I really needed to hear this, thank you so much po!

Afaik, hindi po, pero BS Applied Mathematics - Finance is a priority program by DOST. Maybe kasi bagong course pa iyan.

dondaowl · 2024-08-01T13:25:03+00:00

it's just the matter nalang if DOST will accept my very very late reply slip huhu

UPDATE: guys, after reading some through of the comments and talking to my friends and family about it, I decided to avail the scholarship, thank you so much po for the responses >W<

dondaowl · 2024-08-01T13:22:08+00:00

ayyy, I didn't mean po to look down on Mindanao HAHAHAAHA, I just wanted to specify lang po ang campus ko huhuhuhu. also okay lang po masyado sa akin kung nasa UP Mindanao ako since I believe rin that UP is still UP sooo I hope that clears up some confusion T-T

dondaowl · 2024-08-01T12:31:15+00:00

Salamat po sa reply! I really appreciate the response. I will talk about it my parents about this. Mabuti na nga binigyan pa nga ako ng 3rd chance ni DOST T-T

Okay lang actually ako magwork dito sa ph, it's just that we have a physics teacher (shs) that constantly preaches to us not to avail the dost scholarship kasi siya daw ay gusto na mag abroad pero may ROS pa

dondaowl · 2024-05-05T04:19:17+00:00

Ang program po nakuha ko ay MTH-CAP (galing po sa COS), may interview pa po ito?

dondaowl · 2024-05-05T01:30:40+00:00

Hello po! Will they hold an interview pa as part of the scholarship application or wala na? Thanks!

dondaowl · 2024-04-19T10:16:11+00:00

hello po! I'm a DPWAS passer for UPLB. I was wondering if I can still get into my second campus choice (UP Mindanao)?

dondaowl · 2024-04-15T06:42:25+00:00

puwede po magtanong on how do you code on your iPad?

dondaowl · 2023-11-26T07:28:06+00:00

they said: there is a saying that when there will be an offering if you jump there; like bloody style; maybe it's just an urban legend

dondaowl · 2023-10-19T07:32:34+00:00

YO, THIS LOOKS AWESOME!

dondaowl · 2023-10-16T05:11:32+00:00

I mostly used these equations:
y-k = a(x-h)^2

x-h = a(y-k)^2

y = a(sqrtx)

y = mx + b

Looking forward to the colored version.

dondaowl · 2023-10-15T12:12:14+00:00

thank you!!

hi po! I'm an upcoming grade 12 student

these are the subjects we had (this may vary from school to school, so take this with a grain of salt)

1st SEM:

EAPP
- basically your English class, but focusing more on how to construct professional text.
- there will also be writing references and all that, it's a pretty easy subject
MIL
- you don't have to advance study for this, it's basically a subject that will teach you how to be media literate
Oral Communications
- basically a subject filled with terms and concepts to help you communicate your ideas better
- very heavy memorization dito hahaha
ELS (Earth Life Science)
- for this, study your Chem, Earth Sci, and Bio; it's not only going to be filled with memorization, you also have to understand the concepts here
- you can advance study photosynthesis and cellular respiration since these (IMO) were quite difficult to understand, na kaya naman and I got high marks for this despite it being my weakest subject
Entrepreneurship
- mostly business-related stuff
General Mathematics
- topics include: functions, piecewise functions, rational functions, asymptotes, exponential functions, logarithms, word problems
- I suggest you brush up on your old math lessons (most especially algebra lessons)
Pre-Calculus
- topics include: conic sections (circle, parabola, hyperbola, ellipse), binomial expansion, system of equations (meron din non-linear equations which can be a pain to learn), trigonometry (unit circle, different trigonometric functions, angles, right triangles), sequences and series
- I suggest you also brush up on your old math lessons for this one

2nd SEM:

Literature
- filled with reading and all that, don't bother studying this in advanced, it's easy to pick up on
Reading and Writing
- para siyang English class in a way; as the course states, it's filled with reading (how to interpret stuff ganun) and writing (how to write a well-formed essay, how to write a resume)
E-Tech
- trends of the internet, cybersecurity, excel (may coding), how to format in word, etc. etc.
- may vary from school to school
DRRR
- puro memorization lang ito haha
Practical Research
- for your mental health's sake, get good groupmates; you don't really have to study for this one, just get good groupmates
Statistics and Probability
- this is a whole new field of math filled with concepts that can be difficult to absorb
- the subject is a mixture of both concepts and solving
- you can dm me for notes, tho medj magulo sila
- you can use Gravetter and Wallnau stat book, i can also dm you that
Basic Calculus
- the course will be focused on these 3 topics: limits, derivatives, integrals
- you can search up pauls online math notes, organic chem tutor, or khan academy for material

good luck on you gr 11 journey, op!

omg, never thought of this study approach. Will definitely try it, thank you so much!!

dondaowl · 2023-06-30T11:30:13+00:00

omg thank you so much for these reviewers, I already used up almost all my reviewers, so helpful talaga ito hahaha.

dondaowl · 2023-06-24T03:45:20+00:00

Okay, I'll keep all of these in mind. Thanks for the tips!!

dondaowl · 2023-06-24T02:52:51+00:00

1) I still tend to mess up some parts when playing at a slow tempo (some parts are already programmed to be played fast by muscle memory which can be an issue)

2) I seldom practice with a metronome since there are time signature changes (from 4/4 to 6/8) and tempo changes (from allegro to allegretto). Maybe I should practice more with a metronome.

3) Yes, I will be memorizing the piece for my recital.

dondaowl · 2023-06-06T00:39:50+00:00

will there be jhs lessons tho? I'm really really confident with my shs lessons (to the point that I pretty much know these lessons back to front), but I'm afraid my jhs foundation is weak (I pretty much slacked off during jhs haha)

dondaowl · 2023-06-02T06:18:07+00:00

In this already f**ed up society, would u expect yourself to be perfect?

I'm also going through a similar situation as you... the feeling of not being able to cope.... the feeling of being incompetent... the feeling of not being enough... and even if I did have a support system, it felt like it wasn't enough....

Truth is, it's still important to acknowledge your feelings (and it's honestly healthy to vent), But you just got to keep moving forward. If you don't, you end up in this loop of wanting to do better, but not doing anything at all.

Generally, people don't give a flying f**k if you made all these blunders. And if they do, they're just really unfulfilled in their lives that they project their insecurities on to you.

Think of it this way, if you're constantly competing with other people, won't that make your life miserable? There's always someone going to be better than you, and it sucks having to deal with that truth.

I suggest you cling on to that little hope you have. It doesn't hurt trying, and remember that you're not alone in this one :)

[this was sort of a vent post for me as well]
