Circulating or Selling Class Materials

Unless otherwise stated, all course materials and related resources are copyrighted by the instructor or their respective authors as indicated in the materials. You are not allowed to circulate or sell any of these
materials or resources. Please report any violations to your instructor.

Accommodations for Students with Disabilities (SWD)

Students with Disabilities: Your access in this course is important. Please submit your SWD/PWD certificate early in the semester so that we have adequate time to arrange your approved academic
accommodations. If you need immediate accommodation for equal access, please inform your instructor.

Attendance and Absences

As the course will be delivered online, attendance will not be checked except for activities that require the student to actively participate such as online lectures via live-streaming. However, your progress with the
course will be monitored based on completion of scheduled course activities and compliance of graded course requirements.

Formative & Summative Assessments

Your performance in this course will be assessed based on the following evaluation measures:

a. Weekly Reading Assignments/Homework

Reading assignments will be given to you on a weekly basis. This will help you keep up with the course materials. It also makes class activities and discussions more productive and engaging if you are prepared.

b. Fora and Workshops

Discussion forums will be set-up to allow you to easily give feedback during or after the delivery of a topic/sub-topic. Graded discussion forums will include a question that each student must answer. You must
first post your answer to the question before being able to see the answer of your classmates. You classmates might find it helpful to read your answer, and it might be helpful for you to read the answers of your
classmates. Workshops, on the other hand, is a student-centered activity where you are to submit your own work about a topic or question, and then receive a number of submissions from other students which
you must assess anonymously according to the teacher's specifications.

c. Assignments
Assignments will be given for each topic. It may consist of essays summarizing what you have learned about a topic/sub-topic, or a discussion about a particular subject covered in the topic. It may also be in the
form of reports or term papers.

Page 6 of
d. Major Exams
The Major Exam is comprehensive, and covers all the course topics.

Grading Practices and Policies

a. All graded course requirements have corresponding submission or compliance deadlines. Students shall ensure that these deadlines are strictly followed.
b. Only submissions/compliance within the deadline will be graded. Opportunity for submission/compliance beyond the deadline will be given to students with valid reasons. Please inform your instructor if
this is the case.
c. Short quizzes that are given after each topic/sub-topic can be attempted by the student only once. In some instances, the Instructor may allow the student to have multiple attempts. A score of 60% or higher
must be obtained in order to pass the short quiz. For multiple attempts, only the highest score will be recorded.
d. For graded workshops, a common rubric will be utilized during peer assessment to ensure fairness.
e. For reports, term papers, essays and the like, a rubric will be utilized during grading.
f. Students may request to take make-up exams or quizzes by sending a formal request (please indicate date in the request) via e-mail to the Instructor. Proof or evidence (e.g., scanned or photo of medical
certificate) indicating the reason of missing the exam or quiz should be included in the request.
g. Students may request re-grading of any course requirement by sending a formal request via e-mail to the Instructor. (please indicate date in the request).
h. Students can view their progress and their scores on each graded course requirement through the course’ LMS page. A separate official class record indicating the General Weighted Average or the Mean
Percent Score (MPS) will also be provided to the students.
i. ©© An “INC” is given only to a student whose class standing throughout the semester is passing but:
i. fails to take major examination due to a valid reason; or
ii. fails to complete all requirements for the course due to a valid reason; or
iii. fails to conduct any of the laboratory exercises and submit the corresponding outputs/reports/worksheets.
j. © A student whose final MPS falls at 55.00 to below 60.00 shall be subject to instructor’s evaluation. A removal examination may or may not be given. Passing the removal examination will give the student
a final grade of 3.00. Failing it will mean a final grade of 5.0. The result shall not be used to improve the final MPS of the student.
