honest feedback general comments - hands on, she goes around the room to see if you’re doing the sample exercises correctly - may look scary at first but she’s approachable when you ask for help but also scary at the same time ok ang gulo ewan ko na - she’s not scary when you want to ask something but if your question is kinda stupid she gets passive aggressive 🤣 - so in short i got scared to ask na coz yun nga she’s a bit scary to approach esp if u ask abt the basics - she’ll call you out for not knowing stuff that you should’ve learned from gen chem so be sure talaga that your foundation is good bc this subject is soooo fast paced i could barely keep up assessments and grading - canvas quizzes na usually open the whole day but my problem with this naman is she schedules them outside of class hours - so let’s say you have an NSTP activity on saturdays.. that may be a bit of a problem bc she schedules quizzes on saturdays and can only excuse those who actually had NSTP for the same time slot as the quiz - best she could do to consider those nstp people is to give an extension until morning of the next day… which is.. quite difficult din to achieve bc imagine ur so tired from ur nstp activity, u go home around evening na, then u have to answer a quiz due 7am (so u end up staying awake til midnight para lang masagutan) KAPAGOD - quizzes are hard or at least theyd rlly make u OVERTHINK. my tip is… don’t overthink but also don’t underthink?!! labo diba - OVERTHINK the dots, spaces, your handwriting cos i SWEARRRR she deducts points for reasons you wont even notice. if she doesnt like how you wrote even if it’s legible, she’ll deduct 0.2 or something. if the file is too big, she’ll deduct again. and even if those are small points lang, GIRLLLL THEY ADD UP🙃 halos walang nakakaperfect sa kanya. * there was one quiz where i thought i got a perfect score kasi tama naman lahat ng sagot ko but she still found a way to deduct 0.3 kasi my small letter ‘h’ looked like the letter n ata or something - UNDERTHINK in terms of logic… idk stick to ur gut. there were so many instances where i kept changing my answer only to find out my original answer was correct. sayang. overall she’s super strict. the class was super heavy. i literally spent more hours to study for this class than i did for my actual major/course subjects. and in the end i still got a low grade. im just relieved im done with the class. i would never want to take this again. it got so bad to the point where my dreams had iupac names and chemical structures and valence electrons etc ughhhh nightmares also huge tip pala - answer all of her probsets. answer all the questions. i just answered some questions per probset but i think she’d really pull up ur grade if she saw na u tried ur best in answering ALL problems good luck!

He's a chill prof that takes up around 2 hours of your time out of the 3 hours per session. You'll learn basic finance concepts, and how to do modeling and valuation by the end of the sem. Quizzes every week during class, easy enough to almost perfect, tho sometimes he likes to be sneaky with questions. He also cancels out your lowest 3 quizzes, so you have chance talaga to make bawi. He's approachable and wouldnt get mad at you if you ask him Q's. He brings up a lot of stories from his early work days on how he applied his teachings to his work decisions, and it's interesting.more

Hi! My experience is for the online class setting. 🙂 Sir Harley makes finance topics easier to digest naman tbh. I used to be intimidated by technical analysis but the way he explained it made it simpler for me. Good thing is that most of the modules can be learned asynchronously and he just summarizes the lessons during class hours. Though the modules are ok, I think that some of his quizzes were kinda hard compared to what he taught HAHAHA HDJDJSJS For workload, he had 4 quizzes (?) and 1 group project where you present your recommendation on a stock he assigns (financial model, paper & presentation) so it wasn’t too bad but the project is a big chunk of the grade!! So make sure to take advantage of consultation with sir for the project 🙂more

Had her last sem for Applied Org Chem Lec I and she’s ok naman! Grading: She curves!!! Requirements namin sa class niya ay 4(?) Quizzes, LT1 (100pts), LT2 (100pts), Final Exam (200(?) pts), DBoard (not really required pero highly encouraged ang students na mag sagot kasi maganda siyang prep for the LTs and gagamitin niya yung score mo here if nasa borderline yung grade mo para ma-bump up ka sa next letter grade) Teaching Style: Magaling siya magturo like madali maintindihan naman pero minsan medyo mabilis. You can always ask her naman to slow down or give more examples pa. Mahirap nga lang mga long exams niya tho. The exams are medyo different sa examples na binibigay niya in class and sa mga quizzes. And yung type ng exam is multiple choice, explain the concept, and calculations/computations/drawing of mechanisms. Classroom rules: Sa end ng session siya nagttake ng attendance. Medyo strict pero ok lang ‘di naman yung unreasonable level of strictness.more

I had Ma'am Val last sem! Ma'am Val is super kind and generous! She also teaches well but u really need to supplement your learning with the prescribed book for that subject since hindi manotes si Ma'am. Write what she writes on the board and take note of what she says kasi sometimes super important din nun. She does have a fair share of her own ppts, but the info will mostly be coming from the book. LTs are hard (personal opinion). Pero kaya siya sagutan basta practice talaga. For our reqs, we had 5 quizzes, 2 LTs and 1 final exam. Strict siya when it comes to grading, but generous magbigay ng points. Also, pro tip lang: Answer her probsets (disc boards) kahit hindi required because that will really save you at the end of the sem!!! Good luck!more

Hi I took her for inorg chem lab but this may help you gauge her teaching style. She’s very good with giving swift and timely feedback. However, she is very particular and definitely does not curve. Overall, totally recommend her if you want to learn in the long run but if you want to just get high grades then forget about whatever you learned, she’s not the best prof for you.more

Anonymous member exam questions were even harder i just ijbol’d my way out of them. literally during midterms and finals i was just staring at my pair chuckling silently it was THAT bad for me🙃🙃🙃 i survived thanks to orgchemtutor on youtube (he’s the best i owe my life to him ilysm) and professor dave explains.. and Leah4Sci and a bunch of other youtubers since the class is super fast, there might be a lot of moments where u’d feel so lutang and just… floating in another dimension. i’ve been there and it’s okay. just take down notes as much as you can. know the topic lang. then once u have time, go to youtube and look for orgchemtutor’s explanation bc he’s the BEST i hope orgchemtutor had a profs to pick post bc id rate him 10/10more
