Alyssa Go provide na ako input for you guys HAHAHA
Had this class before and learned a lot. Challenges I had included:
1) Learning Java. Idk if this is still the language for Android Development, PROBABLY STILL IS
2) Keeping up with class. It's really technical (iba siya from Data Viz na level of programming swear) so prepare na macchallenge kayo sa logic. Though, baka easier since online learning and (BAKA) recorded yung sessions. I had it when classroom setting pa
3) Workload (my time 2019) was very relax despite everyday intersession noon. Forgiving siya sa deadlines (before) basta masubmit mo yung mga lab requirements etc (you know usual DISCS labs)
4) Midterms and finals before were written. Technical exams that had programming on paper. Idk how he does it now.
Hope this helps :)more

Update: Mixed feelings.
He grades high and very chill prof, but at the same time, it was kind of hard to learn from him since the class was very fast-paced. Sometimes in the synchronous classes I tend to have no idea what's going on anymore haha, so I did a lot of self-studying on my own to catch up. But overall, super chill and A-able, but yun nga his teaching isn't really a wow factor. However, this might change since admu will transition to a sem system. But if you're taking him for intersession, I suggest doing some advanced studying so you won't feel left out (esp in Java syntax and OOP).
Also, I wished they taught android in kotlin since it's more syntax friendly huhumore

Hi, took the same class under Sir Jongko last intersession and most of the reviews above still stand naman! What I can add siguro is that Sir really tries his best to help during consultations. We had sync sessions once or twice a week (after a first week with everyday syncs and 10 lecture slides finished) tapos Sir reserves the non-sync sessions as consultations where you can literally just go in anytime and ask a question or ask for help in debugging. Another thing is while he's A-able, he didn't give any feedback sa submissions, tho that's kinda understandable naman since the deadlines for labs are just soft deadlines and the hard deadline is the last day of intersession. Tho it's best to follow his advised sched talaga kasi madali matambakan given the difficulty of Java and para you can also consult agad if you're encountering difficulties.more

hi! I had this subject under Sir Jongko in an online setting and his weekly setup would usually be a mix of synchronous classes for the programming parts of the lessons and consultations for questions or help needed in any programming activity. His activities are mostly based on the lessons he taught in class, but it was also challenging since Java is a totally new programming language. It's helpful to attend his consultation classes if you are stuck in the programming activities because he really helps you debug your code! Gradewise, he grades fairly!
Hope this helps hehe 🥰more
