all students about their missing/unsubmitted requirements. If at the end of the course students still have missing requirements, the instructor will compute for the

d. Confer with classmates or the instructor about the discussions during the synchronous sessions that they missed if unable to attend the live sessions.
Recordings will be provided but may not be available immediately.
e. Inform the instructor of concerns that may prevent them from fully participating in the class. This includes withdrawal from the course, long term illnesses,
personal matters, and others. Teachers will not be able to help you if you don’t tell them of these concerns.
Attendance.
We recognize that students have varying access levels to technology and connectivity, which is why for the most part, the course is conducted
asynchronously. During synchronous sessions, there will be no checking of attendance. However, everyone is encouraged to participant in these
sessions. A recording and/or transcript of synchronous classes will be made available for students who are unable to attend a synchronous session.
Late Submissions.
Deadlines will be set for the submission of course requirements. This allows the Instructor sufficient time to review them. It also helps students pace their
work. If you experience problems submitting your work on time, please contact the instructor ahead of time. All requirements must be completed to pass
the course. Late submissions will not merit deductions but may not receive timely feedback.
Cheating and Plagiarism.
Any work submitted by a student in this course for academic credit will be the student’s own work. Any form of academic dishonesty will be fully dealt with
according to the stipulations of the PUP Student Handbook.
Participation.
Participation during discussions greatly encouraged, and students should feel free to ask questions when an idea or lesson is unclear or confusing
especially during synchronous sessions.
Announcements.
Class announcements will be communicated through the class president. Other communication shall always be coursed through University-issued (i.e.,
official) email accounts. Students must use their PUP student accounts.
Intellectual Property and Copyright.
Original materials created for this online class is covered by University policies on intellectual property. Some (third-party) instructional materials (e.g.,
YouTube videos) might be under the public domain or are open access, while others (e.g., some assigned readings) might be subject to fair use. All third-party
instructional materials will be attributed to their original creators. Electronic copies of the assigned readings are for your private consumption only. Access to the
course materials for this class for PUP students will be restricted to only those students registered in this course and will be available for only a limited
period of time. Please do not share these materials with anyone or elsewhere. The same applies to the recordings of the synchronous sessions.
Code of Decorum and Administrative Rules.
The University follows a Code of Decorum and Administrative Rules for its community members. In particular, the code provides a specific set of policies on
the investigation of reported sexual harassment cases. For more information on these policies, please refer to the PUP Student Handbook.
