update for future purposes: - the best nga 🧡 11/10 would take again - profs who actually teach >>> - very fun and engaging yung lectures, may natututunan talaga - easier to absorb yung lessons dahil sa examples/applications - less (to none) math and more on concepts - very passionate, maiinspire ka to do more for others (at na yumaman ahahaha) - relatable, approachable, inaabangan namin cutie quirky socks niya (at pagmumura, with love, sa klase HAHAHA) - A-able pero syempre with effort sa written midterms (mult choice, graphing) and orals finals (given na yung possible questions beforehand) - basta ito yung klase na nalulungkot pa ko pag nag ring na yung bell - the class was so good that i'm now considering taking a minor in econ - take him!more

neutralECON110

I had R Lance Chua for SoSc 13 and he is one of those profs that you really learn from not because of his lectures but the discussions you can have during them! While he at first mentioned that he'll only read from slides during synchs his class turned really socratic in the sense that we got to hear opinions from students of all walks of life. And that really was fun! His assessments involved writing papers and actually getting out there and donating/interviewing numerous staff (so be prepared to spend a little for that sake!). This is among a written midterms and finals orals. Since Econ110 will be more quantitative and form the basis of your economics knowledge take this with a grain of salt. Since SocSc 13 is much more conceptual in nature I don't know how he is teaching all the numbers stuff, but I'll still vouch for him as a person and mentor. Grades-wise B-B+ able but it may be a diff story for Econ 110 since its probs harder.more

Don’t let the giggles fool you. Her class is self study, depend on the perusalls for notes and actual learning. Her lectures don’t make sense and she doesn’t manage class time well! Good luck 😀more

im his beadle for this sem and i have so much to say (SORRY MEDYO MAGULO HAHAHA): •in the beginning parang ok nmn siya magturo but later in the sem parang tinamad na siya mag effort💀 • first red flag; he confused us with his other saturday class so as his beadle i was so lost because he wasn’t updating me on anything and we didnt have a messenger gc with him until a month after classes started (because he thought we already had one) • even if we have a gc with him he replies late or nag seseen lang siya when we @ him sa gc and doesnt reply • he goes through the materials rlly quickly, and his presentations are super concise—like only 5-8 slides at most 😭 merchandising lang yung mahaba w/ 40+ slides but even that lacked any real detail • additionally he seems to struggle with technology 😭. i don’t think he fully understands how to use canvas because he only posts modules through announcements and has trouble setting up zoom and gmeet. (this is when the course started getting really messy and unenjoyable because he’s so disorganized 🫥) • after adjusting entries he taught us merchandising kaagad and putol putol niya tinuro (medyo di ko na maaalala because it was such a blur but i really did not learn anything during his lecture of merchandising 💀) • nung malapit na midterms he realized he should have taught us closing and post-closing entries first because hanggang dun lang pala scope ng midterms so he kind of skipped the remaining slides for merchandising and he rushed to teach us closing and post-closing 💀 •basta we had so much issues regarding scheduling and lessons were so disorganized 🤥 • recently we had an online class and he taught us something that wasn't even in the syllabus and not included in the final exam. his reasoning was that it would be useful if we took “higher acct” classes in the future, but it was such a waste of time. we could have used that session as a refresher for merchandising since it’s been weeks since he last taught it. we also could have used the time to cover cash flows, but i don’t think he plans to teach it since the exams arent departmental anymore (i honestly could go on with more kwentos but tinatamad na ak HAHAHAHA) • buti na lang walang departmentals because if so our class would not have survived with his bare minimum teaching TLDR; overall i just really don’t like his teaching style at all because he only provides one example per module and moves on tas lessons are given just a once-over gloss, which isn’t enough for thorough understanding. i don’t even know how he’s been teaching for so long when it seems like he can’t gauge whether his class truly understands the lessons or not (or maybe he just doesn’t care lol) he’s one of the “easier profs” in terms of tests and workload and as a person he’s nice naman but if you genuinely wanna learn acct then he is not the right person 🤣more

positiveACCT 115

Hi okay, well, he's nice naman and he doesn't count cuts. For us, our ACCT 115 did NOT have any departmental exams so obviously Sir Chua made his own LTs and Quizzes to give to his respective students. It's hard. We move really fast through the syllabus so you really need to advance study. He's pretty chill and cool, but his exams are comparatively hard and he flies through the materialmore

