Ano Pinaka Astig Na Kurso?? [Archive]

tophe_17

^ That Program is existing in the said Institute. One student is taking it though.

Anyway, regarding the thread topic, we define first what astig means? magaling, maganda, pang-matalino, mahirap, pang-mayaman?

It's not even a formal Filipino word; it's meaning is relative to every reader's interpretation (well, I have enumerated mine already); so how would we qualify a certain Degree Program to be as such?

If we're gonna interpret it in terms of the degree of difficulty, which I am sure is what the threadstarter meant to appear, the answer would be indefinite because everybody has/her (own) interest. A difficult Program would be a very easy for another and vice versa. So the question has no definite and objective answer.

for me pharmacy..although some view our profession as taga-tinda lang sa botika ( i have nothing against community pharmacists by the way) very people realize that it takes a lot of guts to take pharmacy (and a lot of coffee too!)

you take a lot of math courses (Algebra, Trigo, Calculus, Statistics),a whole lot of physics series (in my school, three phyiscs series), biology subjects (Zoo and Botany) and a whole whole lot of chemistry (gen chem 1 & 2, Quali, Quanti, 2 org chems, 2 physical chemsitry, biochemistry, 3 analytical chemistries, plant chemistries, and the many many pharmaceutical chemistries) plus add the medicine courses (anatomy, physiology,pathophysiology, pharmacology, toxicology) plus the pharmacy majors (pharm calc, pharm tech, pharm ad, clinical, p'cog etc)

pharmacy in a nut shell is more on the scientific aspects of medicine
sabi nga ng isang author "pharmacists are medical scientists"

nasasaktan lang ako pag may nagsasabi na taga-benta lang kami ng gamot...and some doctors even look down on us..

kaya next time na sabihin nyong tagabenta lang kami ng gamot..think again...we may be smarter than you!:)

As far as I know, there are oly 2 schools that offer this Program - University of the Philippines Diliman and Feati University.

Engineering, Dentistry, Pre-med, Accountancy, Business Ad. (if you only have a business as in big business), Fina Arts, journalism, political science, and Law.

St. Luke's? Pre-med? :bop:

As far as I know, St. Luke's only offers Medicine and not Pre-Med courses.
Pre-med courses (BSMT, BSN, etc.) are all taken on its allied school - Trinity University of Asia (TUA).

If you took St. Luke's College of Nursing as its sole premise, no it's not! The said College is still under TUA.

I think DLSU's LIA-COM (Liberal arts + Commerce double degree) program is cool... napaka holisitc ng dating ng graduate kasi AB + BS ang title. :)

AdMU's Management of Applied Chemistry Program is also very interesting... you get to study both manegement and chemistry courses towards one degree... radical but seemingly workable combination. :)

I've always thought that Veterinary Medicine rocks... too bad not all schools offer this program. I think UPLB(?) and a school in Malabon offers DVM?

I don't even know why this thread is still alive. Ang tendency ng ganitong thread, ibinabandila ang mga kursong mabigat sa math or science subjects (engineering, physics, etc) at minamaliit ang mga humanities.

Walang iisang "astig" na kurso. Lahat ng kurso sa kolehiyo, may paggagamitan sa buhay pagkatapos mong mag-aral, mapa-philosophy man iyon o applied physics. Ang tunay na sukatan ng isang tao ay nasa buhay niya pagkatapos niyang mag-aral.

Siguro.. Accountancy..

Kasi there's english, math and analysis.. you lack one, and patay kang bata ka... magulit ka ng subject..

and, ang CPA board ang may pinakamataas na mortality rate in any board exam..... may mga Accounting grads na pumapasa sa Bar Exams pero di pumasa sa CPA board (I know of one, bagsak sya sa CPA board, pero pasado at nag top pa sa Bar)..

paano po ba ang course na ECONOMICS????

yang pa astig astig na kung ano pinakamaganda kunin kurso pag tagal tagal i drop mo rin naman yang course o yung subject kundi naman lilipat ka ng ibang course or school madalas nangyayari sa estudyante kasi kahit na sa tingin mo astig sya pag nagaaral ka na umpisa na ng kalbaryo at pagkakakamot ng ulo. lalo na sa engineering mataas mortality rate kundi naman mga magna nineyears di pa graduate. kaya kahit sabihin mo ito yung kurso na makakapagdala sa yo sa abroad kung ayaw naman sa yo ng subject sayang lang binayad mo matrikula.

