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

b. Submission of Assessment Tasks

Homework and other assigned coursework are due at the beginning of the class period of the
specified due date. Late submissions will not be accepted.

 c. Written Examination
There will be 4 written examinations covering the 4 intended COs. The final examination will be
the summative assessment of the four COs and will cover all topics of the course. Test booklet
will be used as answer sheet on all written examinations.

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, 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

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 CBMES 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.
