E. CLASS PARTICIPATION & ATTENDANCE
Students are expected to come to class prepared and willing to participate
in all classroom activities. A maximum of four (4) absences or tardiness are
allowed without affecting your grade. Each further absence will lower your
final grade by 5 points of your final grade percentage. It is your responsibility to
contact the instructor of your absences. Be reminded that three instances of
tardiness (15 minutes) will constitute one absence.
2
F. HOMEWORK & READINGS
You will be given a regular homework to reinforce previous lessons
discussed. As a general rule ‘no make-up work’ and ‘no late homework’ will be
accepted, including quizzes. You are also expected to do cooperative-group
activities in this class and be responsible for whatever was taken up in class
during your absence.
Attendance can significantly hamper your class
participation as well as your pace of learning in this course. You will be given
assigned short readings with comprehension questions and are due for
submission (not emailed) on dates indicated.
G. EXTRA CREDIT
A maximum of two (2) extra credits are allowed. Please note that extra
credits are “optional” and are, therefore, left to your discretion. Activities that
apply to extra credits are subject to the instructor’s approval. For each extra
credit, five (5) points will be added to the percentage score of your lowest quiz.
H. COURSE REQUIREMENTS
1. Movie Reflection Paper [Due: 12 March]
You will have a chance to view a Filipino movie with English subtitle. This
activity will allow you to hear dialogues spoken in Filipino and expose you to
some Filipino cultural values as reflected in the movie. You are required to write
a two-page in English, double-spaced reflection paper about the movie. Some
points to consider in your reflection are:
 How does the movie relate to you as a Fil-Am or as a non Fil-Am with
regards to the values and traditions the movie conveys?
 How are you able to gain a better understanding of the Filipino culture,
traditions, and values?
 Are you able to relate to some of the characters or situations in the movie
as someone with a distinct culture of your own? If you are a Filipino born
and raised in the U.S., is this movie able to provide you with a better
understanding of your Filipino heritage? How similar or different?
2. Culture Project Presentation & Oral Exams [Week 14 & 15]
Your individual culture project requires research work. You will choose a
Philippine Myth/Legend that you will develop into some kind of artistic “story
book” with complete pictures/illustrations. Part of your task is to translate the Phil.
Myth/Legend in Filipino. Also, the last page of your “story book” should include
the answers to the following questions in Filipino:
a). What’s the main idea of the myth/legend?
b). What lessons can you learn from this myth/legend?
c). What (Filipino) cultural values/insights can be gleaned from this myth/legend?
3
To assess your understanding, you will orally discuss your myth/legend with
your instructor. You should be able to answer the questions posed by your
instructor and discuss your ideas in the target language (Filipino).
3. Final Written Exam [Monday, 12 May 2014 - 8:00-10:00am - P-147]
A Written Final Exam culminates the end of the semester. Selected
chapters will be assigned for you to study. It is geared towards assessing how
much you have learned in this class.
