o To be able to use the transmutation table above, the following is the computation from the zero-
based grade:

(Zero-based grade x 0.625) + 37.5 = Final grade

Class Standing Requirements:
 Problem solving exercises or seatworks are usually given at the start or near the end of the
lecture period. Some exercises are solved through team effort to promote cooperative learning.
 Problem set assignments are done individually. Outputs are collected at the beginning of the
next class session.
 Students will be rated individually in the group oral presentation through the rubric.
 Reflection notebook is required every group oral presentation and will be checked using the
rubric.

VIII. VIRTUAL CLASSROOM NETEQUETTE AND REMINDERS

• Make sure to find a quiet and clean space to make the online class pleasant for everyone.
This will help you focus on your online class.
• It is important to have your computer/ device or cellphone charged prior to the online class in
order not to hamper you from attending the entire online class session.
• Log-in to your online class 5 or 10 minutes before your scheduled time to prepare yourself to
the online class session.

 • Edit your MS Teams profile by uploading your picture for easy recognition by everyone in
the online classroom.
• As much as possible, you are expected to turn-on your video while the class is ongoing to
make sure that you are present all throughout the online class session.
• Always mute your microphone while the on line session is on-going. If you want to ask a
question or clarification, use the raise hand button and un-mute your microphone only after
you have been recognized.
• Remember to speak in a clear, polite and modulated manner. Avoid speaking too fast so
that you will be easily understood by everyone.
• You are not required to wear your PLM uniform, but it is expected that you dress
appropriately. Wear clothes that are neat and presentable for your online class.
• Avoid anything that will distract you from the online class session. This is to show respect to
the professor and your classmates.
• Regularly check our Learning Management Systems (LMS) platform for uploaded
modules/handouts, assignments/home-works, video links and other additional learning
supplements.
• Focus on the online class session. Take down notes so that it would be easier to remember
important lessons.
• Remember that our online experiences can be just as effective academically and formatively
as face-to-face classes if we are responsible and accountable for our own learnings.
• Remember also that our foremost objective in this online platform is more on learning than
the technology. It’s not just about academics but more importantly the formation of our
character as individuals.
• According to Alfred North Whitehead, in his article entitled “The Aims of Education” written in
1916, “There is only one subject matter for education and that is LIFE in all its
manifestations”.
• Additional policies and reminders may be implemented to adapt to the changing class
environment. You are advised to be aware of such updates.
