A. GENERAL EDUCATION COURSES

Course Title Understanding the Self Credit Unit(s) 3

Course Code GE 6100 Lecture Unit(s) 3

Pre-requisite None Laboratory Unit(s) 0

Course Description

The course is intended to enable the process of exploration and thereby help students arrive at an

understanding of the concepts of personality, self and identity. The course covers topics on the

introduction of major theories of personality – its nature, development and dynamics as well as those

forces and factors that lead to the formation of a self and identity; and the provision of experiential

learning so as to ground these theories and perspectives in students’ concerns and issues relating to

their personal self and identity.

Self-discovery exercises and activities, reflection papers and personal journals will be used as the

focal point of lectures and class discussions, thereby providing the foundation and structure for all

course learnings. Other learning tools such as personality tests and measures will also be used.

Course Title Readings in Philippine History Credit Unit(s) 3



Course Description

The course aims to expose students to different facets of Philippine history through the lens of

eyewitnesses. Rather than rely on secondary material such as textbooks, which is the usual approach

in teaching Philippine history, different types of primary sources will be used – written (qualitative and

quantitative), oral, visual, audio-visual, digital – covering various aspects of Philippine life (political,

economic, social, cultural). Students are expected to analyze the selected readings contextually and in

terms of content (stated and implied). The end goal is to enable students to understand and

appreciate our rich past by deriving insights from those who were actually present at the time of the

event.

Contextual analysis considers the following: (i) the historical context of the source (time and place it

was written and the situation at the time); (ii) the author’s background, intent (to the extent discernible),

and authority on the subject; and (iii) the source’s relevance and meaning today.

Content analysis, on the other hand, applies appropriate techniques depending on the type of source

(written, oral, visual). In the process students will be asked, for example, to identify the author’s main

argument or thesis, compare points of view, identify bias, and evaluate the author’s claims based on

the evidence presented or other available evidence at the time. The course will guide the student

through their reading and analysis of the texts and require them to write reaction essays of varied

length and present their ideas in other ways (debate format, powerpoint presentation, letter to the

author of the source, etc.). The instructor may arrange the readings chronologically or thematically,

and start with the present (more familiar) and go back to the earlier periods or vice-versa.

Course Title The Contemporary World Credit Unit(s) 3



Course Description

The course aims to introduce students to the state of the world today and the new global order. The

phenomenon of globalization is examined from a variety of perspectives as well as its effects on

traditional cultures and communities, nations and political institutions, and local, national and regional

economies.

Students will be asked to identify the challenges posed by globalization and consider responses to

these challenges as demonstrated by experiences on the ground. For this purpose, students will

produce case studies of communities (in the Philippines and other countries) experiencing the impact

of globalization and their respective responses to issues that arise. There are global civil societies

engaged in advocacies relating to climate and environmental protection, for example, human

trafficking across borders, and the application of advances in science and technology to serve some of

the world’s poorest communities, and so on. There are, too, communities that have managed, in

varying degrees of success, to deal with the effects, good and bad, of globalization.

The course will focus on contemporary global conditions from a Filipino perspective primarily and also

as a member of the global community. Through a combination of readings, class discussions, writing

and group presentations, the students are expected to formulate an understanding of globalization that

is theoretically informed and rooted in the experiences of communities and nations.

Course Description

The course begins with an introduction to the nature of mathematics as an exploration of patterns (in

nature and the environment) and as an application of inductive and deductive reasoning. By exploring

these topics students are encouraged to go beyond the typical understanding of mathematics as

merely a bunch of formulas, but as a source of aesthetics in patterns of nature, for example, and a rich

language in itself (and of science) governed by logic and reasoning.

The course then proceeds to survey ways in which mathematics provides a tool for understanding and

dealing with various aspects of present day living, such as managing personal finances, making social

choices, appreciating geometric designs, understanding codes used in data transmission and security,

and dividing limited resources fairly. These aspects will provide opportunities for actually doing

mathematics in a broad range of exercises that bring out the various dimensions of mathematics as a

way of knowing and test the students’ understanding and capacity.

