This is an agreement between the Subject Teacher, the students and the parents or
guardians involved and thus it comprises of six different parts: Agreement Guidelines, Performance
Tasks and Rubrics, Classroom Policies, Late and Absences, Subject and Clearance Requirements, and
Grades and Sanctions.

I. Agreement Guidelines

1. The Subject Teacher shall provide and comprehensively discuss the guidelines to the students
during
the week of official start of classes. 2. The guidelines will be the minimum content that which
must be complied during the duration of the semester unless otherwise there are limitations which
may inevitably inhibit the students to conform to the guidelines. 3. This agreement shall be pasted on
the first pages of the student’s lecture notebook. 4. Deviations from the guidelines due to such

II. Performance Tasks and

Rubrics

II.A PT #1 – Case Study Final

Submission: August 16, 2019, Friday

The University of San Jose Recoletos has established a program to strengthen its sports and
performance arts programs as it embarks its thrusts not only to become locally competitive but
globally as well. To initially attain this, the university has hired groups of physics experts in the
field of kinematics to analyze student’s performances in their respective areas under sports.
As a local physicist with expertise in the field, the university has hired you and your group’s
service to make a report and present a ​case study with deep analysis ​and comparison of a
non- professional athlete versus an amateur player of a specific sports with the objective of either
analyzing exemplary mechanisms for a more efficient execution or for constructive correction.
You are to present your findings to the athletics director. Your report will be assessed based
on understanding of the problem, data analysis, comprehensiveness of recommendations, data
supplementation, and report organization.
 II.B Parts of the
Report

The structure for the case study should contain the ff: Introduction, Methods, Results,
Discussion & Conclusion. Use the guide
http://www.lib.uoguelph.ca/get-assistance/writing/specific-
types-papers/using-scientific-journal-article-write-critical-review ​for the critical paper review from
the first grading.

II.C PT #2 – Peer Paper Review Final

Submission: October 4, 2019, Friday

After your team’s deep analysis to the comparison of a non-professional athlete versus an
amateur player of a specific sports in the University of San Jose Recoletos’ programs, the
university now needs to verify and validate the said study in order to contest locally and globally
in the field of research and innovation.
As an outstanding researcher with expertise in the field of Physics, the university has hired
you and your group’s service to make a report and present a ​peer paper review ​of the other
team’s case study inculcating the comparison of a non-professional athlete versus an amateur
player of a specific sports with the objective of either analyzing exemplary mechanisms for a
more efficient execution or for constructive correction.
You are to present your paper review to the athletics director. Your report will be assessed
based on understanding of the problem, data analysis, comprehensiveness of recommendations,
data supplementation, and report organization.
