G. Classroom Policies
1. Attendance:
Since this is a 3-unit course, students are allowed at most 9 hours worth of cut. A late is
equivalent to a cut. Going beyond the said norm will automatically merit the student a final
grade of W. There is no distinction between an excused and unexcused absence.
The highly accelerated pace of this course requires students to accept a great deal of
responsibility for achieving their own learning outcomes. While in class, students are expected
to actively participate in discussions and group activities, and not just listen to lecture. Outside
class time, students are expected to spend hours of preparation which will include reading
assignments, homework preparations, research, and group meetings.
2. Classroom Behavior:
Mobile phones and any other use of gadgets (laptops, tablets, etc) are strictly discouraged
during class time. They are to be turned off or placed on silent mode.

Eating and drinking are not allowed inside the classroom.


Students are expected to adhere to the Dress Code set by the JG School of Management.
3. Long Exams: There shall be at least three administered exam (open notes and open books), to be
held outside class hours with a three-hour duration.
Passing Requirement: The long tests (60%) are the most important gauge of individual
performance in this course. As such, students whose average grade in the exams is
equivalent to an F will automatically receive a final grade of F regardless of the marks
obtained in the other course requirements.
Make-up Exam: There shall be no make-up exams, unless there is a legitimate and
immediate reason (for medical-related concerns, submission of a valid doctors certificate
is required). The lecturer or the department secretary must be notified not later than 12
noon of the examination date. Failure to comply with the aforesaid requirement will
warrant a grade of F for the exam.
Corrections: Students are given at most three (3) school days after the return of the exam
to make the necessary appeals and requests for corrections. After this period, grade
changes will no longer be entertained.
4. Class Participation: Active participation is highly encouraged to improve the learning process on
this course. Active participation may include asking thoughtful questions, being willing to consider
new ideas, helping the others to comprehend complex ideas, having a cooperative attitude and a
sense of humor.
5. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY: Every student is responsible to know the standards of conduct
and expectations of academic integrity that apply to undertakings. Academic dishonesty will not be
tolerated and will result in the maximum penalty as defined in the Student Handbook:
Cheating during exams
Submitting spurious reports copied from previous materials other than his/her own
Copying another students work including assignments and reports
Receiving assistance from anyone else with quizzes/homework
Plagiarism
H. Group Project
1. Detailed project guidelines for the Final Paper will be uploaded in an online group site.
2. Be sure to have the proper contacts and resources that can help you in your project.
3. Be guided with the due dates for the submission of your partial papers and final paper. All
submissions are due 12 noon in the QMIT department of JGSOM. Failure to submit on time will
merit a 0.25 deduction per day late.
4. Each student will be asked to force rank their group members at the end of the semester. Grades
for group work will be adjusted upward or downward to account for each individuals relative
contribution to the group effort.
