9. Opportunities to Develop Lifelong Learning Skill

To develop lifelong learning skill, the primary learning outcome for this course is the Student’s Quantitative
Reasoning, which is to understand and apply the mathematical principles in Solid Mensuration that will provide
students with the needed working knowledge of advanced mathematical concepts and methods, and an awareness
of their relationship to increasingly complex world.

12.1. Other Course Policies

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

 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 faculty room and in the
Department’s web-page ( http://math.mapua.edu.ph ). It is recommended that the student first set
an appointment to confirm the instructor’s availability.
