 INSTRUCTIONS TO THE STUDENT

At CAP College you learn through self-instructional modules, otherwise

known as CAPsels (short for CAP College Self-Learning Series), such as the
one you are now reading. It is important that you observe the following
instructions:
1. Every subject or course has an average of five modules, each
one of which contains two to five or more lessons. You must satisfy
the work prescribed by each module before you can sit for the
final examination that will determine whether you pass or fail the
course.
2. Make an effort to do some extra reading. The titles under Suggested
Readings are neither exclusive nor conclusive. Any reference book on
the subject will do.
3. Test your own progress by performing the Self-Progress Check Tests
(SPCTs) at the end of each lesson. Read the test instructions
carefully and understand them well. Do not look at the answers
while taking the test. Keep all answer sheets for SPCTs in a
particular module and send them to CAP COLLEGE together with
the Module Test. (See no. 5 below).
4. Check your answers with the key at the end of the module.
Unless there is specific instruction on how to score your paper,
compute it by dividing the correct answers with the total number
of points and multiply the quotient by 100. Keep your scores. If
you get 70% or higher, you pass; otherwise, you have to review
the lesson and do the re-test, if any, before advancing to the next
one. Take note that in some cases, these lesson tests are
presented as Activities. Do them the same way.
5. At the end of the module, perform the Module Test. Clip the
question sheet from the module and submit them with the answer
sheet to: The Dean of Studies, CAP College, 149 Legaspi Street,
Legaspi Village, Makati City , for correction and grading. Do not forget
to enclose all accomplished SPCTs in each Module Test. (See no.
3 above). Corrected tests will be returned to you with the
corresponding grade or further instruction, if needed. While waiting,
go on to the next module and observe the same study
procedure.
6. When you have accomplished all the modules of the subjects
in which you are enrolled, you have to come to the College
to take the final tests in person. If you are in the province
or abroad, arrangements will be made for you to take them
at a pre-designated place or center nearest your residence.
