Really good prof. She's very organized when she teaches and she also provides all her ppts. There are many reqs tho such as app logs, individual presentation and research paper pero kaya naman cuz she grades high. For extra points, just do her thought starters. It's possible to get a B+ but if you want A put in more effort hehe.more

Hi just wanted to write about my experience with ma'am Vaswani as a prof for online class cause I'm guessing it's different from the experience of her students who had her for physical class. Honestly it was great and I don't think she could have conducted the online classes any better. She used canvas and of course we would have a lot of material to read and watch (though it's a very fair amount for a class) but at the same time despite it being online there was a lot of interaction (with the comments and such). Whenever she would give feedback it would be in a good amount of time and very comprehensive. All in all despite the class being online I enjoyed it a lot, especially compared to my other online class experiences. With her class I no doubt felt like she no doubt did her best to make the most out of online learning while with my other online class profs I can't exactly say the same.

I had her for com11!! She's a super good teacher hehe grades fairly! just participate and do your work well, you'll do great Nicole!

positiveCOM 11

Had her for Com 11, a good teacher who really knows her stuff! Had a lot of requirements (weekly graded reflection posts, quizzes for new lessons, etc) so her class wasn't as chill, but overall she's really approachable and nice. Mind you, she grades fairly though. She will email you a breakdown of your grades at the end of the sem and she doesn't curve (from what I know). You'll get the letter grade based on her grading system in the syllabus. Got an A from her! I feel she's an easy B-B+, but if you put in the work, A is very attainable.more

positiveCOM 11

I had her for com 11 super approachable and passionate prof. She may have a lot of work but there’s always bonus work so u don’t have to worry about getting high grades. She’s A-able honestly! Take her if I were you 😉more

currently taking him rn! if you want to learn something for fun or want a light class take him!! for reqs we only had - 1 20-minute presentation (by pair) - 3 seatworks - 1 final paper he chooses to hold his classes through hybrid set up (so both onsite and online) so its rlly chill!!more

positive

Currently taking this class so this is based on my experience so far! -Class is mostly online, with onsite sessions every few weeks lang. -He doesnt give the power points out so you have to take notes (or screenshots) during class cause the papers are based on the lectures. -Sir tends to give ALOT of examples and tends to ramble about them, he also randomly calls people to give examples. But he also makes sure that you understand the lesson based on the examples being given. -Theres no canvas work (readings, discussion boards) and the class only has 5 requirements which are papers. The papers are basically you answering the prompt and giving examples to support it. -Grading-wise he gives fairly high naman, but he doesnt give feedback on what you could improve on. Overall a pretty chill class (sir himself said he tries to make it as chill as possible) with a prof thats kinda fun Lolo vibes but you arent going to learn anything mind-blowing.more

Sir is great! I enjoyed his classes because he has interesting insights on various topics. He’s also chill and treats his students like adults. There are barely any reqs for the class. Other than a reflection paper and the NSTP project, you have to do two presentations on readings in the syllabus. He’s pretty chill when it comes to grading and he’s not particular about your presentations. He doesn’t do long lectures, instead, he talks a bit after each person does their presentation. If you’d rather learn from your prof than your classmates’ presentations, you might not like this, but personally I found that presenting the topics helps the class understand the lessons firsthand. Overall I appreciated sir and I wish I could have another class with him! He’s super nice.more

positiveCOMM 20

She is the GOAT. Never wanted to miss a single one of her classes, which is nice kasi in COMM 20 you're going over around 28 different communication theories. If I remember correctly, other than the readings, we never had any homeworks or quizzes. Her readings are long pero so worth it na basahin. And even if you didn't read them, she'll be summarizing them naman in her PowerPoint slides (she posts them too, which is so convenient). Kind and understanding when it comes to questions and deadlines as long as there is communication (hehe), and even in requirements like critical essays and discussion leaderships, we're always reaching out to her to ask and clarify things, and she's always happy to lend a hand. She'd even go so far as to share you references and journal articles that she'd think might help you. Always a lifesaver whenever I get stuck on an essay topic and I couldn't find a single article about it, haha! Make sure to read all of her comments in whatever assignment/major requirement you have kasi guarantee na they will help you improve a lot, essay o discussion leadership pa man yan.more

positiveCOMM 20

had her for COMM 20 and COMM 21 and LOVED HER!!! She's really nice and chill!! She uploads her powerpoints and the readings/material in advanced so take advantage >< Also her powerpoints usually summarizes the readings though so if you don't read them you'll be fine. Her reqs can be tedious but very rewarding once you're done with them 🤣 It's usually 2 critical papers (1 for midterms and another for finals) and then 2 grp presentations both for COMM 20 and COMM 21. She usually brings the major reqs up in advanced; she was the first one to give us a midterm but longg deadlines. Her feedback from previous submissions also made me improve my writing skills!! When I submitted my first critical paper she left clear and valuable feedback so definitely used it everytime I submitted something. All in all, enjoyed her class and would definitely enlist in it again if she was teaching another subjectmore
