Course Calendar/Schedule: Prelim Examination Period: July 22-27, 2013 Midterm Examination Period: August 27-31, 2013 Final Examination Period: October 9-15, 2013

IV. COURSE POLICIES

Grading. Students will be assessed individually. In case of group works like projects, reports, etc., the group grade will apply to each individual member except when the instructor needs to give additional points to member(s) of the group who performed better than the others, and deductions to member(s) of the group who performed lesser than the others. Objective-type assessments tasks like quizzes and examination will be graded based on the number of correct answers versus the total number of items. Non-objective-type assessments like oral presentation and projects will be graded based on whatever rubric is applicable. A student should get at least 75% to pass the course. The following grading system is in effect: Equivalent 1.00 1.25 1.50 1.75 2.00 2.25 2.50 2.75 3.00 4.00 5.00 6.00 7.00 % Grade 99 to 100% 96 to 98% 93 to 95% 90 to 92% 87 to 89% 84 to 86% 81 to 83% 78 to 80% 75 to 77% Below 75% Remarks Excellent Superior Meritorious Very Good Good Very Satisfactory Satisfactory Fair Passing Incomplete (No Final Examination) Failed Officially Dropped Unofficially Dropped

Grades are computed using the formula as follows: PG = 0.50 PE + 0.50 CSP MG = 1/3 PG + 2/3 (0.50 ME + 0.50 CSM) FG = 1/3 MG + 2/3 (0.50 FE + 0.50 CSF) Where:P Prelim E Examination M Midterm F Final CS Class Standing G Grade

Class standing is computed using the following components and corresponding weights Components Quizzes Laboratory Reports Project/ Case Study Seatworks/ Self-directed Learning (SDL) Reading Assessments/ Assignments/ Total Lecture Course 60% 20% 15% 5% 100% Laboratory Course 50% 20% 15% 10% 5% 100%

Assessment Tasks. Major examinations are given on the prescribed examination period. Final Examination is in Multiple-choice questions form. Other than the final exam, all the other major exams and quizzes can take any form like Modified True or False type, Problem-solving and Short-answer Questions. Quizzes are announced and are done at least twice per term. For laboratory courses, reports are submitted a week after the date of performance of the laboratory activity. Projects are usually given by group and need to be presented and defended against a panel of evaluators. Seatworks are unannounced and could be given as frequent as at the end of every meeting. Reading Assessments are unannounced and are given before an assigned reading topic is discussed. Attendance. Prompt and regular attendance in the course is required. Attendance is not graded but can lead to automatic dropping from the course. A student who has stopped attending classes and/or has incurred absences equivalent to more than 20% of the school days with or without notification shall not be given credit and will get an equivalent mark of 6.00 or 7.00 if the instructor was notified in writing by the student or not, respectively. A student will be given 15-minute grade period for every 1-hour duration of class meeting. Beyond the grace period, the student is late already. Three (3) consecutive instance of being late will be equivalent to one (1) day absence. Course Growth Portfolio. Each student is required to compile all the results of assessments and course works and reflect on their individual course growth. A template shall be given by the professor. The portfolio shall be submitted before the semester ends. Online Classroom. An online class will be provided by the instructor and each of the students should register be a member. All announcements are posted in the said online class. All the course resources such as lecture slides, notes, videos, softwares, etc., are also uploaded in the online classroom. Students should responsibly consistently check the classroom for new announcements. Any consequence of missed information like late submissions shall not be the responsibility of the professor.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
Eight Cardinal Rules of Academic Integrity (Northwestern University)
1. Know your rights. Do not let other students in your class diminish the value of your achievement by taking unfair advantage. Report any academic dishonesty you see. 2. Acknowledge your sources. Whenever you use words or ideas that are not your own when writing a paper, use quotation marks where appropriate and cite your source in a footnote, and back it up at the end with a list of sources consulted. 3. Protect your work. In examinations, do not allow your neighbors to see what you have written; you are the only one who should receive credit for what you know. 4. Avoid suspicion. Do not put yourself in a position where you can be suspected of having copied another person's work, or of having used unauthorized notes in an examination. Even the appearance of dishonesty may undermine your instructor's confidence in your work.

5. Do your own work. The purpose of assignments is to develop your skills and measure your progress. Letting someone else do your work defeats the purpose of your education, and may lead to serious charges against you. 6. Never falsify a record or permit another person to do so. Academic records are regularly audited and students whose grades have been altered put their entire transcript at risk. 7. Never fabricate data, citations, or experimental results. Many professional careers have ended in disgrace, even years after the fabrication first took place. 8. Always tell the truth when discussing your work with your instructor. Any attempt to deceive may destroy the relation of teacher and student.
