OTHER COURSE POLICIES

Title

Description

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 15 hours for this course.Student incurring more than
15 hours of unexcused absences automatically gets a failing
grade regardless of class standing.

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.

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.

Consultation Schedule

Consultation schedules with the Professor are posted outside the

ChE-Chm Faculty room and in the Schools web-page (
http://che-chm.mapua.edu.ph ). It is recommended that the
student first set an appointment to confirm the instructors
availability.

Examination

There will be 2 examinations equivalent to 20% each. Students

are allowed to take each examination up to two times should
they fail to score at least 80% in each attempt. Every time a
student fails, He/She will be required to attend a clinic class
prior to the next examination attempt. If he/she fails to score at
least 80% in the second attempt, the highest score that he/she
obtained in the two attempts will be recorded as his/her score for
that examination.

Worksheet

Students are required to answer all worksheet assigned per topic

as scheduled. The total score for the worksheets will be
equivalent to one examination, that is 20%.
