Attendance in class is | | | required. In Blended Learning | | | (combination of on-site and | | | online meetings), being present | | | in class also means that the | | | student submits all the answers | | | on the activities and | | | assignments arising from the | | | activities or tasks released by | | | the instructor. | | | | | | 2\. Each student must have an | | | official Gmail account and FB | | | Messenger account to be able to | | | participate in any classroom | | | activities, both online and | | | on-site. It is expected that | | | he/she regularly checks the | | | Messenger group chat account of | | | the class for updates and | | | announcements. | | | | | | 3\. Timely submission of outputs | | | is enforced. | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | | 4\. Students must come to online | | | class meetings and face to face | | | classes, on time. Coming late | | | to class is rude. | | | | | | 5\. An employed student must | | | provide a copy of certificate | | | of employment, with said | | | certificate containing the work | | | schedule of the student. | | | | | | 6\. Students can consult a | | | professor or instructor on | | | matters relative to this course | | | within the given consultation | | | period and that such period | | | takes place every Friday, | | | 8-11:30 am. | | | | | | 7\. Students are expected to | | | embrace academic honesty as a | | | way of students' life. | | | Engagement with plagiarism and | | | other forms of cheating will | | | never be tolerated. Violation | | | of this policy shall be dealt | | | with disciplinary action. | | | | | | 8\. Students who get an INC | | | status in this course are given | | | one-term as an extension to | | | settle their deficiencies and | | | eventually obtain a grade. If a | | | student fails to settle his/her | | | INC status with the instructor | | | or professor within the | | | extended term, he/she will be | | | given a 0-rating or failed | | | status, thus the need to repeat | | | this course. | | | | | | 9\. Request to take a special | | | exam due to failure to take | | | midterm or final exam on the | | | prescribed schedule of the | | | College, is not accommodated. | | | Request is only considered when | | | justification, supported by | | | evidences, went through usual | | | process of validation. | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ Prepared by: Noted: Approved by: Mrs. Sherlet D.
