 Learning tasks and other assigned works or projects are due at the beginning of the class periods
of the specified dates. Late assignments are not accepted. Quizzes are to be taken only on the
dates announced/ specified. No special quizzes are given except for meritorious cases.

Language of Instruction
Lectures, discussions and class presentations will be in English.

Honor, Dress and Grooming Codes

Everybody has been instructed on the dress and grooming codes of the Institute. Everybody must
commit to abide by these codes.

For this course, the Honor Code is that there will be no plagiarizing on written work and no cheating
on examinations. Proper citation must be given to authors whose works were used in the process
of developing instructional materials and learning for this course. If a student is caught cheating on
an exam, he/ she will be given a zero mark for that particular exam. If a student is caught cheating
for the second time, he/ she will be referred to the Prefect of Student Affairs, the guidance Office
and will be given a failing mark for the course.

Consultation Schedule
Consultation schedules with the professors are posted outside the ChE-Chm Faculty room and in
the school web-page (http://che-chm.mapua.edu.ph). It is recommended that the student first set an
appointment to confirm the instructors availability.
