Percentage)

Notebook rating determines the percentage of raw score to be credited in a major exam.
Computation of final grade is given as follows:

FG = (average seatwork rating)*0.15 + (average assignment rating)*0.1 + (prelim score

percentage)*0.15*(notebook rating)/100 + (midterm score percentage)*0.15*(notebook
rating)/100 + (pre-final score percentage)*0.15*(notebook rating)/100 + (final exam score
percentage)*0.3

Passing grade is 70%. Aside from academic deficiency, other grounds for a failing grade
are:
Ø Grave misconduct and/or cheating during examinations
Ø A failing academic standing and failure to take the final exam

XIV. Course Policies and Standards

Plagiarism Policy: Academic integrity is expected of all students. The attempt by any
student to present as his/her own work which he/she has not
produced is regarded by the faculty and administration of TUP as a
serious offense. Students are considered to have cheated if they
turn in an assignment written in whole or in part by someone else.
Students are guilty of plagiarism, intentional or not, if they copy
from books, magazines, Internet, or other sources without
identifying and acknowledging those sources or if they paraphrase
ideas from such sources without acknowledging them.

In-Class Expectations:
Students are expected to come to class on time, every time.
Success in this course is highly correlated with lecture attendance.
Students who have unexcused absences of at least 20% of required
number of meetings per term will be marked dropped (DRP). They
are expected to wear their proper uniform.

Inside the classroom, it is expected that they will

● Keep laptops closed unless viewing course materials or
doing the lab exercises.
● Refrain from texting.
● Refrain from doing other online activities.
● Mobile phones must be put in silent mode.

Exam rules: ● Students’ cell phones must be put completely away in backpacks.
If their cell phone is seen on their lap or out in any way during an
exam, they will be given a zero for the exam.
● Students enrolled in this course who cheat on exams or quizzes
or commit plagiarism, or copy another student’s work in any way,
violate the Academic Integrity policy of the University and will

 receive an F (0 points) on the test or assignment in question. In
addition, they will be reported to the Department Head then to the
College Dean for appropriate sanction.
● There are NO makeup exams in this course except in the event
of an extreme, provable circumstance such as death of a relative or
hospitalization. Missing a class does not excuse the student from
the work assigned and you will be expected to complete and submit
any assignments before or at the beginning of the next class
session.
