UNDERSTANDING THE SELF

I.  COURSE NUMBER: GE 6

II.  DESCRIPTIVE TITLE:  Understanding the Self

III.   CREDIT:  3 Units – 3 hours lecture per week

      PRE-REQUISITES:  None

IV.  COURSE DESCRIPTION:

The course is intended to facilitate the exploration of the issues and concerns regarding self and identity to arrive at a better understanding of one’s self. It strives to meet its goal by stressing the integration of the personal with the academic – contextualizing matters discussed in the classroom and in the everyday experiences of students –making for better learning, generating an new appreciation for the learning process, and developing a more critical and reflective attitude while enabling them to manage and improve their selves to attain a better quality of life.
The course is divided into three major parts:
The first part seeks to understand the construct of self from various disciplinal perspectives: philosophy, sociology, anthropology and psychology – as well as the more traditional division between the East and the West – each seeking to provide answer to difficult but essential question – “What is the Self?”. And raising, among others, the question: “Is there even a construct of the Self?”.
The second part explores some of the various aspects that make up the self; such as the biological and material up to and including the more recent Digital Self.
The third and final part identifies three areas of concerns for young students: learning, goal setting, and managing stress. It also provides for the more practical application of the concepts discussed in this course and enables them the hands-on experience of developing self-help plans for self-regulated learning, goal setting and self care.
This course includes mandatory topics on Family Planning and Population Education. (CMO No.20, s.2013)

MATHEMATICS IN THE MODERN WORLD

I.  COURSE NUMBER:  GE 3

II.  DESCRIPTIVE TITLE:   Mathematics in the Modern World

III.   CREDIT :  3 Units – 3 hours lecture per week       

PRE-REQUISITES:  None

IV.  COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course deals with nature of mathematics, appreciation of its practical, intellectual, and aesthetic dimensions, and application of mathematical tools in daily life.

The course begins with an introduction to the nature of mathematics as an exploration of patterns (in nature and the environment) and as an application of inductive and deductive reasoning. By exploring these topics, students are encouraged to go beyond the typical understanding of mathematics as merely a set of formulas but as a source of aesthetics in patterns of nature, for example, and a rich language in itself (and of science) governed by logic and reasoning.
The course then proceeds to survey ways in which mathematics provides a tool for understanding and dealing with various aspects of present- day living, such as managing personal finances, making social choices, appreciating geometric designs, understanding codes used in data transmission and security, and dividing limited resources fairly. 
These aspects will provide opportunities for actually doing mathematics in a broad range of exercises that bring out the various dimensions of mathematics as a way of knowing, and test the students' understanding and capacity. (CMO No. 20, series of 2013)
