Attendance
Attendance is required. A student who is absent for more than six (6) meetings (excused and
unexcused) should drop the course on or before November 14, 2017 (Tuesday). If he/she is not able
to drop the course before the deadline and incurs more than six (6) absences, the following grades
will be given:
if the majority of absences are excused, he/she will be given a grade of DRP, or
if the majority of the absences are unexcused, he/she will be given a grade of 5.0.

If the student is absent due to a valid excuse, supporting documents (e.g. medical certificate) must
be given to the faculty WITHIN ONE WEEK of the students return to class.

A student who comes to class 30 minutes after the supposed start of the period will be marked
absent.

Course Requirements
Four long exams and a final exam shall be given in the course.
1st Long Exam (Mon) September 4, 2017 6:00 - 8:00 PM
nd
2 Long Exam (Mon) October 2, 2017 6:15 - 8:15 PM
3rd Long Exam (Mon) November 6, 2017 6:15 - 8:15 PM
th
4 Long Exam (Mon) December 4, 2017 6:15 - 8:15 PM
Final Exam (Thu) December 14, 2017 8:00 - 11:00 PM
Make up Exam (Fri) December 15, 2017 12:00 - 2:00 PM
Each long exam (LE) has three parts with varying levels of difficulty. Each part may come in
different forms multiple choice, problem solving, essay, etc., as deemed necessary by the
examiners. Below are standard instructions that must be strictly followed:
1. At least three days before the exam (Friday before exam), submit all blank answer sheets
properly marked and stapled together at the upper left corner STRICTLY according to the
detailed instructions by the faculty. Answer sheets must be yellow ruled paper (8.5 x 13). For
not following any of the said instructions, the student shall be penalized with a 5% deduction
in the exam final score.
2. Make sure to have written your name, student number, and section on every answer sheet,
as well as consecutive sheet numbers, all at the upper right corner.
3. Turn all mobile phones and electronic devices OFF during the entire examination period,
except the calculator being used. Any form of cheating will be penalized as stipulated in the
2014 Student Code of Conduct.
4. Submit the questionnaire together with your answer sheets.
5. Use only a blue or black ink pen. Do NOT use correction fluid, friction pen or pencils. Non-
compliance will result to ineligibility for rechecking.
6. Start the solution to each problem on a new sheet; and always put a box on your final
answer/s. Anything written at the back portion of your paper will not be graded.
7. Show clearly all pertinent solutions and state the assumptions made, if any.
8. After the exam results are returned, any complaints/queries will be entertained only within a
week. A letter must be written stating your reasons for having your exam rechecked and
must be passed to your teacher who will coordinate with the checker.
The final exam (FE) is a multiple-choice type exam covering all topics.

Ver.08/03/17 MTA (adapted from 01/09/17 GPV)
 A missed long exam will be given a grade of ZERO unless a valid reason (with accompanying
documents) is presented. If the reason is valid and acceptable, a make-up exam will be taken on
the same day as the final exam. A make-up exam covers the same topics as the missed exam and
will also consist of three parts. A student will no longer be eligible for exemption if he/she misses
an exam and can only take one make-up exam.

Any student who is not exempted and did not take the final exam for VALID reasons will be given
a grade of INC if his/her pre-final grade is passing, otherwise he /she will be given a grade of zero
for the missed final exam.

Grading System

LE Ave. = Average of four (4) Long Exams

Classwork = Short Quizzes, Problem Sets, Class Participation, Homeworks, etc.

Before Finals: Pre-Final Grade = 0.85 x LE Ave. + 0.15 x Classwork Ave.

After Finals: Final Grade = 0.70 x Pre-Final Grade + 0.30 x Final Exam Grade

Notes:
1. A student may be exempted from the final exam if he/she satisfies the following:
a.) A pre-final average of 72.0% or better, and
b.) No long exam less than 60.0%
2. This is a pass or fail course; no grade of 4.0 will be given.

Equivalent Grading Scale

Final Grade Equivalent Grade Final Grade Equivalent Grade
92 100 1.00 72 below 76 2.25
88 below 92 1.25 68 below 72 2.50
84 below 88 1.50 64 below 68 2.75
80 below 84 1.75 60 below 64 3.00
76 below 80 2.00 Below 60 5.00

Intellectual Dishonesty (From 2014 Student Code of Conduct)

Intellectual dishonesty is any fraudulent act performed by a student to achieve academic advantage or gain
for oneself or others, including but not limited to:

1. Copying or providing the means to copy a classmates exam answers, homework, laboratory
experiments, etc.;
2. Allowing a classmate to copy from ones own exam answers, homework, laboratory experiments, etc.;
3. Possession and/or use of cheat devices during an examination;
4. Plagiarism, which shall be defined as the taking and using of another persons ideas, writings, inventions
and similar intellectual products as ones own without knowledge, consent and/or accreditation;
5. Deception, which shall be defined as providing false information concerning an academic activity;
6. Allowing another person to take an examination in ones name, and/or impersonating another student
or allowing someone to impersonate oneself in an academic activity;
7. Manipulating a corrected exam paper; and
8. Any other form of cheating or any act of dishonesty in relation to academic activity.

Any student found guilty of committing intellectual dishonesty will be penalized in

accordance with prevailing university rules and regulations.
