4. Give me your insights regarding your modular system of learning.

The modules include sections on motivation and assessments that serve as a complete
guide of both instructors’ and students’ desired competencies. Instructors will monitor the
Learners’ progress through online classes. Online learning is not only type of distance learning.
While the COVID-19 pandemic sent educational institutions scrambling to move classes online,
many forget that there are other modes for distancing learning. For instance, the Lanao Central
College Inc., developed Phone message/call-based instruction method to utilize existing
technology that reach rural areas. However, the most popular mode of distance learning under
consideration is modular learning.

5. What is the importance of legal medicine in your chosen career to be?

Legal medicine has greater relevance to civil and tort law, impacting upon patient care,
whereas forensic medicine relates to criminal law and damage to, patients. Criminology colleges
are showing increased interest in acquainting their students with legal aspects of the practice
of medicine. In addition, Legal Medicine enables him to know the adversarial criminal
justice system, in order to participate as an expert. Legal medicine has attracted very little
reference within legal texts.

6. What is the most important in your own perspective in one’s personality A person with high
Intelligence Quotient (IQ) or a person good attitude but only having average IQ., and why?

Attitudes are formed directly as a result of personal experience or observations.

Personality also fits into the processing of ideas and experiences. Recognize that you are also
influenced by other people, including family, friends, co-workers, peers and cultural groups.
People with a growth mindset believe that they can improve with effort. They outperform those
with a fixed mindset, even when they have a lower IQ, because they embrace challenges, treating
them as opportunities to learn something new. According to Psychologist Carol Dweck has spent
her entire career studying attitude and performance, and her latest study shows that your attitude
is a better predictor of your success than your IQ.
