Important Guidelines to LCFAITH students

1. The Course Calendar is your primary guide in this class. See to it then that you familiarize yourself well with it by regularly checking the specific dates of the week and their corresponding activities.

2. Considering the many challenges faced by students and profs during this time of pandemic, the prepared study guides and requirements are condensed to suit the online platform of education. Students are therefore highly encouraged to read / view the compact powerpoint presentations, video clips and journal articles before the scheduled conference with the professor. Except for a few embedded video clips, all the powerpoint slideshow presentations, news articles and other video clips cited in the Course Calendar ARE NOT EMBEDDED. Still, they can be watched, read or downloaded from their specified internet sites, from the File Section of our Class Canvas or from the professor’s google drive. VLC is the preferred media player since it can read almost all videos and can play subtitles.

3. Take note that the powerpoint slides are in slideshow format (ppsx). To open a powerpoint = download it in your harddrive; double-click to open it; once opened, use the right arrow (->) of your keyboard to move forward or the left arrow (<-) to go back to the previous slide. Be sure you are wearing your earphones so that you may hear the narration of each slide. The narration script of the powerpoints can also be downloaded in the same file they are located. Most of the slides have more pictures than words. It is therefore strongly recommended to read and listen to the narration while viewing the slides to understand them better.

4. The synchronous Conference with the professor is scheduled during the real-time schedule of the class and will last for around one hour. On the day before the conference, the prof will inform the class via Announcement in the class Canvas which platform will be used (google meet or zoom) and their corresponding codes. During the conference, students are advised to mute their microphones and videocams (to consume less bandwidth so as to prevent the voice of speaker from being choppy) except when they would like to ask a question and say something. The conference is a combination of kumustahan, reminders, dialogue with students in case they have questions and a little discussion on the modules. Students are expected to listen and encouraged to ask questions even via chat. If for one reason or another, a student is not able to join the conference, he or she is instructed to find time to view or listen to the recorded conference (email the prof for the code).

5. The Quizzes (2), Worksheets (2) and Movie reflections (2) comprise the biggest block in the grading system (60%) See to it therefore that you accomplish them on time as much as possible.

6. Late submissions of Worksheets and Movie reflections (via email) are allowed but a minus 10 pts from the original score will be imposed.

7. The Worksheets, Powerpoints (and corresponding narrations) and News Articles are already uploaded in the Files Section of our Class Canvas or the professor’s Google Drive. Download them in your own computer so that you can easily access them in case the wifi internet connection becomes intermittent.

8. There are no Midterm and Final exams so see to it that you do well in all the activities and requirements.

9. As a rule for all LCFAITH classes in DLSU, the FEP (I, II and III) is a MAJOR REQUIREMENT to pass the course (even though it just comprises 30% of the total grade). Failure on the part of the student to accomplish this requirement at the appointed deadline is tantamount to a FAILURE in this course.

10. Five creative projects will be chosen as the best creative projects of the class. The 5 winning projects will be announced during the last online conference with the professor on October 5. All the student creators of these best creative projects get to receive a 4.0 grade in the Final Grade.
