SOCIAL AGREEMENT IN SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIETY CLASS
For everyone to be well guided as a responsible part of the class, the following
guidelines and policies will be applied in class. This is to ensure that the learning
process will take place with respect and understanding of each other’s roles and
responsibilities.
1. Always attend your online class on time. Sync meetings are certain except for
emergencies and holidays.
2. Wear decent attire. Note that this is still a classroom setting. Choose a good
location in attending your class.
3. Mute your microphone if the host is speaking or if you experience unavoidable
background noise.
4. During discussion meetings always turn ON your video camera to validate your
attendance.
5. Give your full, focused attention. Takedown notes and participate in class
discussion.
6. When you have a question or comment, use the “Raise your Hand” button that
can be found in the window that pops up when you click on Participants in the
bottom menu. Wait to be acknowledged by the teacher before unmuting yourself
to speak.
7. Do not abuse the chat box. It can be a helpful resource or a major distraction.
8. Keep all your assignments done only in CANVAS. Be aware of the dates of
submission.
9. Check your CANVAS home page regularly for new announcements or
notifications of your graded tasks.
10. Be professional by understanding data privacy and information sharing.
11. Notify your professor or the class beadle by sending an excuse letter, medical
certificate, power failure notifications, internet disconnection notice, or any valid
excuse information of your absence. Be responsible to connect with your
classmates on assignments that you missed and make necessary adjustments.
12. Join the STS group on messenger for your academic concerns. Be reminded that
GC will be used as a venue to inform, clarify, announce, and update. Use your
personal messenger account on other matters that do not relate to the course
subject.
13. If you have an important concern channel it to the class beadle who will be
responsible for handling all the concerns of his/her classmates and this will be
relayed to the professor. Therefore, please vote for a responsible, mature,
trustworthy, and consistent beadle who is gifted with self-management skills to
handle others.
14. If in case you decide not to attend the class anymore, please notify your
professor by sending a note of the authorized withdrawal of the subject.

In 1905, Albert Einstein determined that the laws of physics are the same for all non-
accelerating observers, and that the speed of light in a vacuum was independent of the motion
of all observers. This was the theory of special relativity. It introduced a new framework for all of
physics and proposed new concepts of space and time.
Einstein then spent 10 years trying to include acceleration in the theory and published his theory
of general relativity in 1915. In it, he determined that massive objects cause a distortion in
space-time, which is felt as gravity.
According to the Big Bang theory, the expansion of
the observable universe began with the explosion
of a single particle at a definite point in time.
This startling idea first appeared in scientific form in 1931, in a paper by
Georges Lemaître, a Belgian cosmologist and Catholic priest. The
theory, accepted by nearly all astronomers today, was a radical
departure from scientific orthodoxy in the 1930s. Many astronomers at
the time were still uncomfortable with the idea that the universe is
expanding. That the entire observable universe of galaxies began with
a bang seemed preposterous.
