Reviews of BSEd in Biology graduates:

M. B.

◈ Studied BSEd-Biology
◈ At Agusan Del Sur State College of Agriculture and Technology
◈ Graduated 2014

Why did I choose BSEd in Biology: Because teaching is one of my passions.

About my college education: I learned from this course that studying the origin of life is very important in order for us to relate with our environment and the things present in that certain environment.
Most difficult was assignments in inorganic chemistry and laboratory works.
For me it's not difficult especially when you study, a lot of people failed... not that much but, there are also people who decided to shift because they give up easily.

My current job: I don't have a job right, I'm preparing for the Board Examination for teachers

Advice to people who are thinking of studying this course: Don't stop learning because studying science courses is a broad field. there's no limitation of asking questions. Have patience and endurance.
Be a responsible student. Make sure that you are a good reader, listener and follower.
