Kind of late but I took him just this intersession. If this is the Sound Art Installation class (sorry di ko maalala class code), then he's a really great prof! The class is pretty technical because you have to learn how to use different apps and online tools such as Reaper (a DAW) but it's also a creative class so not super focused lang on the technical aspects. His assessments are spaced well so I didn't feel overwhelmed with the requirements. Choose good groupmates as well because most (if not all) of the major assessments are done as a group. Try to do all the bonus stuff, I think that really counts! I would say B+/A-able, and sir is really kind. I feel like this class would also be more fun during a regular semester, so have fun! 10/10 for Sir Amante :))more

Hello! Super late, but I'll share a different perspective since I took the class in the first sem What Helena said about Sir Amante is correct, he is very approachable, kind, fun, and informative (since he is an audio engineer). I will also agree on the fact that the class can get technical because of the new software esp if you're not familiar with DAWs used in sound production. However, if you are taking it in a semestral pace, I believe you can learn the basics before the major outputs (some YouTube tutorials pati yung mga supplementary material na binibigay ni sir is guds na) Workload was bigger since semestral yung setup namin: - at most it was 2 quizzes - individual recording assignments - Sound Blueprint Project (group) - Sound Manipulation Project (group) - Sound Recording Project (group) Semestral set up, so medyo may leeway kami with time and due dates. B+/A-able with effort! Tip: try to find something interesting to share sound-wise kasi it will help you in class participation and if sir still does it, he has this leaderboard thing that will bump up your grade if you placed in that leaderboard :3more

[Sound art] I took sound art just this (ay 23-24) intersession. Given that sound art is an interdisciplinary elective, no coding is involved if that is your main concern. For intersession sched, we met 3x a week on campus and once a week for synch. He discusses the lectures well and we have a canvas quiz after each module. The lectures are a bit technical (think of it as a STS or ArtAp level of technical), it isn't hard but you'd have to listen to his lectures. He also plays YT vids to supplement the class discussions. He also made us record sound from our environment (city and nature (nature being in campus)) and share them in class. The final project was done by group (can't really expound much on this since I took the class for my graduate degree and our final project was a bit more challenging) it was fun though. The class was very light and fun. The reqs are also not that heavy. Find yourself good groupmates though and just enjoy the class.more
