Class Policy Information for Students

1. Attendance: Students are expected to attend classes regularly in accordance with the current USIU Calendar
attendance policy. Lab attendance is mandatory.
2. Class Conduct: Students are expected to act professionally during class. Respect your instructors and your
fellow students. Be considerate to others. Students are required to attend all classes on time and should not
enter the classroom 15 minutes after the class’ scheduled starting time. If you have to leave the class early,
please inform the instructor before the class begins. Please sit near the door and exit quietly. If you fail to
4
 inform the instructor before you leave, no credit will be given for your class attendance. Please observe the
following class rules when the class is in session:
 Do not talk to your fellow students unless in class work discussions
 Do not read newspaper or magazine
 Do not use your hand phone (please turn off your hand phone and beeper)
 Do not eat or drink in class
 Do not leave the class without permission
Any violation of these class rules will be subject to point reduction (e.g., 1 points for each violation) and
possible dismissal from the class.
3. Course Outline Changes: The material specified in this course outline may be changed by the instructor. If
changes are required, they will be announced in class by the instructor.
4. Illness: A doctor's note is required for any illness causing you to miss an assignment, quiz, test, or exam. At the
discretion of the instructor, you may be allowed to complete the work missed or have the work prorated, (i.e., an
average is given according to your performance throughout the course).
5. Makeup Tests, Exams or Quizzes: All tests/exams/quizzes must be taken at the time scheduled. There will in
general be no makeup tests, exams or quizzes. If you miss a test, exam or quiz, you will in general receive zero
marks. Exceptions may be made for documented medical reasons or extenuating circumstances, but you must
notify your instructor within 24 hours, preferably in advance of the test/quiz/exam. Any evaluations not made up
or prorated will receive a grade of 0. No more than 20% of the course evaluation may be prorated or missed,
otherwise an incomplete or failure will be assessed.
6. A Mid-Semester Examination (20 points)
The mid-term examination will be closed book and closed notes. No make-up examination will be given.
Students missing the midterm exam will have the mid term grading weights shifted to the final.
7. A Comprehensive Final Examination (20 points) The final examination will be closed book and closed
notes. It covers all the chapters with heavier emphasis on those chapters covered after the mid-term
examination.
8. Academic Dishonesty
The University Regulations on academic dishonesty will be strictly enforced. Please check the
9. Academic dishonesty & ethics
9.1 Ethics: USIU assumes that all students attending the University will follow a high standard of ethics.
Incidents of cheating or plagiarism will be dealt with in accordance with USIU's Conduct and Attendance Policy
in the calendar and may result in a grade of zero for the assignment, quiz, test, exam, or project for all parties
involved and/or expulsion from the course.
Academic dishonesty is behavior in which a deliberately fraudulent misrepresentation is employed in an
attempt to gain undeserved intellectual credit, either for oneself or for another. It includes, but is not
necessarily limited to, the following types of cases:
9.2 Plagiarism - The representation of someone else's ideas as if they are one's own. Where the
arguments, data, designs, etc., of someone else are being used in a paper, report, oral presentation,
or similar academic project, this fact must be made explicitly clear by citing the appropriate
references. The references must fully indicate the extent to which any parts of the project are not
one's own work. Paraphrasing of someone else's ideas is still using someone else's ideas, and
must be acknowledged.
9.2.1 Unauthorized Collaboration on Out-of-Class Projects - The representation of work as solely one's
own when in fact it is the result of a joint effort or other peoples effort.
9.2.2 . Cheating on In-Class Exams - The covert gathering of information from other students, the use of
unauthorized notes, unauthorized aids, etc.
9.2.3. Unauthorized Advance Access to an Exam - The representation of materials prepared at leisure, as a
result of unauthorized advance access (however obtained), as if it were prepared under the rigors of the exam
setting. This misrepresentation is dishonest in itself even if there are not
compounding factors, such as unauthorized uses of books or notes. Where a candidate for a degree or other
award uses the work of another person or persons without due acknowledgement:

5
 (a)The relevant disciplinary committee may impose a penalty in relation to the seriousness of the
offence;
(b)The relevant Examiners may report the candidate to the academic council, where there is prima
facie evidence of an intention to deceive and where sanctions beyond those in (a) might be invoked.

Course Evaluation
There will be at least five assignments, three quizzes, project, one mid-semester and one final examination. Assignments
are due one week after being activated in the E-Learning platform and late submission will attract 25% for every
subsequent lesson.
