PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
The alumni, three to five years after graduation shall:
1. Successfully practice as engineering technologists for the welfare of the society
2. Demonstrate a high degree of professionalism at all times
PHILOSOPHY
Everyone, every day, uses technology. Most of the computer technicians leave the programming
to engineers because they think coding and electronics are complicated and difficult; actually these
can be fun and exciting activities. Thanks to Arduino, designers, artists, hobbyists, and students of
all ages are learning to create things that light up, move, and respond to people, animals, plants,
and the rest of the world.
Over the years, Arduino has been used as the “brain” in thousands of projects, one more creative
than the last. A worldwide community of makers has gathered around this open-source platform,
moving from personal computing to fabrication, and contributing to a new world of participation,
cooperation, and sharing.

COURSE POLICIES

Grading System

The work of students shall be graded at the end of each term per the following system:

Numerical Grade Percentage Equivalent Description

1.00 98-100 Excellent
1.25 94-97 Superior
1.50 90-93 Very Good

Page 4 of 7
 1.75 88-89 Good
2.00 85-87 Meritorious
2.25 83-84 Very Satisfactory
2.50 80-82 Satisfactory
2.75 78-79 Fairly Satisfactory
3.00 75-77 Passing
5.00 Below 75 Failure
Inc. *Incomplete
Drp Dropped

Students who will get a grade of 70-74 must be given a removal examination. A grade of
“3.0’ will be given to those who will pass the removal examination and those who will fail will be
given a grade of “5.0”.

*A grade of “Incomplete” must be complied with by the student within one (1) semester
or one hundred fifty (150) days. A student who fails to complete the deficiency/deficiencies at the
end of the succeeding semester shall automatically obtain a grade of 5.0 in the course.

Academic Dishonesty

Academic dishonesty includes acts such as cheating during examinations or plagiarism in

connection with any academic work. Such acts are considered major offenses and will be dealt
with according to the University’s Student Norms of Conduct. It is said that each and every person
has their own brilliant idea and therefore should not miss the chance of discovering it.

If students are caught doing something mysterious in this course, they automatically will
receive a final grade of 5.0 for the course and will face university disciplinary action. Like any
other faculty member or good student at the Batangas State University, all faculty members take
academic integrity so seriously. It is expected of the students too.

Dropping

Dropping must be made official by accomplishing a dropping form and submitting it at the
Registrar’s Office physically online before the midterm examination. Students who officially drop
out of class shall be marked “Dropped” whether he took the preliminary examination or not and
irrespective of their preliminary grades.

A student who unofficially drops out of class shall be given a mark of “5.0” by the
instructor.

Regulations and Restrictions in the Classroom

Inside the classroom, the student should behave properly so that classroom activities will
not be interrupted. The following will be strictly observed during class:
1. All safety protocols to prevent COVID-19 must be properly observed.
2. All cell phones and other electronic gadgets must be turned off.
3. Eating, drinking, and smoking are not allowed.
4. Chatting, talking with the seatmates is prohibited.
5. Reading newspapers, magazines, pocketbooks, and the like are not allowed.
6. Going in and out of the room without permission from the instructor.
7. Being excused by friends or peers from outside just for any reason is not allowed except
for emergency cases concerning family problems or administrative reasons.
8. Playing games, cards, or any form of gambling is strictly prohibited.

Additional Reminders

1. Learn independently; the responsibility for learning falls squarely upon the student’s
shoulders. The course instructor shall guide the student but remember, learning does not
come from them. Neither can they learn for the student’s sake. If he/she succeeds, the credit
belongs to the student exclusively. If the student fails, there is no one left to blame but the
student. However, this does not mean that learning should be an individual activity.
Students are fully encouraged to form support groups or online study groups, using Google
Meet, Facebook, or any other communication platform. Start communicating with your
classmates to form these workgroups.
2. There are specific qualities that are required of the student to succeed. Paramount among
these qualities is discipline, focus, and determination. They should likewise possess an
analytical or critical mind.
3. It is recommended that students should spend time reading and studying the instructional
materials presented. If there are more resources needed, use the power of the Internet.
4. Make sure that students do all the requirements on their own. ALL materials lifted from
secondary sources must be CITED properly. Give a list of references and materials cited
at the end of each requirement submitted.
5. All of the CPT 111 announcements, tips, guides, instructions, etc. will be posted in the CPT
111 Google Classroom. Simply visit the CPT 111 Google Classroom for more details.
6. The course instructor reserves the right to moderate the forums. This includes deletion of
prohibited posts, and/or giving warnings and possible deductions to violators.
