s) Develop an enhanced perception of the vitality and importance of mathematics in the modern world including inter-relationships within
math and its connection to other disciplines.
t) Appreciate the concept and role of proof and reasoning and demonstrate knowledge in reading and writing
mathematical proofs.
u) Make and evaluate mathematical conjectures and arguments and validate their own mathematical thinking.
v) Communicate mathematical ideas orally and in writing using clear and precise language.
w) Acquire and use knowledge and skills from other disciplines such as education, finance and statistics to deliver and
apply mathematical knowledge and content effectively.
Flexible Learning Options (FLO) Class Policies:
Flexible learning option is a learning approach, which combines the face-to-face (physical classes) and the use of other learning alternatives (online or distant learning)
in the delivery of lectures or sharing of knowledge to students. For online learning, there is still a lot of internet connectivity issues faced by students. Hence, the faculty has the
discretion to make their own policies on
a. checking of attendance
b. grading class participation
c. on deadlines for assignments/exercises/problem sets
d. on deadlines for quizzes/exams.
2. Be Scholarly
Check spelling and observe proper format before submitting your works or tasks.
Use reputable references in your study and requirements.
Avoid plagiarism or cheating in any forms.
3. Be Mindful
Use legitimate account that reflects your real name.
Wear decent and modest attire, and select a less distractible place for virtual meetings.
Avoid invading the privacy of your instructors by making unnecessary calls, messages or requests in their personal time (consultation hours is from 8AM to 5PM or daytime or
instructor’s discretion) and space.
4. Be Responsible
Comply tasks, activities, and requirements on time.
Update yourself about relevant information through reliable sources only.
Follow guidelines, rules and policies in the class and of the university.
