Writing Standards
3. Effective managers, leaders, and teachers are also effective
communicators. Written communication is an important element of the
total communication process. The Graduate School recognizes and
expects exemplary writing to be the norm for course work. To this end,
all papers, individual and group, must demonstrate graduate level
writing and comply with the format requirements of the Publication
Manual of the American Psychological Association, 5th Edition. Careful
attention should be given to spelling, punctuation, source citations,
references, and the presentation of tables and figures. It is expected that
all course work will be presented on time and error free.
Requirements/ Project
Students are required to submit project on or before the schedule
deadline for submission. There will be an individual and group project.
Groupings will be done on the first day of the class to give students
ample time in conceptualizing and in the development of the multimedia
product.
There will be two individual projects required, a slide presentation
based on the researched software to be reported in the class; and
developed advertisement of any kind using any multimedia tools/
software except PowerPoint.
The making of a music television video or MTV of any chosen song
will be the group project. It will also be considered as the final project.
House Rules
1. Attendance
Each student is required to attend the class for at least two (2)
Saturday and be able to attend the final presentation on the fourth
week in order to pass the subject.
2. Deadlines
Projects and answers to assignments should be submitted on time.
There will be a deduction of 5% for every day late submission of
assignments or projects. Do your best to finish your assignments
and projects way before the due date.
3. Intellectual Honesty
4. As masters students you are expected to do your best. Whatever
assignments and projects you submit are assumed to be your own
work. Do not be tempted to take shortcuts by having someone else
do your work for you, or by doing someone else. You would not
want someone else to get credit for something you worked hard to
accomplish. Moreover, you would not want to get credit for
something you did not do. If you find that you are unable to finish
certain requirements, the best solution is to contact your
instructor.
