Page 13 of 28
Parameter C – ASSESSMENT OF ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE

1. SYSTEM-INPUTS AND PROCESSES

 The following are the LNU policies of assessing academic performance of the
students:

Grading System

Students are graded in each course at the end of each term as follows:

There shall be an institutional grading system using number grades from

“1.0” to “5.0” where “1.0” is the highest and “5.0” means failure. The lowest
passing grade in university courses is “3.0” for the undergraduate and “2.0”
for graduate courses.
All students must meet the academic standards set by the University in its
program of quality education by obtaining at least 2.5 (2.3 for the College of
Education) grade point average (GPA) at the close of each semester.

Quality Marks Numerical Rating

Excellent 1.0 (100 – 95)
Very Good 1.1 – 1.5 (94 – 90)
Good 1.6 – 2.5 (89 – 80)
Fair 2.6 – 3.0 (79 – 75)
Conditional 4.0 (74 – Below)
Failure 5.0 Student must repeat
the subject
Incomplete (INC) Course not completed
at the end of term, late
Completion authorized
Dropped (DRP)

 Numerical points are used in computing GPA. The MIS Unit gives students
the grade reports at the onset of the succeeding semester. The University also
provides free online checking on grade reports in the local area network.
 A grade of 3.0 is the minimum acceptable passing grade in all courses.
However, the College of Education requires at least GPA of 2.3 for a student
to qualify for second year of residence or specialization/major.
 A conditional grade of 4.0 is given to a student who has not reached the
passing score for requirements (especially major exams) set by the faculty.
Any student who receives such a grade is required to take a removal
examination scheduled just after classes become regular in the semester
immediately following the semester when the "Condition" mark was received.
 If the student passes the removal examination, the grade is changed to 3.0
otherwise it is changed to 5.0 or failure.
 A grade of "INC" indicates the student has not completed the course
requirements. For an "INC" to be converted to the appropriate grade, the
student must complete all requirements within the semester succeeding the
time the course was not taken. Otherwise, one gets an automatic 5.0 or failure.
 Any guide of "INC" or 4.0 should be completed or removed not later than two
(2) semesters after such grade is received. Failure to do so would mean
receiving a grade of 5.0.
 A special fee is charged when an undergraduate/graduate student removes a
4.0 or completes an "INC." Removal/Completion available at the Registrar's
Office.
Page 14 of 28
  The letters "DRP" show that the student has dropped a course with the
consent of his Dean. If he drops a course without the permission of his Dean,
the grade for the course automatically becomes 5.0 or Fail.
 The college dean warns students whose records indicate poor overall
standing as evidenced by several deficiencies in grades. The student will be
put on "On Probation" status. Probationary students are expected to improve
substantially during the following semester while on academic warning;
otherwise they will be denied enrolment in the subsequent terms.

2. IMPLEMENTATION

 Different evaluation measures are used to ensure that the students’

performance meet expected outcomes.

Page 15 of 28
 the students are appropriate. Each faculty is required to submit a copy of the
test with the table of specification or rubrics. The instruments are presented
to other faculty members for possible scrutiny and correction. Suggestions are
considered in the revision of such instruments.

3. OUTCOMES

 The students’ academic performance is commendable as exhibited in the

written, oral and authentically evaluated outputs.

4. BEST PRACTICES

Parameter D – MANGEMENT OF LEARNING

1. SYSTEM-INPUTS AND PROCESSES

 The Leyte Normal University has policies for management of learning as

follows:
A. Academic Adviser
 A BSIT student shall be assigned to a faculty member who
will follow-up the progress of his/her academic standing
throughout his/her stay in the program. Each year level is
assigned to one (1) faculty member.
B. Student Attendance
 All students are expected to attend class regularly. After
incurring three (3) to four (4) unexcused absences in a
particular subject, the student is warned and sent to OSA to
fill out admission slip (form 001), then to the guidance for
counseling. A student who commits more than seven (7)
excused or unexcused absences (based on the 20% of
required hours of attendance for the semester) during the
semester will be automatically dropped from the rolls.
However, a student may submit a written petition for
reconsideration from the Dean of Student Affairs.
 All DIGITS members (a recognized student organization of
the University for the BSIT program) shall participate in
important activities or social affairs of the organization as
may be determined by the officers and adviser. Members
shall attend all the meetings, assembly, and seminars as
may be called by the organization, the officers, adviser, and
committees.
C. Class Load
 A normal faculty workload is equivalent to a minimum of 18
units. The officially approved work load more than the
normal work load shall be entitled to an honorarium provided
that such honorarium shall not exceed the amount
corresponding to six units of undergraduate credits. Subject
de-loading shall be applied to faculty members with
designation.
D. Retention
 To be in the program, a BSIT student must be in good
standing and must not have a grade lower than the required
by the university.
E. Policies on Discipline
 The same rules on discipline that are listed in the
undergraduate student handbook shall apply.
F. Examinations
 Two major exams are to be taken by a BSIT student per
subject area during each academic term, that is the midterm
and final examinations. Results of these tests indicate to
some degree the extent of the attainment of the educational
objectives and therefore comprise a substantial basis for
grading.
G. Extra-Curricular Activities
 Seminars, and training are included in the action plan of the
student organization as well as in program curriculum to

Page 17 of 28
 enrich the student with new ideas and development in the IT
industry.

