Classroom Policies:
1. Classes start and end with a prayer. The class president is tasked to lead or assign someone to lead the class in prayer or when the officers are not yet elected the instructor will assign prayer leaders. Observe respect for students and teacher who are praying.
Leave the room after the prayer and NOT before the prayer.
2. Attendance and Punctuality.
The student is expected to come to class regularly and on time. For absences, please refer to Policy on Absences.
Tardiness: You are expected to come on time to avoid interrupting what has already been started. You will already be marked as absent if you will come to class beyond the first 15 minutes. Three consecutive tardiness shall be equivalent to 1 absence. If you activity or quiz has started before you come, previous instruction or test item will not be given to you anymore.
3. Active class participation.
The student is expected to participate actively in class recitations, discussions, and other activities as the case maybe.
4. Group work requirements.
The student is expected to work harmoniously with her group mates and contribute to the preparation of their group work.
5. ELECTRONIC DEVICES.
Students are not permitted to use any electronic devices anytime during class. This includes the wearing of headsets and cellular telephone earpieces as well as laptop computers. All electronic devices must be in the OFF position during exams and quizzes.
6. For code of conduct, dress code, attendance and all other rules please see the student manual.
7. NO SPECIAL ACTIVITIES are given to the absentees whether individual or group activity.
8. SPECIAL TESTS are given to absentees provided you present excuse letters with a photocopy of the guardian who signed on your excuse letter or medical certificate or letter from school that same day you return to the class. Schedule of the quiz will be given by the instructor. However, if in case you did no come on the said appointment there will be no rescheduling of the special test.
9. Students will be courteous to the teacher, other students and to themselves. Thus, do not use vulgar or offensive language inside the classroom.
ACADEMIC DISHONESTY:
All students are expected to be academically honest. Cheating, lying and other forms of immoral and unethical behavior will not be tolerated. Any student found guilty of cheating in examinations or plagiarism in submitted course requirements will (at a minimum) receive an F or failure in the course requirement or in the course. Plagiarism and cheating refer to the use of unauthorized books, notes or otherwise securing help in a test; copying tests, assignments, reports or term papers; representing the work of another person as one’s own; collaborating without authority, with another student during an examination or in preparing academic work;
signing another student’s name on an attendance sheet; or otherwise practicing scholastic dishonesty.
POLICY on ABSENCES:
The allowed number of absences for Teacher education students enrolled in a 1 hour class is a maximum of 10absences and 7 absences for a 1-1/2 hour class - based on student handbook. Request for excused absences or waiver of absences must be presented upon reporting back to class. Special examinations will be allowed only in special cases, such as prolonged illness. It is the responsibility of the student to monitor her own tardy incidents and absences that might be accumulated leading to a grade of “FA.” It is also her responsibility to consult with the teacher, chair or dean should her case be of special nature.
