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 coursework’s will not be
accepted. If one has a justifying circumstance, it must be discussed and a decision will be made before the due date or
when the assignment is due. Copied works/tasks of any required material to be submitted in the class are strictly
prohibited and those found guilty will be considered cheating.

 c. Major Examination (Long Quiz for both written and online and final exam) will be administered as scheduled. No special
exam will be given unless with a valid reason subject for approval of the Program Coordinator of the Electrical Engineering
Department. Furthermore, students of this course are required to participate actively in the events/activities organized for
this course.

d. Guidelines for Taking Online Exams (in-campus)

1. The use of gadgets, other than the student's computer machine, such as cell phones, tablets, and the like, is strictly not
allowed during exams.
2. Talking during the exam is also not allowed. Students need to focus solely on their monitor screens and solution papers.
Clarifications should be addressed directly to the teacher in charge.
3. Students are not allowed to print-screen or save the exam questions or any portion/part of the exam.

4. Strict checking of attendance will be done before and after the exam. Students who send another person (ringer) in lieu
of their presence will be considered cheating. Thus, students should take the exam on his/her assigned classroom and
not anywhere else.
5. Students are required to come on time in their respective classes for the exam will start exactly during their respective
class periods and conclude automatically at the end of the class period.

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 of written works 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 one’s 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 habit, one may lose points or credit for the class.

g. Consultation Schedule
Consultation schedules with the professor are posted outside the CEA Faculty room and in the School’s web page
(http://uv.edu.ph). It is recommended that the student first set an appointment to confirm the instructor’s availability.
