UP offers a wide
selection of classes for students to take. There are more or less a
hundred of different electives and majors one can choose from during
preenlistment. I remember feeling so overwhelmed during the first time I
opened my preenlistment module. At the time of my enrollment, students
could take any GE course they wanted to take. The RGEP curriculum was not
yet implemented so the number of GE classes to choose were numerous.
There were so many choices that I could choose from to cater to my interests
and needs that I did not know what to choose. All of them seemed
interesting to my eyes.
Since I was so confused at that time, I did what I usually do when I am lost on
a subject matter I needed to know about. I consulted the web. I found
forums that had long threads about the classes and the professors in the
university. They discussed what classes and professors were good, and
which ones should students avoid. From these discussions, I concluded
that there were 5 types of classes in the university.
The first type and most talked about one was the classes that would get you a
high grade. These classes were either easy, or had professors
which were quite lenient when it comes to grading students. These classes
were also the ones that had a very high demand when it comes to
preenlistment. So if you don’t get it during the first or second batch
run, then you should either line up very early for the subject, beg a professor
to let you in his/her class, or just give up on it.
The second type are the classes which you have to take because they are
required on your curriculum. There is not much to say about these
classes. Whether they are easy or difficult, you don’t have any choice
but to take them anyway. The only thing you can do is pray that the
professors offering the classes are good.
The third type are the classes that you avoid because of the professor.
There are numerous threads that talk about this because it seems that there are
some professors who just love giving low grades to students, some even get
pleasure from actually failing students. Though most professors are
avoided because of the grades that they give, some are also avoided because
they are quite bad when it comes to their teaching skills. Their methods
may be quite boring, outdated, or maybe they just aren’t suited for the job
that they have.
The fourth type are the classes that you take because you like the
professor. This is the exact opposite of the third type. Students
seem to love these professors because they either give high grades, are good at
teaching, or maybe even both!
Lastly, the fifth type are the classes that you take because they are the only
ones that fit in your schedule and you have no choice but to take them this
coming semester. They may be hard, and have the worst professors you can
possibly imagine, but you have no choice but to take them. That is of
course assuming that you don’t want to be delayed.
Just like how they say that you can find different types of students in the
university, the same can be said for the classes it offers too.