Course Title Purposive Communication Credit Unit(s) 3



Course Description

The five skills of communication (listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing) are studied and

simulated in advanced academic settings, such as conversing intelligently on a subject of import,

reporting on group work and/or assignments, writing and delivering a formal speech, writing minutes of

meetings and similar documents, preparing a research or technical paper, and making an audio-visual

or web-based presentation. In the process, the criteria for effective communication are discussed and

used as the basis of peer evaluation of communication exercises in the class as well as for judging

communication techniques used by public officials, educators, industry leaders, churches, and private

individuals. The purpose of these combined activities is to enable students to practice strategies of

communication with a clear purpose and audience in mind, guided by the criteria of effective

communication and appropriate language.

Course Title Art Appreciation Credit Unit(s) 3

works of art in order to appreciate their role and purpose in life. Students will be exposed to various

works of art, ranging from the classical art forms to modern art installations, performance art, indie

films, enhanced e-books, and multimedia aesthetics. These works of art will be examined from an

aesthetic point of view and also as reflections or critiques of the societies that produced them. The

course will thus build upon and hone the skill of understanding, critical appreciation, and expression of

one’s views.

Course Title Science, Technology and Society Credit Unit(s) 3



Course Description

The course is designed to enable students to appreciate, in broad terms, the societal impact of

developments in science and technology at the global and national level. This includes a review of the

history of science and technology globally – from the prehistoric era all the way to today’s advances in

sciences and technology – and similarly in the Philippines, including science policy. The historical

survey, which is grounded on an understanding of basic science concepts, will examine how these

developments have affected the course of human society: politically, economically, and socially

(including culturally).

The second part of the course focuses on current issues arising from the application of science and

technology, how such applications relate to ethical and political decisions in both the public and private

sector, and their effects (positive and negative) on society and life in general.

The course entails a variety of readings, group discussions, and research, culminating in a

presentation of findings regarding a particular issue.

Course Title Ethics Credit Unit(s) 3



Course Description

The course introduces students to the ethical dimension of human existence at various levels –

personal, societal, environmental, and cultural. The course seeks to answer questions such as, what

is ethics?. How is it framed and practiced?, and what is the value to society and the person?. The first

part lays the groundwork – the meaning of ethics – and leads students through the analysis of human

experience, linking it to elements of the ethical dimension. Part one of the course culminates in the

students’ ability to translate human experiences into ethical cases.

The second part of the course takes students through the various classical ethical frameworks –

utilitarianism, deontological ethics, virtue ethics, and natural ethics – providing them with the tools by

which to articulate and analyze the ethical cases they constructed. These frameworks also embed

sets of values that students’ ability to express their constructed ethical cases in the language and form

of particular ethical frameworks.

The last part guides students through the analysis and evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of

the various ethical frameworks and their value to human life and society. The end goal is for students

to be able to make informed decisions on their constructed ethical cases.

The course will require considerable reading, discussion and writing, as students learn about ethical

frameworks, raise questions, reflect comment upon, and evaluate the frameworks and ethical cases

they construct in class.

Course Title Living in the IT Era Credit Unit(s) 3



Course Description

This course deals with the social change and technological change by digital means contexts that shape and are shaped by them (CMO No.20, series of 2013). Information and Communication Technology is not only essential building block of a society, but currently driving behind social evolution. Digitalization comes with certain characteristics that can trigger political revolutions; create unprecedented richness as well as new dimensions of poverty; redefine our understanding of friendships, culture and entertainment; transform education, health care and business; and lead to both visions of future scenarios of global democracy and informational dictatorship. While doing this, a global perspective will be essential, as is the fact that not everybody has equal access to the digital age. Digital technology is the most powerful and also the most tangible tool we currently have available to exploit the ensuing opportunities for social change. This course tackles the big picture of the digital age and we are not afraid of asking the big questions that arise from the incredibly complex dynamic of ongoing digitalization.
