5. OUR ARRANGEMENT
I will try to keep our classes interesting and fun if you promise to be interested. This is a two-way street. I enjoy lively
discussions that are not strictly limited to textbook information. I detest being the only one speaking during our sessions.
Learning is an interactive enterprise and, I am the type of teacher who considers every situation an opportunity to learn.
My responsibility to you goes beyond our lesson plan. You will get along with me if you:
1. ATTEND CLASSES AND SPECIAL EVENTS ON TIME. We both need to see and hear each other for learning to
happen. It is your job to make me remember you. The class will start at exactly 11:30am / 2:45pm. I will give a 15-
min allowance for you to come to my class but at exactly 11:45am / 3pm, if a student is not present at roll-call, the
student will be marked “late,” given he/she attends the class. This constitutes to a 0.5-point attendance for the
meet. Given an emergency and you can’t come in to the class, inform me in advance and you will be marked
“excused;” This constitutes to a 1-point attendance but this does not mean that you’ll be credited with the hands-on
exercise for that particular day. Remember, this is a workshop class; attendance equals exercise. I will only allow “3
excuses” for the whole term; otherwise you will be marked “absent.” The university standard “3-absence rule” will
be implemented for the duration of the term and students with excess absences will be given a grade of 0.0.
2. RESPECT DEADLINES. Plan ahead if you must. Failure to submit projects at the prescribed deadline will merit an
immediate 0%. This is non-negotiable.
3. SECURE EQUIPMENT AND POST PRODUCTION FACILITIES FOR CLASS USE, IN ADVANCE. DF students
may have limited access to Video Production equipment and facilities due to other production classes; as such it is
your responsibility to secure the equipment/facilities in advance; be responsible enough to have your forms signed /
letters endorsed, at least a week earlier.
4. BE MINDFUL OF ACADEMIC ETHICS. Plagiarism is unforgivable. Violation of Intellectual Property Rights Law is a
mortal sin. As early as now, I want you to practice professionalism. You are artists as well, and you will not want
others to use your material without crediting you. Respect the works of others, and acknowledge authors whenever
you borrow their ideas/materials. Cite them.
5. ASK FOR HELP WHEN YOU FEEL YOU NEED GUIDANCE. You know how/where to reach me.
6. BE BRAVE ENOUGH TO CHALLENGE ME WHENEVER YOU FEEL I HAVE SAID SOMETHING WRONG. It
should be a learning process for the both of us.
7. OPEN YOURSELF UP TO NEW IDEAS AND EXPERIENCES. You are design and arts students and should be
informed and opinionated. I cannot perform magic (though I wish I could), so you have to build on whatever
curiosity you currently have. Read. Watch. Experience!
8. COME TO CLASS WITH THE WILLINGNESS TO LEARN. Again. I am no magician. Every class is composed of
different people who, collectively, determine its spirit. You can choose to enjoy this class or hate it. Help me make it
a mind-blowing experience for all of us.