Wala naman sa course ang astig, what is the use kung di naman astig ang work mo after?

===============
My first course was accountancy, i quit because i think i am not performing well because i don't like the feeling of getting a low score after reviewing everything. I transferred to Economics a little easier but still you have to do a lot of effort for the cases, thesis etc. My greatest fear then was the JOB OPPORTUNITY, because according to them (CPA profs) the companies usually prioritized the Accounting Graduates and CPAs.

After graduation i took an online exam for a multinational company and after series of interviews i got accepted as management trainee. My fellow applicants who got the same job are Management Graduates, CPAs, ECE most of them are cum laudes in top universities in Manila and some Universities in the province. After sometime I went abroad and work in a training and consulting firm.

Now, I am here in the Philippines again for graduate studies and at the same time i am studying nursing and teaching economics in a private college.

=============

Kapag naman nag-work na kayo dun niyo malalaman ang astig na pinagsasabi niyo! I observed kaunti ang taga-PUP dito sa pex pero sa lahat ng mga naging officemates ko laging PUP grad ang nagiging close ko even when i was working abroad. Wala silang yabang, pagminsan nga maliit tingin nila sa sarili nila pero mas magaling pa sila sa amin. For me ang astig ay kung paano mo gagamitin ang pinagaralan mo.

Pinakaastig ang BS (Applied) Physics. It's the least offered course here in the Philippines, sa pagkakaalam ko 8 schools lang ang nag-oofer nito and all are COEs and CODs.

1. UP Diliman (coe)
2. MSU-IIT (coe, to be reploclaimed this year)
2. Ateneo de Manila (coe)
3. La Salle (coe)
4. San Carlos (cod)
5. Siliman (cod)
6. UP Los Banos (cod)
7. UP Baguio (cod)
8. MSU main campus (cod) *peace*

See.. And this course is highly prioritized by DOST... :rotflmao:

LOLZ :rotflmao:

ang alam kong mga least offered na science and engineering courses ay geology (3), mining engineering (3), metallurgical engineering (2) at materials science & engineering (3) eh at for me sila ang pinakaastig.

1. UP DILIMAN - geology, mining engineering, metallurgical engineering at materials engineering
2. MAPUA - geology(with geological engineering) at materials science & engineering
3. ADAMSON - geology at mining engineering
4. ADMU - materials science & engineering(with chemistry or physics)
5. CIT - mining engineering
6. MSU-IIT - metallurgical engineering

At I think lahat naman ng science and engineering courses eh highly prioritized ng DOST.

psych is very enlightening. ultimo yung mga kalokohan na ginagawa ng isang tao pwede mong ijustify. sometimes, we end up using it on our profs. and we get our desired results.hahaha.

psychology is not just mere story telling. it's analyzing and understanding a person's action so you can do proper intervention. and besides, maraming career paths ang mga psych graduates. kaya masaya.

Kaya yan pinag-aaralan ko ngayon..hehehehe

I was an engineering student before pero talagang nahirapan ako kaya stop for about a year and nag-isip kung ano maganda kurso since I love spending most of my time in my pc kaya bakit kaya gawing makabuluhan ang ginagawa ko like studying programming kaya IT stud na ako ngayon.

For my opinion.Wala ng mas pinaka Astig pa sa BS Accountancy!!!

Why?

First!Sa undergrad palang may screening na for you to earn the degree. If you won't pass the screening then you'll never graduate as BS Accountancy. (Take note: ito lang ang course na may screening exam sa undergrad)

Second, of all the board exam include na din pati bar exam...CPA exam has the lowest quota in terms of passing rate. Mas mababa pa kesa sa Bar Exam quota passing rate.

Third! If you will ask those who are CPA-Lawyer. Most of them say that CPA exam is harder than Bar exam...meron ngang isang current senador na hindi nakapasa sa CPA exam pero nakapasa sa BAR..wag ko na lang i mention ang name...hehe

Fourth, kahit sang company ka pumunta, applicable sya. ito po ay own opinion ko lang po. Salamat mga pexers!!!

