G. Rubrics

● Rubric in Projects/Outputs – Doc. Code: SLSU-QF-IN30

H. Provisions for Flexibility:

Academic Integrity
● In this course, all submitted works of the student must be original (e.g. must be written or programmed by the student exclusively, unless explicitly
stated otherwise) and must include acknowledgment of any collaborators or sources (other than course text books or handouts) used to produce the
submission. However, students are not permitted to review assignments or solutions or course materials from similar courses offered at other
institutions in preparing the work.
● Students are encouraged to discuss course material with other students. Discussion of assignments is also allowed, but sharing of solutions or code is
strictly forbidden.
Final Project
● All topics within the scope of this course syllabus shall compose the minimum requirement for the final project. In addition, the students are also
required to introduce new concepts, techniques or technology beyond the project’s minimum requirement.
● There should be equal opportunity for men and women to take leadership responsibility in every class activity or undertakings.
Student with Special Needs
● Students with special needs shall be dealt with appropriately depending on the course activities /requirements.
