Hii! Make sure to read all the readings before class! And I mean really dooo because if you cant answer his question he can make you go out of the classroom! Yes that has happened to two people in my class 😅 He randomly shuffles the index cards to call on you 🤣 also his pet peeve is when people use the bathroom especially if your class is right after a break! I had him during my first sem and oh boy not freshie friendly 🥲 although if you put in effort you can probably get a B in his class! Also participate a lot!! He can come off as intimidating but you can survive!more

had him for fili 12.1, he can be pretty strict and nitpicky with assessments but he's really passionate and knowledgeable about the subject matter! not an easy A but his discussions are engaging and the amount of learning you'll get will be worth it. he can be kind of tough on you if you don't have a strong background in filipino (aka my entire class with him as this was the FNFS program) but if you have good groupmates and work hard you'll grow a lot in his class.more

Passionate prof, but vapes sometimes in class. Also, don’t get behind on the readings because it can pile up

for the character development, get him 😎

GOAT! A-able. Palagi kang sumagot sa klase para maalala ka niya!

overall good prof and b+/b-able with effort as long as you read the readings. very open with several interpretations of the text, but his quizzes are very objective so gl. can be intimidating but only because he’s passionate about what he teaches. said he doesn’t curve but everyone ended up w higher grades than expected because of the bonus points he offered to the class like attending art exhibits and watching plays, so try getting all the bonus pts u can. good luck!more

Copy-pasting my previous post: leaving this here since i dont see a lot of comments about this prof. disclaimer: this is just our experience with him as a professor and our personal opinions. had him for the first sem this year and i dont know if it was just our class but our experience with sir gloria was quite different from previous comments. in terms of readings, he gave long readings and a lot of the time were super hard to decode even for full-speaking filipinos (so it was even harder for classmates who were not well-versed in the language). it became super demotivating to study filipino, a subject i typically enjoyed. short quizzes were also difficult. we had one every week or every other week, multiple presentations, 2 essay-type long tests, and a very very challenging objective exam in the end of the sem. in terms of grading, he is quite harsh. not really a-able. b-able with extra effort. realistically, a c. although i agree he is passionate, it was very overwhelming having him as a prof. if u have daddy issues, maybe consider load rev because he's very tough. nevertheless, i passed his class (pasang awa). he's super knowledgeable about the stuff he teaches tho so you'll definitely learn something. he gives lots of bonus points too, so attend them all (they're usually films, plays, events, etc) despite how time consuming they are (a lot of them ended at night). also, try reading your assigned readings in groups and don't forget to take note of details you may think are unnecessary. he asks for the author sometimes. overall, this subject was so stressful (i had anxiety just entering it 😂 and it got to a point where i was more stressed over filipino than calculus) hope this helps! goodluck ❤️more

hi anon! try searching for more reviews for sir jc, may mahahanap k nmn d2!! had him for fili 12 (panitikan ng pilipinas) so there were a lot of readings!! not sure if it's the same for fili 11 but yes since every class may bagong reading kami, mabigat tlg. honestly, binasa k lahat ng readings niya pero medyo scan scan lang ganorn, di q naman talaga inintindi masyado. so pagdating nung exam, bagsak bagsak ak HAHAHAHA AS IN TIPONG 9/25 😭 and depende s trip niya, pero minsan puro memorization tlg kelangan s exam niya so take note of that! pero minsan essay haha strict sha dun pero napapagod din sha kakacheck after 1-2 essay-based exams (kase ampapanget daw magsulat ng lahat HAHAHA) anyw kahit puro bagsak ak s exam, nakabawi naman ak thru recit! as in kada klase cguro nakaka 2 or more times ak nagrerecit HAHDHSHA yapper kase aq but yes he curves a bit and im fairly confident he will bump u from a C+ to a B+ if u recite a lot (i2 ata nangyari saken HSHDHAHQ)! also ginawa q lahat ng bonus so yes dont skip a single one HAHAHA tldr; A-able for sure! just study, recite lots, and do ALL bonus activities (thank u sa pag-tag Kate mwa)more
