13.1 Other Course Policies

a. Attendance
According to CHED policy, total number of absences by the students should not be more than
20% of the total number of meetings or 9 hrs for a three-unit-course (6 meetings). Students
incurring more than 9 hours of unexcused absences automatically gets a failing grade regardless
of class standing.

b. Submission of Assessment Tasks (Student Outputs) should be on time; late submittal of

coursework’s will not be accepted. If you have a justifying circumstance, it must be discussed
and a decision made before the due date or it is due when the assignment is due. Copied

 works/tasks or any required material to be submitted in the class are strictly prohibited and
found guilty will be considered as cheating as well.

c. Major Examination (Long Quiz for both written and on-line and Final Exam) will be administered
as scheduled. No special exam will be given unless with a valid reason subject for approval of
the Chairman of the Mathematics Department. Furthermore, students of this course are
required to participate actively in the events/activities organized for this course.

d. Guidelines for Taking On-Line Exams (in-campus)

1. Students are required to bring their own computer equipments, eg, Laptop, NetBook;
and students must ensure that their gadgets are fully functioning and batteries are
fully charged before the exam. Tablets, such as iPads and Android Tablets, are not
recommended for use in online examinations.
2. Students are required to submit written solutions of their answers in the online
examination using BIG test booklet with lines.
3. Students are highly recommended to bring their own source of internet connection,
eg., Broadband Sticks, Portable/Pocket WiFi Connections, Mobile Hotspots. The use
of the Mapua WiFi Service might cause the student delays connecting to the internet.
4. During the period of exam, a student is only allowed to use a single browser, in its
most recent updated version and as recommended by Wiley.PLUS. The student may
opt to use Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, Rockmelt, Internet Explorer as
his/her browser, or any internet-browsing software. Entering into private
sessions/windows and/or having multiple active sessions/tabs is strictly prohibited.
5. For Google Chrome users, if problems should arise, such as the failure of the loading
of exam questions and/or digital images in the WileyPlus examination, the student
may right-click-select the frame/pane of the exam question and choose the “reload
frame” option.
6. The use of softwares/applications other than the student's browser during the exam
is prohibited. The use of softwares/applications not categorized as browsers, such as
MS Excel, MATLab, Algebrator, Adobe Reader, PhotoViewer, and the like, is not
allowed and will be considered cheating.
7. Access to websites other than WileyPlus.com is not allowed. Access to online solvers
such as WolframAlpha, search engines, and third-party websites will be considered
cheating.
8. The use of gadgets, other than the student's computer machine, such as cellphones,
tablets, and the like, during the exam is not allowed.
9. Talking during the exam is not allowed. Students are to focus solely on their monitor
screens and solution papers. Clarifications should be addressed directly to the
teacher in charge.
10. Students are not allowed to print-screen or save the exam questions, or any
portion/part of the exam.
11. Strict checking of attendance will be done before and after the exam. Students who
send another person (ringer) in lieu of their presence will be considered cheating.
Thus, students should take the exam on his/her assigned classroom not anywhere
else.
12. Students are required to come on time in their respective classes for the exam will
open exactly during their respective class periods and close automatically at the end
of the class period. It is suggested to finish the exam at least 5 minutes earlier to
ensure that the exams will be sent to Wiley.PLUS administrators before the due time.
13. Lastly, the professor will not be held responsible if technical problems should arise,
such as loss of internet connection, machine malfunction, loss of battery charge and
others.

 e. Course Portfolio will be collected at the end of the quarter. Lost documents will not be given
due credit.

f. Language of Instruction
Lectures, discussion, and documentation will be in English. Written and spoken work may
receive a lower mark if it is, in the opinion of the instructor, deficient in English.

g. Honor, Dress and Grooming Codes

All of us have been instructed on the Dress and Grooming Codes of the Institute. We have all
committed to obey and sustain these codes. It will be expected in this class that each of us will
honor the commitments that we have made.

For this course the Honor Code is that there will be no plagiarizing on written work and no
cheating on exams. Proper citation must be given to authors whose works were used in the
process of developing instructional materials/class produced reviewers/design projects/video
clips and learning in this course. If a student is caught cheating on an exam by his instructor or
substitute teacher, he or she will be given zero mark for the exam. If a student is caught cheating
twice on the same course, the student will be referred to the Prefect of Student Affairs and be
given a failing grade.

Grave misconduct other than cheating will likewise be given a failing grade. Disrespect to your
teacher or to others in the classroom will not be tolerated in the least. Argument is great but
bullying, fighting, mocking, and demeaning the teacher or other students will not be allowed.
Come to class on time, there can be mitigating circumstances from time to time but if it becomes
a chronic behavior you may lose points or credit for the class.

h. Consultation Schedule
Consultation schedules with the Professor are posted outside the Math Faculty room and in the
School’s web-page (http://che-chm.mapua.edu.ph). It is recommended that the student first
set an appointment to confirm the instructor’s availability.
