COMPUTER PROGRAMMING SY 2019-2020 April 15, 2019 Raymond B. Sedilla Dean Ariel Kelly D. Balan
 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

c. Written Examination

d. Course Portfolio

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 SOIT-Intramuros Faculty room. It is
recommended that the student first set an appointment to confirm the instructor’s availability.
