TEACHING PHILOSOPHY AND INSTRUCTIONAL METHODS  
 
A learner-centered approach shall be used. Students are expected to actively participate in
learning, through Project-based learning (PBL), Cooperative Learning (CL) and Inquiry Based
Learning (IBL). In this approach, learners create knowledge and understanding through learning
activities built around intellectual inquiry and a high degree of engagement with meaningful
tasks. Cooperative learning is a specific kind of collaborative learning. In cooperative learning,
learners work together in small teams on a structured activity. They are individually accountable
for their work, and the work of the group as a whole is also assessed

Charisma University is committed to maintaining and upholding intellectual integrity. All
students, faculty, and staff have obligations to prevent violations of academic integrity and take
corrective action when they occur. The adjudication process will include the sanction imposed on
students who commit the following academic violations, which may include a failing grade on
the assignment, a failing grade for the course, suspension, or dismissal from the University:

1.Plagiarism: 
The appropriation, theft, purchase or obtaining by any means another’s work, and the
unacknowledged submission or incorporation of that work as one’s own offered for credit.
Appropriation includes the quoting or paraphrasing of another’s work without giving credit
therefore presenting as one’s own the ideas, words, or products of another. All papers submitted
for grading for your course can be checked using websites such as www.safeassign.com/

a. Submitting another person's work
b. Writing a paper for someone else
c. Working in a group effort without faculty consent
d. Buying a paper from a research service
e. Getting outside help or giving outside help without a teacher's expressed permission
f. Submitting the same work for credit without approval (e.g. submitting the same
assignment twice for different courses)
