4|Page_of_24
 6.3. Course Requirements

Unlike other sciences, the laboratory in STS is the community/society itself. As such, students are
required to spread the information they will been acquiring inside the classroom to the people outside- to the
members of the community. By doing so, they will be informing the public of the latest innovations in technology
and they will also be discussing the issues about different cases brought about by development in science and
technology. In order to accomplish this, they will be required to organize mini-seminars and/or symposia where
they will be inviting audience from outside the class. These seminars will be conducted instead of the traditional oral
reporting technique.
Further, since STS targets to use science and technology to improve the quality of life of the members
of the community, students are required to conduct a case study about certain communities in the province. After
doing so, they need to come up with a simple science and technology based project/program which might be used
to help the citizens of their chosen community. Note that there must be a concrete output/product in this activity.
Other requirements include book reviews and science and technology magazines and brochures,
reflection papers and movie analyses.
In addition to these, since the students are being trained to become effective facilitators of
information and good teachers in the future, they will be required to produce individual portfolios and other projects
where they will be given a chance to check and monitor their own performance like what a teacher is doing. The
portfolio will also include student’s suggestion of how to improve the instructional experience. Further, they have to
come up with compilations of concrete examples and demonstrations of the topics in this course.
To verify whether the students have gained sufficient knowledge, summative examinations will be
given at the end of every term. Students need to get at least 50% of the perfect score to pass the tests.
For a student to pass the course, he/she must obtain a final rating of 73.6 (equivalent to 3.00, lowest
possible passing grade).

A. Term Examinations

Two term examinations will be given: the Midterm Examination and the Final Examination, which
will be a summative examination about all the topics discussed during the entire semester. Exam schedules are
normally posted on the administrative boards two weeks in advance of the examination. A student will be allowed
to take the examination by presenting his/her identification card and exam permit.
Instructors are not obliged to give a special or late test to any student who fails to take the
examination at regular time, regardless of the reason, except upon a written request approved by the Dean of the
College.
Talking during examination, possession of textbooks or notes of any kind (unless authorized), giving
or receiving information, or any other attempts at communication shall render the offender liable in accordance
with the pertinent provisions of Part V of the NEUST Handbook (Board Resolution No. 42, s.2001). Same is applied
to students who will be caught cheating or doing any similar acts.
The faculty members of the University are given the right to exempt deserving students from final
examination they are teaching but are under no obligation to grant any exam exemption.

5|Page_of_24
 B. Term Paper

For the midterm, students are required to come up with two term papers: a comprehensive book
review and an electronic science and technology magazine.
For the book review, students need to read and analyse any two of the following books of best-selling
author Dan Brown:
Digital Fortress (Information and Communications Technology issues)
Deception Point (Science and Politics)
Inferno (Population and Science Ethics)
This is to expose them to real-life issues and controversies concerning the advancement of science
and technology and how the people, especially those in power, utilize such advancement. In addition to the
contents of the books to be reviewed, students need to search and dig the library and surf the internet to find real-
life cases similar to those being depicted in the books. The format and the rules plus the rubrics for grading these
book reviews are attached herewith.

For the electronic science and technology magazine, students are required to compile several
scientific reviews and articles about recent discoveries and inventions and science and technology-related issues
and controversies. The magazine needs to have at least 10 pages. Other format-related and rules plus the rubrics
for grading the magazine are attached herewith.

For the final term, the students need to devise a simple case study-based investigatory project. The
case study must be taken first in order to assess and evaluate one of the major concern of a specific locality. From
the results of the case study, the students need to develop a simple product that will help the citizens of the target
community solve the identified problem or need. After coming up with the product, they (the students) will be
presenting them to the academic community. Attached in this syllabus are the format and the rules plus the rubrics
for grading investigatory projects.

C. Weekly activities and Portfolios

Every week, or every unit, the students have to write either a reflection of reaction paper, if not a
simple research paper about the topic or the subject being discussed. All of the write-ups should be hand-written
in a long bond paper.

Meanwhile, since the students are being trained to become effective facilitators of information and
good teachers in the future, they will be required to produce individual portfolios where they will be given a chance
to check and monitor their own performance like what a teacher is doing. The portfolio will be in electronic form
and must contain evidences that they are achieving the learning outcome for each unit. The portfolio will also
include students’ suggestion of how to improve the instructional experience. More information like the rubrics for
grading the portfolio is discussed in the attachments.

6|Page_of_24
 D. Symposiums and Seminars
Instead of the traditional oral reporting technique, the students are required to organize and conduct
symposiums and seminars in discussing the advanced and latest innovations and contemporary science and
technology-related controversies. In these seminars, students need to have at least 20 audience. The students are
allowed to seek help from other students outside the class, but they have to be the speakers which will discuss the
topics and content. The rubrics as well as other guidelines about these seminars are attached.

E. Library Hour
Anchored on the idea of student-centered education, and on research-based instruction and
learning, a one-hour library time will be given to the students in order for them to have the time to utilize and search
in the University Library to be able to look for additional inputs to their knowledge and researches. A copy of the
NEUST Library Borrower’s Card has to be submitted to the instructor at the end of the semester.

GUIDELINES AND RULES IN THE BOOK REVIEW ACTIVITY

1. The writer of the review must read and understand the entire book he/she is writing about. That’s the most
important of all the rules.
2. Each book review will have six (6) major parts:
A. The Title – The student-writer must be able to come up with a catchy title (not the title of the book) to
represent his/her work. In this part, the student-writer needs to explain briefly his/her title. Further,
he/she has to examine and explain the meaning of the title of the book he/she is writing about. This part
requires a minimum of 500 words.
B. The Summary – All of the essential events in the book must be narrated and summarized in 750 – 1000
words, 3 or more paragraphs.
C. The Background of the Book – This part deals with the question why and when the book was published.
The student-writer needs to identify the non-fictional basis of the book --- why the author has come up
with the book’s plot and theme, when was the book published, why in that year. This part requires a
minimum of 300 words.
D. The Theme – It is in this part that the student-writer has to react and reflect on the central idea and on
the controversy and/or dilemma being presented by the book. Each claim of the student-writer must
have a valid or legal supporting idea or evidences lifted from published articles and journals and other
references. A minimum of 500 words is required in this part.
E. The Related Case – This is a crucial part of the review. The student-writer has to surf the internet harder
and dig deeper into the library in order to bring to light a specific scenario/case/controversy in the past
connected to the dilemma being depicted in the book. He/she has to make a narrative on what had
happened in the case --- its origin, the people involved, what has happened to it, what actions were done.
Photographs and clippings are very important inclusions in this part. More than 500 words is required
for this part.
F. The Bibliography – Intellectual property is highly valued in the academe. The student-writer has to cite
all of the references he/she has used in order to accomplish his/her work. The following guides must be
observed.
For books – Author (year). Title of the Book. Publisher. Place of Publication. Page (if possible).
For internet sources – Author of the article (year). Title of the Article. Retrieved from URL.
Retrieved on date and time.
For magazine and newspaper articles – Author of the article. (Year). Title of the Article. Name of the
Publication. Volume and Issue No. Exact date of publication.
3. The book reviews must be computerized and typed in a short bond paper and must follow the following
format:
A. Margins - Top, Bottom, Left and Right – 1”
B. Font Style – Bookman Old Style
C. Font Size – 12
D. Line Spacing – 1.5”
E. The Header, the Footer and watermark will be provided by the instructor
F. The book review must be saved in Portable Document Format (PDF).
