H. CLASSROOM POLICIES

Aside from policies stated in the University hand book, we encourage students to observe the
following:
 Focus
Focus includes being physically and mentally present during discussions, being mindful of
doing their own work during individual quizzes and exams for assessment purposes. We also
discourage usage of mobile phones except for emergencies.

 Participate
Being participative means involving and engaging students to meaningful group and
individual activities. Interaction between learner and instructor would help one another to
learn from insights and opinions. This would also help the learner appreciate and remember a
particular topic.

 Enjoy
Learning should always be fun despite heavy contents to study. This involves exciting yet
related activities and sharing of takeaways after each lesson for the instructor to look into
student’s interest, strengths and weakness.
