Class Standards and Policies:

1. Every student enrolled in the class should wear proper attire according to the student dress code as stipulated in the student handbook. This includes
wearing the appropriate uniform and student I.D.
2. Tardiness is discouraged. However, late students are still encouraged to come to class. They should come silently i.e., they should not cause
disturbance and should occupy the back seats.
3. Each student should be sensitive to noise. No one should create unnecessary noise during the class. This includes unnecessary chatting, noise from
electronic gadgets, dragging of chairs, etc. (especially when someone is recognized talking). Irrelevant questions will not be entertained and is
strictly discouraged.
4. Each student should have the educational supply necessary for each meeting such as: yellow paper, problem set notes, lecture notes, ballpoint pen
and pencil. Everyone is discouraged from asking these materials from the classmates. Failure to submit to this rule entails unpreparedness and
irresponsibleness of the student.
5. Prior to the discussion, the chairs must be arranged, the room must be clean (no pieces of papers on the floor and there should be no writings left on
the board) and everyone should be in their seats.
6. Students should maintain academic integrity i.e., cheating and plagiarism are strictly discouraged.
7. Presence in every meeting (regular and remedial) is counted as 1 point in the Attendance. Absences of at least 20% of the total contact hours will be
a ground for a student to be dropped.
8. Exams should be taken on the scheduled date. However, especial exams can be awarded to those who have valid reasons.
9. Failure to comply any one of the course requirements except the attendance implies an INC grade.
