Course Requirements

During the Common Module, each week corresponds to a lesson that is geared towards national
service. Each lesson has assessment activities, such as reflection paper, creative output, among
others.

For reflection paper and creative outputs, the following criteria shall be followed. For other activities,
please refer to the Study Guides.
● Content - 70%
● Grammar and Coherence (for paper), Creativity (for creative output) - 30%

The rubrics for grading shall be followed as shown:

● Excellent [88-100%]
● Very Good [80-88%)
● Good [72-80%)
● Satisfactory [64-72%)
● Pass [60-64%)
● Remedial/Failing [0-60%)

Lastly, for CWTS 1, the assessment activity is the submission of two project proposals. A project
proposal has the following parts:

I. Project Name
II. Objectives
III. Introduction
IV. Target Community
V. Proposed Timeline
VI. Budget Proposal
VII. Program Flow
VIII. Task Delegation

The criteria and rubrics for grading the project proposals are the same with that of reflection papers.

Grading Breakdown:

The course is divided into the Common Module (CM) and CWTS 1 component. You are required to
submit all requirements in both components to be able to receive a grade.

Late submission of requirements would entail a 20% deduction from your total score in that particular
assessment. Failure to submit any of the requirements will result in a grade of INC.

House Rules:
You are requested to observe the following:

1. Be kind to yourself and be gentle to others. These are extraordinary situations that have
affected everyone in many ways and levels. Please treat others with respect and compassion.

2. Be mindful of time and its importance. Visit the course site and check your email regularly
for any updates. The course schedule is made to maximize the allotted time for the semester.
Make sure that you follow this schedule and submit the requirements on time.

3. Do your part in the learning process. Read, watch, and study and repeat again as necessary.
Remote learning is so much different than we are used to and studying mostly on your own
has a unique set of challenges. Reach out to your Instructor or to your classmates for support
if you encountered some difficulty. Consult your Instructor if you think you are not doing well;
not when it is too late.

4. Help others when you can. All members of the class: WE—you, your classmates, and the
Instructors—are in this journey together.

5. Adhere to the UP motto: Honor and Excellence. While our present connected world made
sharing and collaboration so easy, maintain your integrity and values. Do your own work
during the formal assessments (reflection papers, creative outputs, etc.) and not share them
with others. Any student found to violate University rules on intellectual dishonesty shall be
subject to the investigation process as prescribed by existing University guidelines.
