6. Course Requirements / Assessment Activities

The assessment that will be used in this course is categorized into four: summative test,
written output, midterm exam and proposal defense. The summative tests will be given at the end of
each chapter. Written output/concept paper will also be asked in each chapter. The proposal defense
is the highlight of this course where students will face a panel of evaluators to defend their research
proposal.
 You will be working by group of 3 and after each discussion, you will focus on
writeshop/output making and submit your output to your research professor or research adviser.
The appropriate forms for the proposal defense will be sent via google classroom. You are highly
encouraged to submit your activities, tasks, modules via google classroom or face-t0-face for easy
checking.

Rubrics will also be used for the evaluation of outputs.

In this course Research in Teaching I your course performance will be evaluated based on
the following criteria:

SYSTEM OF COMPUTING GRADES:

Midterm/Proposal Defense 40%

Summative Tests/Class participation 25%
Concept Paper/Output per chapter 35%
Total 100%

Final Grade = 1/2 (Midterm Grade) + 1/2 (Proposal Defense)

*For the Proposal Defense 70% of the grade will come from the Research professor while 30% from the panel
of evaluators

10. Other Guidelines/Netiquette
As we start, I just would like to share some guidelines that we have to observe here as we
learn together:

Ethical Policies: The students are expected to practice honesty, diligence, kindness,
tactfulness, politeness, and all human virtues. In our group chat, they should be cautious of your
words. Topics not related in the subject must not be discussed in the groupchat..

Academic Integrity Policy: Plagiarism shall not be tolerated. Students caught/found

submitting papers copied from others without proper citation and presenting them as their own shall
be given a failing grade of 5.0.

Policies on Absences and Tardiness: Students are encouraged to attend

online/synchronous sessions for better understanding of the topics. If they are experiencing unstable
internet connectivity, they can make use of the FB group chat/messenger to submit their outputs.

Language of Instruction: The language of instruction is English and Filipino both for the oral
and written output.

Use of the Learning Management System: If the BU-LMS cannot be accessed, a google
classroom, BU email, and fb messenger will also be used to send and submit the module or other
reading materials.

Use of Mobile Phones and Gadgets: The use of mobile phones or laptop is a must for the
students to download the readings or articles sent by the teacher. Should a student does not have
the necessary gadget to download the reading material, he may seek help from his classmates to
download the module for him.

Special/Make-Up Quiz/Examinations/Work: Students should take the examinations on the

scheduled dates. Failure to take the examinations without valid reasons would mean 5.0. No special
examinations will be given except for justifiable reasons such as health and other emergencies.
Failure to inform the teacher within 2 days after the examinations would mean 5.0 in the exam.

Dress and Grooming Codes: Should there be a synchronous meeting via zoom or google
meet, the students are encouraged to wear BU uniform or any appropriate attire for that matter.
Students are expected to dress appropriately even if classes are being done at home. Wearing of
BU uniform with black leather shoes (for gentlemen) and black leather shoes with heels (for
ladies), is enforced especially during face- to -face classes. Further, during face-to-face classes, the
male students should wear plain white tshirt inside their polo.

Online: Tuesday 4:30-6:30 PM thru call, text, or chat.

Onsite (Face-to-face) consultation is by appointment basis, please set an appointment at

implemented.
