Bakit ka absent? Asan ang output mo? Ok ka lang ba? May pinagdaanan ka ba?

I hope that OCS will release the final class list soon so that I will be able to transfer and account my students' record of accumulated points.  When that time comes, expect regular personal reminders from me regarding your overall class standing, especially those with academic deficiencies. #teacherproblems

Homily

- By extension, never give others a reason to doubt too that you are a UP student.
- The semester has just begun. Laziness can still be reversed.
- Resist the culture of mediocrity. It's infectious.
- Submit outputs that qualify in both substance and syntax.
- Maximize and make a mark in your university experience.
- Don't cheat and shortchange yourself by submitting substandard outputs (mema culture).
- Remember that "a critical mind is a questioning mind."
- Discover alternative ideas. We tend to forget this very crucial role of being in UP.

Praxis AVP tips

- Lagyan ng separator o transition bilang pagitan sa bawat seksyon/bahagi ng inyong AVP.

- Linawan, lakasan at sikhayan ang voice over.

- Gumamit ng mga angkop na footage at photo.

- I-float ang mga mahahalagang parirala, termino, datos at panawagan sa tamang lugar.

- Gumamit ng angkop na background instrumental music.

- Kung gagamit ng protest song sa dulo, dapat itong hinaan kung kasabay ng voice over upang hindi magkontrahan sa pandinig.

- Iwasang paulit-ulit na gamitin ang larawan sa buong AVP.

- Lagyan ng natatanging karakter ang inyong AVP upang maging kawili-wili itong panoorin.

- Tandaan ang layunin nating makapukaw at makapagmulat sa pagbuo ng AVP.

- Tiyaking may back-up copy ng file sa lahat ng oras.

- Kung masyadong mahaba ang script, sikaping magbawas ng ilang bahagi.

- Magtulungan ang magkakagrupo at umalalaylay rin sa ibang grupo.

- Huwag mag-away at magsakitan #kalma

Development Studies freshies and sophies (updated)

Take all your GE and foundation courses very seriously.  It will provide you with a holistic appreciation and understanding of society and its complex process of change. With or without the conscious effort of your professors to establish the vital link of their subject matter to your course, still bear in mind that specialization/expertise in the study of development or underdevelopment (or any subfield for that matter) emerges only from a general knowledge about our natural, physical and social world as a foundation. Moreover, a general comprehension of social and physical environments allows us to see and evaluate the interconnectedness of development issues, and the patterns of change and continuities in our economic and political world.  This dialectics of specialized and general knowledge enables us to become effective and responsible development scholars and practitioners. #devtalk #devwork #alammoyan