2. IMPLEMENTATION

 To ensure effective classroom management, the following are undertaken:

 Teachers make sure that the course schedule as reflected in the
syllabus is followed.
 Students are enjoined to follow house rules that are agreed upon by the
whole class.
 Teachers regularly check the attendance of the students and policy on
class attendance is strictly implemented.
 Students output are immediately corrected and returned.
 Teachers strictly require the students to submit their requirements on-
time. Corresponding deductions are made for late submissions.
 Teachers allow students to think independently and collaborate with
other students for solutions to a problem.
 Student performance is strictly monitored to determine the effectiveness
of the teaching strategy.
 A seminar was conducted to enhance the teaching strategy of the BSIT
faculty.

3. OUTCOMES

 Learning is effectively managed as both faculty and students observe the

schedule of academic and other prescribed and agreed upon related
activities. Moreover, students’ outputs are corrected, recorded and returned
to the learners on time. Schedule of activies indicated in the syllabus is strictly
followed.

4. BEST PRACTICES

 The BSIT students routinely make a consultation appointment with the faculty
members. This serves as an avenue for them to raise questions, clarify, or
seek for advice or guidance on academic and non-academic related activities.
The year level adviser monitors the performance of the students every
semester through subject advising before or during enrollment and calls the
attention of the student whose performance is falling behind.

Parameter E – GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS

1. SYSTEM-INPUTS AND PROCESSES

 Policies of the Leyte Normal University regarding academic and graduation

requirements are as follows:

Graduation Requirement
A. Only students who have satisfactorily completed the requirements of
a particular course of study shall be eligible for graduation.
B. All candidates for graduation must have their deficiencies cleared
and their records in order.
C. The registrar shall publish a list of all candidates for graduation
before the end of each term.
D. For preliminary academic evaluation and advice, all applications for
graduation must be filed at the registrar’s office few months before
the end of each term.

2. IMPLEMENTATION

 BSIT students are given copies of the student’s handbook upon

admission to the university. The registrar's office posts relevant
announcement to bulletin boards inside the campus. Further, a copy of
the student handbook is posted at the LNU website under the student
services section.

3. OUTCOMES

 The program has produced a highly commendable rate of graduates. More

than 60% of the 4th year standing students were able to finish the degree on
time.

4. BEST PRACTICES

 Year level advisers closely monitor the advisory class to take necessary
actions needed about academic matters. For fourth year students, the adviser
evaluates the student grades after the last term. Adviser affixes his/her
signature in the student's application for graduation as proof of academic
clearance in the program. After which, the registrar evaluates further the
application. Further, the registrar’s office posts the name of students who
qualify for the graduation.

Page 19 of 28
Parameter F – ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT FOR EFFECTIVE INSTRUCTION

1. SYSTEM-INPUTS AND PROCESSES

 Substitution or special arrangements whenever a faculty is on leave or on

official business/time is stipulated in page 12 of the Faculty Handbook, which
states that:
A faculty member may be allowed to go on special detail to attend
conferences, seminars, and the like, or serve as consultant or resource
person, during a semester if the total amount of class missed is not more than
20% of the time for each course he/she is handling during the semester.
The faculty member must make up for the days he/she will be absent, either
prior to the trip or immediately after return. The arrangement should be with
mutual agreement of the students. If another faculty member is requested to
handle the class, a written conforme to this effect should accompany the
application for travel or leave.
The Unit Head or Dean, should see to it that the arrangement for substitute
teachers or make up classes are complied with in order to ensure that the
students are not short-changed

 Policies on giving awards and or recognition of faculty and students with

outstanding achievements are covered in the LNU PRAISE and Dayaw
Awards. The approved PRAISE (PRogram on Awards and Incentives for
Service Excellence) of the University specifies how outstanding work of a
faculty is recognized (Faculty Handbook, page 42). The University has
institutionalized Dayaw Awards to recognize Faculty, Staff and Students who
have outstanding achievements for or exemplary service to the university. The
Dayaw Awards is held yearly during the Foundation Days Celebration of LNU.

 Faculty performance is supervised and monitored through class observations

conducted by the Head of the IT and Comp. Ed. Unit and/or the Dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences. The faculty himself, students, peers, and unit
head give ratings to the performance of a particular faculty through the use of
the Faculty Performance Evaluation System form.
 The BSIT Faculty Performance Evaluation results in the last six terms are
consistently very satisfactory as shown in the table below.

2. IMPLEMENTATION

 The faculty members of the IT and Comp. Ed. Unit seek substitution and or
special arrangements whenever they have to go on official leave. This is
particularly stipulated in page 12 of the LNU Faculty Handbook. To make up
for the lost meeting, the faculty member file for an application to conduct
Remedial/makeup class. This is subject to the approval
