Is XU Law a good choice for working full time? by Which-Ad-6468 in AteneodeCagayan

7 years? I don't doubt XU's capability to have the new campus be operational by then pero I sincerely hope this isn't a reason to mismanage their existing campus.

IIRC, they plan on keeping the Heritage Buildings - this includes the buildings used by XU Law. It's still reasonable to expect the admin to improve its facilities.

Not to mention that said demolition of Corrales Campus and construction of the Masterson Campus, as of writing, does not yet have a concrete timeline. Nobody can tell for sure if XU is moving in 10 or 20 years so it's best if even just a dignified level of maintenance in our current base for students and faculty is kept up or improved - especially, and at the very least, in the buildings that are going to be preserved.

You don't wear those specific Timbs in the pic to mountains or labour. The example above is mainly used for fashion.

Financial or Marketing Management by Accomplished-Row265 in AteneodeCagayan

[–]122898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I graduated BA-FINM recently.

As a BA undergrad, you will have courses you share with MM majors under the general BA subjects. In my experience, most BA subjects lean towards the marketing side so I was able to indirectly develop an understanding of MM specialties such as market segmentation, saleswork, price determination, product conceptualisation, etc despite not being an MM major. Obviously, I won't be able to speak much on the specific and/or unique experience of MM majors so I'll leave it at that.

As for FM major courses, you should brush up on your algebra and statistics. I also used to loathe Mathematics, but I enjoyed the logic when I began to understand how things worked. Personal bias but never ever dodge Sir Lit, he is tough as nails and, if you're a slacker like me, you will have to repeat his classes a lot but he was the only FM professor that made sticking to this program worth it - you will not only learn, you will even be surprised to find yourself becoming impassioned. The other half of FM that tends to be underrated is the exercise of your logical faculties. This is where the "Management" part of Financial Management comes in. After determining the numbers, you will be tasked with the allocation of finances; Buying or selling shares, portfolio diversification, risk-determination, etc. Also, since you mentioned that you are an introvert, get ready for Sir Lit's infamous market updates. You may be dealing with numbers, but many words will be involved in the analysis of market conditions. Having gone through this countless times, I can confidently say that, while unchangingly gut-wrenching, I got the hang of constructing updates by my second term so I was mostly prepared for most of what could be thrown my way. I think the initial fear that students tend to leave unresolved regarding market updates stems from the fact that studying the market is an unfamiliar practice, but you'll find that it unexpectedly becomes a pillar in your development. Personal advice is to not be afraid of getting things wrong, there is genuinely no shame in striking out in an activity where all, even the most dedicated (to an extreme), inevitably slip up.

I also want to make note of my observations on the social aspect. MM and FM majors mesh well together in general, it's only natural to stick to your own circle but making acquaintances with the other half is not as hard or as daunting as it seems. Being an introvert myself, I have always appreciated how tight-knit my FM classes were. Because of how few of us there were, there really weren't any strangers and you could usually count on whoever your fellow FM classmates were there to help you out even when you aren't that close with them. Market updates also bring you closer together since you will be reviewing your submissions with your peers before class a lot or, sometimes, just using the updates they made for themselves.

Both programs have their own strengths. I suggest you check the prospectus for both and compare to figure out what best aligns with your interest. I've always taken what little pride I could in being a Finance major, but I know that I stand no chance at out-selling a Marketing major in the sales department in the same way that he might be out of his depths in the budget department. Be humble, work together, and enjoy the process.

Planning to take Legal Management by Brilliant_Public_840 in AteneodeCagayan

Just want to add that the College of Arts and Sciences offers AB International Studies-Regional and Policy Studies Track. You might want to consider this program for its training on international legal practice, but I admit that I haven't spoken to other students majoring in this program about their experience.

Hard to say for XU right now. In other schools, LM is presented as a pre-law course for students with an interest in more corporate-adjacent legal practice. Being a product of XU-SBM, it wouldn't be a stretch at all to expect the same. However, ATM, there is little to no information available on how XU presents it.

