Math profs generally do not curve, some do round up but it needs to be extremely close afaik. For Sir Gatpatan, I believe no (I had him last semester).

mixed

Sir Gatpatan is a fair grader in all of his classes so nope, no curving. Whatever you get is just what you get.

positive

Fortunately, no he doesn’t curve. Fair grader siya so you get what you deserve.

neutralMATH 21

a very lazy prof. i had him for Math 21 and he was life-changing in a bad way. doesn’t care about his students AT ALL and you can tell 😅

positiveMATH 30.13

had him for math 30.13 just last second sem! honestly he was a very sweet and understanding prof, teaches slow enough pero on time parin kayo sa timeline ng syllabus. he also solves problems with the class, and is very lenient even if you don’t understand what you’re doing. purely whiteboard-style teaching, so no ppts, but there are canvas modules uploaded naman. LT’s were kind of hard but manageable, and there were a few short quizzes in between. overall would take him again as he really helps you to understand the lesson and teaches you some neat tricks for the topic as well. cons lang are he’s not amenable to online classes, and hard to reach via email, so he’s definitely a prof you have to communicate with onsite. other than that, super bait and knows what he’s teaching!

negativeMATH 30.24

I took him last year, onsite. Let's just say he should be your last option if there are no other options for MATH 30.24 😭‼️. His lectures are purely going through problems, not much in tackling concepts. This means a TON of self-study would be beneficial in his classes (I was too busy last year, so...💀‼️). So, all I can say is, if you are confident in your skills with Calculus, and can be disciplined enough to self-study, then he would be an okay professor.more

positiveMATH 61.2

I took both Zosa and Gatpatan for MATH 61.2 and MATH 101.6, respectively. If you want a prof that curves (curve depends on his mood) but doesn't teach well, go Zosa. If you want someone that teaches slow but comprehensively with not out of this world test questions, go Gyattpatan.more

neutralMATH 21

Took Gatpatan for MATH 21, when he teaches, it’s like everything is in slow motion and you feel like you want to sleep in his class. he sometimes makes mistakes during his solutions as well Gabie, thoughts? HAHAHAHAmore

neutral

not better, but lesser evil - gatpatan

Carmen I was sleeping the whole time HAHAHAHA. He’s nice, and approachable, but the class can get quite boring at times. His calm, soft-spoken demeanor makes it a bit hard to stay alert. parang teddy bear vibes, which honestly made me sleepy sometimes HAHAHAmore

positive

You’ll be fine he’s a nice dude HAHAHA. I’ll leave a longer review later.

neutral

Thank u sm that's good to hear!! if i may ask a follow up... hehe: in terms of his tests, would you say that practicing w/ the book is sufficient? (math 31 has been using stewart calculus 9th ed.!) or does he give out canvas modules that reflect his question types better? ^__^more

positive

Mas maraming group assessments than individual assessments. But the tasks are easy/should be easy imo. Presentations here and there. Get good groupmates cause I didn't so it was a lot more hassle than it should have been HAHAHAH (except one groupmate, HAHAHA ily, you're solid). She doesn't do 11:59 pm deadlines kasi ayaw niya daw nagpupuyat kami sa reqs or something like that but tbh I found that more stressful cause 5pm deadlines niya sometimes and some of us had classes after hers or pauwi pa lang by 5pm. Easy A tho!!more

positive

I would like to add unto this lang. She's (eventually became) lenient naman with deadlines but is very strict lang with attendance. I had to attend 3 talab talks para lang I would not have absences for her subject HAHAmore

neutralMATH 30.13

Was a beadle for his class for Math 30.13! - personally, he explained our lessons well during our class, step by step! And u can always ask questions naman, +it helps if ur not late/absent -all his lessons are onsite, never online -he doesnt reply to emails at all 😭 or if he does it might be late -always take notes during class! he does not use ppt/computer/ digital learning stuff -alsoo for our class he was always on time so im not sure if same with other classes! -sadly he doesnt announce if asynch class :(( its best to ask the other section that he teaches if he was present during their class timemore

positiveMATH 21

not math 21, but i had him for math 30.24 during sophomore year, 1st sem: - very chill & approachable prof 👍 - usually arrives just on time; sometimes up to 5-10 minutes late ⌛️ - his lectures are moderately paced & does a lot of practice problems (solutions are written on the board afterwards) 📍 - make sure to listen, take down notes, & solve the practice problems so u Learn 📝 - he announces quizzes during/after class; no surprise quizzes iirc ❗️ - lenient in terms of giving out partial points for ur solutions in his exams ✅ - the assessments he gave were quizzes and departmental long tests (DLTs); quizzes can easily be prepared for but the DLTs are quite difficult ❗️ overall, he's one of the better math profs i've taken 👌more

neutralMATH 10

Never took Zosa but I had Gatpatan for Math 10. At least 50% of the sessions were free cuts and minsan day of lang namin nalalaman or even at the supposed start time so sayang yung paghintay after a long vacant or commute kung yun lang ang class 😆 that said he had a 1 month announced free cut and it felt great. I also did ok in his class but our class of ~30 produced at least 3 Fs and several other Ds which (imo) is a pretty high concentration of themmore

positive

got him for another math sub but in terms of teaching style, he teaches slow which i rlly appreciate! he gave out assignments which sums up 10% of our grade so big help if u r struggling 🥹 he’s very generous with partial points (one time i literally wrote the given and got like 3pts lol) he’s v considerate too and in my experience, is not too strict if you choose to have a different approach to the problem as long as you’re on the right track naman daw the only con is that his tests tend to be harder than his examples in class and he’s always late 😭 but overall, would recommend!more

mixed

She was my high school english teacher for grade 7, 8, 9. Class adviser for grade 8. Very strict (behavior and discipline-wise) and very religious. Favorite phrase was "be specific!". Always wants thesis statement (of an essay) to be the first sentence of the first paragraph. Very high standards for grading (so, grades [kinda or very] low [depending on your perspective]). Tho, this was all ~10 years ago (2012-2015) so things could've changed. College level teaching could also be different. Good luck!more
