14. 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 9 hours for a three-unit course. Students incurring more than 9 hours
(lecture or laboratory) of unexcused absences automatically gets a failing grade regardless of class
standing.
b. Submission of Assessment Tasks
Late submissions of Learning Activities will not be accepted.
c. Written Examination
There will be 4 quizzes covering the intended COs. The final examination will be the summative
assessment of the four COs and will have to demonstrate understanding of the course. Exams will be
administered as scheduled. No special exam will be given unless with a valid reason subject to approval
by the Program Coordinator.
d. Course Portfolio
Selected assessment tools are to be compiled and collected before the end of the term. The selection is
based on statistical data gathering (lowest, median, highest). Learning tasks and examinations with
marks lowest, median, and highest must be photocopied and must be given back 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
Students must abide with the Dress and Grooming Codes of the University.
Honor Code - All are expected to embody and practice the University’s core values – Discipline, Excellence,
Commitment, Integrity, and Relevance. In the same manner, Respect, Courtesy, and Politeness are given
emphasis in order to create an atmosphere conducive to learning. Academic dishonesty or any form of
cheating is a major offense. Found guilty has a sanction of suspension, with or without community service;
non-readmission; dismissal; expulsion from the University.

g. Consultation Schedule
Consultation schedules with the Professor are posted outside the CEGE Faculty room. It is recommended
that the student first set an appointment to confirm the instructor’s availability.
