- Think of your well-meaning professors who remain in UP notwithstanding the better economic opportunities and more efficient system outside.
- And most importantly, think of the ordinary Filipino taxpayers who finance portion of your university education, many of whom cannot afford to send their children to tertiary level.

SS 120

- Develop a handwritten or computer-generated infographic about any sectoral-specific, problem-specific or policy-specific issue in the community where you conducted your summer practicum.

- Use an appropriate title.
- Incorporate facts, figures, and analysis.
- Ensure coherence of the abovecited elements.
- Adopt a critical perspective.
- Observe parallelism.
- Use all caps sparingly.
- Utilize appropriate font style, font size, font color, graphics, and layout.
- Ensure the coherence of the abovecited elements.
- Seek the advice of Charles, Jecca and Jomer on how to further improve your layout.

Paghanga

I am impressed with...

- the good showing of the DS 126 Pananagutan class in our first LPS round #developmentX

- the credentials of the DS freshies based on the student information sheet they submitted #bunso

- the giant infographics of the Talim Island team during their practicum assessment #propa

I am also equally delighted with the opportunity of meeting new students in DS 126 from the esteemed Political Science and Organizational Communication Programs. Together with the Development Studies majors, let us all contribute to the strengthening of democratic institutions and processes in the country.
