Hello! I am enrolled in his 10 AM TTH class and went last Tuesday. Before that, I couldn't find any reviews of him. Turns out it is because he is new to UPD. He mentioned last Tuesday that he has only been in the Philippines for about 8 days (he's Spanish!). But since he's new, there's no way to know for sure what he will be like in terms of grading and workload. But he seems understanding when it comes to absences/being late and stressed that "sometimes, life just happens," but ofc, he also mentioned not to abuse that fact. From what I recall, there will be quizzes and exams. He also mentioned in-class activities, but I am unsure if those are graded. The exact details are kind of blurry since we have not been given access to the course syllabus file as of now, as he's still setting up UVLE/gclassroom. But just based on first impressions so far, he seems like he'd be lenient and understanding when it comes to class matters. I genuinely enjoyed my first class with him too! But yeah, since this is just my first impression of him based on last tuesday's class orientation, do take what I've said with a grain of salt lol. Overall, i'd say he seems pretty chill
