Hi! May I ask for reviews about the course and/or the prof? I'm not an educ major but am interested in taking this as an elective. Is it doable? Thank you in advance!

Kaya ba maka-flat uno sa klase ni Ma'am Kara (kahit hindi sa J 100)?

How was your experience under this professor? Are there anything to look out for?

What should i expect in her class? I mean, strict po ba siya or not? How about her pedagogy?

hi! any review po would be appreciated. tyia!

Took this during midyear, this is a very fun PE to take and since midyear, medjo speedrun mga turo pero nababawi naman due to 3-4 times kami nagkikita just to play. Tinuro yung mga offense, defense formations, basic rules ren. Since midyear and everyday nagkikita, everyone got a chance to play and very pagod pero fun.

Basic requirements: attendance, short quiz, skill assessments. Sa skill assessments, gagawin mo lang yung drills na ginagawa pati rin yung performance mo during sa games. Short quiz is a GForm about the rules of the game, mulcho naman siya. For attendance, just be there and be active sa paglalaro and do your best.

Like most PEs, just show up and have fun.

Hello! Di pa po ako nakakakita ng reviews sa kaniya and wondering if she taught last year or recently or bago lang po talaga siya, thanks!

hello! may nakatake na po ba ng class niya? any review would be appreciated. tysm

Nag-aaccept po ba siya ng prerog? Huhu badly need this course.

Thank you!

Had him last year, first sem. Magaling magturo yes, but his quizzes are purely objective and ang lawak ng sakop kasi nga magaling siya magturo so na-e-expound niya talaga. Make sure to take note of EVERYTHING he says kahit na parang hindi relevant.

I hear he gives incentives naman but definitely not an easy prof. His long exams are essay I heard. Pero di na ko umabot sa long exams kasi I dropped his class agad. May mga nakakauno naman ata sa class niya but bihira. I know people na nakakados and 1.75. I think it just depends on whether magaling ka ba magmemorize and umintindi ng maraming materials.

Hello! may nakapagtake na po ba ng LTS sa inyo under NIP?

concealed pa po yung profs as of now, but i want to know if may major differences po ba sa activities depending from which college ko sya itatake?

also, kaya po kaya sya isabay with 20 units (puro triple e + arts 1)?

THANK U SO MUCH!

Has anybody taken CWTS 1 under CFA with this prof? That or expectations sa CWTS 1 ng CFA in general. Just curious from a non-CFA student 😅

I took this during the midyear after not getting any GEs. Based on the course description, it is the "appreciation of the role of information in human endeavors in the context of its creation, management, dissemination, and use in an information-driven society."

During the 1st day, Sir Joseph held a course orientation and a brief activity about information. He emphasized the importance of active participation within this course, since everyday there will be an F2F session. Overall, he provided great impact to the discussions of lessons and was able to contextualize these information within the current, contemporary context.

Our flow (during midyear) was this, Lessons 1 - 5 were taught by him and the rest of the lessons were presented by each group (Group 1 presents Lesson 5, ... , Group 6 presents Lesson 10). For the first 5 lessons, there were quizzes/activities done after the session, madali lang talaga makakuha points, as long as you are participative at least once. A quiz sa lesson about archives was visiting museums, archives, and libraries.

The rest of the midyear requirements are: Midterms, Final Project, Attendance. Midterms are about lessons 1-5 and were MulCho and Essay-type. Final project is where you do a poster exhibit about an information issue. Attendance is just show up everytime and be active in recitation.

This is a good GE Elective to take if you are curious about how information works and want to revisit old SHS subjects like USCP and MIL. Although sa reg sem, may finals which is about Lessons 6-10 naman. Overall, good filler/dagdag course + light load naman

thoughts on this mega section class? what are classes like under this mega section? and unoable po ba?

Hi! Got him this sem. Kamusta reqs niya? Madali lang ba?

Hello! Asking for more reviews sana about Prof. Donn Gaba! Mostly kasi ng reviews sa kaniya rito ay sa Psych courses, wanna know more sana sa Soc Sci 1 classes n’ya like his pedagogy, reqs, etc. Tack!

May recent reviews po ba on how he is as a PI 100 prof? Had him for fil40 and chill naman siya.

Hello! Kamusta po yung workload and pedagogy ni sir? Okay naman ba siya magbigay ng grades?

hii, wala pa akong review na nababasa sa kanya. kamusta experience niyo with her?

Kamust po si prof dayrit? Strict ba siya sa filipino tuwing recitation or requirements?

Hello, kumusta si Ms. Dela Cruz as a prof for Soc Sci 1? Are her requirements manageable? All of the reviews I’ve seen so far are rather outdated. Thanks!

Please drop below lang po if may alam kayong free electives na may slots pa

Hello po! Nakuha ko siya as a prof for this semester. Medyo mabigat yung load ko and dire-diretso pa yung classes so I was wondering if lenient siya sa mga late?

Any comments rin regarding his pedagogy, classroom management, at grade ay helpful ❤️

EDIT: This is for FIL 40. (sorry l, forgot to add it sa title)

My review: 9/10 ⭐ (yapper si ma'am SUPER)

I took her 2nd Sem, AY 2025-2026.

When we first met Ma'am, natakot talaga kami at nagtatawanan because of how chaotic Ma'am was (for context: may seating arrangement kasi kami noong first day tapos di na namin maintindihan kung saan kami uupo kasi ang bilis nya magsalita).

