COURSE POLICIES AND REQUIREMENTS:
1. This course follows the Traditional Blended Learning Mode. There will be 50% onsite and 50%
asynchronous.
2. Enrollment in an E-Class. The Center for Innovative Learning Programs (CILP) shall enroll you in the e-
class. This will be based on the class list provided by the Office of the University Registrar and at the portal.
3. Communication and Feedback
a. Onsite classes shall happen as indicated in the learning plan section of the syllabus. Fifty percent (50%) of
the weekly classes is delivered face-to-face while the remaining is asynchronous.
b. Online Asynchronous Communication shall happen when the faculty utilizes at least one of the
recommended asynchronous communications. The minimum response time for asynchronous
communication is 48 hours, excluding Sundays and holidays. All communication platforms must be
explicitly indicated in the syllabus. Below are the recommended asynchronous communication platforms:
i. Forum – at the Forum Tab at Schoolbook, students can post their general concerns. The forum is
public, and any post can be seen by the class.
ii. Messaging – at Schoolbook. Any private or confidential matters may be messaged through
Schoolbook messaging feature.
iii. Email – you may email your professor. (Professor’s email will be given during the course
orientation)
c. No use of foul, curse, and other bad words, whether in written or verbal. No shouting. No flooding of chat
and messages. No selling.
4. Attendance Policy
a. Attendance Policy for Onsite Classes is scheduled based on the learning plan. A maximum of 20% for class
participation/recitation/attendance shall be allotted for student’s grade.
b. The onsite meeting will only be held at the schedule indicated in the registration form.
c. Students are required to attend onsite classes, 40% of absence (from onsite classes) for the entire semester
means 0.0 final grade.
5. Intellectual Property Policy
a. Policy and copyright infringement will not be tolerated. Any violation of such will earn students a grade of
zero in the assessment.
b. Using any illegally obtained software is strictly prohibited.
c. Students are encouraged to use their original photos, videos, and other resources. Otherwise, students can
use royalty-free resources or embed the sources in their submissions to avoid copyright infringement and/or
plagiarism.
d. Giving of password to Schoolbook and Office 365 is strictly prohibited. Likewise, accessing Schoolbook
and Office 365 account other than the students’ personal account is also strictly prohibited. Violating
students will be reported to the Student Welfare and Formation Office (SWAFO).
6. Other Policies
a. Attire - students must wear decent casual or smart-casual attire prescribed by the Student Handbook.
b. Students must be honest at all times; cheating and plagiarism in any form will merit a grade of 0.00.
c. Cellular/Mobile phones should always be in silent mode during class hours; the use of cellular phones is
prohibited in class unless a special permission is sought. Cellular phones cannot also be used as calculator
during examination.
d. Any complaints against the teacher or against classmates should be properly addressed to the subject teacher
for appropriate action. Students may seek the help and guidance of their academic/registration adviser in
resolving the issue with the subject teacher when such mediation is needed.
