Each student is required to:

Doc Control Code: CPSU-F-VPAA-11 Effective Date: 09/12/2018 Page No.:15 of 20
 CENTRAL PHILIPPINES STATE UNIVERSITY
Kabankalan City, Negros Occidental

1. Each student is expected to accomplish tasks in their modules demonstrating proficiency in developing and organizing ideas aligned in critical thinking and
comprehension of the given module.
2. Submit individual activities as worksheets in the modules. Give a presentation of topics assigned to him/her.
3. Find, evaluate and use sources appropriately.
4. Work collaboratively with peers and teacher while establishing leverage and adaptation of effective revision strategies and techniques in learning the course outline.
5. Pass the module in the agreed and scheduled deadline complete with all its accomplished worksheets, activities, pre-tests and post-tests.

Class Policies
 The teacher reserves the right to send anyone out on the grounds of discourtesy to the teacher or to fellow students, misbehavior in the platform used as a
medium of learning and communication, and other valid reasons against anybody else or exploiting any individuals i.e. cyberbullying, inappropriate or violent
reactions/responses for that matter. Since this time calls for a different response, use of internet for follow-ups, clarifications, confirmations and updates is
maximized. Due to this adjustments, online etiquettes should also be observed. Discussion though limited but not impossible, deepens student learning as it is
being encouraged despite the difference of medium used.
 This course is conducted entirely by the use of module and assistive use of online and applications of digital media in viewing, creating, reading documents and
optimal use of internet or network communication. This is a self-paced course while the teacher will design a strategy to monitor the course. It lies entirely upon
the commitment of both the teacher and students to work independently and collaboratively while its primary component is giving and receiving feedbacks. In
order for this to occur effectively, all students must invest time to review and comment on each other’s work. This evaluation, reflection and collaboration is key to
the course. Students and teacher exchanges and learning takes place through online discussions either on groupchats, personal messages, SMS or emails.

NETIQUETTES
 Label posts and e-mails with relevant subject heading
 Use capital letters sparingly, THEY LOOK LIKE SHOUTING.
 Be considerate of other’s feelings and use of language carefully
 Cite quotations, references and sources.
 Use humor carefully as it’s hard to “READ” the tone of post or emails and might be a cause of misinterpretation or can be misread as a criticism or personal
attack.
 Review works before submission. Read twice before posting

TIME MANAGEMENT
 An online and modular course demands serious commitment and requires high level of responsibility, dedication and self-discipline on the part of the students. In
this course, students are responsible for their own work, progress and grades. Students should expect to spend 10-15 hours on each course module, completing,
reading and writing assignments while also a need for posting discussion responses from time to time as so to provide feedback both to teacher and peers, as
such, it is important to stay at pace with the general flow of the course to avoid delays.
