V. Classroom Rules

1. Students are required to attend the full face-to-face classes regularly and on time. If you will be
absent or late from the class, please submit a letter of excuse (with your parent or guardian’s signature
and valid identification card); otherwise, you will be marked absent or late.

1.1 The number of allowed absences should not exceed 20% of the required contact hours or
ten (10) absences for the entire semester.

1.2 There would be a 15-minute grace period before you are marked as late.

1.3 Being late three (3) times equals one (1) absence.

2. If you have any learning issues or any special concerns, such as but not limited to scholarships,
being a student-athlete, working student, etc., you may disclose them to the instructor at the start of the
semester.

3. Interaction and sharing of viewpoints and insights are highly encouraged for class participation and
discussions but should be guided by mutual respect.

4. We will also apply the Chatham House Rule: When a meeting, or part thereof, is held under the
Chatham House Rule, participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor
the affiliation of the speaker(s), nor that of any other participant, may be revealed. The purpose of the
rule is to encourage open discussion since anything said is "off the record.”

5. Classroom discussions are in English to train the students in public speaking and achieve proficiency
in the said language.

6. Any form of academic dishonesty, such as cheating and plagiarism, is grounds for serious
misconduct. To avoid plagiarism, use the 7th edition of the APA citation style. You may use this link for
reference:

7. The use of AI for any submission should be properly declared by the student otherwise it may be
tagged for unoriginal work.
