Feedback to Seminar-Training 1
A two-day training on December 13-14, 2024, was organized by the Mathematics Department Extension Committee in response to the demand of the participants of the September 2024 REEL (Researchers and Educators' Enhancement and Literacy) Seminar-Training. The four topics introduced last September 20-21 were the overview and basics of the LaTeX document preparation system, Python Programming, open-source Statistical software, and Research and Statistics. The discussion was more of appreciation of the topic by the participants of the partner institution, MIT, Inc. - Marawi. The feedback and evaluation made by the participants of the seminar-training resulted to the planning of the hands-on training as the community demanded it thus the second seminar-training for the REEL Extension Project came about.
Recommendation by Accreditation Team
The planning of the two-day hands-on seminar-training was strengthened more due to the visit of the AACCUP Accreditation Team in November 2024. The support of the MSU through the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, Extension, and Development (OVCRED) and the University Extension Service Center (UESC) is evident and documented as noted in the remarks of the Accreditation Team. There has been a recommendation since the Level 1 visit that the stakeholders be involved in the planning and implementation of extension projects and activities of the department which led to a meeting with the stakeholders on November 29, 2024.
LaTeX and Python Hands-on for Day 1
Faculty Members of the Mathematics Department and the Resource Speakers for Day 1
The first day of the hands-on seminar-training was graced by expert resource speakers on the topic. Prof. Charles B. Montero amazed the participants with the elegant output of the LaTeX software. This is particularly useful in the participants' workplace in preparing instructional materials and research output. The computing power of Python Programming was illustrated by Prof. Jezer C. Fernandez.
The first day of the hands-on seminar-training was attended by 103 students and 23 faculty members of MIT, Inc. - Marawi. The participants, especially those who brought personal laptops were actively engaged in the seminar-training. The participants' question regarding the software introduced were assisted by the speaker and some faculty and student volunteers from the Mathematics Department, MASS (Mathematical and Statistical Society), and GMASS student members.

Open-Source Statistical Software Hands-on for Day 2 (PSPP)
On the second day of the hands-on seminar-training, the PSPP was introduced to explore the open-source software by Prof. Analyn C. Malines. She is the College Secretary of CNSM, a faculty of the Mathematics Department, and a practicing statistical and research consultant. Prof. Malines provided a hand-out material to the participants, and she facilitated that hands-on exercise. The volunteer faculty and students of the Mathematics Department assisted the participants as well during the hands-on training. The second day of hands-on seminar-training was attended by 26 faculty of MIT, Inc. - Marawi and 76 students.
