Magdala ka ng unan at kumot, hindi yan magagalit sayo. Napakahina ng boses para kang hinihele. Pero pag nag quiz ka, laging may butas mga sagot mo sa kanya lol

positiveCHEM 122.01

had him for chem 122.01 (fundamentals of inorg chem). he teaches pretty fast but i like it that way. he's quite straightforward with his discussions so it was easy for me to understand the lessons. quiz, long test, problem set were manageable. 10/10 would take his class again HAHAHAmore

I dunno why everyone seems to be intimidated by Ma'am Dayrit, but I took her for STS and it was honestly an okay class. Her LTs mostly just ask for basic explanations of concepts in her lectures and the readings (which she already summarizes in her lectures). The final project was also light and fun, we had to present our own conspiracy to highlight the dangers of misrepresented science, which I found to be relevant and timely. Though I don't know if this is still the case for her finals as of this sem. She's only a bit strict when it comes to classes and excused absences, so be careful about cutting because she's the type to REALLY think about whether or not she should give you a make-up quiz, if at all. She also only allows certain gadgets for notetaking, so you can't be on your phone during a lecture. Overall, with effort, A is very possible + she is considerate as long as you're not blatantly on your phone during class or something. Personally, I was sick every LT and was only able to study an hour before the tests would happen, but I still got really high scores bc again they aren't that hard. As long as you listened to the lecture, skimmed the readings, n took notes, you will probably pass. Plus she's really nice. She will do her best to help you, within reason. Though I will admit, you do have to have strong memorization or extremely familiar grasp of the concepts, because sometimes she is very precise about what she wants from you while defining terms or concepts. So if that's your weak point, definitely not Ma'am Dayrit-- I've filled some questions out before thinking it was good enough, but it turns out she wanted more/less/other details. So watch out for that while reviewing.more

negativeSTS 10

no, and i’m the beadle for his class (STS 10) masusubukan mo talaga antok mo sa klase niya and he still expects you to listen to his lectures bc quizzes are all objective essays (he’s also very nit-picky on grammar), and his ppts are so dated. old and VERY soft spoken, kahit nasa first row k na nakaupo you can barely understand him 🥲 most of the time, idk what’s going on in his classes. it’s almost impossible to participate. seeing the previous reviews, here’s what’s new: quizzes are NOT open notes & he DOES take attendance. for the other reviews on him being boring, being probably worse than a terror prof, and lots of group work, chrue p rin yan he’s very responsive naman whenever i have to inquire about something. and he’s okaaay personality-wise(?). but overall… no. good luck🙏more

negativePHYS 23.21

hi i took him for PHYS 23.21 last semester and he's gotta be one of like the 5 profs that actually made me mad LMAO. I fucking hated that class for one, he doesn't give instructions clearly- we would have quizzes that are open for the whole day (according to what he says verbally) but on canvas is only open until 5pm. he would go about on all these tangents in his lectures that are barely related to the topic and expect you to remember all of them. he wants every single answer you give to start from the basics- and i mean that literally that in our case we had to derive the formulas ourselves for every single question no matter how simple it is kahit na v=d/t lang yan. he would give minus points if you went straight into v=d/t instead of deriving it from d=vt then doing all the necessary variable distributions. hes also extremely pedantic that he will give you minus points for not writing notations or terms in the way he taught them. I got multiple minuses for when i used Vi (initial velocity) and Vf (final velocity) even though i got the exact same solution adn got the exact same final answer just because he used Vo and V instead of Vi and Vf. he would expect your answer to cover all bases of human knowledge possible its virtually impossible to give him an answer that he pleases LMAO. in an LT the problem solving question was abt superman pushing a boulder and we needed to find the force- simple enough i gave a straightforward answer and got the force. but he wanted me to comment on if superman was needed to push the boulder?? dont believe me ill attach a screenshot of this stupidity LMAO when u give an answer he expects it to cover all the fields of knowledge u can find no matter how unrelated it is to physics. he would get worked up and passive aggressive over questions or concerns that you raise at him, which you would need to raise at him because the man explains things like he doesnt even know what he is going to say next. ive had better experiences with "terror" profs lmao because at least with terror profs theyre actually outright bad- this one you just sit there in disbelief because of how stupid the grade you got was sometimes.more

