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

This will be randomly checked during class hours and at the end of the semester.
4. Recitation – Every recitation is merited with one point. All points shall be added with a corresponding grade every grading
period.

online activity scores should be bound for collection and grading before the final examinations.
6. 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.

8. 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.

Office (SAO). The RC should be signed by the adviser first before giving it to the subject teacher for approval and signature.

11. 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.
12. 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.
13.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
