9. Lifelong-Learning Opportunities
The course produces graduates with deeper understanding in the fundamental concepts of
architectural design, based on anthropometrics, ergonomics and architectural programming. The
exercises are meant to give them an opportunity to have a clear understanding of the complexities in
finding, analyzing and solving pragmatic design problems.
10. Contribution of Course to Meeting the Professional Component
The course produces graduates equipped with enough knowledge and experience needed in
coming up with design solutions. It also produces graduates with skills in written documentation and
oral and visual presentation- 100%

The grade of “5.00” for a course within the program of study shall disqualify a student from academic
scholarship and academic honors.
14. 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 hrs for a three-unit-course. Students incurring more
than 9 hours of unexcused absences automatically gets a failing grade regardless of class
standing
b. Guided Learning Output

Guided learning outputs through various worksheets in each clusters of topics are assigned to
the students. Problems encountered in the worksheets will be discussed in class.
c. Written Examination (if applicable)

There will be 1 written examinations covering the four intended COs. Students will be given
three (3) chances to take the exam (but with different point credit) and the highest score will be
considered. At the end of each take the solutions to the problems will be discussed. In the first
take a 100% equivalent score will be credited; 80% on the second take; and only 70% on the
third and last take. After each take, the grade of the students will be calculated and once they
are satisfied with their grade they have the option to not to take the other scheduled exam.
d. Course Portfolio
Selected guided learning outputs and examinations are to be compiled and collected before the
end of the term. The selection is based on statistical data gathering (lowest, median, highest).
Guided learning outputs and examinations with marks lowest, median, and highest must be
photocopied and must be given back to the instructor for course portfolio keeping.
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. Dress and Grooming Codes

All of us have been instructed on the Dress and Grooming Codes of the University.
g. Academic Integrity Policy
It is the student’s responsibility to refrain from infractions of academic integrity, from conduct that
may lead to suspicion of such infractions, and from conduct that aids others in such infractions.
Any of the following sanctions may be imposed to any student who is found guilty of committing
online academic dishonesty:
a. Failed mark in the course.
b. Suspension for a period of less than one term, with or without community service.
c. Suspension for a period of one term or more, with or without community service.
