Class rules:
During this pandemic, we have to strictly observe the no “face-to-face” policy. Thus, we have to practice the following:
1. Be prepared in attending the class by having an advance reading on the topic to be discussed.
2. Properly submit outputs online by following the course facilitator’s instruction like naming of file assignment, format and reading the
instructions carefully before submitting.
3. Group chats will be for the announcements, uploading of modules, reminders and updates only.
Pick up modules
a. Must be in the group chat for announcements and updates.
b. Properly submit outputs by following the course facilitator’s instruction like naming of file assignment, format and reading the
instructions carefully before submitting.
b. The activity outputs and assessment tasks should be submitted and returned by the parents/guardian on the schedule date
c. Pick up of modules will be done simultaneously with the online uploading
d. A schedule for oral recitation will be agreed for a video or voice call.
e. For long term examinations, it must be taken online.
XIV. Consultation: The students are encouraged to regularly seek advice to the course facilitator based on the consultation time of the faculty.
XV. Remarks: This syllabus is flexible and may include additional topics and activities deemed necessary by the faculty.
