Guidelines for

PERSEF Papers

1. Submit on time

2. Always indicate: Student Name, PERSEF Year Level and Section, Teacher’s Name, Date Submitted

3. Follow instructions

4. Avoid grammatical and conventional errors

5. Engage in reflective thinking: Speak for yourself by using ‘I’, ‘me’, ‘myself’

6. Homework papers must be encoded always

7. Keep handouts and returned papers in your portfolio

Be in the HERE and NOW

When you are in PERSEF, be in PERSEF—body, mind, and

spirit. FOCUS! Assignments and studying for other subjects are not to be done during PERSEF class

There would be no need for electronic gadgets (laptops, PSPs, MP3 players, cellular phones, etc.) in this class. Keep them inside your bags and do not use them in the entire duration of the class

The classroom is not an extension of your bedroom. Get

enough sleep at home so you will remain AWAKE in your classes.

Written Outputs

ATTENDANCE

You are expected to be always present and come on time for your PERSEF class so as not to miss graded classroom activities;

Maximum allowable unexcused absences for PERSEF is two (2) meetings of absence and (1) meeting late. Thus, if you have met the maximum, you do not need to report to class because you are automatically Failed (0.0) anyway;

If you are late by 31 minutes, you are already considered absent. You do not need to come to class anymore as you will be marked absent already;

Medical certificates are coursed through the University Clinic

Use technology. Do not let technology use you. Remember

your sense of timing and propriety.

It’s OK to do this at home, or when alone.

But you should know the difference when you are with other people

I do not conduct exorcism of possessed people

Bring your UGLY eyes-rolling behavior somewhere else.

When going out, have the basic courtesy of

ASKING FOR PERMISSION

Be prompt to return.

PERSEF is…

Learning by

— Ralph W. Sockman, Christian writer LISTEN True communication does NOT happen with

two or more mouths talking at the same time

SILENT =

When we listen intentionally, we learn from others, we protect their emotional boundaries, and we invite them to genuinely listen to us when it is our turn to speak

THE HABIT OF COMMUNICATION

To understand = To stand under

The letter is the

most important letter in the alphabet!

Why, Why Questions and

SPEAK

MIND!

Non scholae, sed vitae (“not of school, but of life”)

Bring the right attitude in your PERSEF class because it talks about YOU!

a confession of character.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
