16. Course Policies

1. Student shall report to the class on time. Should there be any absence made due to
illness, the student is required to submit a medical certificate or an excuse letter
signed by the parent or guardian. However, three consecutive tardiness is equivalent
to one absence. It is necessary for the student to provide a 3x5 index card with the
name of the student, schedule, and subject.
2. Assignments and projects shall be submitted on or before the set deadline. Late
papers shall not be accepted to be fair with everyone.
3. A copy of a rubric will be given to the students for their perusal as to how their material
and activities shall be graded.
4. The schedule of quizzes will be unannounced, so there will be no special quizzes that
will be given to those who were absent.
5. Participation in class discussions is required. Silence must be observed when a
classmate or a teacher is speaking. Respect to others and our differences is a basic
component of human civilization.
6. Pointers shall be given in preparation for the major examinations.
7. A grade of INC will be given to a student who failed to submit one requirement and
must be accomplished in one year only.
8. For the computation of the GWA, 50% from the midterm grade shall be added with the
pre-final grade.
