Other curricular activities

National Service Training Program (NSTP)
The Commission mandates NSTP courses on Higher Education as part of the
curriculum of all programs. For NSTP requirements for community service,
OEd students are encouraged to partner with local governments or non-
government organizations they (students) can partner with to provide
service to their community members. For OEd students with disabilities,
AMAU OEd encourages them to create learning modules for other PWDs
related to their program.
On-the-Job Training / Practicum Training
Evaluation of Student Performance
Since a definite work schedule shall have been agreed upon between the
Practicum Advisor/ Mentor and the training institution practicum
supervisors, the student must be able to finish the work assigned to him/her
on time. The student will be evaluated on the basis of the performance of the
tasks assigned to him/her.
The following skills/competencies/attitude will be the basis for assessing
student-trainee performance and numerical grade.
Technical Skills. Effective application of identified skills and knowledge to
meet the requirements or problems in their assigned areas or scope of
responsibility (e.g., documentation, encoding, programming, etc.)
Quality Work. Consider the accuracy of work done based on expected
output, reliability of the output, judgment to quality standards, and delivery
of output against target dates.
Initiative and Dedication. Consider attitudes toward work (e.g.,
enthusiasm, aggressiveness, and persistence)
Interpersonal and Team Relationships. Harmonious working
relationships in carrying out work activities with employees and exibility and
receptiveness in dealing with others.
Attendance and Punctuality. Number of absences and tardiness per
evaluation will be noted against the student trainees' score.

Course Module
Personality Assessment. Appropriateness of the attire to the working
environment, good grooming, cheerfulness, and good communication skills
form part of the evaluation.
Likewise, the OJT/Practicum adviser must provide an evaluation and
numerical grade based on the following:
Submission of the required documents, including copy of the certificate of
completion. A grade of IC will be issued to the students for failure to submit
copy of the certificate of completion.
The Final Grade = 90% (grade from training institution) + 10% (grade from
OJT/ Practicum Adviser)
Copy of the Certificate of Training Completion from the training institution
will be submitted to the OJT adviser. The original copy will remain with the
student.
For OEd students who are already working, their work hours can be credited
as OJT hours. They submit the required documentation as prescribed in the
OJT / Practicum LMS classroom and provide work assignments that are
related to their program in AMAU Online Education.
Thesis / Capstone Project
Students enrolled in AMAU OEd and whose program of study requires a
thesis or capstone project must follow the guidelines and procedures below:
1. Thesis or Capstone Projects are terminal courses, and therefore, only
graduating students on their last year of attendance are allowed to
enroll in the said course. 

2. After enrolment of the course, students must report to the assigned
adviser and attend regularly scheduled class meetings as scheduled by
the adviser through the Big Blue Button Facility in the LMS. 

3. Submit the requirements of the course according to the schedule. 

4. Pay the defense fee and present/defend the completed
Thesis/capstone project as scheduled. 

Thesis A/DESPRO 1 Course Requirements and Grading System
Course Requirements Topic Proposal Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3
Thesis A / DESPRO 1 Grading System
Chapter 1 (Introduction) + exam

Chapter 2 (Review of Literature) + exam

Chapter 3 (Materials & Method) + exam

Final Grade = Chapter 1 Grade + Chapter 2 Grade + Chapter 3 Grade
A student will receive an “IC” mark for the following reasons:
1. Failure to pay financial obligations even if the required chapters 1, 2,
and 3 
were submitted. Should any of the members of the group fail to
pay outstanding financial obligations, only said member would be

given a grade upon presentation of proof payment for the outstanding

balance. 

2. Failure to submit the revised Chapters 1, 2 and 3 even if the student
has no outstanding financial obligations. The appropriate numerical
grade will be given upon submission of the revised chapters.
Guidelines for the removal of IC will be implemented. 

A student will receive a grade of 5.00 if he fails to submit Chapter 1, Chapter
2 and Chapter 3 during the designated deadlines. A student who got a failing
grade must re-enroll the course and be allowed to use the same topic/project
for not exceeding one year. After which, the student must present a new
topic/ project.
Thesis B / DESPRO 2 Course Requirements and Grading System
Only upon successful completion of THESIS A / DESPRO 1 (IC mark has been
removed) will the student be allowed to enroll THESIS B / DESPRO 2. The
student works hand-in-hand with his thesis adviser for the completion and
finalization of the approved thesis.
Course Requirements
The requirements for Thesis B / DESPRO 2 are:
Hardbound copy of the Thesis / Design Project (3 copies) Software /
Hardware / Prototype
Oral Defense
Thesis B / DESPRO 2 Grading System
A student will be given IP marks for the following reasons:
1. Failure of the student to present his/her final paper before the end of
the 
98-day period of enrollment for the term he enrolled Thesis B /
DESPRO 2 provided he/she was able to submit his/her
documentation before the 98-day period of enrollment expires. 

2. Failure of the student to submit the revised copy (hardbound) of
his/her thesis project. 

3. Failure of the student to settle his/her remaining balance with AMAU
OEd. 

Students will be given grade of 5.00 for the following reasons:
1. Failure of
the student to submit his/her final paper for the oral defense.
Capstone Project
Capstone Project refers to the final project meant to encapsulate all things
learned in the study's IT and IS program. The capstone project shall provide
the students with an experience that brings together the technical knowledge
they have acquired on "real-life" projects or applications. Students shall be
able to apply problem/project definition, project planning, design selection
and optimization, team building, communication, presentation skills,
interpersonal skills, meeting skills, and conflict resolution. Students are
encouraged to collaborate with corporations, industry, and government
clients in order for them to develop projects with real-life applications.
