Practical Examination
Teachers and students work together on a skill or
task and figure out how to apply the strategy. The
teacher stays in the background, but guides
students by asking such questions as why they
have rejected or accepted some information or
some specific strategy.
This kind of examination evaluates the students'
familiarization and mastery of skills and
techniques in laboratory.
g. Oral Recitation
This will test the students' capability in expressing
orally the concepts and principle about a topic in
his/her own words. This will also improve
students' oral communication skill.
h. Problem Solving/Problem
Sets
Analytical capability is measured here. The
student’s patience in trying to solve different
problems enhances the students' critical thinking
and develops an attitude of patience and
curiosity.
This will enhance the students' enthusiasm and
values as future researchers. By working
independently to experiment and find the answer
to his/her thesis problem, the student are able to
develop attitude involve planning out his/her
experimental design and methods, continue
honing his/her laboratory skills and be exposed in
a setting where curiosity and resourcefulness is
encouraged.

students on the criteria for grading. Some aspects that can be
considered for grading are: periodic examinations, term papers, projects,
oral report/presentation, and class participation. The following guidelines
should be observed in preparing reports on rating:
 The weight allocation for each aspect is dependent on what needs to
be given emphasis by the faculty.
 Only duly registered students should be given ratings and this can be
double checked through the official class list.
Submission of Grades and Class Records
a. Grading sheets shall be submitted to the Office of the Department Head
during the designated dates and forwarded to the Office of the Registrar
within fourteen (14) days after the last day of the final examinations for

submitted and filed at the Department Office for reference in cases of
inquiries regarding computations and incomplete grades.
Incomplete Grade and Guide for Completion
a. Students who fail to take the examinations without any valid reason shall
receive a failing grade for the exam and their grade shall be computed on
their previously earned points or ratings. Only students with valid reasons
may receive an incomplete grade (INC) for not taking the finals. Some of
the valid reasons are: grave illness as certified by a licensed physician;
death of an immediate relative as supported by a death certificate; for
being an official representative of the school in conferences or contests
with supporting documents; and other similar reasons as determined by
the faculty member in consultation with the Department Head.
b. Students having academic difficulties such as those who failed to
complete a project or assignment may also receive an INC. Exemptions
are given only to students doing research work with a longer time frame,
but completion should be done within one semester for both graduate and
undergraduate students.
Guidelines for Completion of Grades
a. Once the student is ready to submit the requirements set by the professor
to complete the subject, the student secures an Application for
Completion of Grades from the Office of the Registrar to be given to the
professor concerned. The grace period to complete the grade shall
conform to the provisions cited in the University Students Handbook.
b. The professor concerned shall sign and submit the form with the assigned
rating to the Office of the Registrar in a sealed envelope to avoid
tampering of ratings.
Failing Grades
a. Failing grades, i.e. lower than 75% or its numerical rating, are given to
students who do not perform satisfactorily according to standards
required in the course. The professor, however, shall render all possible
assistance to help and encourage the student to pass the course. He
PART III: CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION
Page 159
