PART C
COURSE REQUIREMENTS

GRADING CRITERIA:
Final Grades of the students will be based from knowledge and understanding of the course which will constitute fifty percent (50%) of the final grade. The other fifty percent
will be based from the Assessment Result (Evaluation of the course outcomes)
Knowledge and understanding will be evaluated according to the following: 
1.        Examinations (Check-Up Examination, Preliminary Examination, Mid-Term Examination, Semi-Final Examination, and Final Examination);
2. Recitations (Preliminary Recitation; Mid-Term Recitation; and Final Recitation);
3.      Quizzes, and;
4.     Assignments
5. Including the laboratory experiments, and laboratory report if the course has a laboratory component.

The final course grade will be computed according to the following formula: 
1. [(Knowledge and Understanding Result) x 0.50] + [Assessment Result] x 0.50,
2. The passing standard shall be the grade of 75% but the student must have attended at least eighty percent (80%) of the total number of required meeting of
the course, and must have a rating of “Competent” in all the Assessment Result.
3. The table below shows a sample of the range of percentage marks and their corresponding equivalents.

required number of meetings in lectures and/or laboratory 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 cell phone to discuss how you will keep up
with the coursework assignments and complete the Laboratory Experiments.

C. Methods of Instruction: Methods will include round-robin discussion 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 “FAILED” grade, either for the assignment, lab report, quiz,
examination, or the course depending upon the severity of the offense.
