Engr. Aileen A. Sierras, Director of the Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning (CiTL) of the USTP System, served as the resource person for the activity. In her lecture, Engr. Sierras explained the formatting, cover pages, and content of the IM. She provided examples of IMs as a guide. She also stated that, while creating IMs, plagiarism and copyright violations must be considered.
“Plagiarism is copying an author’s exact phrase without acknowledgment, and copyright infringement is using copyrighted works without the author’s consent,” Engr. Sierras elaborated.
As part of the workshop, the participants were given the opportunity to present their IMs. They also inquired on how to enhance their IMs according to their department’s respective fields and specializations. Engr. Sierras responded with ideas for improvements based on the IMs that were presented.
The capacity-building proved timely as USTP Claveria aspires to produce IMs as one of the targets of the different colleges for Fiscal Year 2023 Office Performance Commitment Review.
