Feedback from Past Students

"...The way Professor Talisayon handled the course was like YODA.  He did not pretend to know everything, but instead facilitates an interactive learning process where students are free to contribute and stand by what they believed…without reproach. 

...This is one course you will be using for the rest of your learning days.

Knowledge Management is a great course — one course that i want to share with the HR department. In fact, I e-mailed some of the emails that I think will help our organization. I also thought of writing the HR Dept head on giving importance to KM as part of the organization. I am amazed how KM values each individual that sometimes organizations overlook the circumstances when an employee leaves a company. And the egroups/website is one tool that aids the course. Even if it has not been given the 100% attention during the semester, it will always be a reference material long after this semester is over. And for that I am giving myself an [excellent] grade for finishing the course amidst the rain and travel from TMC to Muntinlupa. This I would not want to end without giving my hats off to you, Professor Talisayon, for a great KM course!

Honestly speaking, I find your style of teaching very effective and flexible.  It gives your students a lot of elbow room to adjust to the way they want to learn easily.  The course website, I think is already okay.  I just hope your future classes will find more time to participate more actively in the e-discussions (unlike us). Don't worry Sir, I will surely continue to access it and share my views/thoughts on whatever topic or issue I may find interesting.  I hope our communication and "team learning" would continue even after our class ends.

... Thanks again, Sir for sharing with us your brilliance and I hope we can get together again some time, soon.  Good luck and God bless always.

I can truly say that your desire to teach and impart knowledge on your given field/specialization is genuine enough that you want to make your student learn in whatever venue may be possible. You don't want to pressure your student by forcing them to do things which are beyond their capacity considering that most of them are working.

I've also come to admire the style/methods, and the substance of your teaching because they're so practical and applicable to our everyday encounters, esp. at work.

... Thank you for the wonderful and very productive semester on Knowledge Management.

Sir, first of all, I would to thank you for many "new" things I learned in class.  Actually, nothing is new as you have repeatedly mentioned in the class.  These are just things or perspectives which most of us have overlooked or disregarded in these rapidly changing times...

In addition, I noticed that after being in class for the past months is that I use the terms "tacit" and "explicit" (knowledge) very frequently at home and at work.  Somehow, the repeated mention of these terms and their importance has found its way deep into my system.

Another thing that struck me most was the story about Esbert and Isko — the importance and significance of being 'reflective.'  While I find myself approximately in between these two characters, I am definite that there still is a lot of room for improvement. ...

Again, than you very much sir!

...During the course, I am surprised to find myself talking about tacit and explicit knowledge with my boss and colleagues at work.  I also began to apply “lessons learned meetings”, not only at work but with my family and households as well.  This then reflect the impact and depth of KM learning that I had.  I would like to take this opportunity to commend you for handling the course very well. Your style is very apt to what you are teaching.  Thank you for making me like the course.

Thank you very much for sharing with us your expertise on KM. I have really learned a lot, and my outlook now is to always assess our processes and think of ways on how we can improve through KM... As for the course handling, I have no complaints. All discussions have been very informative and it is really up to us as graduate students to take time and read the assigned reading materials. The practicum has been very helpful for us to actually apply our chosen KM tool in our own organizations. Again, thank you so much sir for your generosity in teaching us.

KM turned out to be much better than what I expected. I really learned a lot from your class and found a lot of KM practical applications for our office and perhaps my own future business use. All concepts taught and shared are very interesting and I like how the class was handled. KM was taught in a very practical and easy to learn method. I had fun and learned a lot of new things from you and our class. Keep up the good work. This is so far the most interesting course TMC offered.
