COURSE INTRODUCTION
This course uses insights from Anthropology, Political Science, and Sociology to develop students’
awareness of cultural, social and political dynamics, and sensitivity to cultural diversity; provide them
with an understanding of how culture, human agency, society and politics work; and engage them in
the examination of the country’s current human development goals. At the end of the course, students
should acquire ideas about human cultures, human agency, society and politics; recognize cultural
relativism and social inclusiveness to overcome prejudices; and develop social and cultural
competence to guide their interactions with groups, communities, networks, and institutions.

GRADING SYSTEM
Your grade for Midterm and Final term will come from your written works, performance activities, and
quarterly assessment. The basic computation is as follows:
Written Work (25%) + Performance Task (50%) + Quarterly Assessment (25%) = Initial Grade (to be
transmuted) = Term Grade
In addition, your final grade will be the average of your Midterm grade and Final term grade. This will
determine whether you passed the subject or not.
(Midterm Grade + Final Term Grade) / 2 = Final Grade
