1. PHILOSOPHY
This course will give Information Technology students a wide - range of knowledge on discipline of
planning, organizing, securing, managing, leading, and controlling resources to achieve specific goals. A project is a
temporary endeavour with a defined beginning and end (usually time-constrained, and often constrained by funding
or deliverables), undertaken to meet unique goals and objectives, typically to bring about beneficial change or added
value. The temporary nature of projects stands in contrast with ongoing business operations.

2. AUDIENCE
This course is intended for the third year undergraduate of Bachelor of Science in Information Technology
students.

6. TEACHING-LEARNING STRATEGIES AND ASSESSMENT METHODS

Teaching and Learning Strategies
A. Active Learning. This is includes question-posing, inquiry, and self-directed learning.
B. Discussion. Discussions occur when a group assembles to communicate with one another through
speaking and listening about a topic or event of mutual interest.
C. Drill and practice. A form of independent study whereby, after the teacher explains a task, learners
practice it.
D. Hands-On Learning. Instructor provides actual presentation and simulation through laboratory in
this subject for better applications and enhancement of student skills.
E. Independent Study. This occurs when learners are assigned a common task to be completed at
their desk or as a home study assignment.
F. Lecture. Instructor will emphasize and clarify comprehensive view of the lessons. It provides a
way to communicate a large amount of information to my students.
G. Problem. A general teaching method and organization of curriculum and knowledge where
students work purposefully toward a solution, synthesis or cause. This is often called problem-
based learning.
H. Recitation. Students are given information to study independently. They then recite what they have
learned when questioned by the teacher.
I. Technology-Integrated Instruction (e.g. Laptop, LCD Projector). PowerPoint presentations to
be used will enhance and extend the learning experience of different types of learners and assess
student understanding through multiple means.
J. Project­based Learning. This is to help students solve highly complex problems for them 
to have the fundamental skills of the 21th century.
Assessment and Evaluation Methods
A. Formative and Summative Assessments. Formative assessment covers activities that generate
information on how well students are engaged in classroom interactions such as recitations and
discussions. On the other hand, summative assessment includes major examinations that describe
and measure students’ learning outcomes.
B. Performance-Based Assessment. Instructor observes and makes judgements about students’
demonstration of skills and competencies in creating a product, constructing a response and the like
in line with the criteria communicated by the instructor through rubrics and other assessment
organizers.
C. Affective Assessment. Students’ affective traits and dispositions are recorded through instructor’s
observation, student self-report, and peer ratings.

7. COURSE REQUIREMENTS
A. Major Examinations. As mandated by the university policy on giving of major examinations, the
course will provide major examinations (i.e., prelim, midterm, semi-final, and final examinations)
to measure the cognitive learning of the course. These examinations will be taken on the scheduled
examination dates. The papers will be checked, recorded, and computed as major examinations.
Examination papers will be returned to students the soonest time possible within the respective
grading period.
B. Homework / Seatwork. There will be homework, seatwork, and board work to be given in class
about some topics needing further understanding; thus, you are encouraged to do it. It will be due
at the beginning of the following lecture period unless otherwise specified. Late assignments will
not be accepted anymore.

 You are encouraged to work on the homework with groups of your classmates. The purpose
of the homework is to practice with the material and to improve your understanding. I encourage
you to learn from each other, and also to ask me when you have questions. However, the homework
that you will submit for grading must be written individually. Keep in mind that most of your grade
in this course is determined by exams, which you will have to do by yourself alone.
C. Class Participation. Active participation through prescribed and guided activities/requirements is
an utmost goal in this course. The course will delve in laboratory activities, group reports,
discussions, special readings, and summary lectures of inclusive topics for the course.

8. COURSE POLICIES
A. Refer to the University Student Handbook for the policies on Attendance, Dropping of Subject,
and Grading System and on Scholastic Delinquency.
B. Academic Misconduct. Academic misconduct will be subject to disciplinary action. Any act of
dishonesty in academic work constitutes academic misconduct. This includes plagiarism, changing
or falsifying any academic documents or materials, cheating, and giving or receiving unauthorized
aid in tests, examinations, or other assigned school works. Punishment for academic misconduct
will vary according to the seriousness of the offense. Punishment for such offenses includes
expulsion, suspension, non-credit of examination and the like.
C. Regulations and Restrictions in the Classroom
The students should be completely aware of their behavior and attitude inside the class. They
must avoid interrupting or distracting the class on any level. The following must be strictly
observed during the class.
a. The orderliness and cleanliness of the classroom must be maintained before, during and
after the class.
b. Any material or gadget irrelevant to the subject must be turned off and kept.
c. Chatting or talking with the seatmates is prohibited unless required in the classroom
activity.
d. Going in and out of the room without permission from the instructor.
e. Being excused by friends or peers from the class for any reason is not allowed except for
emergency cases concerning family problems or administrative reasons.
