LA SALLIAN STUDENTS

AN EVALUATION TO THE LA SALLIAN STUDENTS

Negative:
Students in the university project different images. They can be good inside the campus but once got out, the unexpected happens. Some of them smoke till they drop. Some just go around and chat nonsense with their “kabarkadas”.

Once you enter an internet shop/computer shop, you will be glad to see many students searching for their assignments but at the moment you look on the big screens of the computer, you will be disappointed finding out that would only search the web for online games. Online games that won’t help them with their studies.

Most of the students inside the university just hang around their building when break time comes. You won’t see most of them studying their lessons. They love chatting with their classmates and they would come to class almost late...

In terms of classes, as we have observed, some students do not participate in the class discussion. More often, they just want to listen and listen until the classes ended.

Positive:
There are also celebrations in the university wherein most of the students participate. Not all students are passive.
Students really know how to deal with other people. They can adapt easily to the environment that they have. They know how to speak with their classmate, when ever there are group works, discussion or projects. The work can be done easily when students are all cooperating with the group.
Students usually hang out on different places in the university. They stay in these places to do whatever they have to do – assignments, projects or just simply sharing of different stories with each other. Such places are:

· Rotonda
The place where students spend time during their breaks or when classes ended
· Kubo
This is the place where most students go and do their things.

· Library
This is the place for students who are looking for some assignments or projects. This is also a place for students who want to study in a quiet place.
· Canteens
The place where all the students go when break time comes.
There are also La Sallian students who are actively participating in the universities’ activities. Students join different clubs and organization to enhance their skills and talents.

What Students Don’t Want to Happen?

Students have unique way dealing of dealing with other people. What students don’t want to happen is to compare them with other people.

Students really get upset whenever teachers or professors keep on comparing them with other students, sections, course or colleges. Students believe that they have their own personalities and they have their own way of dealing with their studies, so they really get offended each time their teacher say something bad about them. They put in their mind that they are not that good. Every time their class starts, they would not have the courage to study well because they would always think that comparison will happen once more.

But there are still students who will prove that what their professors have said isn’t true. They will show that even if they are not that good compared to other students, they can make some things that can uplift their spirits. Most students actively participate in class discussion; do well in quizzes and examinations and get good grades on their finals.

Let’s just say that every student is unique, so what the students’ are asking for is for other people to avoid comparing us to other students. Because we have our own way in studying, In dealing with other people and in living our life. Students also need respect from other people. That’s all what we, students, want.

@ dlsu-d kubo.... The place where we belong!!!!

The dlsu-d provides a place for students to use during their spare time. Students spend almost of their time in kubos to do their GROUP works, assignment and other activities inside the campus. It also serves as a meeting place for the students and chat to their friends.

History

The De La Salle University-Dasmariñas was first established on July 18, 1977 as a private nonsectarian tertiary school named General Emilio Aguinaldo College (GEAC)- Cavite and managed by the Yaman Lahi Foundation in Dasmariñas, Cavite. The College had Dr. Paulo C. Campos as its president. It started with the Division of Health and Sciences with six faculty members and the Division of Arts and Sciences served by nine faculty members. Offered during its first semester were the following courses: Education and Elementary Education, Secretarial Administration, Nursing, Foods and Nutrition, Midwifery, Radiologic Technology and Business Administration.

Technical courses were later included in its program offerings to help the youth of the community who could not afford a costly four-year college education and to train them to be skilled and valuable citizens of the society. These courses included Agriculture Technology, Electrical Technology, Electronics Technology, and Refrigeration and Air-conditioning. Furthermore, a commitment to improve the lives of the underprivileged sectors of the community motivated GEAC-Cavite to offer courses in Dressmaking, High Speed Machine Operation and Ceramics structured either for six months or two of intensive study and training.

In 1987, ownership and management were transferred to Frere (Saint) Benilde Romancon Educational Foundation Inc., a nonstock, nonprofit sister corporation of De La Salle University, Inc. Under the new management, it became a Catholic institution and member of the De La Salle University System with a new name, De La Salle University - Emilio Aguinaldo College (DLSU-EAC). Bro. Andrew Gonzalez, FSC was then the President and Dr. Oscar Bautista was the Executive Vice President. By this time, DLSU-EAC, has already instigated the colleges of Physical Therapy, Arts and Sciences, Nursing and Midwifery, and the Graduate School to address the escalating demand for additional courses. During the first year of DLSU-EAC, ninety percent of the freshmen came from Cavite specifically Dasmariñas, Imus, Silang and other Southern Tagalog areas. The other ten percent came form Las Piñas. On its second year, the number of freshmen who came from Cavite and other Southern Tagalog areas dropped to about sixty-five percent due to the increased percentage of Metro Manila enrollees, which was thirty-five percent.

Since DLSU assumed ownership of the college on June 1, 1987, the enrolment has dramatically kept increasing. Likewise, the number of faculty members has greatly increased and the teaching force's enthusiasm in pursuing graduate studies became very evident as shown in the statistics of faculty members who were enrolled in the master's and doctoral programs.

In 1992, the name DLSU-EAC was changed to De La Salle University - Aguinaldo. This period saw the term of Bro. Rafael S. Donato as president. The leadership of the University was likewise transferred from one dynamic leader to another. Mr. Cecilio Acasio was the executive vice president in 1994. Dr. Ambrosio Capayas had a short stint as officer-in-charge before Dr. Herminia Torres took the reins in 1995.

The advent of 1994 was typified by the return of Bro. Andrew Gonzalez, FSC as president, who was re-elected to his second term in 1997. In line with Bro. Andrew Gonzalez's long-term plan to concentrate all the health sciences programs in one campus, the College of Physical Therapy was transferred to the College of Medicine in 1994. Consequently, the campus was renamed DLSU-Health Sciences Campus which eventually absorbed the remaining two health sciences programs namely Bachelor of Science in Nursing and Midwifery and Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Technology in 2000.

Eventually, the University's name became De La Salle University - Dasmariñas upon the approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 20, 1997. The change of the name was triggered by the confusion brought about by the establishment of the new Emilio Aguinaldo College in Dasmariñas, Cavite, and the desire of the whole academic community to institute a distinct name and reputation for itself.

At present, DLSU-Dasmariñas offers several programs through its seven colleges: Business Administration, Liberal Arts, Sciences. Engineering and Technology, International Hospitality Management and Tourism, Law Enforcement and Public Safety, and Education. Its population has marked more than twelve thousand and is expected to increase in the succeeding years.

In the immediate future, the De La Salle University - Dasmariñas intends to achieve excellence in regional studies and academic programs relevant to the needs of the CALABARZON area. This will be addressed through adopting quality and effective instruction exerted by competent faculty members. Moreover, it aims to produce graduates who are globally competitive and to earn further distinction in board examinations. To strengthen research on Cavite studies, a museum has been constructed to house Cavite historical treasures and to generate research outputs on Cavite history and culture.
