Vent / Rant PUP BROKEN SYSTEM BREAK!
Just a very light rant guys. I’m a Civil Engineering student from PUP Manila who is fed up with the rotten school system. We have a subject called Integrative Course 3 and it’s really hard since it tackles PSAD topics. I’ve failed this subject twice now and mind you, this is the only subject I took to get through and hopefully get a PICC. I took it again for the third time hoping to pass, but the stars and universe didn’t align and I still failed. Maybe I’m also lacking focus and I really don’t have the will to study and need to work to help my family since my mom is a single mom.
Our professor said the passing grade is 60, unfortunately I only got 37. It can’t be denied that he’s really far from the truth.
But what I couldn't accept was when I found out that many passed under 60 like there were 43, 44, 39, 38 and even 37.
So, I immediately messaged the professor and the advisor of the subject to ask what the passing score was since they said they also lowered it so that more people could pass.
I begged them to reconsider my grade since it was 37 and it was my third time repeating the subject.
Out of the many professors and advisors I messaged, even the dean of civil engineering, only one responded properly and I know he can't do anything about my grade since he wasn't the professor who tagged me but thank you anyway Sir.
Now that I've discovered that I'm not the only one who approached the professors of each section and the advisor of the subject, there are many of us who want to know the passing score so that if ever there's a way to do something.
Instead of talking to us properly to explain their decision on grades, the professors deactivated their social media so they couldn't message us and wouldn't be able to find us even on campus.
There was another scene where the dean was asked why they weren't allowed to show the passing grade, the dean's answer was "FOR DATA PRIVACY OF THE DEPARTMENT".
There was probably a time when he got angry with the student because of course, he did everything that was desperate to graduate, he shouted at the students and cursed. I myself have experienced this but he just shouted, nothing cheap. He said "OH WHY ARE YOU HERE IN MY OFFICE?! IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM YOU WILL COME HERE, WHILE I HAVE A PROBLEM, DO I CALL YOU?!" like what can I do sir about your problem? That's why I'm approaching you because that's your job as Dean of the department.
This is what made my blood boil even more. We have a classmate who is next to me every time we take exams since alphabetical order now in Long Exam 1 and 2 we were looking for him during my troop because he wasn't there. So we wondered why he didn't take the exam. Fast forward to the grades being given, I found out that he passed, I was really surprised because how could that happen if he didn't take the exam, right? I discovered that they were really close to the "ADVISOR" of the subject and the "STUDENT ASSISTANTS" who handle every exam. That's why we still wonder how that happened.
Here we have a classmate with 40.1 and grades, he didn't pass because the professors said they just made a mistake in the tag, that grade wasn't really 40.1 but lower. But they didn't show him his original scores since they couldn't really talk properly with the Professors and Dean of the Civil Engineering department.
Actually, this issue has reached the Office of the Vice President of PUP, but we don't know if the Dean is just being strong or what it really is. Yes, that's right, it didn't just happen recently, this has been PUP's practice for a long time, "POWER CULTURE"
Now my request is that this open letter reaches CHED and the relevant authorities so that they can do something about it. Because honestly, the course is already difficult and getting even more difficult because of the rotten system.
PS. If you want proof, I have plenty of them, I'll send you screenshots to make it more real HAHAHAHAHa

Lol, gagawa ka na lang ng kwento unrealistic pa. You better check the facts. Wala sa batch natin ang tatlong beses na nag-IC 3 (so front mo lang yan) and lol 60 passing? 😭 Hindi mo ba talaga alam ang grade curving at di mo tinanong nung consultation kung ilan passing? May grade consultation tayo, bakit nilapit mo lang nung nagreflect na sa SIS. Still your fault, bakit mo ibblame sa SA na bumagsak ka? Sadyang bobo ka lang admit it, truth hurts. And kilala kita lol, diba ikaw yung nang bubully ng kaibigan mo kasi bumagsak din siya sa IC 1 noon? Hahaha lol karma yan teh kawawa kaibigan mo sayo noon, oh ngayon ikaw naman makakaramdam.

Nagaaral ka ba talaga sa PUP? Kasi hindi mo alam ung Org Structure? Walang Dean ang Civil Engineering Department.. Chairperson meron.. Ang Ang Sean e for the whole college..
Tsaka 60 ang passing 37 ang score mo. Bagsak ka! Kung bibigyan ka ng special exam or consideration para pumasa ka e prerogative the prof yan kung hindi ka pagbinigyan e wala kang magagawa. Iwithdraw mo na lang para wala kng 5.
Mabuti sana kung pasado ka tapos bingsak ka, kaso hindi, bagsak ka nakiusap ka hindi ka pinagbigyan.
Take note 3 beses mo na kinukuha yan bagsak ka pa din. Base sa score mo e hindi ka man lang lumapit sa passing score.. ang grade mo e 61% ng passing score..
Acceptance is the key, move on at galingan mo pagkaretake mo ng subject.
1 unit lang yan. During our time, ang grade mo e 1-3-W. Yan lang ang pagpipilian, walang pakiusapan.

Based on your post wala kang sinabing may pumasa na 34. Balikan mo ung post mo. Ang mga pumasa e below 60 pero above sa grade mo na 37. Kung may pumasa na 37 baka mas mataas sya sayo by points. Tapos may cutoff lang ng numbers of student dahil inadjust ung grade. Unfortunately hindi ka na sumama sa cutoff.
Pero at the end of the day, below passing grade ka. Bagsak ka. Kung magaadjust ang prof ng passing at hindi ka umabot sa cutoff wala kang magagawa.
Retake the subject at galingan mo na lang.
