ULTIMATE TRANS GUIDELINES
1. SCHEDULING
a. A trans group must submit a hard copy and an uploaded copy of the lecture assigned to them 2 days after the
said lecture (e.g. Histology and FCM trans should be given and uploaded by Thursday)
a1. For those assigned to Thursday lectures (Biochemistry), the hard copy can be distributed by Monday but
the soft copy should be uploaded by Sunday
a2. For those assignet to Wednesday lectures, hard copy may be distributed by Monday but the soft copy
should be uploaded by Saturday
b. In cases of emergency (power outage, typhoons) and classes were not held, it will be the assigned trans group’s
responsibility to borrow or ask trans and powerpoint presentations of the missed lectures from other sections.

day until they have provided both hard and soft copies of the trans. Moreover, they will carry the responsibility
of paying for the hard copies of the whole class and there will be no reimbursement of printing and photocopy
expenses.

b. If the file uploaded will be with “.docx” format, a “.doc” format of the same file should also be uploaded.
c. Uploading of the “.pdf” format of the file is optional but it is highly recommended to upload using this format to
avoid minor changes on the file.
d. Materials should all be uploaded on the multiply account: http://plmcm2014d.multiply.com
