Grading System:
Grades are computed as weighted criterion and the
general weighted average (GWA) is transmuted into
Grade-point average (GPA).

As such, have four rating periods: prelim, midterm,


semi-final and final. Each rating period is weighted
25%, and is computed as follows:
Grading System:
Attendance 10%
Practice tasks 40%
Participation 15%
Term Exam 35%
GWA Transmutation
97 – 100 1.00 76 – 78 2.75
94 – 96 1.25 75 3.00
91 – 93 1.50
88 – 90 1.75 4.00 Conditional
85 – 87 2.00 5.00 Failed
82 – 84 2.25 INC Incomplete
