Haii what to do for Sir Benitez in FILI 12 if I lost my bluebook TvT….. it has all my quizzes and he doesnt record it until youre supposed to give it to him in the end of the year. Im thinking of recreating all my quizzes from scratch and memory and im sure hes strict enough that he’ll 0 me if I tell him I lost it. It’s been a week and im running out of time.. any suggestions??? Is copying all my quizzes the safe bet… or is he not as strict as I think he is when it comes to bluebooks?more

The GOAT! But don’t mistake her kindness as a reason to be lazy and incompetent. She grades well, if you try and perform well. Overall, you’re in good hands.

Carlos Mapua Ramos for our case, no exams and quizzes, just presentations. Lots of them and then a few write-ups and worksheets.

Had her for Purposive Communication so I can't vouch for this particular subject. She has high and //specific// expectations. She doesn't lecture as much as others do, but when she does it's concise (so if you have questions, ask! She'll entertain naman) She's more project based din, mej "learn as you go" type, so be prepared for a lot of group works. Again, make sure to ask if you have any questions, esp during projects kasi she's really particular with details. Even if you have a great project, she won't necessarily give it the highest mark if it doesn't have what she's looking for. She grades fairly naman imo, tho I heard na it's hard to get an A (I wouldn't know). Her quizzes are also fairly easy pero they're mostly essay types (again, she's detail oriented so it has to have em details).more

I had her for another class, and she’s great!! Her standards were quite high, but I learned so much from her. She never shamed me or my classmates for whatever ideas we had, and instead she gave really helpful constructive criticism. I enjoyed her lectures and never really got bored. Plus she grades fairly, so as long as you put in work and listen to her instructions and feedback, then you’ll be fine. BUT this was like 4 yrs ago omg so i dont know if what im saying still applies akshsksksmore

positiveENLIT 12

I had her for ENLIT 12 and loved her. We focused on learning the skills to analyze texts compared to just memorization of the details of the text. She gave us a modern and fun book to read for our finals, CRAZY RICH ASIANS OwO PLEASE READ IN ADVANCE AND DON'T CRAM IT A DAY BEFORE THE TEST She's so smart and catches stuff in the text that we didn't notice or analyze enough. I suggest really reading the readings before class (it's helpful to ask her what will be discussed next meeting, and also read the syllabus) so you can participate in class discussion and actually gain the skills of analysis to prepare you for the LTs. It's very helpful to really do the readings even if you won't get quizzed on it because it's practice. Also, she gives less quizzes and more projects and groupworks. Also, don't be afraid to ask for a later deadline. As for projects, she made us do a video. And if you need to reserve a room, just send her a message to let her know but the english department secretary signs the reservation paper anyway so that's nice because they don't give you a hard time. There are certain things she looks for, so you really need to analyze well and provide evidence from the text for your analysis. I don't know how I did it, but I've always been good in English since grade school (long story of being bullied and burying myself in storybooks because it was better than reality). Also, it's helpful to look at the definitions of unknown words in the readings before class starts. All in all, I love her. She's so smart. Don't be lazy and actually do the readings because it really really helps. Group works and projects most of the time. I didn't have a problem with her ( I also need to flex my A here). I just had a problem with maybe a few poems cuz poetry is not my forte. But you really need to make an effort like reciting in class at least. (If you really don't know the answers to the questions, just volunteer to read the text when she asks who wants to read because that takes no brains to do and maybe just needs some acting skills.) Oh, she also likes tables in pptx haha. Like put your answers in a table and make it organized and neat. I also never got bored at her class because it was really interesting for me and engaging. I learnt so much from there that I can apply to my CW major haha.more
