AY 2014-2015 Academic Calendar

UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES DILIMAN!"!#$%&""!($)#!*+,-!./0123/0145

6789-8,+/:;714?9:/014@AB8C1A

What to expect: Administrative Law Professor: Prof. Alfredo Molo III Textbooks/Materials used for the entire semester: Agpalo, A2015 Reviewer, Beda Reviewer, Admin. Code Book 7, Constitution, Admin Code books from the library, De Leon From a range of 1 -5 with 1 being the highest and 5 being the lowest, how would you rate your professor? Average: 2.82 Scores: 3, 3, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, 3, 3, 2, 4 What can you say about your professor?

Recitation is still random. Agpalo is a useful book but not required. Discussion is based on the book. General sentiment is that the grades were issued randomly.

Same teaching style as Legal Method. I think same grade binigay niya halos sa lahat. He talks a lot about non -Admin Law stuff (but are still relevant in your legal profession).

The discussions are simple and straight to the point but he does ask a lot of good questions that would force you to think outside the box.

When he teaches the subject, he teaches it very well. But 70% of the class is about his "mission" as a professor to lead students into a healthy practice of profession. More of like a legal ethics class.

Darts Mahirap siya timplahin. Very moody. Pero oks naman siya magturo. "Power trips" on "favorite" students. Try to be low profile during the start of the sem. For

students whom he notices ( for example, fell asleep, came in late, laughed when something wasnt funny, top 5 students in the batch), expect to be called almost every meeting.

Mas bagay siyang prof sa Legal Method kaysa sa Admin. Very strict. You cant even look at the clock while hes holding class because hell think

you cant wait to leave his class. Got a lot of nice life/lawyer life advice from the prof but very temperemental Moody in class. Vague basis for final grade

Please provide tips that you think would be helpful for th e sophomores:

Dont be on his bad side so you dont get called for recitation for more than necessary. Wala, darts talaga. Sana maswerte kayo sa darts. Read the reviewers. They do help. Read books outside of the scope of the class for the departmentals. Pray na maganda yung tama ng darts sayo. And kupal si sir, sana wag ka nyang makupal.

Pero may point naman yung pangugupal niya. And alam mong performance lang yun to make you a better student. Pero darts talaga si sir.

Yung exam more of application ng laha t ng tinuro niya. Stick to the law and the cases. Thats pretty much it, no need to read annotations. Get only the gist of the case. He doesnt like going into the details. Also, be on your

toes. He likes hypothetical problems. Study, look submissive, be bibo but not mayabang, be quiet I dont think anyone read the entire administrative code. Very few provisions were

discussed, so focus on the doctrines.

What to expect: Administrative Law Professor: Dean Salvador Carlota Textbooks/Materials used for the entire semester: None except laws & cases assigned, A2015 Admin Law Reviewer (for recits and exams), No prescribed textbook, Beda Reviewer, Laws and Jurisprudence From a range of 1 -5 with 1 being the highest and 5 being the lowest, how would you rate your professor? Average: 1.62 Scores: 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 4 What can you say about your professor?

You will learn for sure When you say the word hes looking for, youre good and hell take over the discussion. Canalized Dean Carlotas Admin Law was definitely one of the lighter subjects during that

semester. His class could be best described as maximum learning through minimum effort, meaning you could survive the class using the reviewer and/or digests only, not to mention that Dean Carlota clearly has mastery over the subject.

THE BEST. His teaching style is very structured. The semester starts out slow but he picks up the

pace once he feels that the class is prepared to handle more cases. He gives 1 or 2 high grades at the end. Dean Carlota teaches Admin Law well. After the sem. The student will still remember

the concepts taught in his class. Very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and does not need other materials to discuss the

subject. Comes to class without notes but knows all the cases an d the laws. 1 case per student sa recit. Mix of cases and concepts sa exam. Discussion will mostly be

cases. Memorize his definition of administrative law because its a useful catch -all response for

his exam. Checks attendance, gives extra points for tho se who are never absent. I think thats what saved me from failing because I wasnt able to study for his finals.

Try not to get bored or fall asleep in class because you might miss something. His discussions are meaty, so take notes. Asks students to memorize certain definitions. Siya ang master ng Admin. Textbook nyo na yung reviewer niya.

Hes fair. He conducts recitation mainly about the cases assigned. You dont have to be very particular about all the facts.

