in the succeeding terms, i made sure that i am going to teach the regular offering of physics. i wanted to find out who among these wide-eyed (steffi included) late teeners will be up to the challenges i was going to throw their laps. in the four terms that i had them under my spell, i got to know them so well that i can put each one in his/her own category.
THE SOURCE - this student has the brain the heart. he/she not only can easily get what i'm blabbering about in class (and therefore can easily ace the quizzes), but is also ready to share neurons (as well as answers to homeworks) to his/her not-so-brainiac classmates. GRADE RANGE: 1.50 - 1.00. christian c, mark, jessica t, gathe a., cabbage in phy10 and phy11, to name a few.
THE SERIOUS - maybe this student has a grade to maintain. maybe he/she just likes physics. maybe it's just his/her nature. i bet he/she burns the proverbial midnight candle on the night before an exam. on the exam day itself, he/she is the last one to pass the test booklet. well, it usually pays him/her huge dividends as he/she usually gets good grades. GRADE RANGE: 1.75 - 1.00
erika and josielle are the names that first come to mind.
THE GRADE - classmates and teachers usually call him/her "grade conscious" but i prefer to call him/her this. every quiz, this student utilizes everything in his/her arsenal to squeeze a point (bonus, effort, and pogi/ganda) from me. if all else fails, he/she will be on the verge of spraying me with tears in the hope that i'll give in. GRADE RANGE: it varies. usually better than 2.00. i'd rather not mention names to avoid self-incrimination
THE AVERAGE JOE/JANE - this student just sits there. he/she does what is asked of him/her and gives enough effort to pass. a notch or two above those who get 3.00 everytime. GRADE RANGE: 2.75 - 2.25. i'd rather not mention names to avoid hurting someone's feelings.
THE NONDESCRIPT - who are you? i can't even remember your name. and i'm good at remembering students' names! GRADE RANGE: are you my student? hmmm .... mr. trinidad and mr. soriano, you belong to this category (which one of you is trinidad?)
THE 3.00 - this student gets 3.00 every term. either out of pity or out of luck. he/she thinks that there are only two grades, 3.00 and 5.00. carlo and dexter best describe this category.
THE PET - i just love this student. he/she is the source of my (and everybody's) amusement in class. for whatever reason, this student never fails to make my day. he/she is usually cute. if you belong to this category, you're lucky. your name is forever etched in the trashbin of my brain. hannah my daughter outside, charles, and carlo (again!)
wherever you may fall in the above categories, if you have finished the 4 physics subjects required of you, then i salute you.
thank you for giving me the privilege of being your physics teacher.
thank you for giving me the privilege of becoming my student.
sir salamat sa pagiging prof
ReplyDeletesaka sa pagbigay sakin ng chance
kayo lang yung prof na kilala ko na halos lahat
sa klase kilala
tas nakikisama pa kayo samin
yes tapos ko na physics!!
hehe
ako ata yung "THE 3.00" ah ahaha
maraming salamat sir!!
hindi ko kaya malilimutan huhu
haha
astignaguro.blogspot.com talaga kau! whaha
charles wak ka na iyak...!
ReplyDeletecharles andrama mo. walang iyakan. pasado k na eh. :)) graduate n tayo physics. ;)
ReplyDeletesir thanks rin sa pagtuturo. :D
maraming salamat.
:)) hahah!! ayos sir..
ReplyDeleteWe knew SirJ since p6 one..He teaches p6 in his own unique way..Every meeting he makes us laugh that's why I really love p6 lecture days - you learn while having fun!!Usually very rare in MIT..Since then, me and my 2 other friends decided to 'stalk" (hahah) sirJ for the next p6 courses..It is rare to have such good looking, funny and very good professor!:)) hahah!
