Anonymous member 148 Are the F's actually for those that got super super low? Do you know of some who got F's supposedly but got curved to at least a D?

positive

Anonymous member generally expect one per meeting, but sometimes he won't give a quiz if we didn't cover enough material during the class or if he feels like we're going too fast. the quizzes just total into one big grade at the end of the sem which is a chunk of your final grade. if you cut and there's a quiz, you'll get 0. i think he would be lenient if you message in advance with a good reason, but I'm not sure about thatmore

his classes don’t simulate the thrill of real world law classes so if you’re someone who’s up for the challenge, then he may not be for you but tbh i think he’s the chillest prof out there. he could be scary at first cause he had this thing where he made students read the ppt slide out loud, then asked us to turn around and recite the provision word per word (we couldn’t sit up until we got it right). though succeeding recitations were relatively chill bc we just read the ppt and were asked for our opinions. he’s also the type to call other students to affirm or reject the answer u gave and why. i highly suggest u to get the book because it gives you so much advantage esp when he calls u to recite cause he’d ask situations that are literally on the book. assessment wise, we had two exams which were t or f lang naman but it could get tricky since he’d modify words in the provision that u tend to overlook so be very meticulous. pay attention to his examples in class since those come out on exams. my take on his assessments may be biased because i genuinely love law and case readings so although he assigned 60+ pages per meeting, i didn’t mind as much but it could be taxing for some cause sometimes he’d assign 100+ readings for a 5 point quiz so you’d be forced to read and understand everything 😭 for the final project, we were required to make a contract for our assigned industry and review contracts of other groups which i found rlly fun cause i alr have experience with handling my fam’s business contracts. he also remembers you if you perform well or aced his tests. i didn’t expect him to recognize me even after a couple sems when we bumped into eo 😭 overall, he’s definitely a able tho idt he’s the type to curve (or maybe just a little?) but idk anyone who got an F at least in my class.more

the goat!! he is very nice and welcoming to all students as long as he can see you put in the effort. he doesn't allow gadgets in class afaik and he may move through topics a bit slowly but the classes are very doable. he is very open to taking questions and will take time to answer all of them. like the other post says, he does give objective type quizzes almost every session and they total to a chunk of your grade (1/4 for us). for exams, sir loves objective type questions, particularly true or false. I don't think we had a single essay type question in any quiz/LT the entire semester. not sure if sir curves, but your exams will have some obvious throwaway questions that are there to boost your grade. I ended up with a b+ which i think was pretty standard for the classmore

positiveLLAW 113

had him for OBLICON LLAW 113 had sir valdez for 2 semesters and all i can say is he got stricter w his rules — he changed a bit. but overall still super chill. his recit is by seating arrangement and makes you read from the book. you have a quiz every session true or false but if in previous sems your seat mate checks your paper, this time he checks it himself. for midterm and finals there was a true or false portion and theres a case study portion which he can get particular with. he doesn’t grade too high for case study unless you get what he’s looking for exactly. average of our class was around C+,B but he curved and people got As. he does give Fs though.more

positive

yeah!! i computed and supposedly a B! but i think since i’d get the highest scores or one of the highest he made me B+ he computes with you about halfway thru the sem to see ur expected grade!! actu let me edit my post bc i think he curves just a litttttle bit def no A for anyone tho and YES he gives Fs but its really for those people who get like…1/5 on every testmore
