 6.0 OBE TEACHING-LEARNING STRATEGIES/ASSESSMENT METHODS

6.1 Questioning - Can be used to assess a baseline of knowledge – to find out what the students
already know about the subject. It also place the learners in the active role.
- To be done in the midst of discussion/lectures, as well as reporting and other forms
of oral examination

6.2 Problem-Based Learning - It is based on the premise that students working together in small
groups facilitated by an educator, will analyze a case, identify their own needs for information,
and then solve authentic problems like those that occur in everyday life, particularly in healthcare
settings.
- To be carried out during group activities, given a situation or a topic to solve in
written or oral presentation

6.3 Utilization of Multimedia – use of powerpoint presentations and videos during

discussions/lectures for better learning experience. This would be an effective aid during
discussions/lectures.
- To be done during case presentations, reportings

6.4 Cooperative Learning - It is based on the premise that learners work together and are
responsible not only for their own learning but also for the learning of other group members
- To be executed by conduction of group dynamics

6.5 Student Portfolio – Can be used to track down the progress of the student by means of
compiling their quizzes and other written activities on a long brown envelope as a reference
- To utilize during assessment of student performance in the subject

7.0 COURSE POLICIES

The following items are given as a guide in the conduct of the course:

 Grading System

Numerical Grade Equivalent Numerical Grade Equivalent

1.00 98-100% 2.50 80-82%

100%

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES

Scope:
The course is divided into the following topics to strengthen the student’s foundation in:

1. Introduction to Life and the Human Body

2. Cell Structures/Tissues and Glands/Integumentary System and Their Functions
3. Skeletal System/Cardiovascular System/Lymphatic System/ Respiratory System
4. Nervous System/Digestive System/Endocrine System/Genitourinary System/Reproductive
System

4
  Attendance

Prompt and regular attendance of students is required. Total unexcused absences

shall not exceed 10% of the maximum number of hours required per subject per semester.
For this subject consisting of 3 units:

5 units (3 hours lecture, 6 hours lab), 10% x 9 x 18 = 16.2 hours or 16 hours

Students exceeding the allowable maximum number of hours of absences before

midterm examination, shall be dropped (DRP) from the class roll. They shall be given a
failing grade (5.00) if such absences are incurred after the midterm exam.

 Examinations
Quizzes will be conducted before and after discussions of various topics. On the
other hand, major examinations (which will comprise 80% of the lecture proper) will be
done on the schedule set by the University, or if not applicable, on the days convenient to
both instructors and students.

 Academic Misconduct
(please refer to the Student’s Norms of Conduct)

 Dropping
Dropping from the course is the responsibility of the student. If the student stop
attending the class, he/she must submit a copy of duly signed dropping form not later than
the date set by the university registrar. Failure to comply with this requirement would mean
a grade of 5.00 in the course.

Regulations and Restrictions Inside the Classroom/Skills Laboratory

1. Cellphones and other gadgets are prohibited to use, especially during the course of class discussions.
2. Eating, drinking, and smoking is strictly not allowed.
3. Unnecessary noise must be avoided.
4. Equipments used in the skills lab must be handled with proper care and be returned to the lab technician
completely after use. Damaged equipments must be replaced as soon as possible, otherwise, would
result to holding of clearance.
5. White uniform must be worn (even during wash days) when there is a scheduled return demonstration.
6. Observing cleanliness of the assigned classroom before leaving is a must.
