 c. Written Examination. Written examinations are given as scheduled, covering the topics discussed within the
period. Special exams for missed ones may be given upon the discretion of the professor.

d. Course Portfolio. All exams and learning tasks shall be collected by the professor by the end of the quarter.

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. The Dress and Grooming Codes of the University will be in force.
Plagiarism and cheating will be dealt with in accordance with the Student Manual provided by the Office of
Student of Affairs.

g. Consultation Schedule. The consultation schedule of the professor will be posted outside the School of
Chemical, Biological, and Materials Engineering and Sciences Faculty room and in the School’s web-page (
http://che-chm.mapua.edu.ph ). It is recommended that the student first set an appointment to confirm the
instructor’s availability.

h. Appeal system
All appeals on student assessment must be made by the concerned student within one week after the return
of the assessed student work.
In case the student is not satisfied, no later than one week after the decision of the faculty has been made, he
can elevate the appeal to the program chair or dean in case there is no program chair. The decision of the
program chair or dean is final. The faculty must abide with the moderated decision of the program chair or
dean.
