LEARNING MODALITY (75% Face-to-Face and 25% Online) STRATEGY (50% Theoretical and 50% Hands-On)
Let’s always make it a point to start on time. The class shall exercise academic independence following the 75%-25% modality, and
50%-50% strategies of instructions.
How do you effectively participate in class? There are basics from our normal face-to-face, such as sharing your experiences and
ideas and asking your peers and instructor questions. However, we all know that sometimes our participation is limited because of
slow internet connectivity (25% Online). Thus, I also welcome questions and comments through Zoom chat boxes during check-in
sessions or e-mail (kennedy.beltran@cbsua.edu.ph).
As much as possible, stay focused during our class. We will usually have up to two hours of engagement; thus, it is best if we can
maximize this time. I know a lot of learners would multitask while attending online classes, but I hope you will all give our class time
your full attention.
Always maintain respect for others. Be mindful of the use of language. Even in an online environment, follow rules of academic
integrity.
I am very particular on participation, time, and output. Engagement is highly expected and noted.
During work hours (9:00 AM to 5:00 PM), I will respond to your consultation questions, inquiries, and consultation appointments. You
can reach me via institutional email.
As for feedback, as long as you submit your output on the designated deadline, I will be able to give you generous feedback on your
work. However, I cannot promise quality feedback if it only allows me a limited time.
Late Submissions
Based on our experience in the past academic year, I will exercise full leniency on submissions. But as most graduate students
study on a part-time basis, it is recommended that you accomplish the academic requirements in a dedicated time frame. This is to
ensure you will not face difficulties towards the end of the semester. If you encounter any problems with the course deliverables,
please let me know how to help you with your work.
Plagiarism Policy
The online learning environment gives us a wealth of information. However, don’t forget to cite and make necessary attributions to
other people’s work! I have my own Turnitin to verify your submitted requirements, so please avoid plagiarizing at all costs. Plagiarism
is considered as intellectual dishonesty as per the CBSUA Code of Conduct, with the first violation warranting suspension of one (1)
semester to expulsion, and the second violation is automatic expulsion.
The online environment is expected to have many adjustments (and even discomfort), and these have been further validated based
on our experiences last semester. Let me know where you have difficulties or personal values and principles violated in this kind of
learning. Please feel free to discuss with me your learning needs. I am open to consultation if you foresee learning challenges this
semester.
Mental Health
With the uncertainty surrounding our daily lives, it is essential to take care of our mental health. I’m with you on this journey as a
person who cares. Do not hesitate to reach out to me if you are faced with mental health challenges.
A policy paper focusing on interrogating the issues concerning socially, economically, educational, legal, technological and
environmental will be the terminal output of this course. To strengthen and enrich the outputs, we will conduct a policy seminar before
the classes end. This seminar presentation will be open to the public.
The seminar will be packaged as a dialogue, where you will be able to interact with other early career researchers who are
also working on the topics you have chosen. Such activity is not meant to antagonize students (like a nerve-wracking defense, for
1. Think about the societal issue(s) that matters to you the most.
As you may have read in the syllabus, our course is grounded on the issues, theories, approaches, and perspectives that involve
those who are socially, politically, and economically relegated. You may even have read a lot about sectoral concerns in your previous
classes. Do not forget or lose those lessons—that will serve as essential inputs to the policy paper.
These issues have multiple sides, and as potential policymakers, you should know all the current debates and dialogues. We will
have our biases—but if we have to make an argument eventually, this should be grounded on reasoned judgment. Read the news,
reports, and most of all, academic literature. What are the different viewpoints of the policy?
Policy papers and presentations will be done by group, but I want everyone to think of these two things individually. Then, I will group
you depending on the topic of your choice or the career professions you are in. To have these two things get going is already a big
step towards developing the policy paper.
Good luck!
