14. 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. Coursera Course Completion. The students are required to attain a passing mark and complete the Coursera
courses to pass this course.

c. Guided Learning Output. Guided learning outputs through various worksheets in each clusters of topics are
assigned to the students. Problems encountered in the worksheets will be discussed in class.

d. Course Portfolio. Selected guided learning outputs and examinations are to be compiled and collected before the
end of the term. The selection is based on statistical data gathering (lowest, median, highest). Guided learning
outputs and examinations with marks lowest, median, and highest must be photocopied and must be given back
to the instructor for course portfolio keeping.

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. Academic Integrity Policy. It is the student’s responsibility to refrain from infractions of academic integrity, from
conduct that may lead to suspicion of such infractions, and from conduct that aids others in such infractions. Any
of the following sanctions may be imposed to any student who is found guilty of committing online academic
dishonesty:
1. Failed mark in the course
2. Suspension for a period of less than one term, with or without community service
3. Suspension for a period of one term or more, with or without community service
4. Non-readmission to the University
5. Dismissal from the University
6. Expulsion

The following are considered academic dishonesty:

 1. Using another MyMapua email address to login to any platform (such as BlackBoard and Coursera) with
or without permission. Asking or hiring someone else to do their exams, homework, Coursera course,
papers, projects or other academic requirements.
2. Recording and saving copies of exam questions or answers, or answer keys for distribution.
3. Receiving copies of exam questions or answers, or answer keys to an exam from someone who has
already taken it.
4. Plagiarizing or the unethical act of stealing the thoughts of another without proper citation or reference,
acquiring information from the Internet without acknowledging the author, copying from another student’s
work without permission and submitting it as own work.
5. Massive, pre-meditated, organized online cheating using instant messaging/email during a quiz or exam.
6. Any form of dishonesty in peer-reviewed assignments/submissions (e.g. Coursera peer-graded
submissions).
7. Engaging in any activities that will dishonestly improve results, or dishonestly improve or damage the
results of others.
8. Any other form of dishonesty or cheating in any assessment or course requirement.

All students who will violate the Academic Integrity Policy of the university will be given zero mark for the exam or
for the activity and will be given a failing grade for the course. He or she will also be referred to the Prefect of
Discipline for appropriate sanction.

g. Consultation Schedule. The consultation schedules of the Professor are posted outside the CBMES Faculty. 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.
