Academic Integrity Policy

Students are expected to following the guidelines laid down in the Assumption College

Student Handbook in terms of academic pursuits and excellence. They are strongly and

constantly reminded that it is of paramount importance to understand one topic intensively

before being able to move on to the next one. However, all the topics are inter-related.

Therefore, any forms of idleness of poor attitude in learning Physics will not be tolerated and

remedial actions immediately instigated to rectify the situation. Students are always welcome

to consult the teacher for guidance of whatever issues related to learning which may arise.

Behavioral Expectations

A good sense of behavioral awareness in the classroom will be strictly reinforced which is

essential to the ultimate success of the learning process. Students are not allowed to do other

subjects in the Physics class or play with electronic gadgets not related to what is being

taught in the classroom. Infraction of behavioral rules will be handled accordingly.

Attendance & Tardiness

Attendance will be taken at the start of every class. Students are expected to be in class on-

time, every time. Unexcused absences or tardiness will not be tolerated. In the case of

planned absences, please notify the teacher in as far in advance as possible. Students are

expected to catch up on all missed work outside of class time.

Homework & Class-work

Homework and class-work will be assigned often and must be submitted on or before the due

date. Late assignments can be submitted for a maximum of 50% up until the last week of the

term. All late or missed assignments that are not turned in before the last week of the term

will receive a zero.

Chemistry can be a difficult course for many students. All students are encouraged to try the

following:

1. Read, read, read the Chemistry textbook. Oftentimes, reading the text once is not

enough even for native English speakers. You may need to read the material multiple

times to understand. By reading along at home with the lessons taught at school

(typically only a few pages per night), students will be able to responsibly manage the

material and gain the most from the course.

2. Search online, in either Thai or English, if you don’t understand a topic discussed in

class or simply to get a better understanding of the topic.

3. Get a Thai language introductory chemistry book.

4. Get a math and/or chemistry tutor. The tutor should be helping you learn, not doing

the work for you!

5. Do not copy your classmates work.

6. Come see the teacher outside of class time for assistance.

7. Do more than just the bare minimum; there are plenty of problems in the textbook.

We only have time for so many of them. Do the review questions at the end of the

chapter and see the teacher for the answers.

8. Study the notes and vocabulary at least a few minutes every day, such as in

homeroom or during any free time you might have in other classes.

SC30245 Biology 5

Course Description

This introductory course to Biology starts with ecological principles and how they can be

used to understand and encourage sustainable development and biodiversity preservation.

There is a special emphasis on His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyedej’s Sufficiency

Economy Philosophy and how it can be used as a strong foundation for sustainable

development at all levels of society. Links to issues in the arts and social sciences will be

made to give the subject ‘real life’ relevance.

We will then cover cell homeostasis and the mechanisms by which individual cells and the

cells of tissues transport materials within cells and across cell membranes. Finally, we will

cover the human immune system, its components and disorders of the immune system, with a

focus on HIV.

Biology 5 is heavily project-based and students are required to complete hands-on activities

in order to succeed in the course. Critical thinking skills are emphasized and students are

encouraged to see the ‘Big Picture’ and apply the information that they learn to solve

problems that face humanity.

Physics can be a difficult course for many students. All students are encouraged to try the

following:

1. Read the textbook and websites that the teacher recommends. 2. When studying, learning in the classroom and doing homework, always try to think

about how the topic we are learning fits into the ‘Big Picture.’ 3. Ask questions when you don’t understand. If you don’t understand something, there

are likely other students who don’t understand as well. If you ask, then you will be

helping those students as well. If you feel more confident asking a question in private,

then you may do so. 4. Do not copy any work from anyone. This will damage your potential for thinking and

being creative. It will also get you a zero. Don’t let other students copy your work

either, as it will encourage your friends to be lazy and will harm them in the future.

Mathematics can be a difficult course for many students. All students are encouraged to try

the following:

1. Read, read, read the course textbook. Often, reading the text once is not enough even


understand. Ideally the student will read the relevant section of the course textbook

before the teacher begins the topic to be discussed during a lesson. This will give the

student a preview of what is about to be learned and allow the student to make

connections between previous learning and new learning topics. Additionally reading

before the lesson will allow the student to be ready with questions to ask of the

teacher when covered in class. By reading along at home with the lessons taught at

school (typically only a few pages per night), students will be able to responsibly

manage the material and gain the most from the course.

Ask Questions. Never be afraid to ask questions before, during, or after class. Take

responsibility for your own learning. If you don’t ask the question you won’t have the

answer.

Ma30206 Supplementary Mathematics 5

Course Description

In the second semester we will continue our study of methods of integration including the

substitution method, integration by parts, and integration of areas and volumes. We will then

go on to a review and further study of topics covered in previous years including the real

number system, functions, and analytic geometry. The integration methods considered are

challenging and should prepare the students for a first year University calculus course. During

our investigation of coordinate geometry we will, also review vectors and vector methods in 3

dimensions. This course is designed to prepare students for a first year university (Calculus)

course which is often quite rigorous.
