NOTES:
A. Attendance:
a.1. Attendances are to be checked twice or more times for a given period of one meeting
and points interpolated for grading consideration. And 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 Examination, the absent student shall
be given a grade of “Incomplete” or “INC”, “No Grade or NG”, or “65” as his Final Grade.
a.4. All extra meetings and extracurricular activities of any student organizations should
be closely monitored and supervised by the intra-instructor or faculty adviser. The pr4oceedings
of regular and especial meetings should be made on the records. Class hours should not be
utilized for any extra meetings and extracurricular activities and other any organizational
functions – hence, absences due them may not be countenance or considered valid.

activities and not for their intention to sell or for whatever profit purposes”.
B. Activity/Plate:
b.1. Activity/Plate are to be prepared neatly and entered a prescribed format.
b.2. Activity/Plate are to be submitted on or before deadlines to earned credit points.
Submissions after the deadlines has no credit points for the grading consideration but only
interpreted as “Compliance of the requirements only to prevent deficiencies in the grading sheet.
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.
b.5. When Activity/Plate requires gathering and/or collecting data from the outside of the
school campus, students must first secure approval from the DSA, and of course, noted by the
Dean and the corresponding intra-instructor of the Department prior to going through the field.
And at all times, all field works and/or activities, must observed proper communication decorum
(properly documented) internally and to form as part of the Activity’s/Plate’s requirements to be
incorporated in the submission of the compilation of Activity/Plate and marked as “Annexes”.
C. Oral Participation:
c.1. The emphasis on the student’s participation is on the development of his Diagnostic
and/or Prognostic Technical 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.

NOTE FOR THE SCHOLARS AND FOR ALL OTHER STUDENTS:

Kinahanglang nga walay magsabasaba sulod sa classroom aron dili mo mangaangin
tanan. Unya kinahanglan gyud nga mag himo mo ug maayong mga questions para sa subject
ug manggi-answer pud mo ug manggi- questions para ma measure nako pag-ayo inyong mga
natural abilities para sa pagdagko pud sa inyong mga grado. Dili puede inyong mga grado poros
hinangyoan. kay maka-inferior na sa inyong mga kalidad bilang future Engineers.
Improve your GMRC and Positive Values kay 20 points naman gud na kaayo ug 25 points
pud ang inyong Participation in the forms of Questioning and Answering. Dayon ang Classroom
Activities kay 15 Points pud and 30 points pud ang inyong Attendance. So, kung wala mo ana
tanan nga mga 90 Points pud segurado na nga inyong mga grado hulog na daan oi or mga
gagmay gyud kaayo ba.

development welfare is not compromised.

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. Assignments 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) Stadler 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 abider at all times, even outside the school premises.
f.4. Observing “silence” is the first rule of any examinations. It must provide quite
surroundings idle and private conversation, loud laughter and other noises are nuisances and
must be avoided and to be dealt with accordingly and proportionately debited from grading
consideration, particularly to the “attendance” and “Oral Participation” aspects.

Accounting Office.
g.2. Special Examinations shall be deal with only in accordance with the school policies
and be in the proper communication decorum (approved request with corresponding required
payment to take up especial examination, etc.).
g.3. A grade of 69 in the final consideration is “Failed” while 70 to 74 are considered
“Conditional”, subject to compliance of Activities, Plates, and Assignment requirements to
removal examinations, and requirements, of course, with prior written and approved request
through the Dean, DSA, Registrar, as the case maybe, when grades had already been submitted
to the Registrar’s Office. However, nothing is going to be entertained seven days or one week

Aims and Objectives of SMC

Southern Mindanao Colleges endeavors to enable students to develop their capacity and skills
in:
• Exercising the privileges and responsibilities of democratic citizenship.
• Developing a set of sound moral and spiritual values to guide his life.
• Expressing his thought clearly in ‘riting, reading, rhetorical responses (emphasis is mine),
and listening with comprehensive understanding.
• Using the basic mathematical and mechanical skills necessary in everyday life.
• Using the critical thinking in solving problems, making decisions, and discriminating
among values.
• Understanding and approaching his cultural heritage so that he may gain a true
perspective of his time and place in the world; and
• Understanding his interactions with his biological and physical environment so that he
may adjust to and/or improve that environment.
Points to Ponder
The fact was that according to American standards we were then a Nation First Graders and as
is well known, American standards are one or more grades behind European standards, we
have not actually gone beyond the first grade. It is really an educational crisis. 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. The present quality of school achievement is far below that of 1925.
After all it is the teacher and student emphasis mine his intelligence, imagination, and dedication
that makes a good school and makes excellent achievers’ emphasis mine. Literacy without
Competence is Useless; and without Character (misplaced confidence), is often dangerous.”\