Please provide tips that you think would b e helpful for the sophomores:

study all the cases for real Read all the cases and note what he says about them. Also, study samplexes. Nothing except to study Use the reviewers. Recitations are relatively quick, so focus on the doctrines. Make sure you stay awake. His classes are usually early in the morning. His mind is still

sharp; do not try to bullshit your way around him. ALWAYS answer the question! Do not try to work your way around a recit.

One can survive on digests alone. The recitations are ver y quick -- you must know how to identify the doctrine. There are even cases when the recitation does not even last more than a minute.

What to expect: Administrative Law PLEASE PROVIDE TIPS THAT YOU THINK WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR THE INCOMING SOPHOMORES

Make a block digest pool and digest the cases before the sem even starts. This way, you can exert your time during the sem to other subjects such as CivPro. Use A2015s reviewer. Everythings there.

If you get Dean Carlota, study the cases in advance. Make digests BEFORE class starts. Digest pool Likes the basics, or as he says, the "Pepe and Pilar." There is a reviewer at Blessings that

can help. Memorize the definition of Administrative Law. Has a slight bias towards girls. Lumabas

last year sa finals yung requisites for subpoena. His outline is based on Justice Cortes book.

You can just focus on the facts and issues relevant to the subject heading. Always read the dissenting opinion!

Professor: Jose Layug Textbooks/Materials used for the entire semeste r: Admin Law by Cruz From a range of 1 -5 with 1 being the highest and 5 being the lowest, how would you rate your professor? Average: 2 Scores: 1, 3 What can you say about your professor?

Chill magturo. Chill. 1 to 2 people recite per class, but they rec ite a lot of cases. Meron naman digests.

Please provide tips that you think would be helpful for the incoming sophomores:

Just listen to him. listen to the prof, read the cases

What to expect: Credit Transactions Professor: Prof. Hector de Leon Textbo oks/Materials used for the entire semester: De Leon Book and Codal From a range of 1 -5 with 1 being the highest and 5 being the lowest, how would you rate your professor? Average: 2.44 Scores: 2, 4, 1, 1, 4, 1, 5, 3, 1 What can you say about your profess or?

Recitation is based on syllabus. His book is too redundant. You can live by the codal. Exam is easy.

Voluntary recit for cases, and summary before class. Repeats everything you say sa recit. Follows the rules, 1% per point sa midterms and finals. Madal i midterms, MCQ. Also sa finals madali rin kasi basic yung questions. He is very fair.

He knows everything by heart. He speaks, breathes and eats credit transactions. I like that he shares to us his work experience that is relevant to the topic, so it is easier to understand the application of the topics

Hes really really good. His lectures are enough for you to make your own reviewer. Just remember everything he will teach in class because those will be the only ones that will be asked in the exams. Exams are easy to perfect :)

Chill. :) MCQ for the midterms na 1% of the grade each question. Madali yung finals. Spoonfeed kung spoonfeed. Very fair. Very nice guy. Hindi namamahiya. Yun nga lang,

he gives the answer agad pag mali ka. The best. Effective tea ching method. Chill recits. Hes very nice, so dont abuse it. He likes making mind maps. Hes a bit scatter -brained. Hes so nice! Fair. Does not embarrass students. Exams are based on codal + his book.

Please provide tips that you think would be helpfu l for the sophomores:

Not a hard prof. No need for survival tips. Read the codal plenty of times because they are indeed helpful. Read any book while trying to create practical examples in your head. Credit

Transactions is a very practical subject. Be patient kasi paulit ulit si sir pero its for your benefit naman. :) Read his book! And study for the midterms and finals. Useful subject in the future, particular in corporation/commercial law. Take note of these maps. Better yet, try getting a copy from a n upper batch. Sobrang

unreliable yung textbook niya for his own class. (kind of ironic, huh?) Just read De Leon and study the codal.

What to expect: Credit Transactions Professor: Prof. Rocky Reyes Textbooks/Materials used for the entire semester: Credit Transactions by De Leon From a range of 1 -5 with 1 being the highest and 5 being the lowest, how would you rate your professor? Average: 3.6 Scores: 3, 3, 4, 3, 5, What can you say about your professor?

Very slow pace He tells a lot of stories. Prof. Reyes is highly intelligent. However, this does not really manifest in the way he

teaches. He can waste two hours of a three -hour class talking about things that are not even remotely related to Credit Transactions. He has, in other words, a habit of goi ng off on a tangent.

