VISION, MISSION STATEMENT, INSTITUTIONAL GOALS AND INSTITUTIONAL OBJECTIVES (V-M-G-O)

Vision
John Paul College, founded in 1998, envisions itself as the center of learning and academic excellence in the Province of Oriental Mindoro. It is inspired by the ideals of John Paul II on self-giving, social justice,
love of nature and intellectual toughness as it pursues the formation of a holistic individual living up to the standards of Christian faith.

Mission Statement
John Paul College shall be a leading academic center particularly in Southern Mindoro. It ‘shall provide the essentials for quality education through competent human resource, responsive to the needs of the
community, attuned to technological advancements and promoting cooperation with other institutions.

Conforming to its academic mission, John Paul College will create righteous, self-reliant, ecologically sensible and fully competitive graduates. It shall advocate innovations and modernism while protecting
Mindoro’s indigenous cultural heritage through progressive research and dedicated community service.

Philosophy of Education
John Paul College, as an educational institution, is inspired by the teachings and philosophy of St. John Paul II relative to education through the following precepts:

“The future starts today, not tomorrow.” Thus, exhorting students to put their goals into action today without any excuses. They must learn not to wait until tomorrow to start what they can do now.

Education is explored by giving importance to the person, the action, community, solidarity and participation. Thus, anchoring in an educational philosophy which is more person-centered by recognizing the need
to be conscious of the personal experience of each student.

An education which recognizes that faith and reason are both essential for students to grow in knowledge and wisdom. Thus, believing that to grow in relationship with God is achieved by loving knowledge,
striving for virtue, and caring for others.

Institutional Goals
 To create a school environment conducive to quality learning.
 To offer and provide education which is responsive to the needs of the community, attuned to technological advancements and changing global conditions.
 To integrate its core values in human relations ensuring adherence to the ideals of St. John Paul II.
 To live up with its commitment as the local communities’ partner for their transformation and improvement towards a better quality of life.
 To ensure and maintain its good image to be able to effectively encourage others to assimilate to JPC ideals, principles and values.

Course Description:
This course deals with nature of mathematics, appreciation of its practical, intellectual, and aesthetic dimensions and application of mathematical tools in daily life.

The course begins with an introduction to the nature of mathematics as an expiration of patters (in nature and the environment) and as an application of inductive and deductive reasoning. By exploring these
topics, students are encouraged to go beyond the typical understanding of mathematics as merely a set of formulas but as a source of aesthetics in patterns of nature, for example, and a rich language itself (and
of science} governed by log and reasoning.

The course then proceeds to surveys ways in which mathematics provides a tool for understanding and dealing various aspects of present - day living, such as managing personal finances, making social choices,
appreciating geometric designs, understanding codes used in data transmission and security and dividing limited resources fairly. These aspects will provide opportunities for actually doing mathematics in a broad
range of exercises that bring out the various dimensions of mathematics as a way of knowing and test the students’ understanding and capacity. (CMO No. 74, series of 2017}

1. Quizzes
Compound
At the end of every chapter, Blended quiz will be administered asynchronously, Meaning, it will be administered in the same date and time as prescribed. Schedule for the Asynchronous quizzes is
reflected in the Schedule of Activities for your guidance. These examinations will test all of the learning concepts based on the forums, course materials and assigned readings.
2. Course Forums
There will be Course Forums all throughout the course. Thus, you are encouraged to participate in all the forums and give your reflection at the end of every topic discussed in Module/Courseware/Blended.
The Scoring Guide for Participation in Online Discussion is included as an attachment in the schedule of Activities. You are also encouraged to cite references as support to your responses in the discussion forums.
You can refer to the following site for the APA Format.
3. Output
There will be 10 outputs in this course which will be done individually. Detailed guide about outputs will be provided as presented in the schedule of activities. Therefore, each student should do these
tasks with dedication and sincerity
4. Semestral Grading period
A. Prelim – 1-6 Weeks (30%)
B. Midterm – 7-12 Weeks (30%)
C. Final – 13-18 Weeks (40%)
Examination will be administered. As mentioned this exam will be administered and given at the same time to all learners. This included the topic that was covered by week as presented below.
Questions will be coming from the course forum discussions, course reading and other course materials provided by the professor.

Course Grading System

Semestral Grading System:
Prelim Grade………………………………………………………….…….30%

Course Grading System

Students Assessment:

Major Examination……………………………………………………….40%

Other Requirements…………………………………………………….60%

Step 1. — Raw scores will be converted to % using the formula:

RS (50)
Grade = +50 = n (100%)
HPS

Step 2. The Final Term Grade (FTG) will be determined by adding all the equivalent percentage of the four course requirements
