 PART C
COURSE ASSESSMENT:
(Criteria for Grading)
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. Quizzes; and
4. Assignments

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 50% 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; and;
3. The table below shows a sample of the range of percentage marks and their corresponding equivalents.

COURSE POLICIES: (Requirements)
A. Attendance Procedure: Attendance will be taken at the beginning of each class using the CLASS CARD which is issued to each student
upon enrolment. 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 of the 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 “F” grade, either for the assignment, laboratory report, quiz, examination, or the
course depending upon the severity of the offense.
