XIII. Classroom Management

Lecture notes & Supplementary materials: Please be aware that the lecture notes (which will be made available in advance in Google Classroom) provide the minimum information
required for you to pass the course. It is expected that you will supplement these notes with readings from the course text book and other supplementary material referred/ provided by the
Instructor.

Conduct of Classes. In the events that classes are suspended, students are required to read in advance all course materials scheduled for that week which will be made posted and made
available in Google Classroom

Communication. You will be given access to the personal email of the instructor and the Google classroom corresponding to the course so that all appropriate course work, announcements
and concerns can appropriately be transmitted throughout the semester.

Attendance: One percent will be deducted for each class missed. You will be counted absent / late for a class or lab (however you may still attend the class) based on the rules stipulated
by the college for student absences and tardiness. If you are absent for exceeding the maximum allowable number of absences (i.e. ≥25% of the classes and labs) you will be awarded
dropped from the course for unauthorized absences. Recommendations will be made by the College for authorized absences accordingly as individual cases may apply.

Quizzes: There will be 3 long examinations, a Preliminary Examination, a Mid-term examination, and a Final written conducted for the purpose of Continuous Assessment, once the units
specified are completed. If you miss a quiz/ exam without a valid excuse you will not be allowed to repeat the quiz. If you miss a quiz/ lab exam with a valid excuse, an exam will be given
accordingly using a specified date and time.

Assignments: For facilitating self-directed learning, students are required to read the topics for assignments in detail prior to the discussion conducted by the instructor in the class room.
Written Assignments which are required to be submitted should not be a copy and paste from texts, internet or other sources. Please read your source, understand and then write your own
statements in the paper. Appropriate referencing should be followed. Handwritten assignments will not be accepted. Reading assignments material/ source will be provided by the instructor
if required. The topics and dates for submission will be announced later.

Final Examination: Details of the preliminary, midterm and final examination will be announced in weeks 6,12 and 18 of the course; it will typically be of 2 hours’ duration. The examination
will consist of Multiple-Choice Questions, True or False questions, Identification, matching type, short-answer type questions. The exam will be scheduled by the College and will take place
during the examination period in weeks 6, 12 and 18 as scheduled by the college unless postponed due to some unforeseen calamities, events or circumstances.

Academic Misconduct: In a small number of cases there are students who are tempted to gain an unfair advantage in their assessments. This behaviour is considered unacceptable (for
further details see student handbook). These types of academic misconduct, which the College of Physical Therapy acknowledges and wishes to prevent are written in the student handbook.
The College will conduct an impartial investigation and the appropriate sanctions will be given based on the recommendations and results of the investigation.
