What can I recommend for the improvement of the Fieldtrip and Seminar Program?

As a concerned student, I have my recommendation for the improvement of the fieldtrip and seminar program. The first thing is that give enough time in visiting and staying in the chosen companies. Also consider the fact that Manila is the preeminent busiest roads nationwide, so it is good thing to make gather ahead of time to avoid delays.


Students who are enrolling to the said subject will not be dependable only to those officers negotiating facts and expenses. You also have the responsibility. If the deadlines of payments are settle you have to work it and approach your parent in advance. When the field trip is finally come, students are responsible enough to discipline their self in waking up and should be time conscious in every instance to avoid delay. A disobedient single student may ruin the whole trip. Spend your money wisely, this will also matter. Don’t buy your “pasalubong” in Malls, but spend it in Divisoria. You can surely save your money. To the next officers in charge, you have to execute your assigned task and complete those tasks enough to the time required to avoid delayed information. When meeting is settle don’t be late! You should be the good model to your classmates. When the field trip is finally come, officers are in charged to observed and monitor different scenarios to avoid conflicts. Also the members need tp participate so that the officers can easily manage the crowd.

Since, it was the first time for the college to hold this kind of event, flaws are possible. But next time, it is better to improve the accommodations. Choose better companies and be sure that those company are in-line with the course which the students are taking. Have a funny tour guides so that we won't get bored in the tour.

Overall, it was great and very okay. We learned a lot. We gained knowledge that we can't have by just staying at school, studying and facing books. We witness real machines and true to life experience with the things happening in the big cities like Manila. The experiences that I had with this trip will remain in my mind, I won't forget those things that I could bring throughout my life. By that trip, another milestone of my life had been established. And it was a thankful opportunity for me to take through the journey of my life.

During the field trip we can’t really tell that the whole trip was a hundred percent perfect, of course nothing is perfect. There were flaws and problems that we encountered and it was not easy for the officers and our facilitators. Some problems have risen since we have started planning the trip. We are the first batch to have this subject that is why we have encountered problems.
I recommend that the facilitators will do the planning, present the possible choices, and just let the students chose what they like because it will end up that way in the end. On the land arrangement like bus travels, it would be better to ask the companies the maximum number of students that they can accommodate at a time. So that the class can assign students with their respective buses and finalize the listing before the trip. With this the class can avoid conflicts on the bus assignment, the officers and facilitators won’t have to announce the groupings room to room every night, students won’t get confused, and the group can depart early.
The main problem that I noticed was on the planning of the major field trip, maybe the students should not be involved too much on this part, but must have the right and enough participation.

The whole tour came out successful for me because the whole trip was done in a way which all of us have learned the things in which the trip was for and its goals is to give us information about the new trend and technology in which here in Davao haven’t reach yet and overall specially the companies that we have planned to visit was all visited except for the changes that had occurred in the schedules but still I would consider it as part of the trip. Because after all the whole tour went smoothly. But I would recommend some improvements in some things that I had noticed the very first thing we had arrived and checked in, in our own rooms. The hotel accommodation because we had a room in which I myself really had a hard feelings on why the room we had was like a hospital room, the bed we had was not comfortable even the refrigerator was stinking and they are not cleaning it ever night we come back from our tour, the towels haven’t change the toiletries. Specially the space of the room; we were so hard on walking in and out the room because it was too small for us; having five of us in a small room and very biased to others; when we have paid fairly and equally to our hotel accommodation when the others had a very nice room and comfortable beds. In which the misfortune people like us was don’t have any choice but to accept the room we had. I hope next time or for the next trip they would really first take some advice on where and what hotel to book and the officers and members would really have some time on deciding and may they have some pictures of the place jut for the samples and verification of the place. Second the restaurants and places that would be the fun time of the day I hope the restaurants that they would be taking up is different each day so they would try all the food chains and restaurants that are not here in Davao. I hope all the meals would be “Eat All” you can but please not the Belore type one; I never enjoyed their food. And for the shopping time and fun time, I hope they would give at least two to three hours after the meal so we can shop without worrying the time; and for the fun time I hope next time at instead of “Enchanted Kingdom” it would be “Star City” because they would really enjoy the promo “Ride All You Can” in there not like us the whole time we were just taking up the line for just one ride for two hours I can’t say I enjoyed my promo if “Ride All You Can”. And for the seminars I hope that they would level it up more the gaming and visualizing things specially the one on making a real thesis we really enjoyed and learned a lot from it but next time the one who can speak English and Filipino would be better and without the accent because it’s so boring and we can’t barely understand the discussions just like in UP with Mr. Carlos Bott.
