CLASS POLICIES:

The following policies will be observed during the class throughout the entire semester:

1. The students will use the Instructional Materials crafted by their instructor/professor
that are intended for their course learning.

2. Students need to comply with the submission of course activities and other learning
assessment tools assigned to them in every discussion.

3. Learners must minimize disruptions and/or interference during live online

(synchronous) lecture class (if any).

4. If the government will allow face-to-face classes for laboratory purposes, students
are expected to religiously follow the rules in proper disinfection, social distancing, and
handling and/or use of laboratory devices and/or equipment.

5. Students are responsible for whatever is taken up during the class, in the case of
either using modules and/or adopting flexible learning. Read and study the modules to
comply with the activities set by the instructor/professor. In the case of online classes,
students have the option to attend live online classes (synchronous) and/or watch
recorded course videos. However, class attendance during live online classes is not a
requirement for grading, for not every student has a stable internet connection. Note
that every student must not be left behind; every student needs to learn successfully
even in these trying times.

6. Students are free to choose to study the course in a manner, time, and place that
suit them best, provided that they will still comply with their activity submissions.

7. Students can chat, send SMS or call their instructor/professor if they have questions
regarding their lessons. It is highly encouraged to ask them during their consultation
hours.

8. Other rules and regulations about discipline and conduct of students as specified in
the University Student Handbook shall be applied.*
