English is the medium of instruction. Lectures, discussiont and documentation will be in English. Code switching ts highly
discouraged and the use ofother languages aside from EnSlish in communicating and in presenting course works will be a valid
ground for demerits in that given exercise.
ATTENDANCE
Per Sectlon 1551 of CHED's Manual of Regulations for Private Educational Institutions, a student who has incurred absences more
than twenty percent (20%) of the total number of school days shall not be given credit to the course regardless of class standing.
For further provisions of the said policy, please refer to the MCL Student Gtalogue.

HOMEWORK. WRITTEN REPORTSAND REACTION PAPERS

All homework and other assigned coursework must be submitted on time.
COURSE PORTFOLIO

Allexercises and requirements for the cou.se are to be compiled by the students as part oftheir portfolio. The same must be
made available for inspection by the Inshuctor before the end ofthe term
HONOR. DRESS. AND GROOMI'{G COOE
Other provisions stipulated in the MCL Student catalogue will be enforced in and out of the classroom. Students who have
violated the dress code policy and other related offenses will not be permitted to attend classes without being cleared by the
Student Affairs Oftice or the Guidance Office.
