Hello, Paulinian Learner!

St. Paul University Manila warmly welcomes you to Religious Education 103: CHURCH. This
course will be delivered through a Modified Hybrid Remote Learning Approach via our LMS,
FLOW – Flexible Learning Online Workstations. This means that some sessions will be done
online, and some will be done offline – or what we can call remote.

I am Ms. Judith V. Alderete, you may contact me at

https://www.facebook.com/judith.v.alderete from 4:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. (Monday-Saturday).
While I will be making every effort to respond to your questions as soon as I could, it might take
me one day to send my reply.

This DLP is designed to help you find your way through the course. This packet is a guide. I
may make adjustments if I feel it’s going to help you learn better, or if you feel (and tell me) that
there is another way for you to learn better.

If you have used the DLP last school year, this is a shorter version. If this is your first time to use
the DLP, please watch the video in FLOW. The video will discuss the parts of the DLP, grading
system, course norms, and rubrics.
