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. Guided Learning Output

Guided learning outputs through various worksheets in each clusters of topics are assigned to the students.
Problems encountered in the worksheets will be discussed in class.

c. Written Examination

There will be 3 written examinations covering the four COs. Students will be given two (2) chances or
attempts to take the exam (but with different point-credit); higher score will be considered. At the end of
each take the solutions to the problems will be discussed.

A student who gets a score pf 70% or higher in the first attempt, will get 100% credit in the corresponding
Problem Set. The student’s actual score will be the score to be recorded for the examination. The score is
exempted from taking a second attempt.

A student who gets a score lower than 70% in the first attempt shall be given a chance to take a second
attempt. The higher score (between the first and second attempts) shall be recorded for both Problem Set
and corresponding examination. However, the score can’t be greater than 70%.

A student who missed the first attempt but takes the second attempt shall get 0% for the Problem Set and
the actual score in the examination. However, the maximum score can’t be greater than 60%.

d. Course Portfolio
Selected guided learning outputs 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). Guided learning outputs
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.

h. Appeal system
All appeals on student assessment must be made by the concerned student within one week after the
return of the assessed student work.

In case the student is not satisfied, no later than one week after the decision of the faculty has been made,
he can elevate the appeal to the program chair or dean in case there is no program chair. The decision of
the program chair or dean is final. The faculty must abide with the moderated decision of the program chair
or dean.
