Teaching, This course will be taught through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous modalities of
Learning, and distance teaching and learning. Synchronous sessions involve video conferencing tools and Google
Assessment applications incorporated in the learning management system of the university. On the other hand,
Strategies asynchronous sessions will be through recorded instructional videos, interactive worksheets and other
learning materials to be uploaded by the instructor in the Google Classroom. Students
will be assessed using any or combination of the objective type of examinations and reflective essay
which are administered online using the Google Classroom platform.
Maximum online participation among the enrolled students in this course is highly encouraged and
expected. Students’ level of participation in the class activities particularly in online discussion is
considered in giving grades by the instructor.
