FINAL COURSE OUTPUT:

The student will submit a compilation of all the snap examinations, term
examinations, and activities which are all evaluated using the rubric below as the
final course output.

RUBRIC FOR ASSESSMENT:

Majority of the student’s final grade will be evaluated in a problem-based approach.

Thus, a rubric for scoring or grading tool will be implemented to measure the
student’s performance and learning across a set of criteria and objectives. Listed
in the table below are the criteria and the corresponding indicators that will be used
for scoring the student’s exam.

OTHER REQUIREMENTS AND ASSESSMENTS:

The student will be assessed at other times during the term by the following: Snap
Exams, Term Examinations, and Activities.

GRADING SYSTEM:

Snap Exams --- 40%

Midterm Examination --- 25%
Final Examination --- 25%
Activities --- 10%

PASSING GRADE: 75%

FORMULA:
Equivalent Grade = 0.40 (SNAP EXAMS) + 0.25 (M.E) + 0.25 (F.E) + 0.10
(ACTIVITIES)

BulSU-OP-DI-04F1

where:
SNAP EXAMS, M.E, F.E & ACTIVITIES = {[(total raw score/total items) *100]
*0.8333} + 100 – 83.33
The academic performance of the student shall be rated using the following
grading system:

Final Grade Equivalent Grade Final Grade Equivalent Grade

1.00 97 – 100% 2.25 82 – 84%
1.25 94 – 96% 2.50 79 – 81%
1.50 91 – 93% 2.75 76 – 78%
1.75 88 – 90% 3.00 75%
2.00 85 – 87% 5.00 Failed

NOTE: Student who will received a rating of “INC” have a maximum of one (1)
year to complete the requirements; otherwise, it automatically becomes “5.00”.

CLASS POLICIES:

1. Students are required to wear the University I.D always. As well as the
prescribed school uniform on days required or appropriate attire on free
days within the campus.
2. Students are expected to attend the class regularly. Students whose
absences are determined by their instructors to be excessive may be
dropped from the course. Unavoidable absences should be reported to the
instructor as soon as possible. Absences caused by participation in a
campus-sponsored activity are considered official. Students must make up
the work missed even though the absences are official.
3. All take home activities must be submitted on prescribed dates, during
lecture hours. Failure to comply will result to a 10-point deduction from the
final score and will be deducted 10 more points for each day the student
fails to pass the said activity. Additionally, activities should be written in A4
(8.27” x 11.69”) and long bond paper (8.5” x 13”) for all seatwork. A 5-point
deduction will be given for those who will not follow.
4. Correction of scores earned on any examinations taken (as well as on
activities) can be done only until two (2) working days upon returning the
paper.
5. Giving special examination for those students who missed snap exams and
term examinations (midterm and final exam) is upon the discretion of the
instructor and can be only possible in case of medical emergencies
(accompanied by a medical certificate signed by the physician) and force
majeure. This can be only be done within only ten (10) working days after
the exam date.
