COURSE REQUIREMENTS
1. There will be formative and summative tests to evaluate your performance in the course. Formative tests in our course include quizzes,
seatworks, papers (reflection/ reaction/ analysis, etc.) and class participation (in-class discussions, recitation, boardwork, sharing, etc.).
Summative tests, on the other hand, include midterm exam and final exam.
2. Formative Tests:
2.1 The quizzes will test what you have learned during the entire chapter (maximum of 2 chapters). There will be six quizzes (3 for midterm
and 3 for final grading) in our entire course. Each quiz is a combination of objective (either identification, true or false or multiple choice)
and essay (short answer) types.
2.2 The seatworks are used to supplement what you have learned in a particular topic during face-to-face lecture or discussion. Guide
questions will be provided for seatworks and will require you short answers.
2.3 The required papers (case analysis, short film/video clip analysis, situation analysis and reflection essays) are all home-based. These
papers are outputs to the assigned readings and are basically provided with cases or situations guided by questions or statements to
reflect on.
2.4 Class participation (recitation) is based on both attendance in discussion (both face-to-face and online remote modes) as well as the
extent of your active participation, which includes recitation, involvement in boardworks or plays, raising questions, giving ideas, sharing
experiences and making comments pertinent to the topic at hand.
3. Summative Tests:
3.1 The midterm and final exams are major exams that will test what you have learned collectively and comprehensively in the course. The
midterm exam will cover Introduction up to Lessons A to D, while the final exam will cover up to Lessons E up to the last lesson of our
course
4. For submission of homework during remote teaching mode, unless otherwise indicated, please send them on or before the deadline to the official
MS Teams virtual classroom. When you contact me through MS Teams, please indicate the subject
name and the activity title (e.g. BSEd- SST-ShielaAguado-Activity1). Names of attachments (documents or photos)
should also be renamed following the same form.
