Insane exams but super husay na teacher. If u want to learn take him, if u want an easy A, better off with another teacher nalang😇

Update: I had him for FILI12 just this second semester and while his long tests can be difficult (we felt like we were going crazy!), he doesn't do right minus wrong na! He's so much more lenient and is willing to hear out his students on where they're struggling :)) It doesn't matter much if you're not good at Filipino, whether with speaking or writing—he cares more about your ideas even if you speak/write it with a mix of English. It's more important that you try. His classes are best enjoyed by students who recite a lot or engage in discussions :)) He might love your class more if that's the general attitude. Beadle for him if you can, he responds quickly (within the day or the ff. morning) but be good at it because your class may have a lot of questions/requests. He gives a lot of opportunities to bump up your recit points/curve potential. Lastly, he's just hands down great at teaching! Every class is WORTH IT. Anyone who tries their best in Dr. Respeto's class can likely get a B, B+, or even a solid A (with effort, but not impossible at all!).more

ODOYYYY He's so good. He explains well in lectures. Never ka makakatulog. Mapapraning ka sa exam but yeah he's good if you really wanna learn. If you want an easy A, pick another prof instead. Nonetheless, Doc Jerry GOAT.more

His exams were hard (right minus wrong pa) 🤣 but no regrets being the beadle in his class since his lectures weren’t boring!! he’s really passionate and you’d learn a lot from him 🥳 not an easy A foshomore

Take him! He lets you speak English or use English words for when you don't know the Tagalog counterpart. Since it's a literature class, you'll be focusing more on, well, literature and not grammar or anything related to that. He's one of my favorite profs for the sem mainly because you won't ever get bored during his lectures. He always finds a way to relate the lesson to current happenings and he does this in a very engaging way. He's super passionate about everything and you'll often find him acting out the literary piece being discussed for emphasis (he once locked himself out of the room while he was acting 😭). When he says you'll have a quiz next week, odds are, it will actually happen NEXT month. He doesnt skip lessons when suspensions occur and he also doesn't speed up the lecture just to catch up. He's very detailed. Very very detailed. That is why he's got a reputation for giving tough quizzes and I can attest to that. Just make sure that when he told you which literary pice you'll have a quiz on, go over it over and over again especially if you're not good in Filipino since his exam questions tend to get tricky and would require some critical thinking. Overall, he's a GREAT prof, you won't regret choosing him. ODOOOOOYYYYmore
