Abstract
I have been teaching the General Education undergraduate course MARFAMI or Marriage and Family in De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde, Manila Philippines, which has been for more than two years now, that is, both before and during the ongoing pandemic. One project I utilize in this specific course is a project entitled “Good Role-Models of the Sacrament of Matrimony”. In this project the students identify a couple (husband and wife) that for them are good role-models of the Sacrament of Marriage. The couple that they interview can be from among their family, relatives or neighbors or couples they know from their Church communities who have been married for at least 15 or so years. This research would like to present how this student requirement can be one of the best practices in teaching and conducting the undergraduate course Marriage and Family; and how this strategy can be used even during this ongoing pandemic through online teleconferencing apps like zoom or google meet; that even if this requirement is done fully online, it still can adhere to the learning outcomes of the course; and can be an authentic means of learning and teaching even during this new normal of education.
