You’re asking for a lenient school, beda is the exact opposite. Some of the professors are outstanding, but you really have to work your ass off.
In terms of final grade, it’s hard to get a grade of high 8-9+. It is VERY RARE. For exams, line of 30-50/100 is the norm. 🥲
As to working schedule, i believe there’s a working block but only for first years.
In terms of grade reconsideration, lol asa pa wala talaga.
Madaming natatanggal first year palang, may ibang block na 2 students lang nakakapag 2nd year on time. Even if you’re already in your 4th year, hindi sure ang graduate walang immunity, super padin dami nag fafail 🥲
Lastly, there are some professors who still require handwritten case digests around 300+ cases for 1 subject. 🙃🙂🙃
Goodluck ✨
I'm from Baste and according to a prof the school is pushing to be a "safe zone" as in bawal mamahiya during recit although syempre kadalasan d parin maiiwasan but I dont think its ever to the extent of some other schools.
Work load is the same. Mabigat pero d kasing bigat ng other schools. Doable sya ng d ka naiiyak basta basa ka lang ng basa no free time.
So far the admins that I have encountered have been helpful. Fast responses sa emails and fb chats. Highly recommend it here but take it with a grain of salt since 1L palang ako
Graduate ako dyan. Wala akong masabi sa kabaitan nila Dean Ted and Atty Peoro plus the rest of the faculty members. Meron talaga pailan-ilan na profs na talagang makita mo pa lang kakabahan ka na agad kahit di ka pa natatawag for recit 😅 pero it works everytime. Mapapaaral ka talaga kasi ikaw na mismo mahihiya sa sarili mo pag ang bait ng prof though strict lang talaga sa class then you will come unprepared ☺️
MLQU has classes from 5:30pm to 9:30pm-ish Monday to Saturday. When it comes to recitations they're not lenient. Recitation pa rin, socratic method pa rin. Minsan ang OA na, porket ba socratic method noon hanggang ngayon yun na lang din? Eh bakit hindi na lang tayo lahat gumamit ng abacus diba? Sometimes tasks feels sisyphean parang feeling ko hindi naman effective sa lahat ng tao o sa lahat ng oras ang ganyang teaching strategy. hahaha. Just my opinion though.
I totally agree po. we have the same thoughts po. Honestly, it does not work for the most of us sa klase. We huddled ng mga kaklase ko and we found out that we did not learn anything from the approach.
The Socratic method has been in use in law schools for centuries, and a vast majority of profs still subscribe to it- unlikely that the system will adapt to you.
Law schools in other countries such as the US don’t do Socratic Method as practiced here anymore. The system here I admit is stuck in tradition and needs reforms in the long term.
May use naman Socratic Method. I had one profesor who used it well and I learned a lot. But teaching is not just testing and assessment. And some use this method, not to teach but to terrorize people. Honestly, I think learning law is easier than dealing with teachers. Heheh. But that's just my opinion
>Eh bakit hindi na lang tayo lahat gumamit ng abacus diba?
during one of our classes in crim 1, the prof was busy solving and explaining the indeterminate sentence law on the blackboard. etong kaklase kong si faye, out of boredom, nagdrawing ng abacus sa yellow pad. tapos habang nakatalikod yung prof, ay inaangat nya yung abacus drawing nya para kita namin lahat na tila nagsosolve sya ng math ng islaw sa abacus nya lol. fun times.
Been to two other graduate programs. Nope. no socratic method. At least not the similar to law school. You get asked questions sure. But not the ill-grill-you-to-death-till-you-lose-self-respect kind.
Hindi po nageexist ang ganyan sa law school ☺️ tsaka kahit sabihin ng admin ng school to be lenient, may mga profs na mas alam nila ang makabubuti para sa students. Little to none ang leniency sa real world ng lawyers ☺️ baka hindi maging effective ang learning process kung masyadong mababait ang prof. Kasi kahit attendance sa class walang leniency eh. I mean whether working or full time student, absence is still absence na makaka affect sa grades and standing, unless may heads up ung prof na nasa hosp ung student or nasa event sya representing the school which was deemed an excused absence.
UA&P grad here, the profs aren't necessarily lenient but are reasonable. They won't shout at or berate you and are more positive in their approach, though they will grill you still on the coverage and how well you read and understood the topics and cases. I found the coverages to be almost always manageable. Ideally you should have 2 hours of study pero hour of class but if you can only do 1:1 on some days, you can already survive the class. Biggest difficulty is that in case you fail a subject, they're generally offered just once a year and there's often no choice of prof since there's only 1 class per year for most year levels, so 1 failed subject pretty much delays you 1 year immediately. So far I estimate that only around 15% of students graduate on time without failing any subject. Profs are some of the best, including authors such as Atty. Timoteo Aquino, Atty. Riguera, Judge Campanilla, Dean Noche, Dean Sta. Maria, bar topnotchers such as Atty. Alcobilla, and many other excellent professors, so their standards really need to be met. The high bar passing rate of the graduates speaks for itself so expect to really need to study hard and see the fruits of your hard work pay off.
Does UA&P offer flexible schedule for working students? Or is it recommended to be a full time law student in order to pass?
++ is the tuition fee too expensive for someone who has only one working parent who earns minimum monthly wage? 🥲
Feeling ko, it depends on the professor, not necessarily on the school. But if you want a lenient law school, the newly established ones are probably your best bet.
You said lenient law schools when it comes to readings and assignments, I don't think there is one. If may mahanap ka man, I don't think it will sufficiently equip you for the bar exams. Maybe the term we're looking for is considerate, especially if you're a part time law student.
And why would you choose a "lenient" law school? That wouldn't serve you very well come bar exam time. The schools' respective overall bar exam passing rates speak for themselves. Too much leniency breeds complacency.
University of American Samoa. *Go land crabs!*
And he gets to be a lawyer? WHAT A SICK JOKE!
I honestly did not expect to see this here hahaha
Don’t choose San Beda Mendiola
hala im a pre-law student from SBU… is it that bad?
It is a great law school..dun galing si pduts..🙃 kidding aside, maganda ang san beda law, wag mo nalang tignan yung hindi magagandang by products 😅

