class and is super hands-on!! Attend her class because she always has worksheets and stuff but there are lots of them so it's super easy to make bawi cause the material is basically her discussion. She tries to always relate the readings to life and stuff. Read the readings also, they're short lang naman. Also, just listen and take down notes for the Midterms and Finals. Swear, she has such a big heart and is super considerate huhu. She'll even give you a final list of your grades and a breakdown of each of them. She provides and prints the worksheets and all!! Tbh suuuuuper easy A if you attend her class and take down notes, promise!! <3more

She Myka Chill asf tbh!!!! but like you legit have an activity every single meeting hassle af. for the tests, I legit copy pasted my notes on the paper then B+/A na!!!more

positive

She's actually pretty good in teaching even though she's just a new prof, except for the fact that she can be fast in speaking sometimes. She gives more group works than quizzes. She's also really approachable so don't be scared to ask questions if u have any!more

Hi babes! She’s super great, even though you have an activity every class, those really help you understand the topic at hand and boosts your grade also!! She’s really nice and grades very very fairly/nicely 😉 goodluck She ♥️more

positive

She’s the best!!! It was her first time teaching here last sem. Attendance is really a must because we had a lot of activities in class. Sayang cuts because they’re usually very easy and high school vibes(written, recitation, group presentations, games, etc). Her lectures are organized, she gives handouts pa sometimes with notes na, make you watch videos in class. You can choose orals/written midterms and finals. For finals, you can write notes on an index card after you get your thesis statement. Easy A in my opinion, especially if you take the class seriously. She really knows everyone in class even if you’re not pabibo. Doesn’t mind if you’re a non-believer. Can’t stress how nice she is... she even prints out your attendance and grade breakdown, and comments on your tests with points of improvement / stuff you missed (bonus rin if you’re cebuano)more

Pasting my review here from a diff post: Racaza is A-able but a hard-earned A (in my own experience). She is probably one of the best profs I've had in terms of teaching style—very structured and easy to follow! Though her readings can be quite lengthy. We didn't really have the typical oral exam probably bc it was an integrated class with another major I had + NSTP, but we had two group presentations about our partner community (combined with class learnings) that were fairly manageable. Though she is quite detail-oriented and will ask you specific questions about it. As for assessments, we had one or two long tests (I can't recall if it was only one or two), and this is probably the grade tanker for most people 😅 She allows you to bring a 3x5 index card as kodigs but i still found it very hard bc of how specific the questions are + I didn't have enough time to finish all the essay questions. I did get an A in the end but barely 😅 Class average was probably a B+. TL;DR: A-able with high effort, but quite goated in teachingmore

I had her class onsite. We met almost every session. I found her classes very organized since she starts class with like a rundown of what's gonna be discussed and the sched for the week too. She's strict in a sense na we had a seating chart and would tell us to hide our gadgets from time to time. We also had short quizzes but they were easy naman. Get good grpmates!!! Almost everything we did was by group. I felt like there was a lot of reqs tho 🥲 but they were easy to do naman I also really appreciated how she would include feminist perspectives especially intersectional feminism during discussions- we even asked her for more resources about it since it was related to my group's NSTP but I'm sure Ma'am would also be willing to share what she knows about it if you ask 🫶 If you can take her class, pls do so u will have no regrets ^-^more

Took her for AY 2022-2023 S2 - We met every session and there are little activities every session (don't cut) - Generous and transparent in grades (ez A honestly) - This has been repeated so often but make sure to get good groupmates (the major reqs are done by group) - Discusses well and very open mindedmore

positiveTHEO 12

I took her first sem last school year. SHE IS AMAZING!! Ma'am's teaching style, Canvas modules, and powerpoints are all very easy to understand and follow. She's also super chill with the class. Major outputs are done by groups so getting good groupmates will almost guarantee you an A. She grades fairly and relatively high as long as you are clear and concise. Theo 12 is heavily connected to NSTP so a bunch of requirements will come from your NSTP experiences. The final exam is a presentation of the group's NSTP sector but don't worry too much about it - it's chill and it felt more like a casual discussion. Overall, I really enjoyed ma'am's class. Despite some of the requirements being quite heavy, I had fun and learned a lot. Take her class, you won't regret it!more

GET JOHN LENON HIS LECTURES CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS (cf. Matthew 17:20)

I really enjoyed this class huhu. Ma'am is very understanding and approachable. The lessons are very easy to understand, also thanks to ma'am. She makes sure to have examples rooted in reality. Activities are usually by pair and happen after the discussion (so if u didnt read the reading may chance ka pa), but still bring a copy (either printed or nasa laptop since she doesnt allow phones). Midterms are written, while finals can either be taken as written or orals. If you took down notes, and listened, keribels. I was her beadle for my theo class, and it's no stress at all. You take attendance, and relay messages from ma'am to the class. Overall: 10/10 would recommendmore

There are in class activities most of the time, so it’s engaging. Orals and Written are both options during finals. Understanding, and caring. Andddd Teaches comprehensively, with helpful powerpoints. You can have a deeper understanding of Theo in connection to social reality after the sem.more