Loves to share a lot of stories. He does not teach. In a three -hour class, you can spend two hours talking about anything

but Credit. He fails a certain percentage of students, regardless of what score they achieved.

Please provide tips that you think would be helpful for the sophomores:

Study the provisions and memorize them if you can Learn to answer his exams quickly. His recitations barely make a blip in your grade. Focus on the exams. He usually fails the

bottom 10% of the class, unless a lot of people have already dropped. Given that his exams are time pressure

Study on your own. He guides rather than teaches. Youll be pressured to study for the bar. HAHAHA!

Study on your own. You cannot hope to learn anything about Credit fro m Rocky Reyes. Be mindful of your scores as well. If you are at or near the bottom of the class in terms of standing, you had better drop the course.

Professor: Prof. Stephanie Gomez-Somera Textbooks/Materials used for the entire semester: Someras book (can be bought at the Law Center) From a range of 1 -5 with 1 being the highest and 5 being the lowest, how would you rate your professor? Average: 2.33 Scores: 1, 4, 1, 2, 1, 5 What can you say about your professor?

The Devil Who Wears Prada Prof. Somera is very strict. You have to study well before every session. But rounds ang

recits so prepare well if you know you will get called. Finals is everything. Fail her finals and you will surely fail her class. Too strict and intimidating; the material slips f rom ones mind because of fear. Very good. Sobrang galing niya

What to expect: Credit Transactions What can you say about your professor?

Reminds me of Miranda Priestly from the Devil Wears Prada. Her book is badly formatted but its good at explaini ng concepts.

you will surely learn Credit Transactions and a lot of practical litigation tips. Passing is not a certainty though, as she one of the most demanding professors in UP Law. Masaya yung contract negotiation exercise.

Shes scary at first but she mellows down after a few sessions. Please provide tips that you think would be helpful for the sophomores:

Hmm...idk Read her book for every session and always be prepared for recitation. Dont try to hope

that you wont be called. There are no shortcuts. Study!! Read in advance. Study the cases. Review previous subjects like Property Law and

ObliCon. Memorize her book. Understand the cases well Make sure you dont just parrot her book. She will ask you to apply the lesson in real life

and ask you for stra tegies For the exam, she asked a lot about the special topics - letters of credit,

warehousemans lien, trust receipt - so study that, we also had a fria question. Fair exam She wont check your final exam if you dont pass her passing grade sa recitation Volunteer for reporting Attendance is checked every meeting She failed some people in our class. People you didnt expect. So study hard Masungit during recits, just be respectful and reasonably assertive and youll be fine. DO

NOT BE MAHIYAIN/GIVE THE APPEARANCE THAT YOURE SCARED UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES. Shows people their recit grades towards the end of the class. She grades reasonably, unless you gave her the impression that youre mahiyain/scared.

Understand the codal provisions well and youll do well i n the exam. The exam is important. Just because you have good recits does not mean you will pass the subject - this happened to a couple classmates of mine.

Finalist si Maam. She looks for ""magic words"". Kung bagsak, bagsak so STUDY HARD FOR THE FINALS. Wag papasok nang di handa. Kayo rin. Pwedeng mag-volunteer, pero paghandaan. Kung hindi, kayo rin...

Exam niya last year: pledge, FRIA, tapos may interest [yun lang naalala ko]. May transaction tapos ipapa -identify sa inyo kung anong contract yun. Dapat alam nyo yung mga elements.

Dean also specializes in Credit kaya most likely 100 items yung MCQ nyo. Read the assigned pages of her book at least twice. Memorize the articles. She loves it if

you recite without looking at anything.

What to expect: Credit Transactions Professor: Prof. Raul Vasquez Textbooks/Materials used for the entire semester: Codal, Cases, De Leon/Someras book From a range of 1 -5 with 1 being the highest and 5 being the lowest, how would you rate your professor? Average: 3 Scores: 4, 3, 2 What can you say about your professor?

hes ok. whimsical and capricious, but not an asshole. if you can endure the recits, the exams will more than make up for it. hes very generous with partial points, so just answer all of the questions (dont linger too long on any one question) and you can pass. has favorites, more forgiving towards girls, but he isnt, like, extra unfair towards boys or anything.

