Welcome to Math Ed 4:TRIGONOMETRY . Enrolling in this course means abiding by the University
Flexible Learning policy, the Academic Integrity Policy (Honor Code) as well as the Instructor’s rules and
regulations throughout the semester.

This material will be your guide to keep you on track in finishing the course with or without internet
connectivity. Read thoroughly the schedules and instructions to avoid disarray. Developing study habits for
this course is your upper hand in completing the course. Keep in mind the deadline dates and submission
of the outputs, moreover point/s deduction will be applied for omitting and neglecting tasks up to three (3)
failures of submission.

I. COURSE INTRODUCTION

Math Ed 4: Trigonometry is a three (3) unit course for BS Education (BSEd) 2nd year students.
This course intends to enable students to achieve a thorough grasp of circular and trigonometric
functions, solutions to triangles, trigonometric identities and the polar coordinate system that will
translate into proficient application of these concepts in problem solving and readiness for higher
mathematics. Students of this course will engage in inquiry learning and problem-solving using
computer applications/software and other technological devices.
Proofs of basic theorems shall be presented in an interesting and comprehensive way that can be
read and understood by all students. The required outputs in all lessons are intended to broaden
understanding of the concepts.

V. COURSE REQUIREMENTS / ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES

There will be two forms of assessment: formative and summative. The formative assessment will be a
Self-Assessment quiz at the end of every topic/module. It is intended to support and validate the acquired
learning and in each topic; this will not be recorded or graded. On the other hand, the summative
assessment will all be graded and recorded. It will be based on:
a. Weekly activity/worksheet output
b. Contribution/participation on the forum
c. Passing score on Midterm and Final Exams

Rubrics will be used for the evaluation of your outputs whenever applicable and can be accessed on the
course site.

VI. GRADING SYSTEM

System of Computing Grades :

Attendance and Class Participation – 20%

 Bicol University Tabaco Campus
EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
Tayhi, Tabaco City

Examination (Midterm/Final Examination) – 40%

Written/Activity Outputs/Performance Tasks – 40%

Midterm Grade = Attendance and Class Participation (20%) + Midterm Examination (40%) +
Written/Activity Outputs/Performance Tasks (40%)

Tentative Final Grade = Attendance and Class Participation (20%) + Final Examination (40%) +
Written/Activity Outputs/Performance Tasks (40%)

Final Grade = Midterm grade (1/3) + [(Tentative Finals x 2) + Midterm]/3

VII. LEARNING RESOURCES

To aid your learning, resources will be provided along the duration of the course and it will be available
on the course site/LMS. However, those with poor internet connection may schedule time to connect to
university Wi-Fi and download all term materials. The learning resources are:

1. Modules

Modules will be prepared per lesson/topic and will be uploaded in the Google classroom; hard copy
will be available at the Education Department Office. Each module contains learning content
exercises and worksheets. Students are required to read and understand the modules and work on
the assigned task. Punctuality of submission of the completed task will be credited (see Course
Structure and Schedule for deadline dates)

2. Other Learning Resources

This course is not limited to the Instructor’s suggested/given learning resources. Students may use
other resources available as long as proper citation and acknowledgement are followed. Videos
and tutorials may be available on YouTube, Vlogs and other learning sites. Software such as
mobile applications with direct relevance to the course is also encouraged.

3. Additional Reading Materials

Reading materials in the form of technical or journal papers are also encouraged. Students are
required to learn how to do mathematical investigation as part of the program learning outcome.

IX. OTHER GUIDELINES/NETIQUETTE

To stimulate greater independence of learning for students as part of lifelong learning; the students
are expected to abide and cooperate with the Instructor throughout the semester. The following will be
the course policy:

1. Students enrolled in this course automatically agreed to abide by the University Flexible
Learning policy, and the Academic Integrity Policy (Honor Code). In other words, Students are
expected to be responsible and demonstrate honesty and moral behavior in any form of
academic setting. Plagiarism and cheating in any form are punishable and subjected to
disciplinary committees.

2. Any form of bullying is never acceptable. Students are prohibited to be involved or act in any
form of cyber-bullying (flaming, stalking, harassment and stalking). Academic frustration of
students can be addressed properly with the help of the Course Instructor and/or Course
Adviser. Student/s caught will face University Disciplinary Committees.
▪ Flaming: Online fights using electronic messages with angry and vulgar language.
▪ Harassment and stalking: Repeatedly sending cruel, vicious, and/or threatening
messages. Even one message could constitute cyber-bullying depending on the
circumstances. Oftentimes when this occurs instructors are unprepared to react and
where to seek support.
▪ Mobbing: This is a group of students cyber-bullying a particular instructor/professor

3. Participation in Course discussion forums are not required for Category C students. However,
the course instructor may update the students from time to time. Students under Category A
and B are expected to be respectful and polite with one another during discussion forums.

4. Students are required to update the course instructor via email, phone call or short message
service (sms). Other concerns may inform the course professor for an appointment following
the general health protocol.
