Elements and features of transport systems, technological and operational characteristics of various modes of transportation; tools for transport system analysis; land use/transport interaction; forecast of transport demand; principles of planning, design, operation, maintenance and management.


Housing is an urban design issue that is multi-faceted. This course brings to fore the need to relate physical design issues with people, institution, and environment. 

Housing in this course covers the full spectrum of products ranging from informal settlements, socialized housing, middle class to high-end housing. Strategies for dealing with supply and demand gaps, market needs and preferences, affordability and resilience concerns are highlighted by local cases and international cases. 

Principles that govern the production, utilization and evaluation of housing products are embedded in the lecture topics and class activities.

This is HEEd 147 Practicum II Teaching Home Economics course page. Through this course, students will put into practice the knowledge and skills in teaching that they have developed from previous related courses through supervised teaching experiences off-campus.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course covers the end- to-end discussion of three machine learning use cases used in business namely: recommender systems, fraud detection and conversational chatbot. This will include discussion on concepts, processes, and hands-on analysis and modeling to address the business requirements for each use case. This course will make use of python programming.

 

COURSE GOALS

 

At the end of this course, students will be able to

·       Understand the various machine learning techniques that can be used for recommendation engines, fraud detection and conversational chatbots;

·       Be familiar with the use of python programming and jupyter notebook for data science.

·       Apply the appropriate machine learning algorithm/s to address new data science use case requirements


This course is a part of a two- part series on social work research: SW 199.1, and SW 199.2. The first course  aims to introduce  students to theories and methods of research in the context of social work practice  While SW199.1 focuses on the theoretical study of research,  SW199.2 covers its practical application. 

The main output of SW199.1 is a research proposal to be submitted at the end of the semester. If approved and accepted by the professor, the proposal may be implemented in SW199.2 in coordination with the designated professor. 

As we are in a pandemic era, students are expected to carry out research through online methods.

COURSE DESCRIPTION AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

This course is an introduction to the general phenomenon of social deviance— a concept often misunderstood yet persistently used by societies to justify control (isolate, treat, correct, punish, execute) over particular types of people. The definition of ‘deviance’ is fleeting. Deviance has changed across societies, at different time-periods, and has been experienced differently by dissimilar types of people. Deviance is hard to pin-down. And arguably, what seems to be the only objective reality left in ‘deviance’ is its capacity to reveal the many other inequalities and injustices in society.

 

In this class, we will learn to examine how various sociological perspectives have viewed, interpreted, and ‘dealt with’ non-conformity and criminality. We will critically interrogate the social landscape of deviance using social scientific theories, sociological concepts, and empirical research as tools for analysis. As we cover the core theories and forms of deviance largely in terms of normative variations, delinquency, and criminality, we shall locate the local Filipino ‘deviant’ experience in the global context and juxtapose experiences of different societies.

 

By the end of the semester, each student must be able to:

Demonstrate comprehension of sociological concepts in the area of the sociology of deviance;

Formulate sociological analysis about different facets of deviance and social control;

Practice the ability to assess empirical evidence and identify and reflect on important issues in ethics which may arise in the study of deviance and social control; and 

Exhibit critical thinking in the form of clear, evaluative statements during discussion and assessment activities in class.


FILIPINO INTER-CULTURAL ENCOUNTERS

Seminar course on the process of culture change in the Philippines and the Filipino responses to external social and cultural factors

(An elective course for Master of Arts in Philippine Studies and Master of Arts in Philippine Studies)


This course is the study and application of the basic components of tourism. In this course, we will discuss its different forms and products, its processes and systems, and its evolution as an industry and an academic discipline. It will also include how the functions of marketing and management contribute to sustainable tourism development and will discuss the social, environmental, and economic significance of tourism at local, national, and international levels.


Tour 151 will discuss the importance and relevance of marketing in a variety of tourism-oriented institutions. Emphasis is placed on policies, strategies, and tactics in promoting tourism and other products and services of the country

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Transportation is an integral part of daily life. Transportation and travel could be discussed without taking tourism into consideration, but tourism cannot thrive without travel. Transportation is an integral part of the tourism industry. It is largely due to the improvement of transportation that tourism has expanded. The course is expected to discuss the following:

a.    Development of major transportation systems- acknowledging that linkage by air, sea, and land modes is essential for the operations as well as the availability of support services esp. in tourism;

b.    Marketing function- transportation is most often seen as part of the tourism system bringing tourists to destinations;

c.     Process of physical distribution;

d.    Factors affecting land, sea and air travel and transport systems;

e.    Transportation’s impact on areas served;

f.      Analysis of models of passenger transportation;

g.    Rates and services in various operations;

h.    Maximizing the contributions of the transport system.

 The transportation system of a tourist destination has an impact on the tourism experience which explains how people travel and why they choose different forms of holiday, destination, and transport. The improvement in transportation modes plus low fares has increased the accessibility of areas once considered off-the-beaten-path. Accesses to tourist sites vary per the nature of the site, the state of infrastructure, and the efficiency of the public transport system.



This course deals with the management of air transport services and facilities related to tourism from standard operations and regulations to contemporary trends and issues that define the technical, operational, safety and security functions in air travel.
