Conduct/Perform Course Outcome Assessment CS101

FINAL EXAMINATION

The final course grade will be computed according to the following formula:

1. The passing standard shall be the grade of 50%. 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 all assessments. The table below shows a
sample of the range of percentage marks and their corresponding equivalents.
2. The five point grading scale is use to indicate the result of the assessment as shown below.

PERCENTAGE GRADE LETTER GRADE DESCRIPTIVE RATING FIVE POINT GRADING REMARKS
90% – 100% A Excellent 1.0 Meets minimum competence with exceptional score
80% – 89% B Very Good 1.5 Meets minimum competence with over and above average score
70% – 79% C Good 2.0 Meets minimum competence with above average score
60% – 69% D Satisfactory 2.5 Meets minimum competence with average score
50% – 59% E Passed 3.0 Meets minimum competence
0% – 49% F Failed 5.0 Does not meet the minimum competence

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
Page | 9 CONTROLLED COPY FORM NO.: BSIT#11FIL1 APPROVED BY: SCHOOL PRESIDENT

Downloaded by Bernard Otero ([email protected])

 lOMoARcPSD|36981492

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.
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: (Remedial Assessment)
1. Any student that fails on category 1 assessment (written assessments) is not allowed to take remedial assessment unless there is a valid reason such as sickness
which must be supported by a medical certificate. The remedial assessment if proven valid must be given as soon as possible (at least one week after the
students have submitted the supporting documents).
2. Any student that fails on category 2 assessment (practical assessment) is subject for remedial assessment after one week of the first assessment.
