 Course Assessment:

*Students are required individually to submit all the activities, assignment, quizzes and major examinations face-to-face. They have to know and understand
everything written in the modules regarding the course content and to gain knowledge in answering the exercises. They will not simply copy paste rather understand and
gain skills on how to solve problems involving Soil Mechanics. In order to gain knowledge and ability to solve any integration problems, the student must submit the course
requirement needed.

As per standard grading system, thoroughly discussed during the orientation meeting.

Aside from academic deficiency, other grounds for a failing grade are:

1. Grave misconduct and/or cheating during examinations

2. Unexcused absences of more than 20% of required number of meetings per semester
3. A failing academic standing and failure to comply with the subject requirements

COURSE POLICIES AND GUIDELINES:

Please refer to the Student Handbook.

1. Tests and Make-ups

All quizzes for this course must be completed. The final examination will be delivered during class schedule.
2. Extra Credit. Students are expected to complete the projects as required for the class and to do the best they can on each project throughout the semester. Thus, it is
the policy of the instructor not to give additional assignments for extra credit for students who wish to pull up their grades at the end of semester. Every attempt is
made to provide a complete syllabus that provides an accurate overview of the courses. However, circumstances and events may make it necessary for the instructor
to modify the syllabus during the semester. This may depend, in part, on the progress, needs and experiences of the students.
3. Students participate in the discussion, and answer the discussion questions. Failure to do those in 3 weeks will mean dropping from the course.
4. Requirements such as assignments/projects should be submitted/posted on or before the given deadline.
5. Coordinate with the professor, using various modes given on concerns/problems regarding the requirements.
6. Non-submission of requirements will be rated Iincomplete in the course.
