She's really nice and makes literature digestible

positive

• CourseIDS 146

hi! actually i think it might be maam rica's first time teaching that subject? kasi it's my first time seeing her name for IDS 146! nevertheless, i took her for ENLIT 31: LITERATURES OF THE WESTERN WORLD I: EUROPE, which is a very similar subject to yours because they both tackle classical/middle period literature! so even if my insights are not for the same subj, i can at least give u details on her teaching and grading style in terms of middle period literature hehe to start, jus wanna say SHE'S RLLY RLLY NICE AND I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!! 🤩 here's why: SUBJECT-WISE - note that i was in a major literature subject na before ha but she was so understanding kasi she isnt strict whether or not students read the assigned literary piece!! 🥹 - she makes the concepts more easily digestible <33333 - make sure to listen to what she discusses and understand them, because these will what her quizzes be all about! - NOTE THO as much as she's lenient with students in reading, plsplspls kahit try nyo man lang din magbasa even if it's difficult and nakakatamad! she gets rlly happy and more bubbly when students are actually able to answer her questions regarding the literary piece hehehe <3 GRADE-WISE - medyo con lang sa kanya is ung fact na hindi sya consistent magbigay ng feedback n grades :")) but she does naman some of the time so i think that'll be enough to help you if ever na hindi ka confident sa englishing iskillz mo [u can always just ask her den tbh bc she's very welcoming and warm!! and sometimes she honestly just forgets to give feedback kasi akala nya minsan na nabigay nya na rip] - in my experience, she was def A-able! - if ure that type who doesnt rlly like to read and who wants to exert minimal effort at it, make sparknotes your best friend!! maam rica always says sarcastically and playfully "okay guys so what did you learn when you read from sparknotes?" (non-verbatim) - re sparknotes: maam rica knows when u used it tho 😆 so use that tip with caution pag assessments kasi mother rica KNOWS i tell ya. best to use it as ur basis lang! BASTA MAIN TIPS ARE: 1. kung hindi kayang magbasa, at least know the gist of the story and take note of the details that maam rica discusses (important for quizzes which are mostly essay) 2. be ready to elaborate on them thoroughly sa mga assessment! PERSONALITY - she's very motherly huhu you're in great hands i swear!! - the way she discusses is so animated and dynamic (bc she's so bibo and has a lot of energy) - she's kinda disorganized sometimes tho ngl but it doesnt affect the overall flow of the class naman. her "disorganizationismalismz" is just rooted from the fact that she's very makulet and makwento 😆 in the best way ha - id take her again, no doubt <3 i learned a lot from her and exerting effort in her subj was an experience that was so worth it for me!! TLDR: - overall i hate classical/middle literature but maam rica made it enjoyable and fruitful, an experience filled with learnings <3 - A-able basta u listen to her discussions, u know the gist of the stories, and u understand carefully the details she discusses abt them :>> madali lang naman ung concepts so i believe kayang kaya talaga even if ure not a literature major - expect a lot of essays! but dw in my experience her essays werent too technical; they were always rooted in personal experiences alongside the values and lessons contained in the text-- that was my fav part bc it made her subj load much much lighter - last i can tell u is despite her occasional disorganized tendencies, the overall class flow was not affected, and it wont deter you from anything important bc she discusses very well and in a way that makes it easier for students to understand!! enjoy IDS 146 with her! im sure it'll be a great and meaningful experience bc you'll be in the hands of an insightful, motherly, and lovely professor <3more