We've been together from p6 one to four and the only thing sad for me is that,haha! well i was THE SOURCE(p6 one and two), but for p6 three i was THE 3.00! i am assuming again i am THE 3.00 for p6 four..but i hope not..haha!not a very good reputation to leave..But still, Physics lecture days were the unforgettable days of my damn mapuan life..also those days were the days i had the most fun!
sirJ, thx for all the inputs from p6 one to four.. it has been a privilege becoming your student..you will always be our SPECIAL PROFESSOR..:)) chika2 parin sir pag nagkita ha! can't w8 for the next PSM team building :)) ..More power sirJ - our one most special professor we will never forget! hahah!:))

Sir,
ReplyDeleteMmimiss nmin kayo..... Well I met Mr. Jimenez at Phy10L at dun ako nagkaroon ng unang trauma s knya.... tpos sinundan ko n cya hanggang Phy13.....
BOSSING THANK YOU ALSO FOR GIVING US THE PRIVILAGE OF BEING YOUR STUDENT.......... andami kong n22nan s inyo................tnx dn pla at d n 2 and bngay nyo skn s phy13. eheheheeheh
Madrama po tlga kmi ni Charles....
ReplyDeleteBeyond salute is what you deserve. Teaching is not what you do, you impart. When you teach, a part of the lesson spells out F U N. You make us better students as you help us to hone our skills and abilities.
ReplyDeleteBeyond the word "THANK YOU". Beyond all the biggest smiles in the world. Beyond everything. Super Thank you for helping us out in Physics.
I may belong to the category, Lucky Lad, I am not the brainy type. But, pushing hard as hard as possible. Hahaha.
My Wednesday was as lovely as a coconut tree (hahaha.) not just because, I would go home early, but because of Physics.
Once again, thank you for not taking our lates as lates. Hahahaha.
On behalf of Batch '07, Thank you for following us. Thank you for making our whole physics experience a whole lot of fun.
:D
si sir j?xa na pinaka astigin na guro sa physics dept..hehehe..
ReplyDeletesuper thank you po ako na nranasan ko pong maging prof po kau..andami po nming ntutunan as in..di lang tungkol sa physcs pati rin sa kalokohn..hehe
thank u po ulit sir^_^
Sir salamat sa 1 taong malupit na pagtuturo ng Physics..ako ata yun nasa Average JOE/JANE..again thanks..
ReplyDeletesir,,,bat nmn etched sa trashbin of my brain...T_T..hehe!
ReplyDeletekahit lakas man trip yan si sir jimenez magaling na prop yan! pero sa mga category na minention nyo sir ala ata ako dun ah? hahaha sana madami pa kayo ma-inspire na students sa physics... :D
ReplyDeletesir ako bahala sa coffee, kaw na bahala saaken:)
ReplyDeletesalamat sa lahat sir! it was great having you as our prof in physics(1-4 lecture), indeed it was! kahit hindi ako napunta sa ibang prof ng physics (intentionally), super saya naman sa klase nyo. thanks for all. wag nyo muna ipasa ung PSM sir, pag batch'08 na. haha! thanks for the ride, kfc and yosi kahapon. hahah! ingat parati sir! hands up ako sir sainyo, magaling na, super down-to-earth prof pa! =))
ReplyDeletenangangamote ako sa assignment sir T_T
ReplyDelete1st term 2009 has been a good term for me. Why?
ReplyDeletebecause i had the privilege of having sir. J as my prof. Well, di maganda lahat ng grades ko sa quiz PERO! sa lahat ng naging prof ko sa p6, 2 lang ang aking favorite at si sir. J ang no.1, bakit? kasi...
[1] magaling magturo!
[2] in-depth knowledge
[3] mahilig mag poker
[4] approachable lalong lalo na pag nahihirapan ako sa isang problem sa lecture
[5] mahilig sa kape
[6] mahilig mag joke
sir salamat sa pagpapahirap sa quiz, dahil dun, lumalim ang baul ng aking kaalaman sa physics...
its an honor to be your student sir! hanggang sa muli,
•JRN•
honga pala... yung no.2 ay si sir. B***
ReplyDeletecobra23 di halatang sumisipsip ka kay sir J ha? haha
ReplyDeletebrad tapos ka na ng physics mo?
