Grading System, Recording and Tasks

1. The Grading System maybe changed, that is the corresponding percentage maybe adjusted depending on the number of projects or activities given. In such cases, the secretary of the class will be informed by yours truly.

2. The class secretary will take charge of recording everything, that is from attendance to exams. S/he will also be tasked to help me in computing her classmates' grades.

3. The class secretary will provide me copies of the records (from attendance to exams) and will be responsible typing out her classmates' names on the grade sheets.

6. Tardiness is not entertained in my class. Kindly come on time. Please see your student hand book and the course outline I will provide to you.

Examination

3. No special projects are given.
4. Papers containing the same answers as with everybody else in the class will automatically be given 5.0 resulting to failing the course.
5. Students are required to submit their assignments, projects as well as other requirements on time. No adjustment for submission is given.

Grades
1. In most cases, essay papers will be returned to the respective class after 2-4 days. In any case, it will still be the class secretary's task to record the results and eventually help me computing the grades.
2. For class presentation / reporting, it would be graded as follows:

Content - 30%
Style - 30%

the question - 40%

Orderliness and Cleanliness:

1. No littering in class. Before the class starts, everyone's expected to pick up litters on floor should there be any.

2. Celphone/s must be turned off or if expecting a very important call, kindly switched the phone/s to silent mode and inform me that you're waiting for one.

3. If a student is caught listening to an mp3 player in my class, while/ during class discussion, it will be confiscated. The student then will be sent to the guidance office.

4. Arrange the chairs.

5. Classes are given 10-15 minutes allowance before classes start. This is to give them ample time to prepare their presentation or have their meals.
