VII. Class Policies
Attendance:
Attendance sheets will be passed around and the student is responsible to sign to prove his
presence for that session. This is to monitor whether absences incurred by the student is still
within the allowed number of absences for a course stipulated in the Student Handbook. The
only valid excuses for missing exam are illness requiring medical care or personality/family
emergency of a serious nature. For such, valid medical certificate and parent’s/guardian letter
will be required and subjected to verification.
Cooperative Learning:
The goal is to have everyone learn more than they would have working alone. Nevertheless,
individual work provides the foundation for productive and synergistic group work. Teams will
be formed, with three or four students per team. These will be used in two ways. First in class
discussion and reporting on assignment will be by group (whenever possible). Second problem
set assignment will be group activities but the submission of assignment outputs will be done
individually. Presentation of output will be done on a rotation bases all student will evaluate
themselves and their fellow group members with respect contributions to group function at
least twice during the semester. This evaluation will contribute to the class standing portion of
the course grade and will be used primarily in deciding borderline grades.
Academic Honesty Policy:
It is a part of your education to learn responsibility and self-discipline, particularly with regards
to academic honesty. The most important issue of academic honesty is cheating. Cheating is
defined to include an attempt to defraud, deceive or mislead the instructor in arriving at an
honest graded assessment. Plagiarism is a form of cheating that involves presenting as one’s
own work the ideas or work of another.

All portions of any test, project or finals exam submitted by you for a grade must be your own,
unless you are instructed to work collaboratively. Specific requirement will be described for
collaborative projects, but all work presented must be work of members of that group. Research
materials used must be properly cited. Cheating in a major course examination by a student will
entail a failing mark of F for the given course. Cheating, dishonesty or plagiarism in paper and
other works will entail zero (0) score for the said requirement.
