He was my shs philo prof so my review won’t be accurate esp since he transferred na pala to college philo pero it can give u a glimpse of what to expect from him! 😁
1. Didn’t allow gadgets for notes so we had to take notes the traditional way. We submitted the notebook din by the end of the sem. Might make you do Cornell notes din pero not sure abt that since I js based off of other philo profs
2. His quizzes were easy lang. very textbook so if u know and understand the topic well, I think u can get a good score sa quizzes niya. Quizzes were done online but also onsite.
3. Really good at breaking down the topic but sometimes he oversimplifies it too much bc our departmental exams were more complex than what he taught us so most of us found the exam difficult 😵💫
4. Usual socratic method so expect lengthy recitations if u get called 😁. Also likes to create debates in class so expect some chaos na rin
Overall great prof but js note na he was my shs philo prof so most likely he’ll be stricter and have higher standards for college students! Ingatan niyo siya Anon! 😄more

taking his class rn
overall - not an easy a! he def has standards but he doesn’t grade extremely low (highest i got was 3.5 in his quizzes)
lectures - sometimes doesn’t use ppt and he doesn’t upload ppts! take notes during class
readings - a lot! its philo so u’d expect that. but he just provides specific ranges for the readings.
quiz - easy to answer but not always sure about the grade! as long as u read for sure u can answer them (+ open notes!)
exams - mostly essay. he grades the same way here. he gives the entire period naman so take ur time to answer and make sure you’re providing points from reading and irl
orals - very chill but he expects you to speak in english throughout! (no taglish/tagalog)

For a more recent review as someone who took him this semester (epistemological track)
I found his teaching style boring I am fine with the class not being interactive but he could have at least made the class interesting with his powerpoints and lecture but nope :(. LIKE SOBRANG BORING TALAGA EVEN THE ATTENTIVE STUDIOUS STUDENTS NAAANTOK SA KANYA. Also He does not really go in depth as far from the readings go so just read them and you pretty much know everything
He does reading quizzes before the lecture and they are open notes (handwritten only) and they are okay naman but the thing is since after the reading quiz you pretty much have no use in attending the lectures because they really don't add anything much.
His gradings are pretty normal for Philo standards, with the classic 4.0 grading system. He does 2 long tests and 2 oral exams (midterm and final) the 2 oral exams make up a huge chunk of your grade. I think he grades fairly not Philo terror prof but also not easy A.
His feedbacks are the worst part about him since when gets back to you the reading quiz he just puts an underline and question mark on your statements like no actual comment on your work. He gave me a 2/4 on the lt on an essay with no feedback or anything so I don't know where I did wrong😔
Overall mid prof not the life-changing terror prof, also not an easy A. He is nice naman but boring
Also he does not think Lebron is the goat so minus points🥀more

sir lismoras used to be my philo prof in a diff school 3 years ago (this was in shs), i think he might be new to teaching in ateneo!
from my experience, he explains concepts really well. like he makes them way easier to understand, and he's really passionate abt it! he'd make a few jokes here and there. for grades he was very generous naman and the workload wasnt that heavy.
not sure how he is now as a college professor but id say youre in good hands!more
