Chill and great prof, relatively light workload

Chill and great prof! Teaching: able to break down complex concepts into simple ones, likes to crack jokes to ease the class a bit, has quirky slides and u can tell he’s very passionate about fishes 🐟 Workload: relatively light — quizzes (lecture and journal), LTs, presentation and iirc participation was also graded. You can get a good grade with the quizzes and LTs if u just study the ppt since it’s very objective (with some analysis questions but if u have good foundation on the topic it’s easy to answer). Read the journals thoroughly for the quizzes since they can be quite long and technical. For presentations, try not to read off a script and just be organized and concise, it’s a matter of show not tell (e.g. instead of tabling results, you can opt to just graph it instead) He gives out a lot of bonus points also during the quizzes and LTs that can go up to 5! For the finals, he made us wear a silly hat while taking the exam and that automatically gives you 5 points bonus 😆 he also gave us the possible essay questions in advanced which ended up all being part of the exam but he’s p strict with essay answers but he gives out partial points! Very A-able as long as you study the powerpoints, the journals and listen in class. Sir’s also very approachable and kind so if you’re having a hard time you can just send him an email for consultation and he replies quick :))more

Considerate, structured, strict with formats
positive
- Retake?Yes
VOUCH!!! absolutely the best prof for me!! i beadled for him for genetics lab and you won't believe how considerate he is, even to the most demanding asks we have—he really understands or tries to understand his students. the most striking moment for me was when odette hit and his first words are for the affected students to not worry about his subject at all no matter how long it will take them. content-wise, he structures his lessons in such a way where you get the basics, then the deeper lessons will just follow. you can see how he really wants you to know what he's talking about. sometimes he even takes his time to discuss even the topics that a student should've known at that stage. the only downside (but not really) is how strict he is with formats, make sure to check his instructions especially if you have papers. but the thing is, you can just simply ask him and 99% of the time he will answer (he's a night owl too so message him around the end of his working hours bc i think that's where he is active the most)more

A-able Zoology Lab with fun lectures
positive
- Retake?Yes
- 4.0 attainableYes
I had him for Zoology Lab and all I can say is: WOW. Sobrang A-able if you review everything. He mostly shows everything in a powerpoint (which i don’t think he gives ata pero the stuff discussed were the stuff discussed din naman for zoology lec so am okay) kaya take notes if you can. He includes informative pics and gifs as well para mas madaling maintindihan ang lesson. He’s a fan of RuPaul’s Drag Race, so makikita mo sila sa powerpoints (usually to reference smth HAHAHA) He gives tests and quizzes. Tests are B-A able while quizzes are A-able basta u just study everything he teaches. He’s also very approachable too and his classes are fun. Overall, he’s A-able (promise).more

Passionate and funny, quizzes simple, LTs trickier
positive
- Retake?Yes
- LeniencyYes
love him! you can tell he's really passionate about teaching and he doesn't just read off the slides. he always has some metaphor to better explain a concept. he's really funny too and class is never boring! as for assessments his quizzes are simple mcq, t or f, or identification and he always has a bonus question about pop culture. his long tests can be a bit tricky since its a lot of true or false and a lot of short response (there's no mcq) he also gives so many bonus points!!more
