13.1. Other Course Policies

a. Attendance
According to CHED policy, total number of absences by the students should not be more than
20% of the total number of meetings or 15 hrs for a three-unit-course. Students incurring more
than 15 hours of unexcused absences automatically gets a failing grade regardless of class
standing.

b. Assessment Tasks
Learning Task are activities to supplement the lecture discussion, usually a set of problems the
students need to solve and present to the class. The learning tasks will be graded based on the
correctness of the solution. Late submissions of learning tasks will not be accepted.

c. Written Examination

PRINCIPLES OF TRANSPORT PROCESSES 2ND Quarter SY 1ST Quarter SY Page 5 of 6

2014-2015 2016-2017 RBLERON ARCaparanga
 There will be 4 long written examinations (including the finals) covering the three major clusters
of topics (Momentum transfer, Heat transfer, and Mass transfer). The final examination will cover
all topics of the course. Test booklet will be used as answer sheet on all written examinations. All
exams are announced. A grade of zero will be given to the succeeding missed exams.

d. Course Portfolio
Selected problem sets and examinations are to be compiled and collected before the end of the
term. The selection is based on statistical data gathering (lowest, median, and highest). Learning
tasks and examinations with marks lowest, median, and highest must be scanned and compiled.
The compilation must be place on a CD and be submitted to the instructor for course portfolio
keeping.

e. Language of Instruction
Lectures, discussion, and documentation will be in English. Written and spoken work may receive
a lower mark if it is, in the opinion of the instructor, deficient in English.

f. Honor, Dress and Grooming Codes

All of us have been instructed on the Dress and Grooming Codes of the Institute. We have all
committed to obey and sustain these codes. It will be expected in this class that each of us will
honor the commitments that we have made. For this course the Honor Code is that there will be
no plagiarizing on written work and no cheating on exams. Proper citation must be given to
authors whose works were used in the process of developing instructional materials and learning
in this course. If a student is caught cheating on an exam, he or she will be given zero mark for
the exam. If a student is caught cheating twice, the student will be referred to the Prefect of
Student Affairs and be given a failing grade.

g. Consultation Schedule
Consultation schedules with the Professor are posted outside the ChE-Chm Faculty room and in
the School’s web-page ( http://che-chm.mapua.edu.ph ). It is recommended that the student first
set an appointment to confirm the instructor’s availability.
