Strict on ion signs, also hands out free points
mixed
Hello! I took Doc V's class not in Indus. Chem but in Principles of Chemistry (121.01). A. Grading Just like the majority of the profs in the chem and math dep't, their grading scheme is just score/total which can be advantageous and nerve-wracking at the same time. Now, if he's lenient on grading problem sets, he was a mix of both worlds. May mga times noon na ma-miss mo lang 'yung sign or charge ng isang ion, minus 2-4 points na kaagad. Meron din namang times na trip niya lang mamigay ng free points. There was this problem set na binigay niya lang for the LOLs tapos lahat kami naka-30/30 doon. B. Ability to Teach He is one of the senior profs in chem, so his ability to teach is a no brainer. Kahit na nag-ABM ako noong SHS, the way he taught it was exceptional and he tries his best in explaining it kahit online. There were concepts na sobrang hirap i-describe/visualize, pero nagagawan niya ng paraan na i-explain nang maayos 'to (I remember he described thermodynamics as a bank would never forget). Now to clear your doubt about any of these, he worked in the tire industry as a chemist so that makes him more than fit to teach industrial chem + he was the mentor before for chemistry education for chem majors' research. He certainly knows what he is teaching and more importantly how to teach them. C. Workload Not very heavy. Promise this is just like face-to-face classes where you sometimes go to the zoom room and just listen to him. He just had 3 Long Tests (~100 pts. each) 3 problem sets (30 pts. each, one prob set was the LOLed one where he freely gave away points), and a comprehensive finals (150 pts). He regularly reuses the questions from the Long Test onto the finals so just review that as well as his material. Just to note on his workload sometimes the amount of points in the assessments, and the amount of assessments themselves aren't final. He changed the number of LTs mid-sem as he deemed fit kasi kinilangan niya mag-focus sa isang topic, kaya less time and hence less LTs. Take what he puts in the syllabus with a grain of salt, but just know he does it for your good naman. Overall, 10/10 would take him again. He has that very fatherly vibe that recognizes that life's sufferings are inevitable but will try to ease up your burden as much as possible.more

Departmental LTs mix MC and problem solving
The LTs we had last year were departmental though (except for his finals) so Idk if he's gonna switch it up a bit this year. But what we had was a mix of multiple choice and problem solving! Study the concepts lang and try to attend the problem-solving classes (u still have those right?) and you're good to go!more