We have so much to unpack here🤡 - Sir is good in explaining his lessons but that does not equate you're good at teaching. - His flow of lessons are bombed. You're studying T accounts and then you drop ur pen, now he's talking about corpo accounting and receivables which should not be part of his lesson. Adhd ig - He doesn't upload anything in canvas only announcement for the modules he posts (always inc) - the good side is he's kind and flexible with his exam, I think he grades fairly. - His exams are relatively easier compared to other classes - after our midterms he dipped for 1 month and then made us go online and discuss 2 modules in one sitting - we even had a class in messenger call☠️☠️ - he's open to questions but lazy to teach - overall, he's kind ☺️🙏more

As one of his beadles for the semester, I have a LOT to say. Sir Chua comes off very chill. He is always open to questions, answers them without a hint of condescension, and in general has a pleasing personality. That said, if you do not have any background whatsoever in Accounting, I would not recommend his class. If you are pre-enlisted into one of his sections, it would behoove you to do a bit of preparation beforehand. I say this because his lectures can often be difficult to really follow. I did not notice this too much in the beginning, because I took it upon myself to learn some basic accounting concepts before the semester, but man did I feel it once we got past the stuff I already knew. You will need a lot of supplementary material since his PowerPoints feel like reviewers rather than something meant to teach you for the first time. Also, among all of my professors so far, he seems to be the least adept at using technology. It’s kind of understandable since he’s new to using Canvas, but his modules are all located in the announcements tab, though some of them aren’t even there, as he just sends them in the class Messenger GC. He also makes us pass assignments through email for some reason so that he can “see the timestamp”. He also has trouble with Zoom and Google Meet, and most of the time he just asks me to make the room to use for the session. Even so, he still insisted on multiple online sessions throughout the semester, each more disorganized than the last. As for his tests, the difficulty isn’t necessarily awful but the lack of preparation that his teaching is able to provide definitely makes them tougher. The scheduling is also weird, as we recently had a test that specifically covered a topic that we hadn’t discussed in almost two months. In fact, this topic was discussed before the midterm even though it was not included. We all needed a refresher but instead, he spent time the week before discussing a topic that according to him would not even show up in the final exam. I could honestly go on for longer, but I’ll stop here. The bottomline is that his teaching style is messy and not conducive to beginners. I think I speak for everyone in my section when I say that he just isn’t the best accounting professor.more

positiveECON 110

Had Sir R. Lance for ECON 110 - GOAT! His discussions are fairly straightforward; he includes a lot of basic examples to break down what's happening. Our workload was fairly light: five reflection papers (spaced out across the semester), an objective midterms exam (multiple choice + graphing basic supply and demand curves), and an oral finals. His grading is fairly generous so long as you grasp the core concepts of the subject. I would say the reflection papers are probably the best part of the class; he really makes it a point to make you do certain projects (ex. talking to security guards/maintenance stuff about the idea of a baon subsidy) that make the experience more personal. He always emphasizes how important it is to connect the technical concepts we study to the realities of the world right now, and I imagine that will be even more evident in SocSc 13. Take him!more

very genuine teacher. the reqs are doable, and the midterms (written) and finals (indiv oral) are a-able with enough effort. he has very amusing examples (which uses students’ names 🤣) to dumb down the concepts naman. TIP! show that you’re putting effort and that you’re enthusiastic to learn. he has a soft spot for curious, engaged, and socially-aware students :))))more

had him for last intersession! (around exactly a yr ago) he was really considerate and workload was light but you'll still learn a lot in class ❤️ gives relatable examples in his lectures and is good with questions in class.. good for those who already have basic econ understanding and great for beginners would recommend! B+ able, maybe even A ps classic millenial, took film photos of us since he's into photog and gave them to us at end of intersession :>more

Send help how is she this semester?

positive

1. Workload-heavy. You will have assigned readings (aka Perusall) where you have to annotate stuff and comment to essentially engage with the class. There will also be a lot of supplemental videos to guide you and super daming worksheets. On the brighter side, she returns said worksheets early and allows you/your pair to revise them to get a perfect grade. 10-15% lang naman ito usually kaya nakakapagod lahat ng worksheets and readings knowing na ang baba ng percentage but good practice siya. (Our class kind of missed her nung second semester kasi mas naging fast-paced na ang lessons with another prof and less worksheets). 2. Self-study. She kind of expects you to know the lesson beforehand given the assigned Perusalls so during the lessons itself, she will focus on the important concepts nalang. 3. Generally, A-able if your GenChem background is good and masipag ka sa Perusall/worksheets/etc.more

Rite of passing. Jokes aside, magPerusall ka lang. Masakit sa QPI pag hindi ka nagPerusall.
