COURSE POLICIES & GUIDELINES:

1. Policies, procedures and standards shall apply as per Student Handbook and CHCC Administration memos.
2. All classes, lecture and discussions will be conducted via online using the Concepcion Holy Cross College Learning Management System (LMS) - the CHCC
Flex-Ed and other available social media platforms such as google suite, google drive, zoom, and the like.
3. Students shall follow proper netiquette at all times. Cyber bullying, yelling, teasing, use of foul language and the like will not be tolerated. Proper decorum

4. All participants/members of the class are aware and they agree that the proceedings of the online class are recorded for archiving and administrative
purposes.
5. The instructor will provide soft copy of lessons, reading materials and self-study module downloadable in the CHCC-Flex-Ed
6. From time to time, students will be asked to participate in the online discussions. The students’ final grade will depend heavily on class participation, and
on the quality of submitted assigned tasks/activities, pre-assessment and post assessment.
7. All tests are to be taken on scheduled dates. Special examinations may be given only for highly justifiable reasons.
8. Course requirements should be submitted on time. Late requirements shall be accepted at the discretion of the instructor and if accepted, will be given
demerits.
 9. Cheating and plagiarism are unacceptable academic behaviors. Any student caught cheating during an examination will get a score of zero for that
particular examination. Any student caught plagiarizing will automatically be given a failing grade in the subject.
10. Students are expected to give their best effort in studying the subject.
