13.1. Other Course Policies

14.

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.

Submission of Assessment Tasks

Submission of students work should be on time. Late submittals will not be accepted.

c.

Written Examination
Long quizzes and final examination will be as scheduled. No special examination will be given unless for valid
reason subject to approval of the Department Chairman.

d.

Course Portfolio
Course portfolio will be collected at the end of the term.

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 faculty room and in the Departments web-page
(http://math.mapua.edu.ph). It is recommended that the student first set an appointment to confirm the
instructors availability.
