Hello! I took her last sem. Very nice and accommodating prof! She understands how heavy our workload is and will often ask the beadle if we'd like extensions on assessments. In terms of the course workload, it's kind of heavy and she will occassionally assign long readings. Really pay attention to her lectures and how she applies the concepts to real-life situations bc majority of her quizzes and exams are applications and rarely memorization of concepts by definition. don't let the midterm advisory grade let you down she grades rlly low for the first half of the sem because majority of your overall grade comes after the midterms where you have to write a 12-page paper coming up with ways to tackle a specific issue related to theology, SDGs, and Laudato Si goals. Definitely A-able, just do your work on time, contribute to group works, participate in class and you'll be goldenmore

Hello :> I took Ma'am Ibita's class during the online set up, I was her beadle. Ma'am is super nice she really takes her time explaining the basics of what the semester's going to revolve around. Legit, I don't remember how many times I heard the words see, judge, act, evaluate, and celebrate throughout that sem but it stuck naalala ko pa nga ngayon.
We had around 6 outputs for her class back then, they aren't just papers so it wasn't that boring, medyo refreshing pa actually. Around 3 outputs were indivually done the first requirement and our midterm exam. Mostly essays with knowledge questions and we'd have to expound on our answers through the essays. The midterm exam was knowledge based, she gave us 8 hours to accomplish it then, saying it's doable for 2 hours for a lot of us it took longer lang, so take it with a grain of salt when she talks about the amount of time it takes to do requirements.
About the group work naman, they're mostly papers as well. The last requirement was the heaviest one. It was pretty heavy since we had to write a lot for it, but everything needed are in her lectures and her slides. If you listen to class it wouldn't really be that hard to work on the requirements.
She was also very patient with our submissions, I remember asking her at least 3 times to have deadlines moved, minsan she offers pa depending on the vibes she got from us in class. She also really likes it when you engage and share experiences in class, super naeexcite siya about that.
With how she grades naman, she grades relatively high, with minimal effort I'd say you can get a B or B+ na, with a bit more effort kaya A, basta you're careful with the way you write and how you deliver when you submit outputs. Also peer evaluation has its own percentage in the final grade, it doesn't just count as like 10% of the final output, or any group output, I think it was 10% or 15% of the final grade [take this with a grain of salt because I don't remember how big the percentage of it was]
Hi! I had ma'am Maricel for Theo 11 in my freshie year, second sem in the online setting AY2021-2022.
She's a great prof! While it was quite taxing to attend sync sessions, she's very kind, considerate, and knowledgeable of the lecture content. She encourages us to participate in discussion and makes sure we are in sync with the pacing of the course.
I would say that the requirements are quite heavy, but they are quite easy and manageable to do. The only thing I would say needs a bit more time is the final paper in which it's by group. She grades relatively high, and is definitely A-able if your inputs are more aligned with the lectures and integrated towards your personal experiences. I would definitely recommend her as a professor, so please take her class!more
