10. Opportunities to Develop Lifelong Learning Skill

To develop lifelong learning skill, the primary learning outcome for this course is the Student’s Quantitative
Reasoning, which is to understand and apply the mathematical principles in Differential Equations that will
provide students with the needed working knowledge of advanced mathematical concepts and methods, and
an awareness of their relationship to increasingly complex world.

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 9 hours for a three-unit-course (6 meetings). Students
incurring more than 9 hours of unexcused absences automatically gets a failing grade
regardless of class standing.

b. Submission of Assessment Tasks (Student Outputs) should be on time; late submittal of

course works will not be accepted. If you have a justifying circumstance, it must be discussed
and a decision made before the due date or it is due when the assignment is due. Copied
works/tasks or any required material to be submitted in the class are strictly prohibited and
found guilty will be considered as cheating as well.

 c. Major Examination (Long Quiz for both written and on-line and Final Exam) will be
administered as scheduled. No special exam will be given unless with a valid reason subject for
approval of the Chairman of the Mathematics Department. Furthermore, students of this
course are required to participate actively in the events/activities organized for this course.

d. Course Portfolio
Course Portfolio will be collected at the end of the quarter. Lost documents will not be given
due credit.

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 University. 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/class produced reviewers/design projects/video
clips and learning in this course. If a student is caught cheating on an exam by his instructor or
substitute teacher, he or she will be given zero mark for the exam. If a student is caught
cheating twice on the same course, the student will be referred to the Prefect of Student
Affairs and be given a failing grade.

Grave misconduct other than cheating will likewise be given a failing grade. Disrespect to your
teacher or to others in the classroom will not be tolerated in the least. Argument is great but
bullying, fighting, mocking, and demeaning the teacher or other students will not be allowed.
Come to class on time, there can be mitigating circumstances from time to time but if it
becomes a chronic behavior you may lose points or credit for the class.

g. Consultation Schedule
Consultation schedules with the Professor are posted outside the Math Faculty room and in
the School’s website (http://math.mapua.edu.ph). It is recommended that the student first
set an appointment to confirm the instructor’s availability.
