C. READING MATERIALS – For asynchronous session, the students are provided with the references
which must be downloaded and read. It is the students’ responsibility to follow the discussions
and engaged in independent learning.
D. LEARNING ACTIVITIES – This course guide is designed for students to see the road map of the
semester. During the asynchronous session, the students are encouraged to maximize the allotted

F. OUTPUTS – Make sure to submit on time the course requirements indicated in this course guide.
All submissions must be done via email only, unless the material would demand for link sharing.

G. WRITTEN EXAM – Expect that a written examination will be administered as part of the
assessment. Major examinations still get a high percentage in the grading system.

H. PROJECT AND FINAL OUTPUT – The faculty in charge may still include a project or a final output
aside from the activities to be done.

I. GRADING SYSTEM – This new mode of teaching and learning demands for a more creative and
effective assessment of students’ performance. Granted with the academic freedom, the

specific rubrics designed by the faculty in charge and must be disseminated to the students during
the orientation:
