Teaching and Learning and Assessment Methods TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODS 1. Lecture-Discussion. Students are required to attend the sessions regularly. Active participation of the students during the discussion is expected. Learning is an active process, and as such, students must engage with the course materials, i.e. reading the textbook and other assigned advanced readings. 2. Problem-solving. After each topic, sample problems are analyzed and solved in the class applying the principles discussed. 3. Group Activity. Students are provided with seatwork problems. To develop teamwork, they are sometimes divided into groups with at least three (3) members to work together in solving particular engineering problems, discuss the algorithm of the problems and present the solution on the board. 4. Laboratory Experiments. During laboratory hours, students are given experiments to work in groups where they can apply the theories and principles learned. This is an opportunity for hands-on experience; thus, maximizing their learning through actual simulation. 41
Assessment Methods Quizzes. Homeworks. A minimum of two (2) quizzes Assignment questions are are administered for each provided so that students have period (prelim, midterm, semi- the opportunity to use the final and final).Topics discussed information provided in the during the period are included lectures and textbooks and to in the quiz. This enables the test students’ degree of students to develop self- understanding on the discussed confidence, accuracy and topics. readiness for the major exams. 42
Problem Laboratory Sets. Experiment Reports. For every experiment conducted, students must submit the experiment reports containing the objective of the Working on assigned experiment, materials, and problems is one way to gain detailed understanding of methods used, discussion of the theories/principles the topics preparing the used, discussion and students to pass the examinations. Regular interpretation of the results of the experiments, problem sets are solved and conclusions, and are submitted before the schedule of every major recommendations. The report may also include exam. related references if As University necessary. The conduct of laboratory experiments undergraduate students, it serves as an opportunity for is imperative for them to avoid plagiarism or the students to have training in preparing cheating and maintain technical reports which are academic integrity. While they are encouraged to vital in their design project. discuss the problem sets with their classmates, they must do the exercises on their own. Copying someone else’s work is Major unacceptable. Exams. There are four (4) major exams, i.e. prelim, midterm, semi-final and final. Most exams are in- class exams, closed book, and closed notes. 43
