Dear Parents:

As a partner in promoting discipline, integrity, excellence, and service (SMHS core values), I would like to inform you of the
general rules and instructions of our Practical Research 2 class which was agreed upon during the orientation happened last 4-
11 November 2019.

This will also serve as an agreement among students, parents, and instructor of PR2 subject of the students for the second
semester of SY 2019-2020. The contents were discussed and consensually agreed on which the contents are comprehensively
presented below:

General Rules:
1. Topics should be strictly connected to the track/strand of the group (except for Arts and TVL)
2. Students can choose between making Quantitative Research or Qualitative-Quantitative Research.
3. A maximum of four (4) members in a group is allowed.
4. Member/s of a group can be removed upon the decision of the remaining members. The instructor should be informed
ASAP.
5. Students who are deliberately removed by the original members may not be a part of another group except when a new
group is formed (members are students who were removed by other group).
6. Parents of the eliminated members of the group will be called immediately for a conference together with the students
of the former group.
7. Groupings (and all documents created by the group) will be turned-over to the 3iS instructor the following semester.
8. No two students can be a part of the same group if there is a prior agreement between the student and the instructor
(special cases in PR1).
9. Groupings should be identified on or before 29 November.
10. No excuse will be accepted for not having a group.

Instructions:
1. Students are required to have “gmail” and should familiarize themselves in using “Google Drive”.
2. A folder for each section will be created by the instructor and to be shared to every member of the class.
3. Every student is required to create their own folder in Google Drive.
4. Every student is required to upload 2 research papers every week about the topic they want to research as part of their
weekly readings (1 for every meeting).
5. Documents must be submitted in two different forms: soft copy (sent via Google Drive) and printed copy.
6. Documents (soft copy) should be submitted strictly on or before the given deadline. A passing grade of 75 is the highest
possible grade that the group can get for late submission.
7. Printed copy of the document can be submitted during the next schedule of the class after the deadline.
8. Exchange of proposal schedule can be done internally upon the agreement of the groups involved.
9. The students are required to submit 3 sets of documents at least 3 days before the scheduled proposal.
