Class room policy for Comskills 1

By Dr. Arlene Opina

Everybody in class is enjoined to follow the rules in class as follows:

1. English speaking - every student should speak in English when talking with/among peers or teacher. Penalty for violators is submission of research paper (10 pages) on the following meeting. Non submission on the required date doubles the number of pages.

2. Cleanliness and orderliness – students who don’t pick up litters near their seats shall also be chastened with a research paper (related to your course) to be submitted the following meeting.

3. English Book - Always take the prescribed English textbook with you during class hours. There are worksheets to answer in the book. 2 points shall be deducted from the total points, if you answer on a paper and 1 point deduction if answered from photocopied sheets.

4. Picture 1X1- Submit latest photo (at least 6 months) to the marshal assigned. This will be pasted in the seat plan.

5. Attendance - Class starts on time (up to 15 mins.). Late comers (after 15 mins.) will sing or dance (entertainers) as our icebreakers. 2 times tardiness means 1 absence. When absent, submit readmission card the following meeting to the subject teacher.

6. Readmission Card - to get a readmission card (RC), submit excuse letter together with ID of the signatory to the Student Affairs Office (SAO). The RC should be signed by the adviser first before giving it to the subject teacher for approval and signature.

7. Special assignment - If you are assigned a task, don't be absent or you will forfeit the special grade bestowed to you.

8. Recitation – Every recitation is merited with one point. All points shall be added with a corresponding grade every grading period.

9. Quiz Paper - no cadgers (people who obtain something by imposing on another's generosity or friendship; borrow without intent to repay; or beggars) in class. Pls. bring your own paper when taking the quiz. No paper no quiz.

10. Escolarino/a behavior – Don’t laugh so loudly inside CEU campus (only); respect school authorities; don't vandal; greet all teachers, not just yours; give way to teachers in elevators; greet teachers when entering the faculty room (Don’t ask the whereabouts of teachers; they don’t know the schedules of other teachers); be polite to everyone. Apply the highest virtue in posting messages and uploading pictures in social networking sites especially face book. Your nasty posts may degrade your school’s or your own reputation.