Had him online in 2021, so I'm not sure if what I remember will apply much. His lectures are on the dryer side, and I don't think his explanations were very helpful most of the time tbh. Most of his problem sets can be done if you understand what's in the textbook, so that's your friend. His requirements for lecture (mostly problem sets) are done by group, and there aren't that many, so they're manageable in terms of work load. Honestly, his lab requirements were far heavier than lecture, but since lab will be done onsite, it's hopefully easier to take measurements this sem.more

Got a C+ for Chan. Idk if it was bc we were fresh out of the pandemic or bc I hate physics, but his class was difficult. His feedback isn't clear, idk what he wants from me sa exers, he's not really considerate, and his exers + exams are more difficult than his examples sa class. To pass, honestly just try to listen sa lecs, answer the exers, pass them, and answer the exams 😭 I have no concrete tips because I tried everything (listen, get a capable tutor (a friend), ask for help, etc) but I still didn't understand a lot of his lessons.more

Hello! I had sir turner for general chemistry and overall he’s a very chill and nice prof. However his classes are fast and difficult to keep up with. Workload: Very chill his quizzes are all done in canvas and we only had 2 or 3 (?) probsets Teaching style: Sir turner provides lecture slides prior to his classes so you could read them in advance. His slides are simple (too simplified na it doesn’t match up with the exam questions he gives us 😭😭)and medyo disorganized. Grading: His grading is straightforward all of the outputs have the same weight and he just averages that (he doesn’t curve). Overall B-able with effort.more

Sir Turner is afam so my inital motion was he curves. But i was wrong Quizzes: chill lang very technical and applicational Lectures: super haba as in. Di mo kaya ng 1 night reviewihin lahat. Get lang the gizz anf you will be fine tho Grades: Sir doesnt curve talaga. The grades you see in canvas will be your final grades. with minimum effort, you can get a Bmore

positiveCHEM 122.01

I had him for CHEM 122.01! He's a nice prof and open for consultation. If you need to email him, give him roughly a day or two. His lecture materials are short and concise, and his crash course videos are also very, very abrupt (but helpful as well). It's better to have your reference material by your side when studying his modules! 😄 His synchronous sessions are really, really quick (there was one session where I haven't fully absorbed the lecture slide and he has already discussed 5 more slides 😭). If you have questions during the synchronous sessions, I suggest you open your mic because there are instances when he only checks the chat box by the end of the lecture. On tests and exams, being acquainted with your class beadle helps out a lot (I was a beadle when I had him as a prof) because there are items on his quizzes that needs clarification/corrections, especially on sigfigs. His tests are just right in terms of difficulty— there are some challenging items and there are easy items.more

had doc turner for ch 122.01 :0 • fast-paced lectures, you’re pretty likely to attend a synch session and have no idea what’s going on if you don’t look at the module in advance, but also.. • material is very straightforward, not too convoluted, not difficult to absorb!! which is why it's easy to catch up despite the pacing • Quizzes/LTs are very similar to his ppt slides, so make sure you study those and you should be good • Multiple choice w/ 3-5 points per question so like… be careful • Make sure you know sigfigs!!! • v considerate w/ test and quiz items w/ corrections - we would message him about it and he gave everyone full marks • v approachable about consultation - ask anything you're not sure about, he replies within a day or two :Dmore

neutralCHEM 22.11

oof had sir for CHEM 22.11 and he was experimenting with how he held tests, so :'( for the questions with solutions, he just asked for final answers so no partial points + sig figs are v v important!! also feel free to ask about a question from the test if you think your answer is correct cuz he usually corrects them after the test (this will boost ur grades i swear HAHA) tbh didnt really learn much kasi he covers the topic really fast and this class stressed me out so much LOL also if may announcements siya, minsan sinasabi lang niya sa synch session and not the canvas group so its better to attend the synch classesmore

Hiii! Had him for Chrm 122.01 :> it really helps to read the materials before you attend the synch kasi there's a tendency na it's going to be really fast :< quizzes and LT-wise naman, it's fairly easy naman pero be careful kasi each question is worth 2-4 pts even though na it's only multiple choice lang :> Also, don't hesitate to reach out to doc adam when you feel like he made a mistake sa choices or you think na your answer is acceptable. Good luck!!more
