Mudra Mukula

Arlo Ricardo Sanico IV - Graviton
Liza Mae Jane Abucejo IV - Tau
Batch 2012


Team Name.
We are both Lithium 2012 and there was this time that this hand gesture

was used or expressed by everyone. This hand gesture is from yoga and is called Mukula Mudra.


STR Elective?
Everyone knows that STR is a hard subject. It's hard (or impossible) to cram. So why did we chose RAPD? We thought that this elective can help us with our STR2 projects + the teacher is so awesome. :>


Impressions.
RAPD is a new elective that is offered to 4th years. We never thought that having oral defenses can be fun and not that frightening. Also, since there are only 10 of us in the class, it's easy to interact with each other which made the class bonded and having fun. Lastly, the teacher, since she was our STR1 teacher when we were 3rd year, we somewhat expected that this elective will be fun.


Cucurbits, our project.
Our project was all about creating a nutrient-enriched brownie. For us to complete the project we needed cooperation and diligence, also, we just enjoyed what we were doing.


Fun & Challenging.
The fun parts were, of course, the baking part [we were also elective-mates last 3rd year in food science] and the selling part. The challenging parts were finding a project to modify and the part where we needed to write papers.


Memories.
The most memorable classroom activitiy is of course all the oral defenses. :) We never expected defending our projects and questioning other projects was that fun. The most memorable outdoor class activity was the field trip to the DOST compound because we learned a lot from that field trip.


Wanted activity?
All in all, the activities were fun and interesting. Any other activities will be fine.


Message to future RAPD students.
Don't think about RAPD as STR2 because they are different. Don't cram the requirements. Just enjoy the elective.
