COURSE REQUIREMENTS:

Class standing requirements (learning tasks, assignments, quizzes and recitations) – Learning task shall be given at every start of a new topic and will be
submitted after the topic is introduced and explained. Assignments are to be solved through team effort to maximize peer tutoring and cooperative learning. Outputs are
collected at the beginning of the next class session. Students will be required to do oral presentation of assignment solutions or any special topics. Individual contribution
to group work will be rated by the instructor and by co-group members. Their Laboratory activities are gauged using the rubrics that follows:
