Anonymous member 815 hello! did you have an oral exam for theo 13? if so, how was it and was he strict with speaking in english only?

negative

if you want to maintain your grades at a high level, then i suggest that you go find a better prof. yabut gives very low grades even if you accomplish all of his tasks on time with quality work, actively participate during class, and even volunteer as a beadle. ps: this is based on personal experience. so again, i suggest that you go find a better prof. i’m sure there are other profs available that give more reasonable grades. anyways, goodluck!more

Anonymous member 611 thank you so much!

positive

Anonymous member 793 iirc he didn’t cold call for us!!! (but people were also usually reciting since it’s very conversation-like) his class is chill & there are a lot of opportunities to share responses/recit for thoughts rather than objective recit!more

took sir Yabut for theo12, he was really really good!

positive

omg i love him!!! he was one of my favorite profs in first year…. he’d integrate richard siken and ocean vuong into our lessons which kept me interested even if im not religious 😅 just make sure to read the readings + be familiar w the terms mentioned there bc you’ll have a pop quiz every other week about the main idea of the assigned reading… overall a-able with effort :PP tbh I didn’t read some of the readings but I still got an A so yay u got dismore

positiveTHEO 13

For THEO 13, my class standing was technically an F (as in, far from a D) but I ended with a C. Participated a lot in class and I communicated certain personal issues in the middle of the sem, so I think he’s very considerate and appreciates when you’re active in discussions. His paper prompts are always pretty straightforward, but the way he grades them on a technical level is a bit vague Edit (after reading another comment): For THEO 13 we didn’t have any pop quizzesmore

neutralTHEO 11

hi I was his beadle back in 2023 for Theo 11 in my freshie year haha lots of readings (he dgaf about how long they were, we had to print every single one of them) he likes mindmaps don’t piss him off unless you want gadgets to be banned for the whole class. not everyone in our class had a printed version of the reading so 3/4 of us got kicked out and got a cut even if we came to class would make a cool batchmate but would def hate him as a prof lol. maybe, but it was a hard B/B+ because he wanted so much things but had such low word count; trust us we tried condensing it to the max and it was still over word count. orals were kaya naman you were allowed index cards but just a certain size and sometimes he guides you to the answer but that’s just if you try to get to the first step on your own if there’s an option to not take him don’t lol but you won’t die fr if you have him he’s coolmore

We had 4 quizzes regarding readings he post in Canvas. Ngl, if you want to get a 4/4 sa quiz niya, you better read, understand, and remember yung first part of the reading and salient points para hindi ka mahirapan. Interesting discussions and engaging way of teaching. I like his drawings sa blackboard kasi mas naaalala ko yun kesa sa bulleted ppts ng profs. 🤕 Anyway, other reqs we have for this course are the faith narrative assessment, reflection papers, and oral exams. Workload-wise, not that heavy. You just got to give your best 🙏 Very chill prof. Relates his lessons to modern real world scenarios. I recommend profs like I am recommending a product in the orange app, so I give him 5 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️more

very chill prof, he didn’t take attendance for our class halfway through first sem (but don’t keep cutting cause he will call it out) readings are somewhat complicated for the first part, but he MIGHT give you easier ones depending on how the class understands the lessons does mini recaps of previous lessons before each class + likes to start with a bit of quiet time so people can relax. he’s also considerate of you come from a far building, he’ll give grace periods nmn his quizzes are all over 4, so just make sure to study the readings very well. HE SENDS READINGS LATE, so just be aware of that. Late = a day before class through canvas email/inbox tip: if you hate taking notes, get a friend who writes things down for youmore

positiveTHEO 13

Anonymous member 813 agree. i put my heart and soul into every paper, yet i always got a grade lower than expected. i got an A in every language-related course (fili, en), theo, and philo class, but i could not break yabut’s standards for theo 13. i would not deny his great teaching style tho. one of the best pedagogies in ateneo, not just in the theo department. if you’re grade-conscious, i would highly suggest taking a different prof. TLDR Hard and gut-wrenching B+more
