GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR COURSE DELIVERY

FIRST SEMESTER- AY 2020-2021

I. CLUSTERING OF COURSES
In consideration of the number of subjects each student has enrolled for the regular
semester, general education courses will be clustered and covered in a 6-week duration
to provide learners more focus with fewer courses for each clustered week.
Professional education courses will be covered in an 18-week duration, considering that
many of these courses are new offerings under the new curriculum. This will help both
faculty and students manage the demands of the courses. The clustering ensures that
the quality of instruction will never be compromised.
The courses will be clustered as follows:

CLUSTER 1 GE Courses to be delivered from Sept 1- Oct 10, 2020 (6weeks)

GE Courses to be delivered from Oct. 12- Nov. 21, 2020
CLUSTER 2 (6weeks)
GE Courses to be delivered from Nov. 23- Jan. 16, 2020 (6
CLUSTER 3 weeks)

Prof ed courses will be delivered from Sept 1, 2020- Jan 16, 2021 (18weeks).

Some prof. Ed. Courses may be delivered in a 6-week duration completing the 54
required hours without compromising the quality of instruction, especially for board
courses.

However, courses with laboratory are best delivered for 18 weeks. 1
