school term:
Cou
Regular attendance and participation during the online discussion and collaborative group synchronous participation
rse

cy
The nature of the course calls for active class participation from every student either in synchronous or synchronous
activities. Critical thinking is enhanced. This criterion is to be monitored and evaluated by the faculty with.
Midterm and final examinations are announced. Midterm examination would cover topics/problems taken up before the
middle of the school term. The final examination can either cover the rest of the lessons or the whole course depending
on the wise judgment of the faculty.
Deadline of submission of all requirements/Quizzes,etc. are written in the course migration template/Course Calendar of
Activities. No late submission is allowed to enable the faculty to submit final grade on time in conformity with the
University policy.
