COURSE ASSESSMENT:
(Criteria for Grading)
Methods of Evaluation: Students 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

The final course grade will be computed according to the following formula: 
1. Eighty percent (80%) attendance or better,
2. The passing standard shall be the grade of 75%. To get the percentile grade, the number of correct answers called
raw score shall be divided by the total number of test points and multiplied by 100. Percentage (%) is used in
determining and expressing a student’s raw scores in every examination, quiz, assignments and recitations. The table
below shows a sample of the range of percentage marks and their corresponding equivalents.
3. Percentage (%) is used in determining and expressing a student’s raw scores in every examination. The table below
shows a sample of the range of percentage marks and their corresponding equivalents.

75% C Satisfactory 3.00 Meets minimum competence with average score
Below 75% D Failed 4.00 Does not meet the minimum competence

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 more than twenty percent (<20%) of the required number of meetings in 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 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

Page | 18 CONTROLLED COPY FORM NO.: BSCSIG#12ENG2 APPROVED BY: SCHOOL PRESIDENT
 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.