Has favorites. Masungit to the guys in the class. Girls should make "pacute" hahaha Labo kausap, weird questions during recit, but fun prof


credit also encompasses chattel mortgage, letters of credit, trust receipts, warehouse receipts and financial insolvency and rehabilitatio n. for these parts, you may want to be aided by annotations, since they can be a bit complicated.

Use the Block C Reviewer. Brush up on your OBLICON (memorize rescissbile, voidable and void contracts), PERSONS and PROPERTY. No looking at notes when reciting. No need of detailed recitation of cases. The summaries in the reviewer will do.

Finish the exam Professor: Prof. Mark Dennis Joven Textbooks/Materials used for the entire semester: None, digest group From a range of 1 -5 with 1 being the highest and 5 being the lowest, how would you rate your professor? Average: 3 Scores: 3, 3 What can you say about your professor?

a little cranky sometimes, but mabait. Recit is around 1 case per student. Exam questions have both definitions and enumeration based on codal/landmark cases and situational.

Please provide tips that you think would be helpful for the incoming sophomores:

Listen to him. Good to take banking with credit transactions. Form a digest group

What to expect: Labor and Social Legislation 2 Professor: Prof. Leo Battad Textbooks/Materials used for the entire semester: Azucena (optional) and codal, Everyones Labor Code by Azucena From a range of 1 -5 with 1 being the highest and 5 being the lowest, how would you rate your professor? Average: 2.62 Scores: 1, 5, 1, 1, 3, 4, 3, 2, 5, 1, 1, 5, 2 What can you say about your professor?

Requires a lot of diligence. Handwritten notes. Has high standards but a nice professor. HAND WRITTEN NOTES!! Likes it if students wont read their notes. DONT EVER APPEAR

IN CLASS WITH OTHER PERSONS NOTES. (or galingan niyo dumiskarte) Midterms ang hirap, pero s/he is generous sa partial points for finals na BTW ay cover to

cover! Enjoyed her class and learned a lot She is a very passionate labor lawyer and will instil in you the necessary heart for the

laborers. She is very precise and accurate with the labor laws, which is very important for this kind of subject.

Haha. Alam nyo na yan. Always side on the rights of the workers. Waste of time. She has very high expectations from every student. If you can choose to not look at your

notes, then please do, so you can have a higher grade. Be CONFIDENT when answering questions. Exams are really really hard so study labor everyday.

Sobrang matrabaho si maam pero ang dami naming natutunan!

What to expect: Labor and Social Legislation 2 - Please provide tips that you think would be helpful for the sophomores:

Write down the laws and case digests in advance, i.e. BE FORE classes start Handwritten You need to think like an employee to understand this subject more. Read the codals and

jurisprudence prudently. Sulat lang kayo ng notes, and wag kayo mandaya kasi helpful siya lalo na sa finals. Advise for all those taking Battad -- spend more time understanding the law and the

cases than on writing the provisions verbatim. Hate her Magsulat na ng codal and RRs habang maaga pa!!! You can only bring handwritten notes to class. This aint all bad if you know how to take

notes. Short lesson on taking notes while studying: Do: write systematically, succinctly and most of all, write with yourself in mind. Write for

you, not for her. Dont: write the provisions verbatim. Its a massive waste of time and ink.

Also, dont be afraid to speak your mind. No need to read the thicker Azucena. The Azucena lite [Everyones Labor Code by

Azucena] was enough for me--although you really have to read the annotations before class. Everyone knows that you need to handwrite everything, but focus on writing the provisions since there are harder questions on the law. For cases, just read the digests and take minimal notes (except for her favorite cases --take note of the quotable quotes like that "sesementohan para kahit ipis ay di makakapasok" somet hing) since recits are just facts -ratio.

Professor: Prof. Daway Textbooks/Materials used for the entire semester: Azucena From a range of 1 -5 with 1 being the highest and 5 being the lowest, how would you rate your professor? Average: 3.6 Scores: 2, 5, 3 , 3, 5 What can you say about your professor?

Normal pace. Maam Daway is very nice as a teacher she is very nice and very knowledgeable about labor. do not abuse her kindness. her

exams are a bit difficult, but theyre fair. she might make you do a group case study of an employer-union relationship or something similar.

Unlike Professor Battad, she doesnt require handwritten notes (at least when we had her).

Mabait. Very minimal effort needed. Just come to class having read the provisions and the digests and youll be fine.

She is very motherly.

Please provide tips that you think would be helpful for the incoming sophomores: focus on the most important provisions of law, since there are many laws and memorizing

all of them would be futile CODAL CODAL CODAL. pay attention to the modifications that have been made to the

labor code by the IRR, as well as supreme court interpretations of certain concepts. jurisdiction is a bit complicated in labor, so pay very close attention.

She gives higher recit grades to those who recite without looking

What to expect: Civil Procedure Professor: Prof. Eleazar Textbooks/Materials used for the entire semester: Riano, Remedial Law by Herrera, Codal, Beda Reviewer From a range of 1 -5 with 1 being the hi ghest and 5 being the lowest, how would you rate your professor? Average: 3.54 Scores: 5, 3, 2, 4, 2, 3, 4, 4, 3, 3, 3, 2, 5 What can you say about your professor?

Nice with recits. Does rounds until round 2. Exam is easy if you study. You will not learn from him. This is purely self -help.

MAG-ARAL KAYO KAHIT SOBRANG NAKAKATAMAD SIYA. YOU ARE GOING TO NEED IT I SWEAR!!! (Retain the all caps please para intense kasi i swear matalino si Sir pero masyado siyang mabait (albeit nambagsak siya samin ng 3 students!!!) kaya katamad mag-aral) AGAIN, MAG-ARAL KAYO MAMATAY KAYO SA MCQ!! But Sir is really smart, and he knows the subject very well. Kaya makinig kayo sa kanya. His exam questions, sinasabi niya sa class, so listen to his discussions kahit sobrang boring.

He is an amazing and smart remedial lawyer. The only downside is that he is too smart to translate everything into simple terms. Sometimes he forgets that we dont know that much yet about the topic.

Very fast paced. Hes funny but you wont finish the s yllabus. Prof. Eleazar seems to be a brilliant litigator. However, he is not able to impart his

knowledge of CivPro to his students effectively. Yet another professor who does not teach very well. Be prepared to study on your own. Eleazar: soft voice, somewhat confusing. Gives equally confusing exams but he says he

grades fairly. Did not return said exams, however. Hes smart but he doesnt teach properly. He expects you to have mastered the subject

when you come to class since he will be asking advance level questions. So its a self-study class. But the brighter side is that you can come to class unprepared (well I guess he doesnt really grade your recitations) as you can just read off from your reviewers the answers to his questions and the digests of the cases.

Sobrang boring ni sir. Hindi siya magaling magmotivate or magpaintindi. Chill professor. Self -study for the whole sem, youll just be discussing cases during class.

You can get by with digests, just dont cram everything in the end. CivPro wil l be very difficult to understand when you cram it.

Open ended, no structure. Perfect combination for not studying. They say di siya nambabagsak. Its not true.

Self-study.

What to expect: Civil Procedure Please provide tips that you think would be help ful for the sophomores:

Read all sample questions in Riano before taking midterms/finals. Most likely the question is already there.

MAG-ARAL KAYO. Arellano notes are really helpful. And alam ni Sir na nag-eexist siya =)) Also, Block B 2015 case digests.

Read the ROC over and over again. Memorize if you can. self-study should be intense Herrera sucks. Dont waste your time on that book. Self-study. Some of the questions in the recitations come from Riano, so it might be

useful to read both Herrera and Rian o if you have the time. Study on your own. Prof. Eleazar will rush through remedial law in order to finish it on

time. The exams are also very difficult. Consult the bar questionnaires for exercises. Eleazar: Read Riano. He has a detailed outline (find t his online or ask from

upperclassmen) which will help for the first few weeks of the semester. Beyond that, Riano!

Codal, codal, and more codal. Same technique you will use for all remedial law subjects. Makinig kayo sa lectures niya kahit walang incentive . Super chill ng recit i think hindi

graded. Pero makinig kayo at mag-aral pa rin sa class kahit na super katamad pumasok. Basahin mo yung beda at codal, oks ka na. CODAL Start with the rules of court, go to the cases, read the annotations only if you don t

understand the rule. Civ Pro is a gargantuan subject. It wont help if you rely on this professor to learn. Youll have to study almost entirely on your own here.

Self. Study.

