FINAL EXAMINATIONS
CLASS POLICY:
1. Students are expected to regularly check their email and google classroom to be aware of the materials/activity/assignments posted for the week and devote time to read
and work on their assigned activity. Announcements regarding class activities posted in Google Classroom will also be posted in chat room in messenger so students will be
updated easily.
2. At the end of each lesson, there are questions that will serve as daily attendance and students are required to respond. Their answers will be collected and will be given points
based on their timely reply and content. This will ensure that every student is reading the materials given to them and will serve as attendance.
3. Students must be mindful of the schedule. Problem sets, assigned activities and quizzes must be turned in on the date and time it is due. Late submission will have a
deduction of points.
4. There will be no make-up exams given to those who missed to take on schedule unless valid reason is given. Instead, the student will be given an INC mark if his/her
standing is passing.
5. Always observe proper decorum. Avoid unnecessary comments or posts on google classroom and during online (google meet/zoom) meetings so that important
announcements, and posts by the instructor can easily be seen by other students.
6. Cheating and/or plagiarism in any form is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. A score of zero for the test, examination or work in question (or a grade of 5.0 depending on
the gravity of the offense) will be given to students who are proven guilty of cheating and/or plagiarizing.
7. Be polite and professional in approaching the Instructor for some questions or clarifications. Students may consult their instructor through the following:
SMS: 09171259614
