b. Submission of Homework. All homework must be submitted as scheduled. No late homework shall be accepted.
14. Other Course Policies
a. On-line classes: All classes will be conducted in a full on-line mode. Modules will be available to students during the
term. Students may opt to join the on-line lectures or study using the modules at their own pace.

b. Guided Learning/Worksheet Activity. For each topic, teacher-guided worksheet activity will be facilitated during the
class. To reinforce student’s understanding of the topic, the worksheet activities will be given as homeworks/practice
problems to be done in the student’s own time. Worksheet activities are not to be graded.

d. Course Portfolio. The professor may collect exams and assessment tasks at the end of the quarter.

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. Consultation. Consultation may be done through BB course messages or Facebook Messenger. An FB chat group will
be created for the class. ALL students are required to join the group.
c. Written Examination. There will be three (3) summative assessments, Exams 1, 2 and 3. The schedule and coverage

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.
