1. Can I just choose Option A? – Of course, you can! But I highly expect academic scholars to
choose Option B.
2. Can I still get a perfect score if I just work the traditional way (Option A)? – yes, as long as you
write it well, and it meets the criteria contained in the MRR Rubric (see Module 1)
3. Which Option do you prefer, Sir? – Option B obviously! Hehe
4. Do I need to follow all the tips in Option B? – No, it’s always your call as the writer, but I would
be glad to see them coming through in your paper.
5. Do students who work on Option B get higher scores? – No, not at all times. But oftentimes, yes!
I read analytical papers and research carefully.
6. Is it the same set of criteria (rubric) for both options? – Yes, of course! But you are already a
step ahead of the rest if you work on Option B since it gives you an edge in terms of
contents/substance and structure.
7. Do you send any feedback in the BB after checking our papers, Sir? – Yes, especially when the
output is unacceptable/plagiarized, if not, with 20% and above SafeAssign results. I oftentimes
give an overall/general “feedforward” (not just a feedback) for everyone to do better in the next
MRR/papers.
8. Do you accuse students of plagiarism, and broadcast it? – No, I do not, and that’s utterly
unethical. I just give the student the benefit of the doubt, and send him/her a private message.
However, I ask students to rewrite and resubmit, whenever necessary. However, if the student
incurs, every now and then, high similarity results, despite my reminders, that’s the time that I
shall refer the student to the Prefect of Discipline, as per Mapua University policy.
9. Do number of pages, font size, spacing, etc. matter? – Not at all. As long as you have made a lot
of sense, then, you are good! From my end, it’s substance over form.
10. Where do I submit revised output? – After seeking approval from me, you need to upload your
Word file via DM to Gil AB Orcena’s fb account. Refrain from submitting via BB Course
Messaging and emails as I seldom open these platforms.
Should you have further questions, comments, or concerns, please send me a DM and expect a reply
@ 8:00pm-9:00pm, daily, except on Sundays and holidays. Thanks, and keep safe and well. – Sir G
