positiveSA 21

Had Sir Skilty for intersession last year, back when the subject was still called SA 21! Sir is super nice and kind. There are readings, but they’re pretty fun to read + chill. Lots of free cuts + movies! His LTs are all essay, so really, there’s no need to memorize anything. Just write well and really get to the heart of the matter. Recite a lot, voice your thoughts and opinions, and just present well for the group project. Very A-able!more

Had sir labastilla last intersession n super daming readings pero di naman mahaba the readings HAHAHA n we had seatworks about the readings rin :(( but we watched a lot of films rin naman. HAHAHA overall fun class naman but class participate is 20% so attendance plays a big part sa final grade. Sir’s super nice tho!!

SKILTY. best class, swear. Make sure you have friends! pray you’re not with tensed/super serious ppl bc this class is fun talaga. He’s a cool dad. Yung netflix niya puro peppa pig.. Our password for our class site was SAisthisshit 😢 Go figure his vibe nalang. Flow of class: gives you readings (usually online articles lang, ez n INTERESTING reads, nothing corny) —> group seatwork about it (reflection/summary of that reading) or fun activities (simulations, role play, presentations) —> synthesis with the whole class. We watch a documentary once a week. 2 tests, all essay. Just read the readings beforehand / watch the videos and you’re good to go. Actually, kahit hindi nga eh ‘cause engaging in the class activities is enough for you to know what to write. Had a final group paper (3k words) + a presentation about it. You have the option to make a video rin. I don’t remember him discussing much.. nothing was forced down our throats but we learned n appreciated the subject so much. Just recite because there’s no right or wrong answers naman! He just wants to see you participate. 20% is participation, which took a toll on my grade ‘cause i had to miss 2 weeks of class. Made us send a self-evaluation every 5 weeks and he considers what you say rin. Try not to cut!! You wouldn’t want to anyway. Easy B-A 🙂more

Skilty counts cuts BUT he makes the beadle count lates!! if you have a nice enough person as a beadle, you'll be fine hehe

He’s not rlly on profs to pick for a reason. He’s a gem

Lerma goes by the book, and his discussions are pretty straightforward. I got by through reading the book (even if I cut a lot of the classes), and I managed to get an A so it's overall an okay classmore

neutral

Lerma discusses exactly what's in the book. I honestly didn't listen 90% of the time but got pretty good grades because I studied the book. If you're looking to be amazed by his lessons this is the wrong professor. He also doesn't really give A's from what I remember but its very very difficult to fail this class.more

Get Velasco for German! She's motherly, and teaches very well. Tests are not hard provided you exert effort and study. I had a blast in her class!

neutral

Lerma is a pretty decent prof. Although you don't need to attend his lectures because all of the exam content can be found in the book, it's still fun to go because he shares his own stories in relation to the current topic and he's a great speaker. As for attendance, I cut way more than 9 times and ended up with a b+, so I don't think he really takes attendance so seriously. Also, I think he likes sad stories for the reflection papers you have to write for the sem HAHAmore

Took this class a year ago during intersession. I enjoyed this class, particularly because it was one of the few film classes I took that tackled “otherness” and intersectionality in the local context. Some of the films and readings are in Filipino and iirc there was some poems that were in other Philippine languages (which I loved). For those who may be wondering, Sir Labastilla did not require our class naman to use Filipino for the reqs (the primary language is still english). Most of the film choices are mainstream so you probably would’ve heard or watched them na before even going to the class. Overall, Easy A naman and fun ☺️more

positive

took him last second sem!! reqs consisted of discussion boards (both indiv and by group), a videocast (by group), and an infographic (by group). the final proj was an analysis of various filipino poems and one filipino film! sir's understanding, though the jargon may be intimidating at first, especially for the more complicated readings HAHAHAHA but he usually clarifies some terms when he sees na marami sa class yung nalilito!! i'd say easy a naman and fun din at the same time!more

positive

film choices may be sort of either a cringe or drag, but those are about the only cons. Totally a chill class, and definitely knew that’ll get you new friends cause of all the group stuff. Language: mostly Tagalogmore

neutralPOS100

Had both. Both are great. So just determine how u work and learn best.. Skilty: creative and diverse teaching style in lectures that are very participatory like play monopoly in class, roleplaying etc., you’ll never want to cut class. but his evaluation of your learnings is mainly traditional essay type quizzes and tests in class, plus one group project to present at the end. Hansley(had him for POS100): traditional powerpoint lectures, longer readings, but with diverse requirements all done at home like connecting readings to a museum visit or pokemon go etc., he also gave a lot of chances for group work to present in class. AnYWAYS So if ur like me and can never study well for a written test in class and work better at home, go with Hansley. If your testing skills are better than your at-home essay writing skills, and you’re looking for a life changing lecture, then go with Skilty.more

They're both good profs. Who you choose will depend on what style of class you prefer, as well as which discipline you like. They both like groupwork. Sir Hansley is the usual slides- discussion kind of guy, so as long as you listen you're set. His slides are detailed. He has requirements which will take your time, but are manageable as long as you listened and you and your partner/groups communicate. He's from the POS department. Sir Skilty is more interactive with the class. A lot of the time, you'll meet up with groups and do activities that will require open discussion. His tests are essays that are a mix of subjective- objective. Lesser requirements, but more groupwork. His background is in Sociology. They're both A- able as long as you listen. Good luck!more

positiveIDS 192

Sir Skilty was a great prof for my IDS 192 Junior Thesis class, but I did take his Socsci 12 class due to my irregular IPS Lectures were clear and straight to the point! He was very approachable, and gave clarifications whenever students asked questions. There were multiple facets to the course that did make it a heavy class, but with proper scheduling and time management, my group managed to submit our reqs on time. Can’t comment on the grading, as socsci and IDS 192 seem to be very different classes and outputsmore

If Sir Soriano is teaching this sem, get him! He really engages class in learning German, fun activities, getting to know your classmates through German. Tests are not that hard enough. He had a masters degree on how Black American/Africans had to do/role in Holocaust (cool) Had him for intersession. Minimum load plus real fun!more
