    Note: Major demerit for over-reliance to online-sources.
  • Use triangulation (3 elements, i.e. facts, figures & illustrations; 3 sources)
  • Process the data. Outline the text. Analyze the information.
  • Avoid copy-pasting. Uphold intellectual honesty.
  • Maximize the library resources.
  • Grading criteria: substance, syntax, creativity & comprehensiveness
  • Implement the corrections and suggested inputs as
    soon as you received your draft. Then submit again.

Natatangi

Nakapagturo na ako sa DLSU-College of Saint Benilde,
St. Scholastica's College at Adamson University.

Naimbitahan na rin bilang panauhing tagapagsalita sa
University of Sto. Tomas, Far Eastern University,
UP Diliman at iba pang pamantasan.

Nalibot ko na rin ang marami pang pamantasan
habang ako'y aktibong naghahanap ng mapagtuturuan.

Pero tanging sa UP Manila lamang may
freedom wall na may _____ katangian.

Nakakalungkot.


Mabuhay ang UP!
Pagbati sa iyong sentenaryo!
