Revision No.: 08
Revision Date: JULY 22, 2020
Aside from academic deficiency, other grounds to fail the course are the following:
1. Intellectual dishonesty (cheating and plagiarism) during examinations and other requirements;
2. Per Section 1551 of CHED’s Manual of Regulations for Private Educational Institutions, a student who has incurred more than
20% of the total number of school days (i.e., 7 unexcused absences) shall not be given credit to the course regardless of class
standing. For further provisions of the said policy, please refer to the MCL Student Catalogue.
3. Other grounds as stipulated in the MCL Student Catalogue, and other relevant policies and regulations that may be
promulgated from time to time.
STUDENT INTERVENTION
Students with a preliminary class standing of ≤ 55% or those whose GWA status is marked “NOT OK” in the Student Intervention
Module (OSS Application) need to undergo intervention activities which include but are not limited to any of the following:
(a) remedial assessment;
(b) consultation;
(c) referral to CGC;
(d) tutorial/mentoring/coaching;
(e) collaborative learning activities;
(f) notifications/reminders; and
(g) performance monitoring.
AVAILABLE COURSE MATERIALS
a. Web Resource
b. Learning Videos (via BlackboardTM Learn)
OTHER COURSE POLICIES
LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION
English is the medium of instruction. Lectures, discussions, and documentation will be in English. Code switching is highly
discouraged and the use of other languages aside from English in communicating and in presenting course works will be a valid
ground for demerits in that given exercise.
HOMEWORK, WRITTEN REPORTS AND OTHER PAPER SUBMISSIONS
All homework and other assigned coursework must be submitted diligently.
COURSE PORTFOLIO
All requirements for the course are to be compiled by the students as part of their portfolio. The same must be made available for
inspection by the Instructor before the end of the term.
