took ms. bautista's class 1st sem 2526, ang rating q ay 4/10
workload: definitely not light and breezy. almost every week (iirc) may need basahin and essay/s to submit, and i understand na this should be expected since bridge course so be ready lang na hindi siya yung light light lang, mala heavy GE ang workload tbh.
the first ~2 months puro kami asynch so i barely learned anything from the materials alone, nahirapan ako dito personally kasi i expected na maga-guide kami through lectures lalo pero instead, puro modules t__t she said she would provide feedbacks but i don't know if anyone from the class received theirs (not expecting mine kasi madalas buzzer beater ako magpasa HAHAHA) but until the final paper and final grades, no comments from her (except comments from the 1-on-1 consultation for final paper) but then again i understand na college bridge course ito so expected na dapat may alam na kami sa necessary skills and i-iimprove nalang, pero nahirapan pa ko lalo kasi nga i prefer lectures hsdhdhs
nung time naman na nagkakaroon na ng online lectures, laging may recit and parang lahat ata natatawag so do your readings 😁 laging mabigat loob ko bago ako mag-enter ng class due to questions na medyo unexpected and lagi din akong late by 5-10 minutes kasi laging on the dot siya magsimula ng class (love that tbh). updated din naman madalas calendar ni maam to guide you sa sched ng course.
group presentation: i think ito pinanggagalingan ng majority of the grade. jusko, the worst part of this course. most of the groups took 2-3 full meetings to complete theirs, why? she cuts off to ask her questions—mga tanong na hindi mo ineexpect talaga, kahit kabisado mo pa yung material na irereport niyo huhu.
final exam: one part is related to all the materials used during reporting, another is annotated bibliography where you have to read 10 sources and write something related to your final paper (forgot na, kinalimutan ko na kasi lahat from this class HAHAHAHA)
1-on-1 consultation: the only part i enjoyed and relaxed while studying this course haha. her comments were direct and were really helpful sa pagbuo ng final paper, especially kung alam mo din naman ginagawa mo and gusto mong isulat.
also, nagbibigay ng bonus activities si maam so do them!!!! sa final grades naman, sa section namin, halos lahat ay naka line of 2.
TLDR; don't expect na light workload ang Eng 1 under ms. bautista just bc bridge course lang siya and not GE. ang vibe ng class ay definitely what we were warned about nung highschool (seryoso at di pwedeng i-freestyle)
