TO: All Instructors
THRU: The Deans/Heads
RE: Maintenance of College Standards
1. “BHMC strives to improve her integrity, reputation and track record in delivering quality education thru a highly motivated, strong professionally dedicated, efficient and effective members of her faculty of instruction”, to quote from the opening statement of this representation used in the General Faculty Meeting last June 13, 2008.
2. In this regard, all members of the faculty especially those assigned to teach in the First Year level are hereby reminded to:
a. Take advantage of the momentum of enthusiasm the freshmen have (and all students for that matter) in their college life by giving all their best to fill in the academic, social and moral needs of these highly motivated students;
b. Treat these students as their children or younger brothers/sisters whose thirst for knowledge, skills, values and attitudes are unquenchable, therefore the responsibility of the faculty to satiate them;
c. Consider that no students are exactly alike, their capacity and rate of learning are of different degrees, hence the responsibility of the faculty to adjust the lessons and strategies in such a way that at least 90% of the class is effectively served at the end of the day;
d. Exert utmost effort to keep the teaching-learning situation a challenging but enjoyable one, so the faculty must develop the classroom into a learner-friendly environment, and:
e. Provide avenues where lesson difficulties are converted into “play” by reinforcing it with assignments and other self-activity exercises.
3. Let us take care of the few hundred students we have. These same students, once satisfied with our services, concern and love shall return to us under the principle of multiplier-effect. Let us answer point-blank the needs of our students for they are God-given to us thru their parents who believe that we can give them only the best.
4. We owe our students and their parents the best of what we can give; we owe our college the perpetuity of her standards of service, quality education, enviable track record and tradition of excellence. Everyone in this academic family is counted in this gigantic endeavor for the betterment of our wards
