INTRODUCTION TO HUMANITIES
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
An introductory course in Humanities on the creative output of man designed to introduce and
expose the students to the different arts both in theory and practice: visual, auditory, and
performing arts. It also aims to develop the students’ inner life, increase their awareness of and
sensitivity to the state of Philippine arts and culture. This course is also aimed at realizing the
students’ capacities to perceive, understand, and appreciate works of arts through a critical
analysis of the different elements, mediums and techniques.
LEARNING PLAN:
Given the above learning outcomes, determine the content to be covered. Consider distributing
the content into learning units which in turn cover certain topics. A unit may consist of one or
more topics. For example, a unit may have two topics while another may have three topics. Units
allow for in depth inquiry for related topics or enable the practice of a particular concept or skill
in varied contexts. Similarly, a topic need not be covered on a weekly basis. For every unit or
topic, indicate the key understanding that students need to develop. In the last column, write the
learning activities that students will engage in for the development of the key understanding.

format which means STATE (YOUR THESIS), EXPLAIN (YOUR ARGUMENTS), AND
EXAMPLES. You can also consider objections against the topics. However avoid plagiarism,
aware or unaware, at all times. But what constitutes plagiarism? For your information, you may
