Citing challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic and a deadlier surge to its academic community, the PUP Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs has issued a memorandum that instructed faculty members to ease academic workload for the second semester.
Covered by the memorandum are all branches and campuses in all grade levels.
Faculty members were asked to refrain from giving academic tasks such as oral reports, graded recitations, and interactive discussions.
They were instead encouraged to give reasonable graded exercise, set a maximum of two announced quizzes per course, and require only one final examination or project as a major assessment.
