This works can be reproduce by Students who are currently enrolled the subject “only for their classroom
activities and not for their intention to sell or for whatever profit purposes”.
 a.1. Attendance are to be checked twice or more times for a
given period of one meeting and points interpolated for
grading consideration. And …. x …. x …. three consecutive
absences means ►►►… ►►► Dropped…

a.2. When it is necessary that a student be absent from a

class, courtesy requires that he must
submit an evidenced letter of
explanation to the instructor

concerned duly noted by the

Office of the Dean of the Colleges of

Engineering. However, no credit

may be received in the course
where the number of absences

(regardless of the reasons)

exceeds twenty percent (20%)
of the actual total class hours, in
any courses of study .

 a.3. In case of absence from any scheduled Major

student organizations should be closely monitored and
supervised by the intra-instructor or faculty adviser. The
pr4oceedings of regular and especial meetings should be

 b.3. It is the student’s obligation to maintain neatness of
his Activity/Plate which will be dealt with accordingly or
proportionately to earned points in the Participation,
GMRC, AND Positive values at the discretion of the intra-
instructor of the subject.

b.4. Activity/Plate must be prepared independently and

innovatively, by the concerned student, however, through
prescribed and/or accepted academic and technical
engineering norms and standards.

course, noted by the Dean and the corresponding intra-
instructor of the Department prior to going through the

 Engineering Skills, mental
analytical ability, and
facility of decision making .
This implies that the student has to take
responsibility of his own learning; he has to develop
an independent of thought and action.

He should realize that:

c.1.1. The subject belongs to him and
success in it rest largely in “his”;
c.1.2. He must enter into discussion
enthusiastically;

c.1.3. He must relate his experiences freely

and correlatively;

c.1.4. He must relatively show off all things

(ideas) he thinks;

c.1.5. He must take the floor only when

recognized and never talk privately
with someone else while the

“official business” is on;

c.1.6. He must give respect due to other

student member of his class, such

c.2.3. To make the students” so

wise as a serpent , but
harmless as a dove” with
critical but open mind .

d. Reading Ability
The general objective here is to develop the student’s

technically fluence and

eloquence on engineering perspectives which will
be made more prevalent through proper and correct
reading modulations to letters, words, and phrases in the
subject matters.

 e. Assignments:

e.1. Assignment are employed to optimize some

objectives of the subject matter which is certain for
course enrolled;

e.2. Assignment maximizes student’s transiency in the

world of a given case, thus, conceptual ordered
crystallization of knowledge from complex and
indeterminate generalization and pluralization to
simple and determinate particularization,
secularization or specific singularization are
optimized;

e.3. Assignment allows students to confer with intra

professional experts objectively and proactively;

e.4. Assignment are to be neatly prepared and

rationalized and, of course, submitted on or before
deadline for credit points, otherwise, debit points;

f. Quizzes:

f.1. Quizzes are to be given at random and more

frequently when attendance is less;

f.2. Students must bring all needed facilities at all times,

such as, yellow pad with their names in each page,
technical pen [(0.2) or (0.1)►►► Steadler Pen],

 [(0.4) ►►► G Tech Pen], Scientific Calculator(not
less than fx-100 and a Scientific Reference Book- at
least one each as required; etc.) ----- failure to bring
all these requirements at times shall be dealt with
accordingly, and of course, sure credit points are
pegged in on the grading consideration is at stake
for those who brings and no credit points for those
who don’t.

f.3. Students shall not cheat nor

commit any form of dishonesty
in relation with his studies . He
should be guided by the highest
principles of honor, justice and
courtesy not by passive
observance, but as a proactive

f.4. Observing “silence” is the first rule of any

educational crisis .
xxxx……… If there is any conclusion that can be
drawn from our recent experience , it is that
we are now spending more money for less
education .
xxx…xxx… The present quality of school
achievement is far below that of 1925 .

dedication →►►► that makes a good school [{and
makes excellent achievers (emphasis mine)}]”