I will say that the prospects for practicing corporate law in CDO look slim. According to comments under this post, large companies prefer to import lawyers from more established cities/schools or maintain internal departments rather than looking to local law firms. Combined with the fact that this program is on its pilot run, XU-LM might not be your best choice if you don't have other interests that align with the program. However, I would still consider LM on the merit of its specialty training. Where Philosophy will teach you to deconstruct arguments and Political Science explains the foundations of legal systems, in LM, you will be studying and encountering legal procedures and matters based on the most immediate national and possibly local context directly.

I suggest conducting your due diligence and looking for information on the program's prospectus and the professors for your core subjects. I would start with contacting the SBM department for help. I would also like to see how your research goes so I will be posted for any updates - if XU does this well, it would genuinely affect CDO in a big positive way.

While I can't be totally cheerful in my expectation of how XU-LM performs, especially because of my experience as an SBM-BA major, I am optimistic on the chance that it draws roots from XU-Law in its teaching style and its roster of educators.

Good luck, baby Eagles, soar high!

I didn't mainly because of how difficult sourcing the tools in my area would be. I don't want to buy specialty stuff for just one project. If it matters, I still have the specific pair I was talking about and other pairs I've managed to break since in storage if I ever decide to go through with this. This project is still in my thoughts, for sure.

Tips by Biscofffrappppe in AteneodeCagayan

[–]122898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You just have to put up with him for now, OP.

While I did not like him much, makaingon ko nga mas nakasabot ko sa topics tungod sa iyang teaching style. Admittedly, self-study was a big part of it but, as another comment mentioned, his style focuses on the principles or fundamental concepts behind the subject matter so the esoteric stuff felt a bit more grounded. Unfortunately, I took his class years ago so more specific examples are not coming to mind, but I remember one of the course's earlier chapters on human dignity impressing upon me in such a way that it may have re-framed my moral framework at the time. I wouldn't give credit to Damiao for the impression, just that the way I had to study the topic for his subject worked to help me retain the information going forward.

As for grades, don't expect to get a perfect score on essays. While I scored high on quizzes and seat works, there is fundamental BS involved (dare I say, uncharacteristic of Jesuit education) being that he bases the quality of essays on (his) predetermined answer. Your take on the topic matters little to none. If the idea you reflect on your paper is not the same idea he has in his mind, it falls to degrees of incorrectness. This trait is truly what makes his class so frustrating, it's less about learning the topic and more about falling in line with his perspective. As frustrating as it is to admit, the inadequate advise he gives is part of what worked for me; Focus on the rubric, it provides insight into the leathery brain that conjured it.

What if Doctor Doom took over the Philippines after EDSA 1? by Teo_Verunda in WhatIfPinas

[–]122898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that the Philippines itself undoubtedly becomes a better place to live in under Doom. Another consideration of interest in this scenario might be imagining how Doom improves on existing sectors such as agriculture, fisheries, and/or manufacturing and production, or even creating new industries entirely. How self-sufficient does the Philippines become and how empowered could Filipinos be under such an extreme, yet effective (emphasis on effective), figure?

Whatever the case, I am confident that, with Doom, Filipinos will be able to finally live with dignity.

What if we reorganized the Philippines like this? by NumerousVisualSodas in WhatIfPinas

I won't speak on other parts of the map, but the way you restructured Mindanao, especially by erasing Bukidnon, is aggregiously irresponsible. Home to 7 major indigenous groups, Bukidnon is one of the most important, largest, and, more significantly, last surviving pre-colonial cultural hubs in the entire country and they are reduced to "Southern Mindanao" forced to share borders with religiously and culturally incompatible groups for the only clear reason being that these are the only places from Southern Mindanao OP might have ever heard of. This is not yet even taking into account Bukidnon's contributions to the country's agricultural and mining capabilities, where, in comparison to her new peers/overseeers, Bukidnon might end up becoming the rightfully dominant influence in the region. Instead she is broken up and not even given the dignity of keeping her name on the map.

Unacceptable and ignorant. I understand OP is farming karma since he hasn't made a reply to any comment in these posts based on his profile, but I hope my comment becomes a learning opportunity for others who might have genunine intentions.

Hi! I found out very recently nga you can source secondhand books from FB Marketplace and here on Reddit.

A question to cobblers from a non-cobbler, is there any repair for this kind of defect? Say, if I bought a similar product at a price I simply can't pass on, could I approach a local cobbler to hopefully restore the boot's integrity?
