Teaching methods / strategies:

 

The course is delivered mostly through learner-centered methodology with emphasis on individual and collaborative activities where teachers prepare the environment for learning and guide the learners to develop the important competencies. These methods are geared towards the belief that students learn best and retain much of the learning in an atmosphere where they are allowed to apply their creativeness and self expression.

 

Requirements / Deliverables:

 

Individual Activity and Collaborative Work will require any of the following deliverables for a given topic.

1. Preparation and Participation in Lectures / Discussions

2. Prepared Multimedia Aided Presentations

3. Brainstorming / Group Dynamics / Reporting Output

4. Research Output / Compiled Materials

5. Case Analysis

6. Role Playing or Simulation performance and reaction

7. Exercises and Application Output

8. Reflections

9. Final Project

 

Plagiarism Policy :

 

Using the oral or written words and ideas of others without proper acknowledgment is plagiarism and is an academic offence. As a form of academic misconduct, students found guilty face serious consequences as stipulated in the Student’s Handbook.

 

Submission Policy :

 

To promote professionalism and competence, submission of requirements and deliverables must always be on time. The teacher reserves the right NOT to accept late submissions and will rate the requirement as failed or zero. In case the teacher decides to accept late requirement due to valid reasons, the teacher will impose point deductions on the score obtained or deduct 10% of the total score per day of delay. Students must present a letter from their parent or legal guardian appealing for the teacher to accept the late requirement. Valid proof must be attached to the letter of appeal.

 

Assessment / Evaluation

 

To asses the performance and competencies of the learners…

1. Quizzes and Exams will be administered to determine if the learners can remember basic information

2. Brainstorming, group discussions and reporting will help determine if the learners can understand ideas or concepts gathered

3. Exercises will be given to determine if learners can apply the information in another familiar situation

4. Cases and Researches will be required to determine if learners can analyze and explore understandings and relationships

5. Project Proposals will be required to determine if learners can evaluate and justify their decisions or course of action

6. Final Project and Presentation will be scheduled to confirm if learners can create I.T. solutions and designs for business problems or opportunities

7. Rubrics will be used to assess Authentic Learning Activities

Quiz & Exam Policy :

 

Students must attend all required scheduled quizzes and exams at the designated time and place. Individual professors may accommodate for illness or personal crisis. Additional accommodation will not be made unless a written request is sent to and approved by the Chairperson or Dean prior to the scheduled exam or as prescribed by the student manual. Any student who misses a scheduled quiz or exam without approval will be given a failing grade for the quiz or exam. Behaviour during exams is expected to conform to College guidelines. No further warnings will be given prior or during the exams, the penalty for cheating is immediate failure.

 

Grading System:

Final Grade Computation
Individual Grades
	Long Quizzes	20%
	Class Activities (Exercises, Short Quizzes, Recitation, Reporting, Role Playing or Simulation)	15%
	Researches, Assignments and Reflections	10%
	Final Exam	10%
	Values	5%
	Attendance (Refer to the Student Handbook for guidelines)	5%
Group: Case Analysis		15%
Final Project ( Individual: Oral Presentation = 40% + Group: Documentation = 60% )		20%
Total		100%

NOTE: Midterm Grade will be computed based on class standing at the time of grades submission.
