Attendance
(please refer to the students Norms of Conduct, Section: Attendance)
Homework/Seatwork
Problems sets and other exercises will be of help to fully understand the
concepts being present in class. There will be home work to be given in class about
some topics needing further understanding; thus you are encouraged to do it. It will
due at the beginning of the following lecture period unless otherwise specified. Late
assignments will not be accepted anymore.
You are encouraged to work on the homework with groups of your
classmates. The purpose of the homework is to practice with the material and to
improve your understanding. I encouraged you to learn from each other , and also to
ask me when you have questions. However the homework solutions that you submit
for grading must be written individually. Be sure that you understand the reasoning
for each problem, even if you initially solved the problem with help from your

classmates. Keep in mind that most of your grades in his course is determined by
exams, which you will have to do by yourself.
Homework/seatwork will be graded based on the content, solutions and
presentation. Its must be written on a clean 81/2 x 11 bond paper with 1 boarder line
and used engineering lettering. Put a cover page indicating your name, title of
assignment, date given, date submitted, instructor name, and of course your course
where you belong. In case of numerical answers, you must round off the final answer
appropriately. Include proper units/ dimensions.

Examinations
There will be four exams( prelims, midterms, semifinals and finals). All exams
will be in class and will be closed book, closed notes. All major exams will be
administered on the dates set by the department unless otherwise specified. The
scope of each periodical exam will include but not limited to those topic given in the
class schedule for the specified period. It may include some related topics given
before. You are not allowed to bring with you anything except your pen, straight
edges, erasers, and calculators. You are not permitted to borrow these things from
your classmates around you for these may be a cause of cheating. Exam will
commence and end on scheduled time. Latecomers will not be given any
consideration unless with valid reason.
Make-up tests will be given for authorized university activities only if a
student is present suitable documentation(evidence) explaining the absence to the
instructor. The instructor/university reserves the right to disapprove any explanations
for absence presented without prior notice and not provide the opportunity for a
make-up test. Students knowing they will be absent from an announced test because
of personal or business reasons are required to inform the instructor before the
absence. A make-up test may be given early in some cases.

Academic Misconduct
Academic misconduct will be subject to disciplinary action. Any act of
dishonesty in academic work constitutes academic misconducts. This includes
plagiarism, the changing or falsifying of any academic documents or materials,
cheating and the giving or receiving of an unauthorized aid in test, examination, or
other assign school work. Always protect your school work from wondering eyes,
since its often not possible to determine who the originator and copier were.
Penalties for academic misconduct will vary with the seriousness of the offence.
Punishments offenses includes explanation, suspension, noncredit of examination
among others.

Dropping
Dropping from the course is responsibility of the student. If you decide to
stop attending the class, submit the copy of duly signed dropping from not later than
the date set by the university registrar. Failure to comply with this requirements
would mean a grade of 5.00 in the course. Please be guided accordingly.

Regulations and Restrictions in the Classroom

Inside the classroom, the student should behave properly so that
lectures/discussions will not be enterrupted. The following will be strictly observed during the
conduct of the class:
1.All cell phones and other electronic gadgets must be turned off.
2.Eating, drinking, and smoking are not allowed.
3.Chatting, talking with the seatmates( except when in group/ cell discussion is required
by the instructor) is prohibited.
4.Reading newspapers, magazines, pocketbooks, and the like are not allowed.
5.Going in and out of the room without the permission of the instructor.
6.Being excuse by friends or peers from outside just for any reason is not allowed except

for emergency cases concerning family problems and administrative reasons.
7.Playing games, cards, or any form of gambling is strictly prohibited.
