Course Policies: Commented [W5]: by College

1. Attendance sheet will be passed around and the student is responsible to sign to prove his/her presence for that sessions. This is to monitor whether absences incurred
by the student is still within the allowed number of absences for a course stipulated in the Student Handbook.
2. Excuse from the class will only be honoured if a Memo from the school is issued before the absence or valid excuse letter from parents/guardians is presented after the
absence. No other excuses will be entertained.

3. It is a part of your education to learn responsibility and self-discipline, particularly with regards to academic honesty. Cheating is defined to include an attempt to defraud,
deceive, or mislead the instructor in arriving at honest grade assessment. Plagiarism is a form of cheating that involves presenting as one’s own work the ideas or work of
another. Therefore, all portions of any test, project, or major examination submitted by you for a grade must be your own work, unless you are instructed to work
collaboratively. Cheating in a major course examination by a student will entail a failing mark for the given course. Plagiarism in papers and other works will entail zero
score for the said requirement.
4. The use of multiple choice questionnaires is used during the exams. However, detailed solution to the problem should be written legibly in a clean long size bond paper.
5. Laboratory exercises will be performed individually and the reports should be submitted individually. Laboratory exercises and computations should be hand written in the
Laboratory Manual using blue ink pen. For laboratory reports, include the date performed and the date submitted. The deadline for the laboratory reports will be one week
after performing the exercise.
6. Unsatisfactory project will not be accepted. However, the student/group will be given a chance to improve their project. Non-submission of the project on the set deadline
means an automatic final grade of 5.
7. Exemptions from taking the final examination are as follows: (1) No exam below 60%, (2) No missed quizzes/exams, (3) Laboratory reports are submitted on the specified
date, (4) The project is submitted on the specified deadline, and (5) Absences do not exceed the maximum allowed.
8. This class policy serves as our written agreement for the whole semester.
