CLASS POLICIES:
1. There are two examinations given throughout the semester: the midterm
examination and the final examination. A student who missed these
examinations will not be given a special exam unless a valid reason for
the absence is supported by pertinent documents (e.g. medical certificate
in case of sickness).
2. Students are expected to observe proper conduct and demeanor at all
times. Any form of misbehavior or misconduct that may jeopardize other
pupils/ the instructors/ the class or that may distract or disrupt the class
will not be tolerated and hence will be subjected to necessary disciplinary
measures.
3. Class attendance will strictly be monitored. Students are expected to
attend all the scheduled classes on time. Students who will come to class

 exceeding the fifteen-minute grace period will be considered as absent for
that particular period, three tardiness is equivalent to one absence. A
student who will commit three unexcused absences (three absences only
for classes that meet once a week) will automatically be dropped from the
class. (For every absence, one point deduction and half point deduction
for every late)
4. Cheating, in whatever form and means, will not be tolerated. A student,
who will be found cheating, will automatically receive a grade of 5.0 for the
subject.
5. The classroom is not a place to dine so students are not allowed to eat in
class. For three-hour classes, a fifteen-minute break will be given for
students to take their snacks.
6. Cellular phones and other gadgets are not allowed in class. Students are
advised to keep these inside their bags. Cellphones should also be turned
off or put into silent mode so that it will not be a reason for class
distraction and/or disruption. In case of emergency (i.e. students are
expecting important calls from home), the instructor’s permission must be
sought beforehand.
7. Students have the responsibility to comply with all the class requirements.
Lately submitted requirements will not be accepted and will automatically
be given a grade of 5.0.
