Love her, light class, picky journal grades
positive
- Retake?Yes
- LeniencyNo
super love ma'am<3333 [took her onsite intersession '23-'24; PNTKN 149.03i] > SETUP: - We always had onsite sessions but sometimes she makes it asynch naman so we could rest and use the time to watch the assigned movies. - Even though the class is in Filipino, the discussion is very encouraging naman and light! Don't need to speak in full Filipino (except for reqs). > WORKLOAD & GRADING: - (5) Journal Entries (15%): Every week, you're tasked to write a journal and pass it onsite. Basically, you'll write lang about what you've learned that week from class and connect it to ur personal experience. Although this one's the type where u rlly reflect naman and effort pero she still gives a low grade and has lots of comments in ur paper HAHAHHA, mostly I saw people get 3.00-3.50 but very possible din naman to get 4.00! - (4) Pangkatang Gawain (40%): You have to write about 2 movies and connect them to gender and sexuality. Sometimes you have to prsent in class but sometimes written on paper depends sa trip HAHAHA. *5-8 mins *movies tho sometimes hard to understand cus super old na and low qual - (1) Final Paper (25%): By group (u can go indiv also), you have to choose one pop culture it can be a movie, paper, or what then u just do the same in the grpworks connect it to gender and sexuality. - Class Participation: This one's 20% of the final grade so make sure to recite a lot pero it's easy lang naman w/ ma'am cus she's vibes and the atmosphere in class is rlly encouraging for sharing ur opinions!:> > TEACHING STYLE: - Ma'am's rlly passionate and tries her best to make the class engaging! Relates everything to pop culture so discussion's light and intersting. Basta super love and vibes lang<3333 Never got bored tbh - Gives out A LOT of comments and suggestions to ur reqs OVERALL, very A-able<3 (w/ effort) she gave (1) bonus work where u can get ur lowest grade to a 4.00, also made one of our grp work and one journal perfect na rin for showing effort HAHA,, I'd say the reqs were pretty heavy cus marami:( but it's pretty light naman (not to the point u'll end up researching a lot). vvv impactful, will take ma'am again if I could! cc:more

Fun FILI 11, fair but particular on technicality
positive

Hello! She's a really really good prof. I took her for FILI 11 last year (1st SEM SY 22-23) and it's one of the classes na I had most fun. Since classes are ongoing, I think you've seen her syllabus na if you're taking her so I won't discuss assessments. In terms of grading, she is a bit particular on both technicality and content but her grading is always fair. I think her attention to detail is what makes her a good research prof. Her assessments are in tagalog, so if you struggle in writing in tagalog you might wanna consider getting a tutor to proofread your work. She also provides a lot of helpful feedback and provides suggestions on how to make your outputs better and more in depth. Her discussions are always fun and she encourages everyone to share their own thoughts and opinions. Her discussions on ph pop culture made me thoroughly enjoy the class. In terms of language, it's okay if you suck at speaking tagalog. Whenever you recite, she won't he mad if you stutter of even speak in taglish. Though she speaks in tagalog most of the time, she doesnt like it when an english word is forced to be tagalog so you dont have to be pretentious either As long as you understand what she's saying, I think you're good to go. If by chance you cant understand something, you can always consult her. She's very nice and helpful. Overall, just do your best in papers and dont be afraid to recite : >more

Kind, organized, and fun, take consultations
positive

Hi! Ma’am is really kind and enthusiastic in class. Her lectures and reading materials are quite interesting and easy to understand, even if you aren’t the best at Filipino. They’re fun to watch/read too! Her assessments are mostly group works for big projects like papers or presentations, then she gives short quizzes on-site based on the readings. She’s very open and considerate, and I really noticed that she genuinely likes to talk about the lessons she teaches and the topics you present to her. Take advantage of consultations so you know how to flesh out your work! Overall, a really organized and fun class that hopefully won’t stress you out so much amidst your majors and other classes!more

You won't find a more passionate teacher for Fili 11

You won't find a more passionate teacher for Fili 11. She always gives her 100% in class and makes sure you understand the lesson (especially if you're not good at Filipino). Make sure to recite a lot, she likes that. Read the readings and watch the assigned media. She gives high grades if you show that you that you understand the material and give your comments about it (even if it is different from her comments). She likes it especially when you connect the concepts to other relevant topics. Consult with her on how you can improve your work so you get a higher grade.more

took ma'am anne twice in two different FILI subjects and I 10/10 would recommend! I'm not great at filipino but the way that she teaches this class made it easy for me to grasp the concepts + the bonus assessments helped my grade a lot. shes very accommodating w/ deadlines and gives pointers if you're struggling with the material. B/B+ able with effort.more

I'd take her again, only Filipino class I didn't dread
positive
- Retake?Yes
can vouch for the comment above^ i had her in 2021 pa but tbh i'd take her again if i could! she really knows her thing and keeps up with pop culture trends talaga (i think that was the topic of the paper? sorry i don't remember it that well na haha). overall the class was vv interesting! tbh this was the only Filipino subj i didn't dread lol also an added tip: maximize your consultations with her cos she really tells you specifically what's lacking pa in ur group paper. it'd also be helpful if u get good groupmates since afaik the group paper was our heaviest req in class!more