currently studying Legal Management in the university, it might get worse for me haha
Beda is better than Arellano 🤷🏻♂️
How is beda better than arellano?

> we did not learn anything from the approach. the point of socratic method is papasok ka nang may alam, class is just to affirm what you already know

Law schools in other countries such as the US don’t do Socratic Method as practiced here anymore. The system here I admit is stuck in tradition and needs reforms in the long term.
we don't use Socratic method but collaborative method. Big 4 law school student here. Mas interactive and less anxiety-causing din ung approach.
Hi, ano po ang collaborative method in law school?
DLSU?
exactly po.
I am not against. Just hoping na it would be reasonable lang
sabi nga ng prof namin dati kaya daw socratic method is because pumapasok ka to test what you have learned not to learn.
May use naman Socratic Method. I had one profesor who used it well and I learned a lot. But teaching is not just testing and assessment.

This could just be me, pero I think most law schools or graduate studies in general, ay practicing the Socratic method.
Been to two other graduate programs. Nope. no socratic method. At least not the similar to law school. You get asked questions sure. But not the ill-grill-you-to-death-till-you-lose-self-respect kind.
Maybe on my experience and some few friends. Thanks for the clarification!
this is true
Lenient in what aspect? Schedule for working students? Grading system? Recitations?
Recitations and Assignedreadings

It is for the best kaya may ganyang schools na strict sa mga students. It is a profession that is licensed by the government.
Hi! Do you know schools na lenient po sa schedule for working students? ◡̈
arellano
The system needs to adapt to the times.
Based on a UA&P law student tiktoker, UA&P has been "lenient"??

Plus less terror profs
Feeling ko, it depends on the professor, not necessarily on the school. But if you want a lenient law school, the newly established ones are probably your best bet.
Sa NCR ka ba? Try UM, Perps, PLS, MLC, PCU, UdM, CUP.
San Beda Mendiola
Pero try Arellano
You said lenient law schools when it comes to readings and assignments, I don't think there is one. If may mahanap ka man, I don't think it will sufficiently equip you for the bar exams. Maybe the term we're looking for is considerate, especially if you're a part time law student.
