One of the most unforgettable and kind profs, he’s so passionate about his work you feel encouraged to work for an A and study talaga
Tips:
• Get a filipino dictionary if you struggle with tagalog, he allows it in his tests
• Start with a poem structure analysis (if it’s a poem), summary of the text, then what the text teaches (salawikain) -> This structure helped me get A’s constantly
• When doing analysis, make intertextual references and parallels to Filipino literature (like Jose Rizal works or works in his syllabus), bible, online articles
• When analyzing, describe the scenario/ character/ object, then what it implies, and why they chose to imply it that way
• Also include who is speaking in the text and who it’s speaking to
• He really gets your ⚙️ cogs turning so please participate and appreciate him!!<3more

WARNING: MAGULONG REVIEW AHEAD
Tl;dr: overhated prof that you’ll learn a lot from and he’s honesty goated but don’t expect an easy A from him because he REALLY wants to see how you interpret the literature. He really wants to see the quality of your work not just sa content, but also on your proper use ng wikang Filipino. Regardless, he’ll always be my fav Fil prof. WALANG MAKAKATALO KAY DOC COROZA!!!!!
Expect some heavy and in-depth analysis on symbolisms, representations, parallels, archetypes, morals, etc. of various Filipino literature. It’s not enough to give surface level info about the literature or things that can easily be Googled. One thing that I love about sir is his visible interest to see unique perspectives on literatures. He’s not like “I gave you a low score because your analysis didn’t match my analysis of the poem.” He’s really interested to have different insights about a literature. ALSO, HE READS YOUR WHOLE PAPER TALAGA AND HE IS VERY MUCH WILLING TO GIVE YOU FEEDBACK ON YOUR WORK.
Expect that you’ll be yapping a lot sa papers mo. His page or word limits aren’t really rigid. “Kapag marami kang alam, marami kang masusulat.” So expect maybe mga 1000+ words per output. My longest output was 2538 words.
Do note din na “bilang sa kamay” yung times na he gave out an A sa students niya, and he’s been teaching for like 20+ years so yeah, you really have to work hard kasi he’s not an easy pass prof. But promise, you’ll learn a lot from him especially on the proper usage of wikang Filipino. But trust me, you’ll learn it the hard way
Also super fun sa class! He sings and he knows so much poems by memory. Ramdam mo talaga yung emotions niya when he sings or recites poems! but don’t expect lecture type of discussions kasi mostly parang podcast siya.
Also he’s not that strict naman. He’s actually my chillest prof when I had him before. Really considerate prof! (BASTA DON’T ASK TO SHIFT ONLINE BC HE DOESN’T LIKE ONLINE CLASSES). I know he seems intimidating but he’s a really kind and chillax prof! 😎
PLEASE TAKE CARE OF DOC COROZA FOR US 🐐
Do not take him 🙏 but it's not like you have a choice kasi preenlisted HAHSHAHAH anw if u love urself don't get him cos no matter how hard u try u won't rlly fit his standards
Tapos specific yung gusto niya but he won't tell u or even teach u how to achieve what he wants untill all submissions are done 🥰 No life skills learned from him at all
Not like he's a terror or anyth I'm sure some people love him kasi he's smart but tbh he was hell for me cos he loves to talk about himself kahit walang relate sa lessonmore
