COURSE INFORMATION
Course Title GE 4 – Mathematics in the Modern World Workload of Students
Course Description
The course then proceeds to survey ways in which mathematics provides a tool for understanding and dealing with various
aspects of present-day living, such as managing personal finances, making social choices, appreciating geometric designs,
understanding codes used in data transmission and security, and dividing limited resources fairly. These aspects will provide
opportunities for actually doing mathematics in a broad range of exercises that bring out the various dimension of mathematics
as a way of knowing, and the test the students’ understanding and capacity (CMO No. 20, series of 2013).
This course consists of 54 hours for a
semester that is divided into 3 hours
per week of hybrid instruction (onsite
and online) as appropriate;
assessment tasks, classroom and
online discussions, oral recitation,
and written exams. Students are
encouraged to participate in
scheduled synchronous sessions
and to complete assignments,
projects, quizzes and topic reporting.

CLASSROOM POLICIES
1. An online classroom is still a classroom.
2. Success in this course is dependent on the students’ active participation and engagement throughout the course. As such, students are required to complete all
deliverables and actively participate in online class discussions. If a student is unable to attend, participate in, or complete an assignment on time, it is the student’s
responsibility to inform the instructor.
3. Attendance: Students are expected to log on at least twice a week on different days to complete assignments, assessment and other weekly deliverables as directed
by the instructor and outlined in the syllabus.
4. Academic Honesty: Plagiarism and Violating the Rules of an Assignment: The program expects that students abide by the highest standards of intellectual honesty
in all academic work. Furthermore, the program assumes that all students do their own work and credit all work or thought by others.
5. Avoid using acronyms such as LOL (laugh out loud) and TTYL (talk to you later) since not all users are as familiar with these abbreviations. Spell things out to avoid
confusion and misunderstandings.
6. Courtesy goes a long way in any setting, including online school classrooms. Online courtesy would mean:
- Students should use their real names.
- Know how to raise “virtual hands” and wait to be recognized when responding to a question or comment.
- Do not forget to say “please” and “thank you.”
- Always address the teacher and other virtual school students in a respectful manner, even when disagreeing.
- Avoid using all uppercase letters; this is often considered the equivalent of shouting.

- Cameras should always be turned on and make sure the microphone is turned off.
7. Before an online session begins, eliminate environmental distractions that may divert your attention away from the class. This includes finding a conducive and
comfortable place in the house, minimizing background noise by turning off the TV and radio, turning off cell phones. (No multitasking during class!)
8. It is important that virtual school students be prepared before class! They should download any necessary software and connect and test devices like microphones
or video cameras before the lesson begins. Students should also exit other applications on their computers prior to launching the classroom software.
9. Pay close attention to the classroom discussion and activities. You may take notes on the information presented and ask relevant questions to clarify the material
covered or assignments given. Do not join sideline chats with classmates when the teacher is speaking.
10. If you’re confused or stuck on an assignment, your first instinct may be to immediately ask a question. But before you ask, take the time to try to figure it out on your
own.
11. Adhere to the file format when submitting your online work.

Student’s Acknowledgement
I have received and read the course syllabus in (Subject Code). I understand that I must comply with the requirements of the course and the expectations of
me as a student in the said course during the (Semester) (School Year) as these have been discussed also by our instructor. I am fully aware of the
consequence of non-compliance with the above-mentioned requirements.
