COURSE DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS

A. Lecture Sessions

● The course will utilize both synchronous and asynchronous mode for lecture sessions and
delivery.

a. Online classes will be done through video conferencing applications like Zoom,
Google Meet, etc. depending on their class schedule.

b. Links of lecture videos will be uploaded on the Blackboard course site.

• All slides will be uploaded on the Blackboard course site.

• The course will be mainly using VS Code, an IDE compatible with both Windows and MAC.
Students that are using mobile devices can also download a C++ offline compiler (mobile
application) from Play Store (Android) or App Store (Apple) or may use an online compiler
(https://www.onlinegdb.com/) that is accessible in either web or mobile browser.

• Additional examples using lecture videos will also be done in the same manner to supplement
student’s needs.

B. Assessments
• Instructors will be having formative assessments every after the lecture discussion to
measure the students ability to grasp the programming concepts discussed. This formative
assessment is a 15-item short quiz composed of questions that are either multiple-choice type
or True or False type.

• Summative assessments will be done via group. Each member of the group will present their
group work and will be asked certain questions regarding their work to assess if they helped
in making the codes.

• Major exams will be done individually and will assess the ability of the students to code.

• Lecture-workbook materials will be uploaded as optional activities for the students to practice
the programming topics.

C. Consultation

• Students who have concerns regarding the lectures or assessments are advised to consult their
respective instructors and grades will be disseminated using UST Blackboard/Email.