BA Anthropology (siyempre, love your own na rin. XD)

Anthropology is fundamentally the study of man. It gives a lot of focus on studying culture and human diversity. May 4 fields siya, physical (human evolution, primatology, osteology), archaeology, linguistic anthropology and cultural anthropology. (UP Diliman lang ata ang may subjects on all the 4 fields sa Pilipinas)

Astig kasi man is ultimately a very diverse creature. Hindi ka mauubusan ng pag-aaralan. :)

Nothing beats Accountancy..

1. The cut-off system is so strict that statistics in our school will show that Freshemen BSA population is cut to half in Sophomore year. Then, by a third in Third year. Grades acquired in the subject are not the only basis of cut-off. Students are tasked to pass comprehensive exams at the end of the sem to evaluate their standing. Failing such exam makes you one step closer to being pushed-out of the program.

2. Everybody expects Accountancy students to be superior in everything, especially by non-business subject professors. They said that BSA students are all-of-the-time well-rounded.

3. Perks. Many educators and even those in industry have biases in giving perks and organizing events for accounting majors. They are always given preemtive right over joining seminars, competitions and conferences.

4. The course opens a lot of opportunities to students. Becoming a CPA is always a good tie with being a Lawyer. But the latest trends are CPA-CIA, CPA-CMA, CPA-CFE, and CPA-Chartered Financial Analyst.

5. No other profession is perfectly implementing Continuous Professional Education than Accountancy. Thus, CPA stay true to the saying that life is a continuing learning experience.

(Note: The above-mentioned reasons are based on my experience as (currently) an Accountancy student at our school and on the pressure and burden I carry everyday. But the perks are really good to sacrifice enough to stay in the program...hehehe)

BAA is overrated. Accounting is an easy subject, it just becomes hard because so many people want it and that it is in demand by foreign companies. Plus, being an accountant is a boring job.

For me, the best one is Econ-Math-Philosophy triple major. That's the holy trinity right there. Math and Philosophy complements the theories of Economics; Econ and Math representing Humean and Kantian types of knowledge provide a source for Philosophical theories; Philosophy solidifies Mathematical proofs that are applied in the real-world Economics.

And of course, background in these three allows you to be good in everything else that doesn't involve physical abilities (English, Anthro, Physics, Engineering, Biology, etc.).

UP makes accounting hard. Accounting itself is easy - there's no special skills involved in mastering accounting. I'm just saying if you're a smart person generally speaking, you can learn it pretty well. Compare it to architecture, math or biology, where you need skills to master the subject. If students have difficulty in the subject, it's probably because the curriculum itself is hard.

Plus what accountants actually do on the job is often easier and very different than what they learn in college.

P.S. By the way, I'm not a UP BAA student, but I could have easily done it if I wanted to - not because BAA is easy, but because I'm smart.

Oh but I do. I took accounting in high school and a couple of courses in college, plus I did my first internship doing accounting (second was for investment banking). I had to basically learn everything over again in the internship and I had used like 10% of what I learned and had to learn the other 90% on the job. So yeah, I'm agreeing with you, but you're also agreeing with me - that accounting isn't such a tough course; if it was, why isn't it even close to the 'difficulty of the real job'? And even as complicated as real-world accounting is, there's nothing especially hard about it; experience can easily cover for all the complications.

Again, people need to understand what I am saying. There are a lot of smart people in accounting, and certainly it is a tough job to do, but as a course, as a subject, it isn't so hard, and one that doesn't require any special skills to learn. And whatever is difficult in real-world accounting isn't necessarily because of accounting itself, it's because so many other things get tacked on to doing accounting.

I don't know what you mean if something is "not because of accounting itself", but hedge accounting, migration from GAAP to IFRS, derivatives accounting, AFS vs. HTM assets, executive compensation accounting...these are just a few of the topics you'd deal with in the real world especially in today's crisis. You cannot isolate what is "tacked on" from what's in the college textbook because accounting as an organic subject with new standards, problems and analytic approaches being developed constantly and growing out of what was taught in the past. For example, the IASB is now contemplating making companies mark to market all assets every reporting period in light of the writedowns happening today. If that happens, it'll be in the textbooks several years from now.

And if the UP summa quit accounting because it didn't suit her, then she is smart for making the decision.

