Class Conduct

1

1. No using of mobile phones during a lecture. Turn them off or have

them on silent mode.

2. If there is a need to leave the lecture momentarily, please do so

without causing any interruption.

3. Given that it is necessary to leave the lecture halfway, please inform

the lecturer prior to the start of the lecture.

4. No profanity and no vulgarity is allowed.

5. Students are expected to be prepared with their notes for each lecture

in order to be able to follow the progress of lectures.

6. Students are also expected to jot their own notes during lectures. All

provided notes can only be found on eAdvantage. Prepared by: Dr. Brenda Lee C. T.

Class Material / Timeline

1. Students are responsible for ensuring that their own copy of notes is

complete. Please refer to LMS for updates of notes.

2. It is the students’ responsibility to check the LMS regularly (at least

once every 24 hours) for updates of notes, syllabus, and

announcements on assignments and quizzes/tests.

3. Students are held responsible for any missed lectures and in-class

assessments.

4. Students are expected to keep track of the syllabus covered in class,

and also of the date, time, and venue of assessments at all time, even

when new assessments are announced during the student’s absence.

Class Attendance

a) 80% Ruling for Courses with Finals:

• 80% attendance (based on signing the attendance sheet) is required in

order to be allowed to attempt the final exam.

• Students with less than an average attendance of 80% anytime during

the semester will be barred from the finals.

• Students that have been barred will only be unbarred at the end of the

semester if the average attendance of the student improves to 80% and

above at the end of the semester. No appeals will be entertained.

• Students that have been barred and wish to be unbarred also need to

hand deliver a letter of appeal from their parents/guardians to the

lecturer, acknowledging the student’s poor attendance and providing

reason for the poor attendance performance to justify the unbarring.

Class Attendance

• The dateline for unbarring will be determined by the records office every

semester.

b) 80% Ruling for Courses without Finals:

• For classes without a final exam, the student’s grade will be scaled

based on the normalised 80% of the attendance. That is, penalty

points will be awarded if the attendance is less than 80%.

Assessment

1. Students caught plagiarising/copying assignments/reports will

immediately be awarded a zero grade on the corresponding

assignment/report. Further action is subject to the discretion of the

lecturer.

2. Students caught cheating on quizzes/tests/exams/midterms will

immediately be awarded a zero grade on the corresponding

quizzes/tests/exams/midterms. Further action is subject to the

discretion of the lecturer.

3. Students are given a 1-week collection period to collect their

quizzes/tests/exams/midterms and/or assignments/reports from the

lecturer after it is returned by the lecturer in the classroom. Appeals to

re-grade any work are only entertained at the instant the graded work

is returned to the student, within the 1-week collection period.



6

Assessment

4. Only students with appropriate reason (MC/DC) will be allowed to take

any supplementary in-class

assignments/quizzes/tests/exams/midterms, or substitute the relative

grade of the missed assignments/quizzes/tests/exams/midterms with

the next assignment/quiz/test/exam/midterm at the discretion of the

lecturer.

5. Unless otherwise specified, all replacement assignments/quizzes/

tests/exams/midterms will be held in week 14 of the respective

semester.



7

Assessment

6. Unless otherwise specified, all assignments take a penalty of 10% for

every day the assignment is handed in late to the lecturer, for up to 5

days (after 5 days it will be ‘zero’). Students with appropriate reason

(MC/DC) may submit a written application for an extension with the

instructor before the dateline itself.

7. Unless otherwise specified, during in-class assessments, students

need to leave their bags in front of the class (or outside the

Examination Hall) and only bring stationary and a calculator to their

seats.

8. Students with less than an average of 40% in the internal assessment

will be barred from the finals. No appeals will be entertained unless the

internals assessment grade has risen above the 40% mark at the end

of the semester, and all procedures regarding unbarring pertaining to

the 80% attendance rule has been adhered to.

Unfortunate Events

1. Medical certificates need to be presented to the lecturer within 2

standard working days immediately after the end of the student’s

medical leave.

2. For death of an immediate family member, only official hospital and

police certificates/reports (or government death certificate) are

accepted. Students are then excused from classes for up to 1 week in

such situations.

3. Both the hospital and police reports (or government death certificate

(DC)) must be presented to the lecturer within 1 week after the student’s

returns to class.

4. No certificates/reports will be accepted once the aforementioned

deadlines above have passed. Prepared by: Dr. Brenda Lee C. T.
