10. Opportunities to Develop Lifelong Learning Skill

A student completing this course should at the minimum be able to: determine and apply the
properties of matrices and determinants in solving linear systems, identify the properties of real
vector spaces, subspaces and to determine whether the set of vectors: forms a spanning set,
are linearly independent and forms a basis for the vector space, and form the solution space
spanned by the eigenvectors associated with each eigenvalue of matrix and to understand linear
transformation.

13.1 Other Course Policies:

a. Attendance
According to CHED policy, total number of absences by the students should not be more
than 20% of the total number of meetings or 9 hours for a three-unit course. Students
incurring more than 9 hours of unexcused absences automatically gets a failing grade
regardless of class standing.

b. Submission of Assessment Tasks (Student Outputs) should be on time. Late submittal

of coursework’s will not be accepted. If you have an extenuating circumstance, it must be
discussed and a decision made before the due date or it is due when the assignment is
due. Copied works/tasks or any required material to be submitted in the class are strictly
prohibited and found guilty will be considered as cheating as well.

c. Written Major Examination (Long Quiz and Final Exam) will be administered as
scheduled. No special exam will be given unless with a valid reason subject for approval
of the Chairman of the Mathematics Department. Furthermore, students of this course are
required to participate actively in the events/activities organized for this course.

d. Course Portfolio will be collected at the end of the quarter. Lost documents will not be
given due credit.

e. Language of Instruction
Lectures, discussion, and documentation will be in English. Written and spoken work
may receive a lower mark if it is, in the opinion of the instructor, deficient in English.

f. Honor, Dress, and Grooming Codes

All of us have been instructed on the Dress and Grooming Codes of the University. We
have all committed to obey and sustain these codes. It will be expected in this class that
each of us will honor the commitments that we have made.

For this course the Honor Code is that there will be no plagiarizing on written work and no
cheating on exams. Proper citation must be given to authors whose works were used
in the process of developing instructional materials/class produced reviewers/simple
machine problems and learning in this course. If a student is caught cheating on an exam
by his instructor or substitute teacher, he or she will be given zero mark for the exam. If a
student is caught cheating twice on the same course, the student will be referred to the
Prefect of Student Affairs and be given a failing grade.

 Grave misconduct other than cheating will likewise be given a failing grade. Disrespect
to your teacher or to others in the classroom will not be tolerated in the least. Argument is
great but bullying, fighting, mocking, and demeaning the teacher or other students will
not be allowed. Come to class on time, there can be mitigating circumstances from time
to time but if it becomes a chronic behavior you may lose points or credit for the class.

g. Consultation Schedule
Consultation schedules with the p rofessor are posted outside the faculty room and in
the department’s web page (http:/math.mapua.edu.ph). It is recommended that the student
first set an appointment to confirm the instructor’s availability.
