COURSE REQUIREMENTS
As LSPU students, you know that for the most part you will be studying on your own. Do read/view the
resources, guided by the Course Syllabus. This way you will be able to keep up with the discussion,
assignments and other requirements.

A. Participation in the Discussion

21st Century Literature from the Philippines and the World is a flexible learning course. There will be two
learning modalities to be applied: online and offline. For Online Activities, a Facebook group exclusive for
the subject will be made and used to deliver lessons and supplementary materials through posts.
Participation is expected through comments on the posts. Other platforms aside from Facebook may be
used like Zoom or Google forms for particular activities, but has to be announced weeks earlier for you to
prepare. Meanwhile, for Offline Activities, the lessons will be printed in self-paced learning modules to be
delivered to the students. Either of the two modalities you choose, your participation is highly expected.
