ABSTRACT ALGEBRA I (M114)
Second Semester A.Y. 2020-2021
VISION:
A research-based academic institution committed to excellence and service in nurturing globally competitive workforce towards sustainable development
MISSION:
RSU shall nurture an academic environment that provides advanced education, higher technological and professional instruction and technical expertise in
agriculture and fishery, forestry, engineering and technology, education, humanities, sciences, and other relevant fields of study and collaborative with other
institutions and communities and communities through responsive, relevant and research-based extension services.
GOALS:
Quality education; competitive graduates; research competence; community extension services; worthwhile values and attitudes, critical thinking and lifelong
skills.
CORE VALUES:
Fortitude
Integrity
Stewardship
Humility
Excellence
Service
These core values “FISHES” serve as guiding principles of Romblon State University-Santa Fe Campus in achieving its goals as recognized Fisheries
Institution not only in the province but also in the country in the coming years and beyond.

OBJECTIVES:
To develop relevant expertise and competence in the academe and deliver quality education for the total development of BEED/ BSED students;
To produce competitive graduates;
To enhance research competence, extension capability and sustainable production in order to contribute to the general advancement of knowledge and
community development; and
To develop students’ moral character, critical thinking, aesthetic, environmental, and cultural values.
COURSE TITLE: Abstract Algebra I
COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course covers groups, subgroups, cyclic groups, permutation groups, abelian groups, normal subgroups, quotient groups and
homomorphisms and isomorphism theorems, rings, integral domains, fields, ring homomorphisms, ideals, and field of quotients.

COURSE CODE: M114

CREDIT UNITS: 3
PRE-REQUISITES: Fundamental Concepts of Mathematics
COURSE REQUIREMENTS
1. Major Exams (Midterm/Final)
2. Quizzes
3. Output/Activity
COURSE POLICIES
In order to pass this course, you must:

1) Answer all the quizzes as reflected in the Module;

2) Submit the required outputs of the course;
3) Achieve a passing mark in the major examinations; and
4) Gain in-depth understanding of the concepts through research, course readings and course tasks.
1. Quizzes (25%)
Every Friday a quiz will be administered and uploaded through messenger. The quiz will be administered synchronously. Meaning, it will be
administered in the same date and time. These examinations will test your learning of the concepts based on the course materials. As shown, 25% of
your grade will be coming from the quizzes. Take note that answers will be forwarded in private message (PM).
2. Output/Activity (35%)
There will be outputs/activities in this course which will be done individually. Each output/activity comprises to thirty five percent (35%) of your final
grade. Therefore, each student should do these tasks with dedication and sincerity.
3. Major Exams (40%)
Major Examinations will be administered. As mentioned, these exams will be administered the same time to all learners. These include the topics
 that were covered by Week 1 to 5. Questions will be coming from the modules, course reading and other course materials provided by instructor.

Note: Subjects are clustered into 3 groups. Each cluster is composed of 2-3 subjects with the combination of general education and major subjects. In this
scheme, students are required to enroll on 2-3 subjects per cluster and to complete the course requirements for only 5 weeks.

COURSE OUTCOMES:
In this course, the students are expected to:

1. State with precision the definition of a group, a sub group, a ring, a field and etc.
2. determine if a given set with given operation/s is a group, a subgroup, a ring, a field, etc.
3. apply definitions and theorems to carry out computations and constructions involving different algebraic structures
 4. apply definitions and theorems to prove properties that are satisfied by all groups, subgroups, rings, etc.
5. recall the definitions and the basic properties of certain basic properties of certain dihedral, symmetric, alternating
6. recall the definition and basic properties of other objects such as homomorphism, isomorphism, kernel, direct product of groups, quotient groups, etc.
