VOUCH!
VERY VERY CONSIDERATE.
Synchronous sessions are useful for clarifications, but I'd suggest staying loyal to the required reading (Kring and Johnson) for most of the course. Treat that book as your bible chz.
Put effort also in furnishing your final requirement. She really focuses on checking this since it comes in parts, but she also provides comments naman to guide you nonetheless. Try to schedule consultations if you can.
Assessments would more or less require you to look into cases mentioned in the book and in other references. They're not too easy, but also not too hard at times. The course, after all, is designed for you to look into nuances of Psychological disorders that often coincide with one another so that's something that you need to look into in general.
Preferred for Batch 2 peeps. A-able.more
Hi! Got Ma'am Joey for 2nd Sem (as Batch 2 🥲) and she's an AMAZING prof. Would retake her again if I had the chance :>
For class, you will be asked to do a number of requirements:
- 1 group case study (draft + sync presentation + final slides/paper)
- 1 group reviewer about a particular chapter of the Kring & Johnson book (but dw there will be 4 submissions for the different sections of the reviewer)
- 1 group service-learning project paper (for NSTP 12)
- 5-6 learning checks (final one being a long, comprehensive exam)
- around 3 graded discussion boards (with some optional ones)
- 1 individual Thought Paper (a bit related to NSTP)
At first glance, it may seem like a lot, but promise it's super doable! Her deadlines are very reasonable and if your class needs an extension, she's usually accommodating naman.
Would suggest lang na you get good groupmates since you'll be working with them for 3 major requirements (NSTP grpmates are not necessarily your case study/reviewer grpmates btw since by pairs/triads yung latter).
And as Franco already said in another comment, please PLEASE read the Kring & Johnson book!! Legit it will help you understand the lessons, since not everything can be discussed in sync class. Just make sure to read ahead of time because the chapters are quite long 😅. Additionally, her learning checks tend to be about application-based cases and specific details mentioned in the book and/or in her sync class discussion, so pls read and attend class as much as possible.
Overall, she's very kind and B+/A-able!! Just do your best to understand what makes each disorder different from each other, and start early on your work, so you don't get too overwhelmed. 🙂more

updated review!!
rlly enjoyed her class hehe i rlly like her insights/kuwento abt her work and she rlly gives you additional info to work with!
some tips:
- attend her classes!😭 MAKE SURE YOU read before them. our mondays were always asynch for reading so ur expected to come to class prepared! The final exam had questions from class discussions which i believe werent really in her modules
- recite during said classes. Ma’am is rlly madaldal n passionate which is great HAHAH but it’s hard to follow unless u rlly make an effort to engage hehe also she gets carried away din😅 kaya interrupting her helpsmore
