1. COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course will help you with the study of Navigational Deck watch keeping such as,
maintaining a safe navigational watch which is deemed to provide the depth of knowledge required
by the standards of Competence in Table A-11/1(Chapter VIII) the Regulation VIII/2 Par.1 and 2 of
the STCW Code as amended.

This course will also help you gain a detailed and comprehensive understanding about
the theory and principle involved in deck watch keeping at sea and in port which sometimes
involved carrying hazardous cargo, minimum health standards to be met before assuming
duties, watch keeping under different conditions and areas, utilization of equipment as an aid
to watch keepers in keeping a safe navigation, bridge resource management, ship reporting
system and with VTS procedure, etc.
To ensure safety at sea, the best that science can devise and that merchant ship
organization can provide must be regarded only as an aid, and never as a substitute for good
seamanship, self-reliance, and sense of ultimate responsibility which are the first requisites in
seafaring.
2. COURSE INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES:
At the end of the course, you should be able to:
Demonstrate knowledge, understanding, and proficiency in:
Fitness for Duty;
Watch keeping at sea;
Watch keeping under different conditions and in different areas;
Steering control;
Principles to be observed in keeping a navigational watch;
General principles for ships reporting system and with VTS procedure;
Keeping an effective deck watch in port under normal circumstances;
Keeping a safe deck watch in port when carrying hazardous cargo;
Bridge resource management;
Speed measurement speed log;
Operational use of AIS (see IMO Model course No. 1.34);
Knowledge of blind pilotage techniques;
The use of routing in accordance with the general principles for ship reporting system and
with VTS procedures

3. METHOD OF INSTRUCTION
This course will be delivered in a Flexible Learning Mode, mainly through Asynchronous (Self-Paced)
Learning and Synchronous Physical (Face to Face) and/or Online Instructions. The JBLFMU Learning
Management System (LMS) will principally be anchored on ZOOM for virtual (online) classes.

For online instructions, you will use your JBLFMU Student Account Username and Password to login to the
course from the jblfmu.mrooms.net Login Page. If you have not activated your JBLFMU Student account,
please visit the IT to do so.

Learning activities will consist of chat, blogs, discussion forums, email, web posting, and face to face
interaction. You will need access to the Internet to download course materials, access linked video, power
points and other instructional materials on YouTube and other designated internet channels. While an
android phone or tablet is adequate, a personal computer or laptop is recommended but not necessary.

4. ANTICIPATED SCHEDULE

The Course is divided into three (3) modules – prelim, midterm and finals. Eighteen weeks (usually
composed of 5hrs/week, for a total of 90 hours) is dedicated for a 3-unit course per semester.
This Course will be delivered on an alternating schedule;
A) Physical (face to face) classroom or Virtual (online through) Zoom; and
B) Self-paced but with fixed dates for required ACTIVITIES and PERIODIC EXAMINATIONS. The final
examination and date of submission of all requirements shall be the designated last day of the 1st
Semester SY 2020 – 2021.

6. POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

Classroom and Virtual Class Attendance and Participation:

This Course is on Flexible Learning Mode with self-paced learning and synchronous virtual/online classes;
as well as physical classes if and when feasible; and therefore is not dependent on counted attendance.
Nevertheless, you must participate actively in the virtual or physical classes and submit all required
outputs on or before the due dates.

Discipline:

You shall comply with the rules, regulations and instructions set by the school authorities

Academic Honesty and Authentication:

Policy on Cheating

Honesty and integrity in the conduct and taking of examination is strictly adhered to. As such, policies on
and consequences of cheating are discussed as part of the class orientation and classroom guidelines at
the start of every semester.
All cases of cheating shall be reported to the Dean of College being the Head of the Cheating mediation
committee.
For classroom/formative tests, the course instructor reports the cheating incident to the Dean, who will
then call the erring student for investigation. If the instructor and the student agree on the sanction in the
presence of the Dean, their agreement shall be documented and carried out. However, if they could not
settle amicably, the case shall be referred to the Mediation Committee for deliberation.
For cheating during periodic/summative examination, the incident shall be reported by the proctor using
the Cheating Incident Report Form, in which the case shall be directly referred to the Mediation
Committee. For cheating incidents to be deliberated by the Mediation Committee, the parents/guardian of
the erring students are informed accordingly and invited during the deliberation.
Results of the committee deliberation shall be documented and shall form part of the students’ record.

Mediation Committee on Cheating Incidents

Chairman – Dean of the College
Co – Chair – SAS Head
Members – Program Head/Course Area Head
- Head of Discipline
- Course Instructor
- Examination Proctor
- President, Student Executive Council
Gadget Policy:
The use of your cell phones, tablets or other similar electronic/communication gadgets are basic
requirements for the study of this Course. It is highly advised that these phones and tablets are kept free
from other apps which may distract the student’s attention and which may slow down the gadget’s
performance.

Course Work:

Your outputs shall be accomplished as specified by the herein assigned Instructor, and must be submitted
on time and in the formats specified.

Academic Consultation:

You can avail of an academic assistance of the academic counselling and other mentoring programs.
Referral system is through your request through the Instructor’s referral through the Student Affairs
Services (SAS) office.

7. Technical Assistance

If you need technical assistance at any time during the course or to report a problem with the JBLFMU
LMS, or with ZOOM, or with any appurtenant technology for the study of this Course, you can:
 Chat with a JBLFMU e learning Technical Support Staff (https://web.facebook.com/messages/....)
