A. GENERAL EDUCATION COURSES
Course Title Understanding the Self Credit Unit(s) 3

Course Code GE 6100 Lecture Unit(s) 3
Pre-requisite None Laboratory Unit(s) 0
Course Description
The course is intended to enable the process of exploration and thereby help students arrive at an
understanding of the concepts of personality, self and identity. The course covers topics on the
introduction of major theories of personality – its nature, development and dynamics as well as those
forces and factors that lead to the formation of a self and identity; and the provision of experiential
learning so as to ground these theories and perspectives in students’ concerns and issues relating to
their personal self and identity.
Self-discovery exercises and activities, reflection papers and personal journals will be used as the
focal point of lectures and class discussions, thereby providing the foundation and structure for all
course learnings. Other learning tools such as personality tests and measures will also be used.
Course Title Readings in Philippine History Credit Unit(s) 3

Pre-requisite Laboratory Unit(s) 0
Course Description
The course aims to expose students to different facets of Philippine history through the lens of
eyewitnesses. Rather than rely on secondary material such as textbooks, which is the usual approach
in teaching Philippine history, different types of primary sources will be used – written (qualitative and
quantitative), oral, visual, audio-visual, digital – covering various aspects of Philippine life (political,
economic, social, cultural). Students are expected to analyze the selected readings contextually and in
terms of content (stated and implied). The end goal is to enable students to understand and
appreciate our rich past by deriving insights from those who were actually present at the time of the
event.
Contextual analysis considers the following: (i) the historical context of the source (time and place it
was written and the situation at the time); (ii) the author’s background, intent (to the extent discernible),
and authority on the subject; and (iii) the source’s relevance and meaning today.

(BS Social Work)
Content analysis, on the other hand, applies appropriate techniques depending on the type of source
(written, oral, visual). In the process students will be asked, for example, to identify the author’s main
argument or thesis, compare points of view, identify bias, and evaluate the author’s claims based on
the evidence presented or other available evidence at the time. The course will guide the student
through their reading and analysis of the texts and require them to write reaction essays of varied
length and present their ideas in other ways (debate format, powerpoint presentation, letter to the
author of the source, etc.). The instructor may arrange the readings chronologically or thematically,
and start with the present (more familiar) and go back to the earlier periods or vice-versa.
Course Title The Contemporary World Credit Unit(s) 3

Course Description
The course aims to introduce students to the state of the world today and the new global order. The
phenomenon of globalization is examined from a variety of perspectives as well as its effects on
traditional cultures and communities, nations and political institutions, and local, national and regional
economies.
Students will be asked to identify the challenges posed by globalization and consider responses to
these challenges as demonstrated by experiences on the ground. For this purpose, students will
produce case studies of communities (in the Philippines and other countries) experiencing the impact
of globalization and their respective responses to issues that arise. There are global civil societies
engaged in advocacies relating to climate and environmental protection, for example, human
trafficking across borders, and the application of advances in science and technology to serve some of
the world’s poorest communities, and so on. There are, too, communities that have managed, in
varying degrees of success, to deal with the effects, good and bad, of globalization.
The course will focus on contemporary global conditions from a Filipino perspective primarily and also
as a member of the global community. Through a combination of readings, class discussions, writing
and group presentations, the students are expected to formulate an understanding of globalization that
is theoretically informed and rooted in the experiences of communities and nations.

(BS Social Work)
Course Title Mathematics in the Modern World Credit Unit(s) 3

Course Description
The course begins with an introduction to the nature of mathematics as an exploration of patterns (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 bunch of formulas, but as a source of aesthetics in patterns of nature, for example, and a rich
language in itself (and of science) governed by logic and reasoning.
The course then proceeds to survey ways in which mathematics provides a tool for understanding and
dealing with 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.
Course Title Purposive Communication 1 Credit Unit(s) 3

Course Description
The five skills of communication (listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing) are studied and
simulated in advanced academic settings, such as conversing intelligently on a subject of import,
reporting on group work and/or assignments, writing and delivering a formal speech, writing minutes of
meetings and similar documents, preparing a research or technical paper, and making an audio-visual
or web-based presentation. In the process, the criteria for effective communication are discussed and
used as the basis of peer evaluation of communication exercises in the class as well as for judging
communication techniques used by public officials, educators, industry leaders, churches, and private
individuals. The purpose of these combined activities is to enable students to practice strategies of
communication with a clear purpose and audience in mind, guided by the criteria of effective
communication and appropriate language.

(BS Social Work)
Course Title Art Appreciation Credit Unit(s) 3

Course Description
The course aims to provide students the opportunity to observe, participate in, or otherwise experience
works of art in order to appreciate their role and purpose in life. Students will be exposed to various
works of art, ranging from the classical art forms to modern art installations, performance art, indie
films, enhanced e-books, and multimedia aesthetics. These works of art will be examined from an
aesthetic point of view and also as reflections or critiques of the societies that produced them. The
course will thus build upon and hone the skill of understanding, critical appreciation, and expression of
one’s views.
Course Title Science, Technology and Society Credit Unit(s) 3

Course Description
The course is designed to enable students to appreciate, in broad terms, the societal impact of
developments in science and technology at the global and national level. This includes a review of the
history of science and technology globally – from the prehistoric era all the way to today’s advances in
sciences and technology – and similarly in the Philippines, including science policy. The historical
survey, which is grounded on an understanding of basic science concepts, will examine how these
developments have affected the course of human society: politically, economically, and socially
(including culturally).
The second part of the course focuses on current issues arising from the application of science and
technology, how such applications relate to ethical and political decisions in both the public and private
sector, and their effects (positive and negative) on society and life in general.
The course entails a variety of readings, group discussions, and research, culminating in a
presentation of findings regarding a particular issue.

(BS Social Work)
Course Title Ethics Credit Unit(s) 3

Course Description
The course introduces students to the ethical dimension of human existence at various levels –
personal, societal, environmental, and cultural. The course seeks to answer questions such as, what
is ethics?. How is it framed and practiced?, and what is the value to society and the person?. The first
part lays the groundwork – the meaning of ethics – and leads students through the analysis of human
experience, linking it to elements of the ethical dimension. Part one of the course culminates in the
students’ ability to translate human experiences into ethical cases.
The second part of the course takes students through the various classical ethical frameworks –
utilitarianism, deontological ethics, virtue ethics, and natural ethics – providing them with the tools by
which to articulate and analyze the ethical cases they constructed. These frameworks also embed
sets of values that students’ ability to express their constructed ethical cases in the language and form
of particular ethical frameworks.
The last part guides students through the analysis and evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of
the various ethical frameworks and their value to human life and society. The end goal is for students
to be able to make informed decisions on their constructed ethical cases.
The course will require considerable reading, discussion and writing, as students learn about ethical
frameworks, raise questions, reflect comment upon, and evaluate the frameworks and ethical cases
they construct in class.
