13.1. 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 6 hrs for a two-unit course. Students incurring more
than 6 hours of unexcused absences automatically gets a failing grade regardless of class
standing.

b. Submission of Assessment Tasks

Assessment tasks consist of Examination and Learning Task. Learning Task are activities to
supplement the lecture discussion, usually a set of problems the students need to solve and
present to the class. The students find their problems to solve. The problems will be presented
by group. Each group needs to submit a hardcopy (written or printed) of the learning task. The
learning tasks will be graded based on the presentation and correctness of the solution. Late
submissions of learning tasks will not be accepted.

 c. Written Examinations
There will be 4 long written examinations covering the four major clusters of topics. The final
examination will cover all topics of the course. Test booklet will be used as answer sheet on all
written examinations. All exams are announced. There will be no make-up exams. For those
who missed an exam, the equivalent grade in the final examination will be applied as the grade
in that missed exam. A grade of zero will be given to the succeeding missed exams.

d. Course Portfolio
Selected problem sets 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 scanned
and compiled. The compilation must be place on a CD and be submitted 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.

g. Consultation Schedule
Consultation schedules with the Professor are posted outside the ChE-Chm Faculty room and
in the School’s web-page (http://che-chm.mapua.edu.ph). It is recommended that the student
first set an appointment to confirm the instructor’s availability.
