Class Policy
1. First missed quiz will be equivalent to the LOWEST GRADE AMONGST ALL QUIZZES, subject to the presentation
of medical certification. Missed quiz due to tardiness will be ZERO.
2. Missed oral presentation will be ZERO regardless of reason.
3. Tardiness during presentation of another student will have corresponding deductions on the oral presentation
grade of the concerned student.
4. Cellular phones should be placed in silent mode during the conduct of the class.
5. Read and comply with the instructions in the exam sheet. Not following instructions will have corresponding
deductions.
6. Late requirements will not be accepted regardless of the reason.
