super chill!! Didn’t get to have him sa full sem as last sem ended early but from experience like he explains well and if u have any questions he’s open to answering them, workload is ok naman but i had a hard time bc i didnt know sht abt photoshop but i guess it’s reasonable naman! Overall super ok just not sure abt final grading hehe but from other exercises he grades high naman!more

positiveMSYS 25

LOVE HIM!! I had lots of fun in his class. For MSYS 25, he usually teaches synchronously every week, and his modules would just be chock full of the recorded lectures. Honestly though, they're worth watching, because the material is techy and he explains the content as well as he can. But yes, like what Ralf said, better to join his synch classes if you can, and feel free to ask questions while he's teaching as he provides helpful clarifications. His workload is manageable also, but it's not always easy. In case you're having trouble with any of his labs, keep rewatching his recorded lectures or ask him on Canvas - those modes helped me figure out the labs. Tip to get good grades: ALWAYS go to project consultations (they're graded, so attend!) and get good and solid groupmates. He's a chill, funny, and kind prof, parang tropa na rin. Also very considerate, as we got a couple of deadline extensions on some of the assessments after explaining our academic/personal situations to him as a class. I'd say he's a B+/A-able with effort type of prof, but di naman labag sa loob mo yung pag-eeffort na kailangan mong ibigay hehemore

samaco! dont be intimidated by the 3-hr time slot. he often takes up 1 hr and 30 mins to 2 hours only ++ gives out easy assessments (be careful with trick questions tho) and grades high!more

Best:) pls join his sync classes very helpful with the requirements and promise worth it pumunta! First day of class w him really set the tone for the entire sem and it was GREAT. One of the best classes I've had so far:) He grades fairly. Very keen on the codes and outputs you pass! Just follow the instructions and you're good! Workload is fairly manageable! You will not drown as in evenly spaced out lahat(dont cram like me)! He follows his deadlines cause he gives the reqs weeks ahead:))) but di naman turn off yun he's a very fair prof! Plus super fun ng reqs niya and his lectures too! No context: spongebob It is a sin/sad ka na lang if you don’t get his class. Also if walang slots for Sir Pet, Sir JM Santos looks cool:)more

(Disclaimer: this review is for STS but he’s too good not to leave a review for) Sir Pet is hands down the best prof you will get! I was his beadle for last sem and rest assured our class had nothing but good experiences with him. The first day of class will never not be good. Why? Go find out yourself 😉 trust me, you’ll love it. When it comes to lectures, he discusses whichever module you are on during synch. If for some reason you can’t attend (do your best to go he puts in so much effort in the ppts and jokes), he has recorded lectures of both the actual synch and the previous sem’s synch. For quizzes and workload, they are more than fair. I’d go as far as to say that he’s one of the most considerate and consistent profs with this. The items in the quizzes can be easily found in the ppts and recorded lectures he posts (some even ahead of time!). The quizzes will obviously have trick questions, but he explains so well that it shouldn’t be too hard to get it. Workload is also similar. In fact, we had an issue last sem with the acad break so he moved most deadlines to the end of the semester. Despite this, DO NOT abuse his kindness. Make sure you read through the materials and watch the videos so you don’t pass mediocre work. As kind as he is, a fair grade is a fair grade, even if it is an F (unlikely but still do your best!) When in doubt with anything, always feel free to ask him! Sir is more than willing to respond to your questions in a kind, non-condescending, and timely manner (naol for all profs right?). Overall, sir is a GOAT. Yes, the guy being tagged in the comments above me is him. If that’s not proof of how chill he is, then you’ll see it yourself in the sem. Please do him justice by attending his classes and doing well. Like all his other students, we can attest that he does his very best for us. Only fair if we do the same 🤍more
