IV. COURSE REQUIREMENTS
a. Class Number (CN)

A class number will be given to each student. This should be written at the upper right corner of
any individual class requirement.
b. Student Information Card

Each student is required to submit a 3” x 5” index card on 22 January 2016 (Friday). The
index card must contain the following information:
CN: 01

Person to contact in case of emergency:

Juana G. Dela Cruz (Mother)
0917-222-777
(Write your schedule for 2nd semester AY 2015-2016 at the back of the index card.)
c. Seatwork, homework, quizzes, and problem sets

Each student is required to submit answer sheets a day before the exam.
Formative and assessment types of seatwork, homework, quizzes, and problem sets will be
given in class. The former may be unannounced quizzes while the latter will be given as
scheduled (see part III). Formative quizzes will not be recorded but will be used to assess areas
that need improvement. Seatwork, homework, quizzes and problem sets may be done by pair
or by group as designed by the instructor. The teacher also reserves the right to modify the
assessment tool while maintaining the objective of assessing the learnings of the student from
the prescribed scope.
d. Project
Groups of two to three members will design a composite wall system following the heat
transfer requirements of a proposed application. Guidelines for this project will be uploaded in
UVLE module for the class. Your performance in this activity will be graded based on the write-

up and your input as rated by your groupmates. A peer evaluation form will be provided for
rating which will then serve as a multiplier to the student’s project grade. Project write-up should
be submitted by 25 May 2016 (Wednesday), 5pm.
e. Long exams and Final exam

These will be given as scheduled (see part III). There will be three (3) written departmental
long examinations and one (1) final examination for this course. Final exam is required; no
exemptions will be given.
Kindly submit four (4) sets of 10 sheets of YELLOW paper and three (3) pieces of graphing
paper not later than 22 January 2016 (Friday), with the following information written on the
upper right corner: class number, student’s name, student number and section. Failure to
comply will merit a five-point deduction in each exam.
Any corrections in checking must be addressed to the checker not later than a week after the
results of the examinations were returned.
f. My learning portfolio
All output (e.g. seatwork, homework, quizzes, long examinations, final examination, project,
etc) must be scanned, compiled as a PDF file, and submitted through the on-line group not later
than 30 May 2016 (Monday). Submission folders will be made available in the on-line group for
each activity. Checklist of submission will also be provided for your guidance. Should you need
assistance in scanning, you may seek assistance from the Administration Office.
Include the following table as summary of performance:

Failure to submit this portfolio may be accounted as an academic deficiency which could serve
as grounds to tag you as INELIGIBLE for next semester’s registration period.
g. Scientific calculator
The student is expected to bring his/her scientific calculator at all times. Borrowing from your
classmates is highly discouraged especially during quizzes. Your calculator should be able to
perform operations such as definite integration, performing Newton-Raphson for solving
complex equations (the Shift-Solve function of some calculator) and solving systems of
equations (at least fx-570MS).

V. GRADING SYSTEM
a. Grading will be done on a point-distribution basis.

grade as follows:

88 ≤ GA < 92 1.25 68 ≤ GA < 72 2.50
84 ≤ GA < 88 1.50 64 ≤ GA < 68 2.75
80 ≤ GA < 84 1.75 60 ≤ GA < 64 3.00
76 ≤ GA < 80 2.00 GA < 60 5.00
VI. CLASS POLICIES
a. Attendance and tardiness

Attendance will be checked every meeting. Arriving 20 mins after the class has started will mark
the student absent. Students accumulating six (6) absences will be (a) given a grade of 5.0 if
majority of the absences are unexcused, or (b) dropped from the course if majority of the
absences are excused. An absence is considered excused if a medical certificate from the
University Health Service is presented or if death in the immediate family member is
supplemented by a death certificate.
b. Dropping
A student is considered officially dropped upon submission of the instructor’s copy of the duly
accomplished dropping slip. A student who has dropped the course but fails to submit the
instructor’s copy at least two (2) weeks before the last day of classes (19 May 2016, Thursday)
will be given a grade of 5.0.
c. Submission of class requirements
You are encouraged to submit requirements way ahead of the deadline. For time reference,
make sure to indicate time of submission using the time stamper at the Administration Office for
submissions made in hardcopy. Time stamp should be made on the 1st page of the seatwork,
homework, quiz or problem set. Submissions should be placed inside the instructor’s
pigeonhole. Late submission will be given a grade of zero.
For submissions made through on-line group, submission folders will automatically close and
will no longer receive submissions after the prescribed deadline.
d. Use of electronic devices and classroom etiquette

1. Tablets and laptops may be used in class only if these are used to support your learning;
however, using these for entertainment or requirements of other classes will forfeit your
privilege of using them in class.
2. Mobile phones may be used occasionally as long as:
i. The phone is kept in silent mode;
ii. The phone is used discreetly; and

iii. Calls are not received in the classroom.
3. Students are expected to actively participate in discussion and learning activities, as well as,
raise questions and make clarifications immediately; learning can be a collaborative effort
but disruptive noise, language and gestures are discouraged.
4. Drinks and finger food are allowed in class as long as food and containers are disposed of
properly.
5. You are encouraged to take down notes. Should there be slideshows, these will only contain
keywords and visuals. Note down important points during the discussions, even when
they’re not shown in the presentation.
e. Makeup exam
In case of a missed exam, the “double the final exam score” will be implemented provided a
valid excuse with supporting document is presented. Else, the student will be given a grade of
zero for the missed exam. A valid excuse is qualified as either death of immediate family
member, confinement due to a serious medical condition, or representing the college/ university
in competitions. Only one examination will be excused in this manner.
f. Academic integrity
It is expected that the student follow the highest principles of academic honesty. Any form of
work that will be submitted should be their own or should have the work of others
clearly documented and acknowledged.
Academic integrity is expected from all as students of the University. Any form of academic
dishonesty, which includes but is not limited to cheating (including letting someone copy your
paper, plagiarism, forging of letters, usage of “old testaments”, etc.) will merit an automatic
grade of 5.0 and will warrant submission of an incident report by the instructor. The submitted
incident report will initiate the University procedure on these matters.
Students are also encouraged to report acts of academic dishonesty through a signed
written letter or email. The Instructor commits to uphold the privacy of the parties involved in the
best way possible while elevating the matter to the Student Disciplinary Council (SDC) of the
University.
g. Consultation
All consultations will only be done during consultation hours. Prior notice through email will be
highly appreciated. However, once you have made the appointment, please ensure that you
come to avoid any inconvenience.
h. Special services
If you are a student with special needs and require accommodations, you must be registered
with the University’s Office of Counselling and Guidance (OCG). Students must provide current
documentation to OCG which identifies their special needs and need for accommodation(s).
Students must meet instructors with appropriate notification from OCG of the approved
accommodation as early in the semester as possible. You may learn more about the services of
the Office of Counselling and Guidance by visiting its office.
