The expected number of hours will be 108 including the face-to-face or virtual sessions. The face-to-face sessions shall include the summative assessment tasks (exams) since this course is crucial in the licensure examination for civil engineers. Assessment Task Submission Submission of assessment tasks shall be on 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th week of the term. The assessment paper shall be attached with a cover page indicating the title of the assessment task (if the task is performance), the name of the course coordinator, date of submission and name of the student. The document should be emailed to the course coordinator. It is also expected that you already paid your tuition and other fees before the submission of the assessment task. If the assessment task is done in real time through the features in the Blackboard Learning Management System, the schedule shall be arranged ahead of time by the course coordinator. Since this course is included in the licensure examination for civil engineers, you will be required to take the exam inside the University. This should be scheduled ahead of time by your course coordinator. Course Outline: BCE 311/L – Structural Theory Course Outline Policy mailto:

Turnitin Submission (if necessary) To ensure honesty and authenticity, all assessment tasks are required to be submitted through Turnitin with a maximum similarity index of 30% allowed. This means that if your paper goes beyond 30%, the students will either opt to redo her/his paper or explain in writing addressed to the course coordinator the reasons for the similarity. In addition, if the paper has reached more than 30% similarity index, the student may be called for a disciplinary action in accordance with the University’s OPM on Intellectual and Academic Honesty. Please note that academic dishonesty such as cheating and commissioning other students or people to complete the task for you have severe punishments (reprimand, warning, expulsion). Penalties for Late Assignments/Assessments The score for an assessment item submitted after the designated time on the due date, without an approved extension of time, will be reduced by 5% of the possible maximum score for that assessment item for each day or part day that the assessment item is late. However, if the late submission of assessment paper has a valid reason, a letter of explanation should be submitted and approved by the course coordinator. If necessary, you will also be required to present/attach evidences. Return of Assignments/ Assessments Assessment tasks will be returned to you two (2) weeks after the submission. This will be returned by email or via Blackboard portal. For group assessment tasks, the course coordinator will require some or few of the students for online or virtual sessions to ask clarificatory questions to validate the originality of the assessment task submitted and to ensure that all the group members are involved. Assignment Resubmission You should request in writing addressed to the course coordinator his/her intention to resubmit an assessment task. The resubmission is premised on the student’s failure to comply with the similarity index and other reasonable grounds such as academic literacy standards or other reasonable circumstances e.g. illness, accidents financial constraints. Re-marking of Assessment Papers and Appeal You should request in writing addressed to the program coordinator your intention to appeal or contest the score given to an assessment task. The letter should explicitly explain the reasons/points to contest the College of Engineering Education 2nd Floor, B&E Building Matina Campus, Davao City Telefax: (082) 296-1084 Phone No.: (082)300-5456/300-0647 Local 133 Page 4 of 31 grade.
