Announement 5-MUS-2

No meeting on Monday (Dec 23, 2017), Dean's Meeting at AB.

Announcement: Political Economy (4Eco)

Since the syllabus is for upload on Monday, i'm posting the initial set of readings for next week:

48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene

Pdf's are scattered online, though books are available at Fullybooked.  I prefer that bookstore due to comparable price against the others.  You don't have to get the book if you don't want to since there are other readings and we'll use only a few chapters.

Note that it's the book discussion on the Laws, not the online summaries that we need.

These include;

1. Law 1 Never outshine the master
2. Law 5 So much depends on reputation - guard it with your life
3. Law 10 Infection: avoid the unhappy and unlucky
4. Law 19 Know who you're dealing with - do not offend the wrong person
5. Law 30 Make your accomplishments seem effortless
6. Law 40 Despise the Free Lunch

The 6 laws will be our topics on Thursday, as part of micro political economic ideas, after you bend-and-snap.  :)

See you then.

Announcements: All 2Pol

The preferred reference for Fili and Noli is the Penguin Classics publication as translated by Harold Augenbraum.

I will be uploading the course syllabus by Monday.  As for now, please be reminded that within every week, Day 1 (Tuesday) is discussion day, Day 2 (Thursday) is surprise quiz day, and Day 3 ( Saturday is discussion or activity day (which can help pull up your grades).

I will always recognize excused absences, but I will not give make-up quizzes.  Only Make-up major exams will be allowed.  The same will apply to any class activity.  Hence avoid being absent, particularly on graded days.  One solution that is open to all of you is to recover that missed graded (quiz or activity) with any accomplishment material that boosts our department.  These include certificates for participating in events (such as seminars, outreach, community development, competitions), recognized researches (through conference presentations or publications), and of course medals and awards.  These should be scanned and submitted to me. Also, following those with perfect attendance but have such credentials can submit to me for credit. Student life is a balance between the inside of the classroom and outside accomplishments.  These accomplishments are recognized in my Rizal class, since as I mentioned today, I want you to be heroes in your own right.  And you do not achieve by just simply being bookish.

For Les Miserables the following lyrics will be your readings:

1. Prologue
2. Valjean's Soliloquy
3. At the End of the Day
4. I Dreamed a Dream
5. Lovely Ladies
6. The Confrontation
7. Look Down
8. Stars
9. ABC Cafe / Red and Black
10. Do You Hear the People Sing
11. Dog Eats Dog
12. Javert's Suicide
13. The Wedding Chorale
14. Epilogue

I look forward to a productive 2nd semester with you.

Completion for IR

For those with INC in IR due to completion (valid excused - absence due to illness), and those who are to be given completion exams and revalida exams.

See me at AB Computer Laboratory at exactly 10:00 a.m. on January 11, 2017.

Completion and revalida exams will be the same coverage.  Coverage are those included in the Final Exam.

For those with failing grades, know that failure in the revalida means a failed final grade.

For those who would be doing completion debate.  There  will be one motion.

Motion (straight up, based on current events) - The Republic of the Philippines rejects Russia's offer of military support.
