Last resort: he reads slides, you learn from videos
negative
- Retake?No
long SY 25-26 intersession review incoming! [my recommendation] • take him as a last resort, because you will learn only from watching too many videos about the topic. [teaching] • it is sometimes impossible to stay awake in his class because he has a soft voice and reads only from the slides • pacing of the class is either very slow or very fast. so if he asks for help setting up slides, help him 😅 • some slides are not projected, so print your slides or bring an ipad to annotate • okay naman vibes niya except for the occassional weird takes • participate in class, because class recitation brings your grade up. and also because gusto ni sir ng kausap XD [exams and assessments] • if he tells you to take notes, **take notes**. the examination material comprises of the slides that he will provide + his commentary on the slides • you can open *printed* notes for 5-10 minutes of the 120-minute LTs • long tests are painstakingly long. the content is all in the slides, but you have to write a lot • LTs are composed of 20 short answers (1 word to 2 sentences), 5-6 essay or graphing questions (6 sentences max), and 2 application questions (free length). bonus points are dependent on the materials he sends in canvas. your hands will hurt • might provide bonus credit in the form of an additional assessment (our batch, it was around ~8%) [grading] • grades on the "padamihan ng masusulat" standard, so if he tells you to write a lot of things, write every economic principle that you can think of • group grades feel a bit arbitrary since he does not have rubrics for group assessments — he believes in "if tama ang sagot, eh di tama ang sagot" • you will have groupmates (randomly assigned), so make sure to talk with them well • peer evaluation should be unequal for all members (e.g. you can't give all of your groupmates 20/20 for a certain rubric, kailangan 20, 19, 18, 17) [letter grade] • A to B with effort • C+ to C with minimum effortmore

hi! we currently have yaptangco as our econ 110 prof. he’s quite a chill and nice teacher and we dont really have much classes because we meet once a week lang. lectures are all just reading off the ppt and his voice is quite soft so make sure to sit infront. tests have specific times where u can open notes. he’s very approachable and open to consultationsmore