Please, the first time I took a single problem exam was when I was 15. Have you taken a single-problem two-day exam, where out of 120 possible points, the highest score was a 30 -- out of the whole country? I know what 'hard' means. And 'hard' isn't just limited to doing a single-problem exam. Doing an econometrics research paper is hard, especially when you had to do 20 hours of regressions in a 25 page paper and you only had a week to do it (on top of normal work); learning auction theory by yourself and then presenting it to the entire math department who have no idea what you're talking about is excruciating; reading two books a week and writing paper after paper, and watching film after film, then having a class with a teacher that who, even after all your work, is still five levels above you is... you know what I mean.

At least you know how to begin answering that single-problem exam.

I don't actually care about the experience of your friend, because I have friends who are accountants who had difficulty with other subjects, too.

I just responded to you asking what 'hard' is - of course there were breaks in the exam. If it is counted in my GPA or not doesn't change the difficulty of it. And you do it regularly, too - which means people can do it and have done it regularly; you can even say that it is required for you to do it. This is another indicator of how hard it is. Think about which is harder: something you can pass, or something you cannot. I can probably take a month, study my *** off, and pass your exam. You can't do the same for mine. It's more like mastering Beethoven's Symphony No. 7.

And I am not doing accounting - why should I know the intricacies of IFRS and IAS 39, especially when I can look it up in two seconds. Memorization does not define 'hard'. At best it is just a prerequisite.

P.S.
I actually have a good grasp on derivatives. I was going to apply for quant if not for the crises today.

I can isolate what's being taught from what's not being taught.

No, you can’t. Let’s look at one simple example. You can’t warn investors in great detail about potential off balance sheet SIVs with pools of subprime, alt-A and investment grade assets if you don’t know how to read a balance sheet. College accounting and real world accounting go hand in hand, even if it gets more complicated in the real world.

And 'several' does not mean two years -it'll take at least three.

If IASB adopts the running in 2009, it'll likely be in the textbooks by late 2010. US textbooks at least. This possible adoption is already included in the internal coursework of global financial services companies.

I can isolate what's being taught from what's not being taught. And 'several' does not mean two years -it'll take at least three.

I agree accounting is complicated, and you have a better idea of it than I do -- but it doesn't change the fundamentals of accounting as a subject, which isn't really that hard to grasp.

The point remains that real world accounting is not easier than college accounting. It's a lot more complicated and intriguing. With regards to what you call the "core" or “fundamentals“; it sounds to me like you're only talking about 101/102 topics (A = L + E, SLD, transfer pricing mechanics, etc.). Obviously that doesn’t capture everything that there is in accounting - not even the tip of the iceberg and certainly not the most interesting part about the field. Real world accounting - at least the part that pays off - means being ahead of the curve and looking beyond what was taught in classrooms. Just look at the way many idiotic investment bankers underwrote debt in generous terms for companies with serious hedging risks. Sounds more like they were 3 times overpaid.

No I am not under estimating you. You just said that you are not a BSA student, and the two couses in accounting that you took are the major ones? and you skipped the pre requisites? Im sorry, but, you seemed to misuderstand what a "pre-requisite" means.
Also, the manner of teaching the accounting subjects to non-BSA students are too "mild", that if a BSA student will answer a problem that a non-BSA student would take at least an hour or two just to produce a "decent" answer (not sure if the answer is correct, but good enough not to give just a wild guess), the BSA student would probably finish the problem easily for ten minutes. (considering that they are taking the same subject at the same time)
Its not like, when you mastered arithmetic easily, you can already tell that diffrencial and integral calculus is also easy.

and also, the BSA students, the ones that trully know the course, are testifying that accounting is hard, and their opinions are more reliable than non-BSA students'. ( at least regarding this matter.)

I myself, find the subject "Phililppine Constitution" easy (because im no law student so... ) does that mean LAW is easy?

No, you can’t. Let’s look at one simple example. You can’t warn investors in great detail about potential off balance sheet SIVs with pools of subprime, alt-A and investment grade assets if you don’t know how to read a balance sheet. College accounting and real world accounting go hand in hand, even if it gets more complicated in the real world.

Yes, but we are talking about accounting as a course - of course I can separate what's being taught. Almost all courses are more complicated in the real world. This is about the most bad-*ss course, isn't it?

If IASB adopts the running in 2009, it'll likely be in the textbooks by late 2010. US textbooks at least. This possible adoption is already included in the internal coursework of global financial services companies.

