the Crisline G. Torres

I have this feeling that Ma'am Torres (of PolSci 14) will be one of my most favorite and most respected professors of all time. Hahaha...

So first of, the ground rules:

1. When she talks, you listen. a very reasonable rule, I must say
2. Classes start at 1:05 when you come in at 1:06, she'll know because she uses the GMT
3. Cellphones and alarms must be turned off.
4. You may not enter the class room if the professor of the previous class is still in. again, just anouther basic courtesy that most UP students ignore
5. Keep quiet while waiting in the corridor. If a professor reports that you have been noisy, she will (depending on the severity of anger) penalize you by either deducting 2 points from your class performance or assign you to write a 500-page book review.

The figures may be overwhelming, but I can tell she's not kidding.

Those are just some of the rules. The next one is our (Lowell and moi) favorite rule:
You must not endanger your classmates.

That one sounds so harsh,no? It means that if you have an ongoing ramble with a frat or if you have a CONTAGIOUS DISEASE, please absent yourself.

I like her rules. :)

This is the plus side:
If you have perfect attendance and perfect punctuality, you automatically get a .25 bonus. Not bad at all!

Plus, if you top her exams or get a final grade of 1.0- you get to have a free, personalized souvenir bookmark. There are three chances of getting a bookmark...

I want to collect all three!!!!

She's so much fun. I enjoy being in the presence of someone commanding. The problem with us, UP students, sometimes we tend to think that we can do anything we want. It's good when you have someone who can take on the reins and enforce reasonable rules efficiently.

You see? So maybe, I'm not so much of a brat! :)

Much love from the main library,
