The field of language, gender, and sexuality is one of the most widely studied, and most interdisciplinary, areas of study in sociocultural
linguistics. This course draws on that interdisciplinary pedigree to provide a broad perspective and range of tools for the study of gender,

3. The audiovisual facilities should be properly situated to ensure clear presentation visible form all areas of the classroom.
1. Transparency in the grading system keeps the instructors and the students accountable and aware of where they stand. It
exudes trustworthiness, which plays a vital role in nurturing good school relations and raising students’ achievement. Hence,
this should be discussed during the class orientation.
2. To conform to Outcomes-Based Education, students’ learning would be assessed using these two criteria: Written Works
(40%) and Performance Tasks (60%). Written Works include but are not limited to quizzes, long examinations (including
Preliminary, Midterm, and Final Examinations), essays, written reports, etc. while Performance Tasks include but are not
limited to performance/products/outputs, class participation/attendance, oral reporting, demonstrations, etc.

MAJOR EXAMINATIONS (40%) CLASS STANDING (60%)


Prelim Examination Written Works (Quizzes, Long Exams, Reflection Papers)
GRADING: Midterm Examination Performance/Products/Outputs
Final Examination Oral Reporting/Demonstrations
Class Participation/Attendance

Grades will therefore be calculated as follows:


Preliminary Grade = 0.4 (Major Examination) + 0.6 (Class Standing)
Midterm Grade = 0.4 (Major Examination) + 0.6 (Class Standing)
End term Grade = 0.4 (Major Examination) + 0.6 (Class Standing)

Final Grade = (Prelim Grade + Midterm Grade + End term Grade)/3

3. A faculty member can file a grade of Incomplete (INC) only for students that have satisfactory class standing but with the
following deficiencies: (1) an excusable absence for a major examination (lack of examination) and Finals Permit; (2) failure
to submit a course requirement as indicated in the syllabus. Compliance to the mentioned course requirements should be
done by the students one year after the INC grade has been filed at the Registrar’s Office. Failure to comply within the given
period means the student has to retake the course.

Note: Class Standing includes any/all of the following:


Recitation, quizzes/test, homework, seatwork, laboratory exercises, class reports, projects, etc.
