Fall 2023 - Don't take this class. The workload is insane bc tell me why it's more work than the two other stem classes I took... I wanted to learn my language but this class made me wish I just took Spanish. She's very strict with grading and will take 10 points off for the dumbest things like capitalizing a letter in a list and not putting a comma. The workbook assignments would be 40+ pages in a week and lowkey kinda racist (she wrote it herself too, there was a section saying that Indonesians are more brown than Filipinos... like what...) Tita is sweet but will probably gaslight you. The final was 3 hours long and was basically just the old quizzes and then she had an essay portion which is so crazy for the first intro class cause girl... you treat us like we are all fluent. The class is also conducted all in Tagalog so good luck if you aren't some-what fluent already. If you wanna stay sane don't take this class.