Professor: Prof. Calica Textbooks/Materials used for the entire semester: Rules of Court, Riano, Bautista, Regalado, Beda Reviewer From a range of 1 -5 with 1 being the highest and 5 being the lowest, how would you rate your professor? Average: 3.5 Scores: 4, 3, 2, 5, What can you say about your professor?

it seems like he focu ses on cases, but actually roc is the most important to him (as it should tbh). he will keep calling people until someone says the right answer. hes nice, wont shout or anything like that. group reports supplement classes.

Hes slow in moving on in the outline, so hell probably just lecture on the last few page(s) by himself in the last meeting(s) without having recitations.

Discussions and recitations are very detailed, so note the factual details in cases; as this is a procedure class. Very lenient and easygoing but asks difficult questions during recit. Kabisado niya lahat ng kaso as in. Di kayo makakalusot pag di nyo alam yung details. No one (AFAIK) has seen him get angry, kaya wag nyo na lang subukan. Always comes in late (so class is always extended); usually does not show up on the first day. Hindi nambabagsak.

What to expect: Civil Procedure Please provide tips that you think would be helpful for the incoming sophomores:

Read the rules of court. seriously. before you even think about reading the cases, read the assigned rules and sections. unless your professor is ridiculously thorough (aka prof avena) the chances that you will finish all 71 rules is nil. prepare and study accordingly.

there may be a new set of rules of civil procedure to be prom ulgated by 2015-6. just a heads up :)

Calls out people at random, so some may not get to recite until the very end of the semester. Has a ""handwritten -notes only"" policy, but does not usually enforce it . To be sure, keep handwritten notes in handy para may ""pantakip"". :D

Exams: Modified true or false; essay. Jurisdiction lang idi -discuss hanggang midterm; tapos mabilisan na lahat afterwards

(reporting na lang), so self -study na lang.

Professor: Prof. Lumba Textbooks/Materials used for the entire seme ster: Rules of Court From a range of 1 -5 with 1 being the highest and 5 being the lowest, how would you rate your professor? Average: 1 What can you say about your professor?

THE BEST. Please provide tips that you think would be helpful for the sophomor es:

Read your codal! Learn his style when it comes to answering his quizzes. Youll learn a lot if you study well. He focuses on the nuances of the law rather than spoonfeeding you with everything.

Professor: Prof. Victoria Avena Textbooks/Materials used for the entire semester: Herreras annotations on Remedial Law From a range of 1 -5 with 1 being the highest and 5 being the lowest, how would you rate your professor? Average: 3.67 Scores: 4, 4, 3 What can you say about your professor?

Matrabaho. Laging overtime. Detail -oriented. Super detailed when it comes to recitation. Memorize the provisions verbatim. You will

need hardcopies of the cases so you can keep up with her especially when youre on deck. Recitation will last a minimum of 3 days in order t o get a passing grade.

Brilliant but impatient Please provide tips that you think would be helpful for the sophomores:

study hard She hates people who are unprepared. Mapapa-sitdown ka agad, which means you get a

4 or worse 5 as your recit grade. STUDY HARD and dont lose your mind

What to expect: Agency & Partnership Professor: Prof. Dionne Sanchez Textbooks/Materials used for the entire semester: Agency & Partnership by De Leon, Beda Reviewer From a range of 1 -5 with 1 being the highest and 5 being th e lowest, how would you rate your professor? Average: 2.2 Scores: 1, 2, 2, 2, 4 What can you say about your professor?

She bases her rules on her impression of the block, whether the block studies hard or not.

Prof. Sanchez is a good professor, though she is a bit strict. During my time, we were only allowed to have our syllabi and codals on the desk. I heard that the incoming juniors were only allowed to have their syllabi on their desks.

Shes really nice. The ladies need to up their game since she expects more from you. She is a good professor and teaches well. She has a clean table policy, so be prepared to

write your notes on your syllabus. Even the codal is not allowed. If any of your gadgets make sound(s) during class, shell give a quiz.


Study hard from the get -go and she will be more lenient on materials allowed during class. memorize provisions on agency.

Master the annotations. Most, if not all of her questions come from D e Leons annotations. The block must make a good impression, lest her displeasure towards the class be reflected in her exams.

She may seem nice but do not test her patience! Study for class since its only once a week. Do well during recits because its 50% of the grade! Study your codal for the exams.

Read the annotations very well, as her recitations are highly dependent on those. Try to answer as quickly as possible as she is impatient. Lastly, try to make a good impression as a block. It will determin e your grades and the difficulty of your final exam.