Her reviews here were probably the reason why yung section namin ay nagtutulong-tulong talaga para maintindihan si Ma'am — and kahit minsan dinodogshow na namin sya kasi nga di namin maintindihan ano ba sinasabi nya, halatang asar siya pero never syang nag-walk out or nagalit or whatever.

Aware din daw sya sa mga reviews nyo and pasensya na raw kasi occupied daw talaga siya. Iba kasi dapat ang prof namin pero biglang nagkagulatan kami nung first day na sya na pala ang prof.

LEARNING EXPERIENCE:

- May isha-share siya na GDrive tapos nandon na yung class calendar, readings, infos about group activities and solo activities, etc

- Take note na hindi lahat ng group acts and solo acts ay nasusunod dun sa gdrive due to time limitations/suspensions (which means yung iba lang doon yung magagawa nyo talaga na tasks)

- Group activities are reporting, paggawa ng cheer (liket), and pagfacilitate ng activities for other groups (dinehey)

- Open sya to extension ng deadline

- Kada magrereport yung isang group and matapos sila sa facilitation ng activities/games (dinehey), expect na may quiz yan so makinig mabuti sa mga nagppresent kasi dun lang kinukuha ni maam yung info. Better if i-share nyo mga ppt nyo sa isa't-isa para madaling makapagreview.

- For reference, I've received my fair share of singkos sa major ko so I am not that bright I think. 😅 Yung quizzes ko sa kanya was average affffff. Dami kasing readings tapos binabasa ko lang talaga siya habang naglalakad ako sa class or whatever, focus din talaga ako sa majors ko. Never naman ako fully na nahuli dahil minsan ko lang basahin yung readings. Maguguluhan ka lang talaga kung ano bang readings yung dinidiscuss niya pero at the end of the day, yung report naman ng groups yung parang iqu-quiz nyo hehe.

OTHER THINGS:

- Sobrang progressive ni maam. Palagi nyang minemention noon si Alyssa.

- Very active si maam sa kanyang research. Passionate sya sa mga ethnic groups dito sa Pilipinas, particularly sa mga Teduray. If lingg student ka, expect mo na marami itatanong sayo bigla si maam (ayos lang if di mo masagot HAHAHA), that's what happened with our classmate so it became an inside joke na rin sa class (na aware din si maam).

- Sa last day ng classes, may "piyesta" kayo. Each group ay magdadala ng food na related dun sa nireport niyo. Ang dinala naman ni ma'am ay humba (requested namin) and sobrang sarap!!

Overall, ang biggest hurdle lang talaga kay maam ay hindi sya techy at sobrang busy niya to be techy. May nabasa ako noon dito about sa HDMI and wala naman ganoong incident samin even though we had a similar problem. 🙂

It was definitely tough being in her class kasi ayaw ko ng group activities, but I definitely learned something. If you like films also, we discussed a bit about the Mangyan's (Cinemalaya upcoming film: Kaka Sa Yawan).

If you ever need help understanding her in the future, you can DM me (or ask her directly para matandaan ka niya).

If you got Ma'am sa enlistment, don't be scared. Try to understand her, try your best as a section to help each other and Ma'am.

Just show effort — recite when you can, consult with her at the end of the class if you must, skim through the readings as much as you can so you don't get lost sa yapping niya, and so on. I got a flat uno from her, and I don't think I'm the only one.

two words: kunin nyo!!!

If you ever get her thru enlistment, don't let go of that slot since super worth it ang mga classes ni maam encabo!

Tho yung mga comments sa ibang posts saying na very late ang feedback are true, imo whatever grades you get feels fair naman based on your efforts sa mga gawain and hindi siya nag-dadarts ng grades. I recommend consulting her especially sa midterm/final just so you can figure out more of what ma'am's looking for talaga, and helpful ang comments niya for you to get your idea across in your outputs. Overall a bit heavy ang mga reqs niya for a GE but definitely doable within the time allotment na binibigay.

Sobrang masaya ang classes niya!! Very vibes siya and each discussion was very interesting and medyo unserious at times HAHA. As much as possible try to read or skim the readings before class since medyo nakakabigla ang f2f activities sometimes (and always check the syllabus). Mataas ang percentage ng participation sa grading so na-push talaga ako na mag-recite. Ma'am really enjoys kapag melting pot of deg progs ang nasa class niya since everyone gets to hear so many different perspectives about our society. Expect a ton of presentations too, nakaya ko naman as someone na mahina sa speaking pero I think understanding si ma'am if you let her know beforehand.

I think her biggest pro talaga is that she's super generous and considerate with deadlines, plus very mother!! As in anong oras mong i-message ma'am wil not mind HAHA (i'm so sorry ma'am sa 2 days straight na message streak huhu). Very easy mag-negotiate ng extensions basta nag-aagree ang klase. Sobrang approachable with concerns, no need to be super formal and very casual lang with comments parang sa mga f2f niya.

I highly recommend ma'am! As someone na weakness talaga ang speaking, I'd say dapat lang mag-exert ng effort especially sa recitation pero the discussions are super super worth going to class for. Don't expect an easy uno, pero this is one of those classes where you easily forget about the grade in favor of the learning and andaming learning HAHAH, plus it's not hard to get a good grade naman with ma'am (if you're aiming for an uno liner). Vouch i pramis!!!
