1. Revisit the God/Religion question you expressed on your class card at the beginning of the course. You will be allowed to view your class card. Jut approach me about this in the coming days.
2. Construct a mind/concept map with the above question as centerpiece or starting point. The map should be a visual representation of how the course was helpful in facing the question. If the question itself changed as the course unfolded, your map could be a visual representation of that itinerary. Every course content/reading/video/article relevant to your question must also be represented with its proper place of significance on the map.
3. The map could be a hand-made poster. It must be as wide as a regular projector screen. You may use cartolina, manila paper, illustration board, and other materials for the poster. Just bring your poster when you appear for your exam.
4. The map could be digitally made. Please save it under the format *.jpg, *.jpeg, or *.png. DO NOT SAVE THE FILE AS PDF. Use your nickname as filename. Make sure the entire map is intelligible, with words legible when the poster is shown in full screen mode. You will not be allowed to zoom the image in or out during your presentation. Email your digital poster to me before 6am of the day of the exam.
Guidelines for taking the exam itself:
On exam days, a copy of the exam schedule will be posted outside Faura AVR for your reference. If you took a photo of the sign up sheet please do not send it to anyone or post it anywhere. You were allowed to take these snapshots for your own reference only.
Before the start of the exams, all digital posters for the day will have already been downloaded into a dedicated laptop for use for the entire day. Students taking the exams need not bring their laptops or other devices.
Aside from your physical poster, you don't need to bring anything else to the exam. If you made a digital poster, you don't need to bring anything at all. Index cards, outlines, idiot boards, and the like are prohibited.
Students sign up in pairs but will take the exam individually. Every student is expected to stay at the venue for at least 30 minutes. Each one needs 15 minutes to take the exam and must stay for another 15 minutes to witness another student take the exam. This will keep the exam venue a safe place. People who wish to witness the exam will be allowed to do so on condition that they will not disrupt the examinations. The teacher will require any member of the audience to leave the room if their behavior is distracting or disruptive to the exam. A student who wishes to have no audience around during the exam due to the possible confidential nature of his/her God/religion question may politely ask the audience to leave at the beginning of his//her presentation. The audience is requested to comply with the student's request.
Let us be mindful of the time. Your time begins exactly when the timer rings. (NOT after the person before you leaves; NOT when you begin your presentation). Please do not be surprised that the timer is already running as you begin your presentation. This is to make sure that we will have no delays and the last person to take the exam for the day will be able to take it on schedule. If you are next in line, be ready to follow. For those bringing actual posters, feel free to post your work on the board with the tape provided even if someone else is still making a presentation. Just do it as silently and discreetly as possible. You may immediately pull down your physical poster as soon as you are done with the exam.
Begin the presentation by introducing your question then proceed with a walk-through of the map. Make the necessary explanations along the way. I will be asking you questions when the need arises. Since note cards, idiot boards, gadgets, etc are prohibited, use the map itself as your outline or reference.
We will use a tablet timer app to track your time. The screen will be visible to you so you can pace yourself according to the time you have. Please let me know if you would rather not see your remaining time.
If the teacher asks a question, it is to clarify what you have already said or to bring attention to an aspect of your question or topic that you may have neglected.
Sometimes difficult questions are asked to measure whether or not you really deserve a high mark.
Please be at the designated venue and be ready to take the exam 15-20 minutes prior to your time.
If someone does not make it on time, the student next in line is asked to take the exam. It will just be as if the tardy student switches time slots with the next person in line.
You may switch time slots but be sure you have a clear understanding with one another. Telling the teacher about the switch will be appreciated but not necessary.
