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-unitcourse.
Students incurring more than 9 hours of unexcused absences
automatically gets a failing grade regardless of class standing.
b. Submission of Assessment Tasks
Late submissions of design reports will not be accepted.
c. Written Examination
The final examination will be the summative assessment of the COs and will
cover all topics of the course.
d. Course Portfolio
Selected design reports and examinations are to be compiled and collected
before the end of the term. The selection is based on statistical data gathering
(lowest, median, and highest). Learning tasks 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.

Honor, Dress and Grooming Codes

All of us have been instructed on the Dress and Grooming Codes of the Institute.
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 on written
work and no cheating on exams. Proper citation must be given to authors
whose works were used in the process of developing instructional materials and
learning in this course. If a student is caught cheating on an exam, he or she
will be given zero mark for the exam. If a student is caught cheating twice, the
student will be referred to the Prefect of Student Affairs and be given a failing
grade.
