VIII. Class Policies
Attendance:
Attendance is noted by the instructor. This is to monitor whether absences incurred by the student are still within the allowed number of
absences for a course as stipulated in the Student Handbook. The only valid excuses for missing an exam are illness requiring medical care and/or a
personal/family emergency of a serious nature. For such, a valid medical certificate and parent’s/guardian’s letter will be required and subjected to
verification.
Academic Honesty:
It is a part of your education to learn responsibly and self-disciplined, particularly with regards to academic honesty. The most important
issue of academic honesty is cheating. Cheating is defined to include an attempt to defraud, deceive, or mislead the instructor in arriving at an honest grade
assessment. Plagiarism is a form of cheating that involves presenting as one’s own work the ideas or work of others.
All portions of any test, project, or final exam submitted by you for a grade must be your own work, unless you are instructed to work
collaboratively. Cheating, dishonesty and plagiarism in papers and other works will entail such punishment/sanction as stipulated in the Student Handbook.
