COURSE REQUIREMENTS
As LSPU students, you know that for the most part you will be studying on your own.
Do read/view the resources, guided by the Course Syllabus. This way you will be able to
keep up with the discussion, assignments and other requirements.
A. Participation in the Discussion
The Teaching Profession is a flexible learning course. Class discussions will be online
through the discussion forums in the Google Classroom learning platform.
Please participate in the online discussion since this is an opportunity for you to
clarify what you have learned on your own not only with your tutor but also with other
members of the class. It is also a good way to learn from one another. Depending on the
size of the class, a tutor other than myself, may facilitate online discussions.
Your contribution to the discussion boards will be graded. Your postings should
answer the discussion questions in a concise way and with as much insight and
reflection as possible. There are usually no right or wrong answers to the questions,
only honest and well thought out ones. And please be guided by the following marking
scheme (middle values may be given).

If you “borrow” or use an idea from another source (meaning someone other than
yourself), be sure to cite that source (or sources). Enclose quoted material in
quotation marks or use italics and write
the source. But as much as possible, paraphrase, do not lift. Be reminded that as
per PNU policy, plagiarism can be grounds for suspension or expulsion.
Acknowledge sources and make a bibliography of them at the end of the assignment
following APA (American Psychological Association) guidelines. You can consult
http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/ for the APA formats.
6. Always keep a duplicate copy of your activity sheets in your files just in case you
need to resubmit them (e.g., they are lost in transit; or there is a technological
glitch).
7. SMS and phone calls should be kept to a minimum, should be sent/made only
when necessary, and only between 9am and 9pm, Monday to Saturday.
