Course Requirements
These are the main course requirements in our class: exams, class participation, actual sewing of
mass produced products. There are two types of exams: chapter tests and term examinations. The chapter
tests are submitted at the end of a given chapter.
Reflection Papers per chapter shall be submitted on a specified date. In assessing and evaluating
your reflection paper, a GRADING RUBRIC for REFLECTION PAPER shall be used. The format and
template of the reflection paper will be sent via google classroom. The term examinations are the
midterm and final exams.

Grading System
Your grades will be computed as follows:
Midterm Grade = Requirement (30%) + Midterm Exam (30%) + Class Participation (30%) + Work
Ethics (10%) = TOTAL 100%
Tentative Final Grade = Requirements (30%) + Midterm Exam (30%) Final Exam (30%) + Class
Participation (30%) + Work Ethics (10%)
Final Grade = Midterm Grade (33.33%) + Tentative Final Grade (66.67%)

The midterm, and final exams are a combination of objective type and essay tests. You are
technical vocational teacher education majors, so I expect that you can write at least good arguments and
discourses. This will characterize your being a good communicator. In essay type tests, you shall be
graded by assessing your outputs’ content (50 percent), as well as form and mechanics (50 percent). This
means that half of the grade will be based on your answer to the question. The other half shall be based on
your grammar, spelling, sentence construction, use of punctuations, and adherence to the principles of
good writing.

Fifty percent will be based on your answer to the discussion question and the quality of your
response to classmates’ comments. The other 50 percent—again—shall be based on your grammar,
spelling, sentence construction, use of punctuations, and adherence to the principles of good writing.

Learning Resource
Our main learning material is the learning notes/sheets for this course. It is divided into lessons
corresponding to the learning contents specified in our syllabus. A PDF version will be provided to those
with no Internet access and those who shall request for it.

You should not rely solely on the worksheets, though. You are encouraged to read more on the
lessons using other materials that you can find online or offline. There is no such thing as a complete
learning resource, so our worksheets may miss out on some things.

Below are the sources that I consulted for reference. You may want to read them for a deeper

Course Policies
The policies listed below may change throughout the semester, depending on the country’s health
situation and other concerns. You are responsible for learning about these changes. Announcements shall
be posted on the official group chat and on the Google classroom.

ETHICAL POLICIES
You are expected to act with decorum in communicating with me and your classmates, either one-on-one
or in the discussion boards. Proper netiquette is expected. For more information, see 10 Netiquette
Guidelines Online Students Need to Know

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY

Since we are holding classes in the distance mode, I have no way of knowing if it’s really you taking the
exams or posting on the discussion boards. Please just be honest. Also, plagiarism shall not be tolerated.
Students caught submitting papers copied from others and presenting them as their own shall be given a
failing grade. For more information, see: What is Plagiarism?

POLICIES ON ABSENCES AND TARDINESS

As we are currently using the distance mode of education, there are no physical classes unless the
university administration finds it safe already to have classroom lectures. For the meantime, we shall
study asynchronously so attendance will not be taken. However, there shall be point deductions for tardy
submissions of requirements.

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION
Given the nature of our course, the language of instruction is English. Filipino may be used with the
permission of the teacher from time to time. Bikol is discouraged because students come from various
provinces with different dialects.

USE OF THE LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The class shall use the Google classrooms I created. For security purposes, only those with BU email
accounts will be allowed to enter the virtual classrooms. Thus, never forget your BU account.

USE OF MOBILE PHONES AND GADGETS

Since we are using the distance mode of learning, you are expected to have the necessary gadgets to
access course materials. If you have problems accessing the course site, inform me immediately through
my contact points shown at the end of this course guide.

SPECIAL EXAMINATIONS
Special exams will be given on a case-to-case basis. Inform me if you cannot submit the requirements on
time.

ACCOMMODATION
Since the entire world is dealing with a pandemic, accommodation shall be extended to those who may
not be able to access the course site regularly or submit requirements on time. Students should contact me
for specific concerns that may affect their academic performance.

STATEMENT ON STUDENT WELLNESS

Student wellness shall be our utmost priority. If a course requirement will impact your health, inform me
immediately.

ADVISING AND SUPPORT

You may contact me anytime for advising and support. The use of email is recommended, but students
without Internet connection may call or send text messages. I will strive to reply to concerns promptly,
but there may be instances when replies may take some time. This can happen when queries are sent in
the middle of the night or during weekends.