Of course companies move faster - they have to. But schools, after that you need to have departmental meetings, course reviews, balancing the syllabus, teacher re-trainings and re-certification or even hiring of additional faculty. Plus the additional standards would take time to be put into textbook form, it would usually go through graduate students first. Schools might pass on the first books put out, because publisher agreements may constrain purchase, or they may wait for more established teaching professors to write their own books. There are also issues of whether they should actually change the curriculum at all - if the change is significant, it will take awhile to adopt the changes (core courses are usually locked in for at least two years); if the change isn't, then there may be no use to changing at all.

There may be circumstances where all these complications (and others) may be smoothed over; but if it isn't life-or-death for the course, then it will take several years.

The point remains that real world accounting is not easier than college accounting. It's a lot more complicated and intriguing. With regards to what you call the "core" or “fundamentals“; it sounds to me like you're only talking about 101/102 topics (A = L + E, SLD, transfer pricing mechanics, etc.).

OK. I agree with what you said here. When I said accounting is easy - I always meant it's easy as a course. That's why I always go back to the 'fundamentals', 'tacked-on', etc.

P.S.
Investment bankers are certainly not overpaid - not for their hours, and not for their skills. At least not until they become MD.

No I am not under estimating you. You just said that you are not a BSA student, and the two couses in accounting that you took are the major ones? and you skipped the pre requisites? Im sorry, but, you seemed to misuderstand what a "pre-requisite" means.
Also, the manner of teaching the accounting subjects to non-BSA students are too "mild", that if a BSA student will answer a problem that a non-BSA student would take at least an hour or two just to produce a "decent" answer (not sure if the answer is correct, but good enough not to give just a wild guess), the BSA student would probably finish the problem easily for ten minutes. (considering that they are taking the same subject at the same time)
Its not like, when you mastered arithmetic easily, you can already tell that diffrencial and integral calculus is also easy.

and also, the BSA students, the ones that trully know the course, are testifying that accounting is hard, and their opinions are more reliable than non-BSA students'. ( at least regarding this matter.)

I myself, find the subject "Phililppine Constitution" easy (because im no law student so... ) does that mean LAW is easy?

I know perfectly what a pre-requisite is. And I skipped them - I used my stats for one, self-studied for another, then talked to the professor for the third (more than half was only useful for majors). And I said this before but I took a course for majors, and participated in class, did homework, and finished the exam, just like everyone else. But speaks more to me than to how hard the course is.

And on regards to judging difficulty, actually, I have a better leg to stand on, since I am an amateur -- I base my judgment from a wider base; from my experience in picking up the topic; from envisioning what other skills one needs to master the topic.

P.S. You misrepresented the analogy.

arithmetic is grade school; if you used calculus, which is a basic college topic, then you can envision how hard differential calculus is (or multivariable math, or linear algebra, etc.) It's because calculus is a 'core' subject in math.

and philippine constitution is not a subject - maybe it's a concentration, or else you mean that you have memorized our constitution or something. In the former, it is a specialization; in the latter it is completely unrelated to the understanding and interpretation of the law.

the basic idea is, knowing the core helps you in envisioning how hard could a subject be.

e.g.

literary analysis - english
ancient/modern - philosophy
econometrics/macro/micro - economics
music theory - music
ballet - dance

every major have some core subjects, and if people can't tell if how hard the course is (and how well you suit it), then the curriculum is not good. and if the course didn't prepare you for the complications of the real world, then the education itself is not good. I have to assume that your education was excellent.

I know perfectly what a pre-requisite is. And I skipped them - I used my stats for one, self-studied for another, then talked to the professor for the third (more than half was only useful for majors).

So this is why you said that accounting is easy?

Im sorry if I seemed to misrepresented the analogy. but you constantly mentioned that you handled your accounting easily in HIGH SCHOOL

math has its basics, same goes for accounting.

What I am trying to say is that, (and let me re-phrase this one) law students say that PHILIPPINE CONSTITUTION is a killer course in law school, but we find it "not so difficult" because the manner of teaching the constitution to us, (not law students) is not af if the professors are teaching it to law students. Because we are not supposed to practice law after college. Same goes for non-BSA students. Who do you think will win if a law student(or maybe political science) who got a grade of 75 percent will compete with a commerce/economics/fine arts graduate who says that they passed their constitution easilly (and maybe got a grade as high as 100 percent) in Constitution?

It’ll be in the textbooks by late 2010 if the change is as profound as changing the way the value of assets are reported. It’s a change in a rule, not a trend.

Yes, but we are talking about accounting as a course - of course I can separate what's being taught. Almost all courses are more complicated in the real world. This is about the most bad-*ss course, isn't it?

OK. I agree with what you said here. When I said accounting is easy - I always meant it's easy as a course. That's why I always go back to the 'fundamentals', 'tacked-on', etc.

But then that’s as good as someone else saying that “economics is easy” because he can study by himself how firms use linear programming tableus to compute the cost of producing 3 different kinds of products. People who use economics at the professional level will say he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

But yes, some fields have easy concepts at the college level. Colleges should do better by bringing students up to speed with what’s going on at the graduate/professional level.

P.S.
Investment bankers are certainly not overpaid - not for their hours, and not for their skills. At least not until they become MD.

I’ve been through the whole analyst-associate thing also. It’s not about the hours but the value added. There’s a lot of overhead costs in a deal before you pay the MD. An associate in a Philippine investment house gets paid $12K/year and he can work the same hours, run the same models and perform the same due diligence at the same quality as someone from an American investment bank. And I’m not that impressed with their skills anymore, especially now that I spend a great amount of time on the buy side pointing out the very obvious mistakes they make even at the MD level.

Ang pinaka-astig na kurso ay Physics.

Yung mga accountancy diyan, hirap na sa P1 at P2, pano pa P6. *everyone laughed at this Atty. D joke, anyway accountancy majors should get this*

But anyway, I think that anything pure and theoretical like Physics or Maths is really the most impressive degree, of course coupled with a Ph.D.(anything less I won't consider any good). All the rest, which probably means everyone else in PEX since I don't think we have any Physics or Maths Ph.Ds here, are just living their own lives, but not really doing anything to contribute to the sum of human knowledge.

walang pinaka-astig.

pero maraming astig.

physics, chemistry, microbiology. -astig dahil kokonti lang ang may intellectual capacity makapag-aral ng mga kursong yan.

accounting, math, engineering. -astig dahil sasakit ang ulo mo sa dami ng numero.

psychology, political science, journalism. -astig dahil hindi lahat ng tao kayang magbasa ng makapal na libro, mag-analyze at magbahagi ng ideya sa ibang tao.

culinary arts. -kung walang nag-aaral ng culinary, kahit gaano kalaki ang sweldo mo, di ka makaktikim ng masarap na pagkain. lol.

veterinary medicine. -hindi lahat ng tao kayang sikmurain ang pagdadissect ng iba't-ibang klaseng hayop at pagpapaanak ng kabayo.

aeronautics. -mahal kasi tuition. haha. chaka meron ba dito nun?

marami pang ibang "astig" na kurso. depende yan sa tao kung anong definition mo ng astig. depende din yan sa tao kung anong landas ang gusto mong tahakin... e ano kung graduate ka ng prestihiyosong kurso pero pinilit ka lang naman ng magulang mo? diba hindi rin astig. kaya nga basic lang ang gradeschool at highschool e. dahil sa kolehiyo, dun ka mag-uumpisang hubugin ang buhay mo. dun mo palang sisimulang gawing astig ang bawat araw ng buhay mo.

Quadruple Degree (BS-MS)

BSCHE-BSCHM-BSBT-MSENV

Mapua Tech

BS Chemical Engineering-BS Chemistry-BS Biotechnology-MS Environmental Engineering

It's a 6-year Program. 4-in-1.

^ That Program is existing in the said Institute. One student is taking it though.

Anyway, regarding the thread topic, we define first what astig means? magaling, maganda, pang-matalino, mahirap, pang-mayaman?

It's not even a formal Filipino word; it's meaning is relative to every reader's interpretation (well, I have enumerated mine already); so how would we qualify a certain Degree Program to be as such?

If we're gonna interpret it in terms of the degree of difficulty, which I am sure is what the threadstarter meant to appear, the answer would be indefinite because everybody has/her (own) interest. A difficult Program would be a very easy for another and vice versa. So the question has no definite and objective answer.
