COURSE ASSESSMENT:
(Criteria for Grading)
Methods of Evaluation: Students will be evaluated according to the following:
05 Examinations (Check-Up Examination, Preliminary Examination, Mid-Term Examination, Semi-Final Examination, and Final Examination);
03 Recitations (Preliminary Recitation; Mid-Term Recitation; and Final Recitation);
10 Quizzes, and;

Page 8 of 10
 09 Assignments
The final course grade will be computed according to the following formula:
1. Eighty percent (80%) attendance or better,
2. Seventy five percent (75%) general average based on the grading system as follows:
a. Prelim Grade = (5%)(Assignment) + (10%)(Recitation) + (50%)(Quizzes) + (35%)[(Check-Up Exam + Prelim Exam)/2]
b. Midterm Grade = [(Prelim Grade)+ (TMG)]/2 ; Where: TMG = (5%)(Assignment) + (10%)(Recitation) + (50%)(Quizzes) + (35%)(Midterm Exam)
c. Final Grade = [(Midterm Grade) + 2(TFG)]/3 ; Where: TFG = (5%)(Assignment)+(10%)(Recitation)+(50%)(Quizzes)+(35%)[(S-Final Exam + Final Exam)/2]

(Criteria for Grading Laboratory)

Methods of Evaluation: Students will be evaluated according to the following:
05 Examinations (Check-Up Examination, Preliminary Examination, Mid-Term Examination, Semi-Final Examination, and Final Examination);
03 Attitude;
06 Quizzes, and;
15 Laboratory Activities

The final course grade will be computed according to the following formula:
1. Eighty percent (80%) attendance or better,
3. Seventy five percent (75%) general average based on the laboratory grading system as follows:
a. Prelim Grade = (15%)(Attitude) + (50%)(Skills) + (35%)[(Quizzes) + (Check-Up Exam) + (Prelim Exam)]
b. Midterm Grade = [(Prelim Grade)+ (TMG)]/2 ; Where: TMG = (15%)(Attitude) + (50%)(Skills) + (35%)[(Quizzes) + (Midterm Exam)]
c. Final Grade = [(Midterm Grade) + 2(TFG)]/3; Where: TFG = (15%)(Attitude) + (50%)(Skills) + (35%)[(Quizzes) + (S-final Exam) + (Final Exam)]

COURSE POLICIES:
(Requirements)
A. Attendance Procedure: Attendance will be taken at the beginning of each class. Students are expected to attend every class. Students are responsible for all material covered during any absence and assignments must be
completed by the due date for credit. The absence of four or more lectures and/or labs will result in a “DROPPED” grade (DRP). Missed exams will require proof of extenuating circumstances for any make-up consideration.
B. Absence due to Illness: If you are sick, DO NOT ATTEND THE CLASS. Contact the instructor by e-mail, telephone, or cellphone to discuss how you will keep up with the coursework assignments and complete the Laboratory
Experiments.
C. Methods of Instruction: Methods will include lectures and demonstrations that discuss key terms, concepts and formulae of the assigned chapter. During the discussion, a quiz about the basic concepts of each chapter will
be given. The student is expected to read one chapter and solve the assigned problems each week. This will require an average of five hours of study outside of the classroom each week. The previously assigned problems
will be collected for grading and the solutions will be derived in class. This process is designed to help the student thoroughly understand the concepts and applications of the material covered.
D. Academic Honesty: All students are expected to behave with academic honesty. It is not academically honest, for example, to misrepresent another person’s words or ideas as one’s own, to take credit for someone else’s
work or ideas, to copy and paste material from another document or from the internet, to accept help on a test or to obtain advanced information or confidential test materials, or to act in a way that might harm another
student’s chance for academic success. When the instructor believes that a student has failed to maintain academic honesty, he or she may be given an “F” grade, either for the assignment, lab report, quiz, examination, or
the course depending upon the severity of the offense.
E. Laboratory Report: It is expected that all laboratory reports will be neatly written with college level grammar and spelling. Each report should include the following sections:
• Front Page: This may be hand written or neatly typed (word processed) which will contain the following:
a. School heading;
b. Name of the College and the Department;
c. Experiment number;
d. Experiment title;
e. Date performed, date due and date submitted;
f. Name of the students, program and year level, and;
g. Name of the instructor/professor.
• Procedure: A description of the methods and materials for the lab activity to arrive at the expected output
• Data and Results: Display the data collected and the results obtained expressed as a neatly organized table of data, the mathematical models used and the calculations derived from the data, graphs of results with clearly
labeled axes. Calculations used in the experiment should be included in a clear and organized manner.

Page 9 of 10
• Questions and Answer: Questions related to the lab activity should be included and answered as completely as possible. This section will have the strongest determination for your grade.
• Group Report: At the end of the experiment, the groups are required to submit a group report which contains the data they have gathered based from the procedure of the experiment. The name of students who performed
the experiment is also written in the group report. This is submitted to the instructor after the experiment, it is evaluated and if found to be valid, the instructor signs the report and return it back to the group leader. The
group leader then asked his group members to photocopy the said report which will be submitted individually in the Laboratory Report.
