10. Course Evaluation
The highest percentage rating that may be given in any grading period is 99 and the lowest
passing grade is 75. Any grade lower than 75 is considered “Failed”. An incomplete mark
should be completed within one month from start of class in the subsequent term otherwise
such incomplete grade will become NC (no credit).
Towards the computation of student’s grades in any subject, the following are done:
1.The student’s actual total score, which refers to the sum of the student’s scores in quizzes,
assignments, projects, recitation, seatwork, examination, etc, is determined.
2.The student’s actual score is transmuted using the distribution table based on the highest
possible score.(note: the instructor will show the distribution table to the students)
There are three (3) grading periods (first grading, midterms & finals) during regular
semesters and two(2) grading period (midterms and finals) during summer. The cumulative
system of computing grades shall be followed. Grades computed for midterms and finals are
considered tentative. The final midterm grade is calculated by getting 1/3 of the first grading
grade plus 2/3 of the tentative midterm grade and the final grade is computed by getting 1/3
of the midterm grade plus 2/3 of the tentative final grade.
11. Other Course Policies
11.1.
Attendance
Attendance is checked from the first day of classes. Students who miss classes due
to late enrolment shall be marked absent for the day(s) missed.
A student who comes to class 10-15 minutes shall be marked “tardy”. Three (3)
tardy marks are equivalent to one hour of absence. A student who leaves the
classroom and stays out for the duration of the class period without the instructor’s
permission shall be marked “absent”.
A student who incurs absences of more than twenty percent (20%) of the prescribed
number of class or laboratory periods during the semester shall be dropped
automatically and given a failing grade.
11.2.
Examination
The policy of “No permit, No exam” shall be strictly enforced.
11.3.
Assignments
Assignments are due at the beginning of the class period. Late assignments, which
are passed within the class period, are worth 50% credit.
11.4.
Medium of Instruction
With the vision of becoming an English Speaking University, classroom lectures,
discussions, consultations, and other ways of communication, may it be written or
oral, must be in English.
11.5.
Conduct
The formation of character is one of the most important features of the education
system at the University. For this reason, the imposed discipline, while observant of
the rights and feeling of others, is firm, especially when the reputation of the student
body and institution is at stake. Students are expected to manifest, both within and
outside the University, the respect for order, morality, personal honor, and rights of
others, which is required of Christian men and women.
For this course the code of conduct is that there will be NO plagiarism and NO
cheating.
