Aside from academic deficiency, other grounds to fail the course are the following:
Intellectual dishonesty (cheating and plagiarism) during examinations and other requirements;
Per Section 1551 of CHEDs Manual of Regulations for Private Educational Institutions, a student who has incurred more than
20% of the total number of school days (i.e., 5 unexcused absences) shall not be given credit to the course regardless of class
standing. In the context of E-MCL, this policy will be implemented in terms of actual access to the online course materials;
Other grounds as stipulated in the MCL Student Catalogue, and other relevant policies and regulations that may be promulgated
from time to time.
AVAILABLE COURSE MATERIALS
a. Course Syllabus
b. Problem Solving Drills
c. E-MCL facility
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.
ATTENDANCE
Per Section 1551 of CHEDs Manual of Regulations for Private Educational Institutions, a student who has incurred absences more
than twenty percent (20%) of the total number of school days shall not be given credit to the course regardless of class standing. In
the context of E-MCL, this policy will be implemented in terms of actual access to the online course materials.
Since this course is accessible through the internet 24/7 via www.e-mcl.net , students are expected to visit E-MCL and complete the
problem solving drills at the assigned laboratory rooms or even outside of MCL anytime and anywhere. All student logins for at least
3 hrs per week and the day/time that attempts made on the weekly scheduled drills will be recorded and these data will be
maintained and may be used as a basis for assessing performance of students.
TEST QUESTIONS
Levels of difficulty for the questions to be used in the problem solving drills, long examinations and final examination are categorized
as Easy, Average and Difficult.
The questions will be given scores based on the level of difficulty as follows: easy = one (1) point, average = two (2) points, and
difficult = five (5) points.

All problem solving drills should be taken as these are made available in the E-MCL facility according to the specified sequence in the
syllabus. The next set of problem solving drills will only be made available based on schedule. However, the previous problem
solving drills are not pre-requisites for the next set in the sequence and will also be kept accessible to students even as the next sets
are made available.
Problem solving drills consists of six (6) easy, two (2) average and two (2) difficult questions which are picked out randomly from a
question databank. These drills should be solved within 30 minutes. Feedback will be given thereafter showing the number of
correct answers as well as the questions that were not answered correctly.
LONG EXAMINATIONS
Students will be required to take the exam in the confines of the laboratory assigned for the class and proctors will be present during
all the scheduled long examinations. These exams should be solved within 3 hours and should consist of the following:

Feedback will be given thereafter showing the number of correct answers as well as the questions that were not answered correctly.
Long examination results shall be the basis for 60% of the final grade.
FINAL EXAMINATION
The final examination shall be taken on the 11th week of the term and shall be in written multiple choice questions (50%) as well as
written problem solving questions (50%). Students will be required to take the exam proctored by their respective correlation course
coordinator.
The final examination has a composition of questions similar to the long examination but its coverage is from all the topics described
in this syllabus. It should be finished within the 3 hour period
Final Examination results will be the basis for 40% of the final grade.
COURSE PORTFOLIO
All drills, long exams and final examination taken by students, the feedback received by them, and the ratings for each of the activiites
will be recorded and maintained in the E-MCL facility as part of the learning management system.
HONOR, DRESS, AND GROOMING CODE
Other provisions stipulated in the MCL Student Catalogue will be enforced in and out of the classroom. Students who have violated
the dress code policy and other related offenses will not be permitted to attend classes without being cleared by the Student Affairs
Office or the Guidance Office.
