Just had his class and honestly it isnt too bad! I come from a Chinese International School and my filipino is below par, that is why when I took his class, at first I was really nervous. However, as time went on I really enjoyed his lessons, and even though he uses deep Filipino during his lectures. Also, he doesnt count cuts, I cut around 10 times and he never reminded me about them HAHAHAHA. Also didnt study for any exams and missed so many pre/lectos, still got a C. Im pretty sure he curves like crazy. Good luck, I recommend him if you don’t get your first choice Philo prof!!more

Hi currently taking his PHILO 12 class (FIL), so far okay naman 😊 I think yung hinahanap ni sir is paano mo mapaghahalo-halo yung Canvas pages, readings, and lecture niya. ‘Wag mo lang basta ulitin yung sinabi niya sa class, kailangan maintindihan mo talaga yung objective ng tinuturo niya. Honestly, madalas di ko natatapos yung reading niya pero pumapasa naman ako sa exams niya! If u are not confident with Filipino, he’s good sa lecture kasi dinadigest niya talaga yung readings. One of the lenient philo profs out there, he understands if u connect online sa class if may transport strike or bagyo (lalo yung commuter ka!), pwede maggadget (wag lang phone, pwede laptop or tablet), and takes attendance usually 30 mins after the class starts. Cons: Mataas talaga standards niya pero di naman imposible maka-4 sa iba niyang tasks. Mabilis siya magsalita kaya goodluck magnotes, ambilis niya magtransition from one point to another kaya dapat mabilis ka din magtype jusq 😭 Just a pro tip: If confident ka sa Filipino, choose orals repetitio kesa sa written, imo mas mataas siya maggrade sa orals repetitio 😁 Tasks: - 1 exam per module (short exam lang online, sometimes project) - 25% - Groupwork + individual work - 25% - Mapagmuning Papel - 20% - Final orals - 30% As long as you study and atleast skimmed the readings, kaya naman siya ma-B/B+. Need more effort to get A 😁more

Make sure to strictly stick sa readings when writing papers. He gets frustrated when you reference materials outside his given readings. Not sure if he's like this to non-philo majors tho. Also, he doesn't like it when you make your own thought experiments/analogies on papers, won't even explain where you got it wrong, basta DON'T daw. BTW, he also grades attendance. And you can't come out of classroom once you enter because it's disruptive daw. Also make sure to atleast try to speak Filipino even tho you're not fluent. He would appreciate it.more

Althea thank u so much for this rlly appreciate it!! — have a few follow up qs lang huhu • how is he grading wise (w/ moderate to maximum effort) 🥹 • can we use gadgets in class (saw that most philo profs don’t allow it kasi) • and am a bit confused if he has orals…more

Anonymous member 1. the usual mean for our outputs back then (based on canvas) are always around 2.5. he's also kinda nitpicky haha 💀 when he says one page, you really have to fit it in there or else, may deduction. he also doesn't accept late outputs. he told us noon na automatic F (?) unless you have super valid reason. 2. yea, you can naman. 3. we had orals noon, and you go with your groupmates (but solo yung orals). you just have to go together because ateneo have this rule na a professor and a student cannot be left alone together daw. but if you're not comfy, you can let him know and he's willing to do special arrangements naman. He's really passionate in philo, and sana mafeel mo yon in his class (one of the few pros huhu). He's also very open to questions, so don't hesitate to ask. Just avoid comparing philosophers to fictional characters bcs he kinda gets triggered there, lalo na if absurd huhu. It will be very obvious if he gets pissed with your question or recit so 🥲🥲more

