To my HI166 students,
I am still not feeling better. Hence, I won't meet you again tomorrow, 12-16-10 (Thursday). I will hopefully recover in time for our classes on 12-21-10 (Tuesday). Thus, the LT scheduled on that date will not push through. We will have to schedule the LT sometime in January, when classes resume after the Christmas break.
Salamat.
(P.S. I trust that you've been doing something productive during your free time. It would not hurt if you review your assigned readings.)

COURSE REQUIREMENTS
Two (2) Long Tests
The long tests cover the two parts of the course. Included in the tests are lectures given by the instructor, classroom discussions, and the readings assigned for the topic. Long tests will be given in the following dates:
21 December 2010 (Tuesday), 10 February 2011 (Thursday)
The instructor reserves the right to make changes on the dates of the said tests in case of sudden cancellation of classes. The announcement of readjustments, if needed, will be done with a sufficient amount of time before the administration of the test. Although the instructor could give a make-up exam to special cases, all students are expected to take the long test on the specified date or the date agreed in class. Those who will fail to take the test will be given a grade of 50.
Group Essay and Group Presentation
The class will be divided into six (6) groups for a major essay/presentation. The essay must be comprised of 5,000 to 7,000 words, and submitted on or before 18 February 2011 (Friday). The prescribed number of words do not included the references and bibliography. Papers that will be submitted after the deadline will be given 2 points deduction for every calendar day after the said date. Papers submitted after 21 February 2011 (Monday) will no longer be accepted by the instructor. Students are advised to consult with the instructor regarding their preferred topic starting in the middle of the semester. For suggested topics, consult the list found in the syllabus.
The group will present their research on 15 February (Tuesday) and 17 Feburary 2011 (Thursday). Groups are advised to use powerpoint presentation for their report. In each report, a specified non-reporting group will serve as reactor, and will address a question or two to the reporting group. This will also be graded.
Recipes for high marks are:
(a) Group Essay – (Capacity to analyze and weight of the argument, clarity, organization, as well as structure of argument)
(b) Group Presentation – (Creativity, clarity of the argument, as well as the reaction to another reporting group)
It is imperative that all sources of knowledge should be acknowledged and cited in the main text of the essay. Groups are required to follow parenthetical style in citing sources. An essay that contains copied information (plagiarized materials – directly lifted or paraphrased) without due recognition of the source will NOT RECEIVE ANY MARK.
Examples of citation of works with a single author:
- Unlike other histories of public health measures in the Philippines during the U.S. occupation, both the colonial state and the quasi-state organization were involved in the history of tuberculosis measures from 1911 to 1918 (Moralina 2009, 179).
- According to Moralina (2009, 179), both the colonial state and the quasi-state organization were involved in the tuberculosis campaign of the American Philippines from 1911 to 1918.
Whereby “Moralina” is the author’s surname, “2009” is the date of publication, and “179” is the page number.
Example of a citation of work with multiple authors:
- Public health of 20th century Philippines should be considered as a colonial legacy of the United States in the Philippines, and not as a system of applied knowledge detached from the politics of colonization (Anderson 2007; De Bevoise 2002; Ileto 1997).
A semi-colon is used to separate the surnames of the authors, which are arranged alphabetically within the parenthesis.
For citations and format of bibliography, consult the Philippine Studies Style Guide (2008). Students may also refer to the 15th edition of The Chicago Manual of Style, the basis of the said style guide.
Four (4) Quizzes/ Reaction Papers
Quizzes could be administered at any given time during the class, covering the assigned readings for that particular lecture day. No make-up exam will be given for any reason. Those who will fail to take the quiz will be given a grade of 5.
A reaction paper could replace the lowest quiz. Students will only be asked to submit a reaction paper if any of the following will be available: related plays, exhibits, talks, films, or field trips. Similar to the group essay, students are also expected to follow proper citation and bibliography in their reaction papers.
Class Participation
Students are expected to do the assigned readings and participate in the discussions. Although students will be given their class participation grades at the end of the semester, graded recitations could be held by the instructor at any given time during the lecture day.
CLASSROOM REGULATIONS
The whole class will agree which of the following regulation would be implemented:
- Attendance will be recorded. Anyone who exceeds the allowed number of cuts—six (6), as per university rules—will receive a grade of W (withdrawal without permission).
- Anyone who fails to be present in the classroom at the moment when the attendance is being recorded will be given one (1) cut. It is a student’s duty to inform the instructor of his/her attendance so that the record will be changed into a tardiness, which is only 1/3 of a cut. If a student fails to do this, the recorded cut will be retained.
- Students must attend the class he/she is enrolled in.
- All forms of cheating are STRICTLY prohibited. A student who is caught doing anything suspicious while taking the exams (e.g., looks at a seatmate’s paper, consults a codigo or any material, signals answers to a seatmate, etc.) will get a first warning. If such action is repeated, the instructor will confiscate the paper of the student. It will be assumed that the student has cheated, and no mark (zero) will be given for that exam.
- Anyone whose paper is confiscated twice during the semester will be automatically given a failing mark (F) for the course and will be penalized according to university regulations.
- As per university regulations, the following is prohibited in the classroom: littering, smoking, disturbing the class by making excessive noise, use of cellphone (i.e., text or call) when the class starts. Students may leave the classroom for the toilet breaks, or if he/she needs to use the cellphone, as long as he/she does not disturb the class.
