Topic 2. Course Guidelines

Introduction
You now have an idea of the coverage and what are expected from you of
this course. The next thing we need to do is to have clear-cut guidelines stipulated in
our Course Guidelines for smooth navigation of the course. Needless to say, these
guidelines aim to reduce confusions and problems that we have been expecting to
encounter in remote teaching and learning. Sail on and keep paddling.

Let’s Get Started!

Take a minute to examine the cartoon posted below. Then, answer the questions that
follow.

https://www.cartoonstock.com/directory/o/online_teaching.asp

Consider the questions below:

1. What does the image tell you? Or What is your interpretation of the image?
2. Is this your reality? Explain.
3. Is the migration from face-to-face learning to remote learning as easy as
beachin? Why? Why not?

Let’s Think About It!

1. The cartoon shows the positive side of remote learning, but what do you see
on the other side?
2. How do you think can we minimize the pitfalls of remote teaching and
learning?

Let’s Explore!
Familiarizing My Course Guidelines
So? What is a course guideline? Why is it so important for remote learning/distant
learning class?
Now, here is our Course Guidelines to help us address some concerns we might be
experiencing with remote teaching and learning. Read them from start to finish as
this will guide us for the smooth navigation of the course. Sail on and keep paddling.

This course is to be conducted both online and offline mode combined with limited or
scheduled face to face classes.

For online mode, students will participate in the course using Google's learning
management system called GOOGLE CLASSROOM (www.classroom.google.com)
coupled with social media platform namely FB classroom/group and messenger.

process. Required outputs shall be submitted through pick up mode in the same
agreed designated places.

Technology requirement for offline mode:

Limited face to face classes by batch is to be scheduled following strict health

protocols to facilitate laboratory activities that require physical set-ups.

Whether in online or offline mode of delivery each student is expected to:

Let’s Do It!
Just a Thought, Bubble it up!

What came to mind when you were studying the course guidelines? Write your
thoughts on the thought bubbles. You can add more bubbles if you have more ideas.

could not happen but on the many possibilities we can explore as we venture into
remote learning.
How much do you know about your college? Let’s explore a little more. I included
here a brief history of CPSC for you to know its humble beginnings. After reading the
history, please see yourself becoming a participant in the attainment of the vision,
mission, goals and objectives of CPSC.

Getting to Know CPSC More
 A Brief History of the Camiguin Polytechnic State College
Prior to 1995, there were two existing satellite campuses of Higher Education
institutions in Camiguin and a school of arts and trades. They were the Camiguin
College of Fisheries and Maritime Studies located at Balintawak, Mambajao,
Camiguin, a satellite of the former Don Mariano Marcos Memorial Polytechnic State
College which is now known as University of Science and Technology of Southern
Philippines located in Cagayan de Oro and the Central Mindanao University External
Studies found at Tangaro, Catarman, a satellite campus of Central Mindanao
University located in Musuan, Bukidnon and the Camiguin School of Arts and Trades
found in Balbagon, Mambajao, Camiguin. These schools catered to the needs of
students in fisheries, agriculture, secondary and post-secondary trade courses.
Finding that these courses were insufficient to answer the needs of the
Camiguingnons, then Congressman Hon. Pedro P. Romualdo, sponsored House Bill
No 11899 merging the aforementioned schools into one Polytechnic State College to
cater to the needs of the populace. Thus CPSC was created through the enactment
of RA 7923, a Republic Act Converting the three campuses into what is now Known
as Camiguin Polytechnic State College on February 25, 1995.
Pursuant to Section 26 RA 7923, a transition body was created for its
temporary governance from June 1995-August 1995. The body was composed of the
CHED Chairperson and one representative each from the following agencies: DECS,
CMU, MPSC, and CSAT. The transition body lasted for six months, after the
appointment of the College first president in August, 1995.
CPSC officially opened more doors to additional higher education programs
in 1996. Today, the college offers undergraduate programs on fields of agriculture,
teacher education, engineering and computer studies, technology, arts and
sciences . It also offers graduate programs in Public Administration and Education.
CPSC main campus is located at Balbagon, Mambajao while the annex
campus is at Tangaro, Catarman. The different programs of the college have been
accredited by the Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the
Philippines, Incorporated (AACCUP).

Vision
A vibrant, empowered and dynamic institution of higher learning which is accessible,
globally competitive, culturally and morally sensitive towards sustainable ecotourism
and natural resources development.

Mission
Provide higher professional, technical and special instructions for special purposes
and to promote research and extension services, advanced studies and progressive

Goals
CPSC strives to:
1. Expand access to higher education
2. Integrate 21st century competencies in all curricular programs
 3. Strengthen quality assurance mechanism
4. Expand government-academe-industry collaboration
5. Improve research and innovation and extension services
6. Promote excellence in all its programs

Objectives
1. To provide training in the various fields of engineering and technology,
agriculture, arts and sciences, education, marine biology and other relevant
studies
2. To equip the students with the skills, positive attitudes, self-knowledge and
expertise that would make them functional and useful members of the society
3. To cultivate in the students open-mindedness, critical thinking, appreciation of
environment, creativity, resourcefulness and industry

organizations and industry for alignment and synchronization of operations
and industries for job placements and employment opportunities of graduates.
7. To promote progressive leadership in research, extension and production
needed for the socio-economic upliftment of the province and the region
8. To provide technical and special instructions to the physically handicapped
yet deserving individuals

Introduction
Now, I have introduced you to our subject Introduction to Agroforestry through
our syllabus, set guidelines for smooth navigation of the course through the Course
Guidelines, and formally introduced CPSC to you with its brief history and its VMGO.
Don’t you think it is time for us to know each other?

Let’s Get Started!

Hunting A Friend. Go to our Facebook Classroom to see the list of those
enrolled in AF 1 Introduction to Agroforestry. From among the list, of course you
know them already since you had been classmates last year, choose someone
whom you want to know more. After you have decided as to who should be your
partner, enroll your names in pair by commenting on the discussion box (Hunting A
Friend) in our Facebook classroom;

Let’s Think About it!

stipulates reminders and guidelines which are very important as we transient from
face to face to remote learning.
Becoming akin to the college where you entrust your tertiary education and
becoming aware that you should share the same vision, and mission are the very
reason for introducing you the CPSC’s history and VMGO.

Let’s Find Out How Much You Know