Hi, I took Dr. Strebel for PHILO 12 last 2023–2024 Sem 1. Requirements 1. Module assessments (25%) - 2 of them were online essay quizzes, 1 was a short paper, and 1 is tied to the finals. There are no graded activities done during class. 2. Summary/Reporting (10%?) - Every end of class, he asks two students to volunteer (or if none, he picks them). One student writes a summary of the previous class discussion and submits it the day after, and the other prepares an oral report of the previous class discussion and reports during the next class. - There are more summary/reporting opportunities than the number of students, so when everyone is finished doing one of them, you can volunteer or get picked for a second one, but he gets the higher grade among those two. 3. Group Reporting (15%?) - you choose a group with people who took the same PHILO 11 track as you and report about a reading (that is not discussed in class, but is related to the current module being discussed) 4. Reflection Paper (20%) - there are two movies that he will give you around 3/4 into the semester. you're supposed to reflect on one of them (but prioritize writing about your own experience, not summarizing or squeezing concepts discussed) 5. Finals (30%) - at the start of the sem you'll submit an (ungraded) essay about a question you have about god/religion then for finals you'll discuss via an oral presentation about how your perspective changed/widened, based on the class materials. Others - The class is generally not very participative (maybe since there is no participation grade) - Sir speaks quite slowly in class, but he chooses his words carefully, so malaman and thought-provoking yung discussion niya - Sir posts his video lectures from online class which are good summaries - Sir is an etymology nerd which I enjoyed since I also am one - There are a total of 5 readings only (plus the one you have to read for the report) - There is an ungraded quiz that you have to take at the start of the module before you go to the next parts, it is just one question (mcq or fill in the blank) about the reading (there are 5 attempts) Main con lang talaga with him is, being the dept chair, he has very high standards (but I know someone who got an A). Plus he also grades on intervals of 0.5 lang (so ang laki ng hatak). Wala ring qualitative feedback (he gives back just a number sooo you don't really know where you particularly made a mistake) There's supposedly a criteria for grading in his syllabus but he seems to not follow it. I think he just thinks of the grade and just finds the correct score per criteria (pm me for more info). I think he's B to B+ able, A is hard. I don't know if there will still be batching next sems, but he's ok na for a batch 2 pick. You could end up with worsemore

Doc PJ is very kind and lenient. He makes philo of religion relevant and relatable to all (believers and non believers alike). They know their stuff so don't be afraid to ask clarificatory questions. The class might seem boring because (i assume) people are hesitant to participate using filipino. But there is genuine insight behind every lecture. Just be responsible with your readings and get good groupmates and you should be fine! Easy B/B+, A with lots of effort to understand the readings and apply them properlymore

Hi! Just adding lang to what Sted said here (since he's also my prof for Philo 12 last sem) (1) For the group reporting, make sure na you guys know the content of what you are reporting and hindi lang basta memorization. He knows kung ang sinasabi mo ay of quality or just plain bs. Also, be confident sa pagrereport. Fluency in Filipino is a big +++. Get good groupmates because that reporting comprises 12.5% of your final grade. (2) He's A-able (despite me only having read half of the readings, not joking). I think ung hinahanap niya sa quizzes is more on your skills in tying up lessons he discussed sa onsite class + readings + canvas in such a way na hindi siya parroting. you gotta need to understand what the lessons are trying to teach/impose (3) Medj boring yet though-provoking ang onsite class niya. I always tell to my friends na papasok ako sa class niyang sabog at inaantok pero lalabas na gusto pa ng another hour to listen to his discussions. (4) Give your best sa outputs. Don't bs them--he will know it naman, anyways. Also, give your best sa last three outputs [Mapagmuning Papel, Orals, Mapa]---these three will dictate kung ano magiging final standing mo sa class niya (5) Great choice of readings. Also, para akong nag-take rin ng another 3-unit course ng Language since he's inserting some info/facts about etymology (which I appreciated din) (6) Andami niyang baon na kaalaman. He really knows what he's teaching. (7) If you are confident sa Filipino language, choose the orals repetition than written. tl;dr: very A-able with effort, just be confident with your report. don't bs your work. understand the topics >> parrot/ repeat them. taking his class is very worth it naman for me 🙂more
